League 2
Sat. 14th Nov. 2009
I listened to the last 15 minutes of the game in the car. My wife was in the passenger seat looking into the far distance. She was miles away. I was preoccupied with the game but she became still and almost vacant. Click to continue reading...

We'll be back a little later on today with a report on the match between Paulton Rovers and Norwich City.

It's time for the next of our gargantuan pre-season previews we're off to League Two, where the Bovril is likely to be scalding hot and the pies may still be frozen in the middle. Perhaps surprisingly, everybody that finished last season starts this time around, and no-one (at the time of writing) has been deducted any points yet, either.

by CARL ELDRIDGE A mixed bag of tabloid tales greet those interested this morning my fellow Wengerites but the reserves' 3-2 win at Lincoln City last night seems to have escaped mass coverage for some reason!

For the record, goals from Gilles Sunu, Jay Emmanuel-Thomas and Luke Ayling's last-gasp winner were enough to see off the Imps at Sincil Bank.

It's worth having a look at some of the pre season fixtures that some of the Premier League's finest will be undertaking, before the gruelling Premier League season starts up again. That exciting time is just over a month away, but teams need to see how their new signings are going to fit in, if there are any weaknesses that need to be attended to, and if there is any money to be milked out of any far east countries!

Meet The Dirty Scoundrels We don't come across too many folksy acoustic tributes to League Two clubs, so we thought this was worth bringing to your attention. We're not quite sure the line "As a young boy I couldnt't wait / To get on the bus to Sincil Bank" tracks properly (or many of the subsequent [. Click to continue reading...

For the most part, things went according to plan in the First Round of the Carling Cup, which was contested over a period of a couple days earlier this week. There were a couple upsets -- League Two side Rotherham United went to Sheffield Wednesday and bounced the favorite out in a shootout, and Yeovil Town made a trip to The Valley and beat Charlton Athletic 1-0 -- and some tricky games for the big boys at this stage of tournament -- Derby County needed extra time to put away Lincoln City, as did Wolves to overcome Accrington Stanley -- but other than that, the favorites held serve.
