After the disappointment of going out of the FA Cup against Port Vale in midweek, StevenageÂ
bounced back with a good, solid win over Forest Green Rovers. Westley's side began the game 5
points adrift of leaders Oxford United at the top of the Blue Square Premier table and with them
beating Barrow at the Kassam Stadium, the 3 points were even more important as Boro try to keep at
pace with Oxford in the run up to Christmas.

Apologies about the lack of posting recently. I've slipped into an euphoria-induced coma at the
sight of Tom Huddlestone and Peter Crouch both coming on for England in Doha on Saturday. The
prognosis? I'll be okay in the long run but Jermaine Jenas definitely won't go to the World
Cup.
I promise normal service will be resumed shortly, once the deluge of Uni work is eased a little
bit.

It's back to league action this weekend as Gateshead make the long journey south to play
Stevenage in a fixture which was last played in 1998 with the 'Tynesiders' winning the game 2-1
at the International Stadium. Boro though won the reverse fixture earlier that season 6-1, so I
doubt the Gateshead fans have that fond of memories of Hertfordshire.

Pantomime season is almost upon us, but the contradictory stories over the future of Robinho
