Cheltenham Town 1 - 2 Macclesfield Town
Football League 2. Friday 16th October

Jon Rooney - Macclesfield Town (but not for long......)

I just wanted to provide a quick update on some transfer news that makes slightly less headlines than Ade's imminent exit.

Firstly there is the news that Veljko Batrovic has been offered a trial at Arsenal. At the age of 15, this diminutive forward has already drawn comparisons to Lionel Messi for his style of play.

Pre-Season starts in just 3 days time as Boro travel to Chemsford on Wednesday night. It's a less high profile start to pre-season after last years visit to Gillingham. The Stevenage players and staff have been back in training for about 2 weeks now and should be at a good fitness level going into the first game.

You know that thing you get when your alarm goes off and you think 'It's Saturday, I can have a lie in!' but seconds later you realise it's not Saturday but Thursday and you have to be up earlier than normal because your car which went to the garage and was supposed to be ready yesterday but isn't because they found stuff wrong with it which is going to take ages to fix and is probably going to cost a fortune which means having to leave the house much earlier than you normally would because you have to walk to get somewhere and you have two very painful ankles from football so you'd rather not walk at all but walking is far preferable to getting the bus because the bus is full of smelly people who cough all the time and spread germs?

With Manchester United and Aston Villa joining most of the other Premier League clubs in the fourth round, the FA Cup draw has cooked up some interesting draws. The pick of the bunch is perhaps the Merseyside derby. Everton will be making the short trip to Anfield in the fourth round to take on cross-town rivals Liverpool. Click to continue reading...

I'm loving being second in the League table - even if it is League 1.
Probably not as much as Hull fans will be enjoying being above Manchester United in the Premiership though.
And I wonder how we will get on tomorrow night against Fulham in the League cup. We did well last year - beating Aston Villa and only just losing out to Chel$ea . Click to continue reading...

3 wins out of 3 against Millwall (H), Leeds Utd (A) (the team that thought they would go all season unbeaten!) and Cheltenham (H) in the League and an away win at Rochdale in the Carling cup. Top of the League after three games and the only 100% record. Does it get any better than this - - - lets see! Click to continue reading...
