Stevenage are on the road again this weekend as they make a trip up to Glanford Park to face
Alan Knill's Scunthorpe United. Boro are still managerless after Graham Westley's departure last
Friday, but they will be confident going into the game after a run of 10 away games in all
competitions without defeat.
To look closely at the associated regulations is to acknowledge the Football League's existing loan
system as nothing less than a free for all. ‘Temporary loan transfer' is the umbrella heading
which comprises the following three types of move permissible under the current system: •
‘Standard Loans' (half or full season in length and arranged during the two transfer windows);
• ‘Emergency Loans' (28-93 days in length and arranged both within the two transfer windows and
during fixed periods outside these dates); • ‘Youth Loans' (identical to ‘Emergency Loans'
but applies to scholars or new professionals on a work experience-type.
This weekend's fixtures look like a pretty sedate set on the face of it. Leeds' terrestrially
televised trip across the shires to meet Burnley and what may be the most pathetic grudge in
history, Saints versus Seagulls, are worth keeping on the radar perhaps, but otherwise I can't help
but be drawn down the leagues to the two derbies west of Bristol.

Only a year ago Jay-Z was rumoured to be pondering investing in his favourite "soccer" club
Arsenal, and now another hip hop icon, Snoop Dogg, has given a shout out to Welsh wing wizards
Gareth Bale and Ryan Giggs.
Snoop is kicking off his new world tour in the UK and will be performing in Cardiff on October
8th, hence the promos.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has the craft, guile and brains to become an Arsenal great. That is the
opinion of coach Pat Rice after the Oxo Kid scored on his Champions League debut in last night's
2-1 win over Olympiakos at the Emirates.
At just 18, he became the youngest English scorer in the competition, with Theo Walcott and Jack
Wilshere close behind him.
This week's Monday Profile comes from our Yeovil previewer Ben Barrett, whose writings can usually
be found at http://barrettsportswriting.webs.com/. Browsing through the BBC Sport pages, you
quickly learn that there really have been a lot of comings and goings this summer. Some, like
Aguero and Nasri, attract worldwide media attention.

Last season, Brighton cantered to the title, with Southampton and Huddersfield fighting
neck-and-neck for most of the campaign before the Saints eventually prevailed and were joined in
the Championship by play-off winners Peterborough. But who will be up there or thereabouts this
year?
Who's Looking Good?

Like Achilles' ankles or Steffi Graf's backhand, Swansea City's weakness over the past few seasons
of approximate excellence has been all too obvious. Jason Scotland was the key fulcrum for a time,
but the goals for column has rarely been a totalizer at the Liberty. That all ended this Spring
when Brendan Rodgers - he of the Big League contacts - took a drive down Fulham Broadway and came

Diomansy Kamara started and played 75 minutes in Leicester City's 3-2 loss at
Nottingham Forest on Good Friday. He did not dress in the Foxes' 4-2 over Watford on Easter
Monday.

atDoncaster on Good Friday.
In his second contribution to the two unfortunates in as many weeks, Ben Barrett profiles Stephen
Henderson, scourge of many a League One striker. The role of second choice goalkeeper must be one
of the most frustrating jobs in football, yet being a back-up and then seeing your club sign an
England stopper must make your heart sick.

The club has announced that Andros Townsend has joined Watford on loan until the end of the
season, after spending the first part of this campaign at Ipswich. He has previously had loans at
Orient, MK Dons & Yeovil.
Townsend impressed during his Spurs debut in the FA Cup third round game against Charlton,
scoring our first goal in the 3-0 win.
Before I move on, I'd like to apologise unreservedly to any Yeovil fans who've come across this
site before. A not-so-grand total of two articles have been posted with Glovers tags, and neither
of those pieces were solely dedicated to this, the other Green Army. Having been off the main
correspondents' radar for, well, ever, this is the first season that we've managed to catch up
