Use your common sense how can there be new arrivals at sixfields when the club is up for sale, The directors are not going to fork out money to buy, or to contract new players if they run the risk of having to support the club in the longer term.If the club is sold then surely the new owners want to buy the players they want. By putting the club up for sale the directors have stated that they can give no more.
MOANEY FROM WEST at 23:11:35 Wednesday October 31 2001
BEFORE I GOT CARRIED AWAY I WONDERED IF THERE WAS ANY NEW ARRIVALS DUE AT SIXFIELDS SOON I HOPE.
A Childs View at 23:9:25 Wednesday October 31 2001
Interesting stuff about Asamoah below. He's by no means the finished article and needs good coaching if he is to realise his potential, but, he is quick, different and can beat a player - not a bad start!! I like him just because he puts the effort in and seems genuinely enthused at being on the pitch. The others could learn a thing or two from him!! Oh, and for the record, I'm not a woman!! I may go on like one sometimes but that's just Cobblers chatter!!

Rip off programmes produced for minor games should be distributed free or a donation asked for.Last night effort 2pieces of A4 paper with two small items of news in big print,mostly adverts plus fixtures as in Saturdays multipage effort plus team squads not the actual team===that was distributed free I believe to a select few.===cost of so called programme one pound.I don't mind giving money to the club but play the game.Let's get it right on the field on Saturday
MOANEY FROM WEST at 23:3:46 Wednesday October 31 2001
WHY IS IT 95% OF FANS REMEMBER THEMSELVES TO FAR BETTER PLAYERS THAN THEY WERE OR CONSIDER THEMSELVES TO BE ABLE TO PLAY AT A CONSIDERABLY HIGHER LEVEL THAN THEY COULD AND THEY ALL HAVE HAD TRIALS BUT NEVER GOT IN, STRANGE?.I FOR ONE HAD SCOUTS WATCH ME PLAY HOWEVER IN THE COLD LIGHT OF DAY I WAS TOO SLOW AND WASNT GOOD ENOUGH.I DONT THINK FOR I MINUTE THAT MEANS I CANT HAVE AN OPINION ,I DONT HURL ABUSE AT ANY PLAYER BUT I WILL INDULGE IN A DISCUSSION AND I AM NO SUPPORTER OF FRAIN GETTING A PLACE IN THE TEAM THE STATISTICS OF GAMES WON OR LOST WITH/WITHOUT HAVE BIG MILEAGE ALONE.HE IS SIMPLY NOW TOO SLOW AND LOOKS LIKE HE PANICS WHEN HE GETS THE BALL AS IF HE KNOWS IT.
IF WE ASSUME THAT UNLESS YOU PLAY FOOTBALL TO A HIGH LEVEL OR USED
TO YOU SHOULDNT SAY ANYTHING OR EVEN ATTEND THEN WE BEST CHANGE GAMES
TO SUNDAY NIGHTS AND CLOSE THREE QUARTERS OF THE GROUND!

DR4E at 19:28:44 proves that he is indeed a spotty inadequate teenage loser with no friends. Now come and get me!! LOL. I'm well scared. Will you squirt me in the eyes with Biactol
Nosey Parker at 20:12:33 Wednesday October 31 2001
DR4E I cannot remember a posting from you after the 7-1 Cardiff defeat for about 3 days.........amazing short memorys these Diremonds supporters have I blame it on the interbreeding myself!!!
Rodders at 19:31:13 Wednesday October 31 2001
Anyone claiming that Burgess and Hope are crap clearly don't recall the match ay QPR ten days ago. The Rangers fans around me claimed it was the best defence they'd seen in years. If Burgess was as crap as some make out he wouldn't have played for a decade in a higher division. Problem with Cobblers fans is that everything is black or white. The fact is that all of our players are mediocre and inconsistent; they are not crap, nor are they brilliant. As for Asamoah, he has always looked good when he has started a match; anyone who has ever played football will tell you that it is very hard coming on as a sub. Stop bloody moaning and support the team. I left at half-time at Cambridge because I was sick and tired of the torrent of abuse aimed at players like Frain - not my favourite player. I looked around the terraces at these tubs of lard who clearly have never played the game hurling abuse at our own players. Why do they bother going?
DR4E at 19:28:44 Wednesday October 31 2001
I KNOW WHO YOU ARE. YOU SHOULD NEXT TIME BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU TELL YOUR SO CALLED MATES THAT YOU WIND PEOPLE UP ON THIS SITE. I AM GOING TO GIVE YOU A HIDING FOR EVERY COBBLERS FAN ON THIS SITE. GET YOURSELF A LAPTOP BECAUSE YOU WILL BE WRITING SORRIES FROM THE GENERAL WHILE YOU ARE SPITTING TEETH. YOU FUCKING NO MARK. SEE YOU SOON.
FTD at 18:31:4 Wednesday October 31 2001
Congratulations DR4E,today you have proved what a sad lonely twat you really are.Get a life!!The Cobblers might be shit at the moment but we will stay loyal.(Ask one of the big boys at your kindergarden what loyal means!)
Hotel Ender at 18:30:45 Wednesday October 31 2001
Well said TOPS. It's good to see some positive comment amongst the yah boo stuff that this site has too much of. I agree that when (and soon please) Sammo gets back, Spedding should be given the other centre back position, since Hope and Burgess are without doubt the worst centre backs in the Division. This would enable Hope to go to left back which is his best position, and Burgess to go to right back, thus relieving all of us of the heart stopping farting about by Marsh especially in his own penalty area with no-one between him and Welch. This may help to staunch the bleeding of the worst goals against in the league. Only one problem - Spedd can't head a ball, which, unfortunately is a pre-requisite for the job. I still think he couldn't do worse than what we currently have.
Anon at 18:11:59 Wednesday October 31 2001
The merger is nigh !
Paul S at 15:32:41 Wednesday October 31 2001
Oh - that explains a lot - Man U supporter then
A Childs View at 15:29:37 Wednesday October 31 2001
What's wrong with being a woman football fan?
DR4E at 14:45:12 Wednesday October 31 2001
Contrary to the myth propogated by wobblers supporters, Diamonds fans did not in former years support the wobblers. Most of them realised that the wobblers are and always have been a two-bob team with no ambition or expertise, and only started supporting a local team when one appeared which did have the foresight and ambition and let's not forget the BACKING to make a real go of it.
TOP at 14:44:36 Wednesday October 31 2001
Thank you Mal - I too would only have paid Welch for turning up (perhaps Spedding too?). To be fair, Gabbi WAS injured in the first 10 minute which is why he didn't appear in the second half. I believe it was when a player kneed him and he stayed down mid way in their half. He should have come off and I hear he was bollocked for not doing so. There were only two attempts on goal - both from Parkin, poor efforts but I don't quite see why Asa, no shots on goal, is such a saint and Parkin such a sinner. All the outfield players other than the much maligned Spedding were awful. He wasn't brilliant - but he must have been confused by the lack of effort and skill around him. Why haven't any of the anti Spedding people acknowledged this? They never cheer the lad, just sit and wait for a mistake and then rubbish him. Yes, plenty of mistakes - but not as many as the others last night, but still no encouragement. It is not only managers who have blind spots ... it is most of the contributers to this site .... yes, yes, yes, including me.
But we all seem to agree on one thing - Welch has saved us from being even more embarrassed than we are at present.
I had hoped that Parkin would have made the difference, sadly he hasn't - but who have we got as a target man to take on the heavies? Hunter might be back for Saturday, Sammo will be back soon - but that will not help us score more goals. I wonder if our soundest centre backs would be Sammo and Spedding? They must give up with Frain in the mid field - he has only ever played well at left back and if that skill has gone ......
Dyl at 14:30:29 Wednesday October 31 2001
Clearly Mal you did not see Del boy come on against Brighton. Setting a goal up with his first bit of posession and scoring a goal at the death. He hasn't played well recently but he usually only gets 5 to 10 mins at the end of the game. He needs a more consistent run of playing in order to get the most out of him.
DRE4 at 13:51:24 Wednesday October 31 2001
It used to happen Jonti but now none of your players are good enough for a the super Diamond team,that are now number 1 in Northants.
Mal at 13:33:57 Wednesday October 31 2001
Am I the only one who doesn't rate Asamoha? Whenever I have seen him come on, he he runs around like a ferret in a shoe box, tries to take on everyone and then falls over. I have yet to see him pass the ball to another Cobblers player. Admittedly he is fast, its almost as though his legs work faster than his brain, but he has to be able to take the ball with him as well. I believe he has got great potential, but he is not the player everyone is making out.
Jonty at 13:7:34 Wednesday October 31 2001
The Cobblers will always be worth it DR4E, i've got claret blood through my body. You never know, maybe one day you will see sense again and clean out the spirits within you and turn back and follow the only quality Northants side "NTFC"!
DR4E at 12:46:4 Wednesday October 31 2001
FYI there must be quite a few DR4Es because they are not all me.
DR4E at 12:45:4 Wednesday October 31 2001
"a sad old lonely **** with nothing better to do". Why yes, since at 30 seconds a post it hardly stops me from working at all. You sound angry and depressed my friend, perhaps the wobblers aren't worth the bother?
Jonty at 12:33:36 Wednesday October 31 2001
DR4E - Do you actually do anything worth while during the day, you know something that involves working. Seems to me you are a sad old lonely **** with nothing better to do. Come to think of it why not go down to the Nene and drown yourself instead of going to the other Nene and boring yourself to death.
DR4E at 12:26:43 Wednesday October 31 2001
After all, the Diamonds are run as a FOOTBALL CLUB, not a local council charity show.
DR4E at 12:26:8 Wednesday October 31 2001
You can pray all you like but there is no chance of us taking donkeys like Frain or Parkin off your hands.
DR4E at 12:25:7 Wednesday October 31 2001
Jonty - that's what USED to happen. It won't happen again unless you unexpectedly unearth a decent player (doubtful since you have no youth academy or scouts by the looks of things), however if you did we would take them off your hands. Forget the superiority complex wobblers fans. Soon you will be brought back to reality when we are both in Div 3 next season, unless we get promoted.
Jonty at 11:26:8 Wednesday October 31 2001
DR4E... Tell you what, if any of our Players leave feel free to take them on at your club, after all that's what normally happens!
Who gives a F#ck who I am at 11:25:4 Wednesday October 31 2001
DR4E f#ck Off youre a tw#t and not welcome. LDV Trophy do the same thing.The 2nd Division is what counts lets see how the team goes over the next half a dozen games.Broadhurst is here to keep us competing in the league Kev couldn't do it at this level.Put up or F#ck off Broadhurst.We're waiting to see what you can do when it gets tough.Kev was a star but couldn't motivate these twats wearing Claret to wear it with pride. If you cant dont take the piss get rid of the wasters or get rid yourself.
The Cobbler at 11:24:58 Wednesday October 31 2001
Thank god for 2View, I thought I was the only one who could see that.
NTFC@2view at 11:15:39 Wednesday October 31 2001
Many of you are too kind to Asamoah. He falls over and little else.
DR4E at 10:53:42 Wednesday October 31 2001
Of course you are not a club in crisis at all.
DR4E at 10:50:57 Wednesday October 31 2001
Brilliant! You want half your squad to **** off. Bring on the wobblers! Looking forward to seeing you get stuffed again on Saturday.
Jonty at 10:24:48 Wednesday October 31 2001
What happened to the remark last week by Broadhurst regarding "being close to signing the right man"? We definately need a big target man upfront who can supply Jamie with some flick on's like we used to have when Howard was part of the setup!
A Childs View at 10:8:58 Wednesday October 31 2001
There ya go DR4E - is that optimistic enough for you?
A Childs View at 10:6:12 Wednesday October 31 2001
DR4E - XXXX off!!! Supporting doesn't mean blindly saying a performance was great when it was, as the entries below state, an absolute disgrace. No single Cobblers player (apart from Welch and Asamoah) contributed anything by way of desire or ability. Where was Broadhurst in the 1st half? A serious kick up the arse was warranted and nothing came from the bench. We were shocking right from the off!! Personally I'd have had Gabbiadini off within 20 minutes - there is simply no justification in picking up your wages and turning out the dross he served up last night. Its about pride - he showed none whatsoever. The club needs running as a meritocracy and I'd rather see us lose with inexperienced players than have Gabbi insult every fan at Sixfields with that type of performance. Some strong messages need to be got through to the squad. We fans make the effort in addition to our jobs, these guys are professionals and owe us an apology for last night. I feel the board should make a gesture - anyone retaining their ticket stub from last night's match gets a free ticket to any home game in next year's competition. As for Sam Parkin - I'll bet Jimmy-Floyd must be quaking in his boots!! If it is possible to cancel his loan it should be done immediately. He is not the player to help us survive this season. I'm very fearful for Saturday - play like last night and we'll get hammered - again! My hope for the season is that we revert to a 532 formation, both home and away. I'd have Welch, Sammo, Hope and Burgess, with Marsh and Spedding as wingbacks. Midfield needs to be Hunt deep, Hargreaves and McGregor. Put Jamie up front with a decent target man - this acquisition is simply a must, without it we'll go down. Parkin - WHY DON'T YOU JUST SOD OFF?? Do the decent thing and save us the money we are paying you. How can you justify your total lack effort last night?? I've had a bit of a rant here but watching the Cobblers is so bloody fustrating! You think your seeing progress and then you have to endure a performance like last night!! I can take teams having a bad night or not containing great players, but the lack of effort last night was unacceptable. The only way they can redeem themselves is by, as the entry below stated, putting in 5000% more effort on Saturday. I'll be there, but I wouldn't blame anyone for doing something else with their Saturday.
DR4E at 10:5:34 Wednesday October 31 2001
Because Frain is old and rubbish like a lot of your players.
DR4E at 10:3:46 Wednesday October 31 2001
You really must have been sooooo crap, even A Childs View hasn't come on with a misleadingly optimistic match report.
John Frain - Why? at 10:2:14 Wednesday October 31 2001
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT JOHN FRAIN DOES TO WARRANT WALKING STRAIGHT BACK INTO THE FIRST TEAM AFTER INJURY, TAKE BACK THE CAPTAINS ARM BAND, BE GIVEN FREE KICK AND CORNER KICK DUTIES AND, WELL BASICALLY WHY???? HE IS FIVE YARDS OFF THE PACE, RARELY DOES HIS FREE KICKS REACH A COBBLERS PLAYER OR TROUBLE THE KEEPER, SAME WITH HIS CORNERS.
Anon at 9:51:14 Wednesday October 31 2001
Putting our reserves into the Maunsell Cup???? Have we got any? It'll be Ru$hden re$erves v Northampton Town!!!
DR4E - FTC at 8:31:43 Wednesday October 31 2001
Ho ho ho. I thouhgt you supported your team through thick and thin, looks to me like a few of you are having second thoughts. Typical.
FTD at 5:11:43 Wednesday October 31 2001
The Barnet game was unacceptable,lack of skill you can understand but lack of application from professional footballers is disgusting.Hunt,Mcgregor,Frain,Gabbiadini,Hodge and Parkin need to look at themselves immediately!Mr.Stonhill you have to release funds TODAY to pay the wages of at least THREE new players who will compete.
The Laughing boy of East Northants. at 0:13:26 Wednesday October 31 2001
After that result and performance there are lots of things I could say, but I'm not going to,instead I'm just going to sit down and have a bloody good laugh.
Absolute disgrace at 23:15:3 Tuesday October 30 2001
Welch: 7 very quiet night - could do nothing about the deflected goal. Hope:0 - Appalling. Burgess: 0 - Almost as appaling. Marsh: 0 - short hospital balls again, contriving to turn attack into defence. Spedding: 5 - At least made an effort at times. Hunt: 0 - clueless and not interested. MacGregor: 0 - might as well have lashed out at Hunt again. Frain: 1 - Why this guy is thought to have captaincy qualities I will never know. Hargreaves: 2 - only woke up with 15 minutes to go. Parkin: 0 - weak in the air, weak on the ground, why the hell doesn't he ever shoot? Gabbiadini: 0 - smart flick-on's go to the opposition, always wants to dribble the ball over the line and, like Parkin, why doesn't he ever shoot? Subs: Asamoah: 1 - ran around a lot and achieved nothing. Hodge: 0 - I think it was all said at the Huddersfield game. And I am a season ticket holder and away match supporter, I am truly depressed after tonight. The team were awful and it looked like the beginning of the end. I feel cheated out of the tenner entrance fee (let alone the additional costs of travel) and I expect to see a 5,000% improvement on Saturday else we will be given a right drubbing. I hope the players are ashamed of themselves and I hope that Kevan is feeling embarrassed about his 'Millenium Stadium' final comments. Thankyou and goodnight
Anon at 22:34:28 Tuesday October 30 2001
I vote that we just ignore that Doctor Four Eyes or whatever he's called. Oh shit I've just gone against my own message by acknowledging him.... erm you'd all better ignore this message as well.
Old Stratford Cobbler at 22:21:39 Tuesday October 30 2001
What an absolute pile of shite tonight.Barnet were the more superior team in EVERY department.I think we had one shot on target the whole night.After booing the Cobblers off,the West stand applauded Barnet's performance.The entire team were abysmal except for Asamoah and Welch.Not only am I the virus,I am also the jinx.Not seen the Cobblers win all season.And DR4E,I think Rushden are dogshit.

Jonty at 21:51:54 Tuesday October 30 2001
Isn't it just great. Wasted the whole evening listening to the commentry again only to end up dissapointed as per usual. I think i'll give the midweek fixtures a miss in the future. Good luck to Barnet, they sounded the better team!
Rodders at 21:51:14 Tuesday October 30 2001
We are a real football club and you are the Dr Martens works team.
DR4E at 21:38:22 Tuesday October 30 2001
Well at least you can now concentrate on the league and the Maunsell cup!
DR4E at 21:37:3 Tuesday October 30 2001
Thanks for the admission Rodders, maybe you are not such a plonker after all. We are the Diamonds and you are the dire ones.
Rodney at 21:36:8 Tuesday October 30 2001
Tonight's result really is a dire one, particularly bearing in mind the fairly strong side put out. Perhaps KB should not have talked about his desire to reach Cardiff.
DR4E at 21:34:31 Tuesday October 30 2001
I think a merger between the wobblers and Wimbledon is more likely, the new club being appropriately called "The Wobblers of Wimbledon".
DR4E at 21:33:11 Tuesday October 30 2001
VIRUS ALERT! Wobblers losing AGAIN, oh deary me. You're not very good are you?
gEDGIE aka Old stratford wobbler at 20:11:39 Tuesday October 30 2001
YOU are the virus!!
Sean from London at 19:48:21 Tuesday October 30 2001
Listening to the web commentary for the first time - very good quality.
Now for some goals!!
Old Stratford Cobbler at 18:28:31 Tuesday October 30 2001
My computer has recently had a virus and I still think there is one there.Does anybody know how to get rid of this virus known as DR4E? It keeps cropping up with alarming regularity unfortunately.Nice to see Dustbin and Liners are starting a youth academy in Milton Keynes- maybe they'll merge with Wimbledon as the Wombles will need to put their rubbish somewhere.
Never can understand it at 18:20:12 Tuesday October 30 2001
when someone who supports another " team" feel that they have to go on to another teams site, it just proves that the person in question has something wrong with them, is juvenile and hasnt got a life -spending all this time trying to impress people on this site with a load of nonsense, go and spend your energy supporting your team; your not even entertaining
Rodders at 17:54:56 Tuesday October 30 2001
All right, I admit that the last posting was mine, but it's probably true. Let's face it, six years ago he must have been supporting someone else, mustn't he.
DR4E at 17:52:49 Tuesday October 30 2001
Yes, I admit it. I am an exCobblers fan. In fact, if Diamonds don't go up I may change allegiance again.
DR4E at 16:30:19 Tuesday October 30 2001
oh dear, wrong again. Getting nervous at the thought of relegation?
DR4E is really posh scum at 15:10:11 Tuesday October 30 2001
fuck off you wanker
DR4E at 14:27:23 Tuesday October 30 2001
Oh my....what a great goal difference you have! -15! Look at those games in hand that Wigan and Bury have over you. Don't fool yourself, you are relegation fodder!! FTC!!!
DR4E at 14:22:3 Tuesday October 30 2001
Only seven points! Look at it that way and you could also say the wobblers are only a season away from the Conference! There is no point in wishing the Diamonds back into the Conference because deep down you know it won't happen. Save you prayers for the sorry wobblers, you know already that you are in deep trouble and don't look like getting out of it in a hurry. FTC
Mal at 13:40:10 Tuesday October 30 2001
DR4E, Looking at the league tables you may at first glance look as if you are in a good position, but don't forget you are only seven points away from the Conference. A lot can happen yet its still only October. UTC. FTP.FTD
DR4E at 13:35:31 Tuesday October 30 2001
Double shame Mal, you have been watching the wobblers for over 40 years and you live in Milton Keynes.
DR4E at 13:34:17 Tuesday October 30 2001
I suppose on reflection that being near the bottom of the Second Division is not bad for a Northants council team. What a waste of tzxpayers money though.
DR4E at 13:29:1 Tuesday October 30 2001
The only dire ones who are getting relegated this season are the wobblers.
Mal at 13:28:41 Tuesday October 30 2001
DR4E you obviously don't rate the apology for a team you are supposed to support, if you say that it is the only cup the Cobblers have a chance of winning this season. Incidently who are you playing in the LDV Trophy tonight?
Mal at 13:14:34 Tuesday October 30 2001
Thanks Anorak for the explanation. It will probably go back to all the non-leaguers playing either Cobbs or Pish in alternate finals.
Anorak at 11:52:57 Tuesday October 30 2001
The Maunsell Cup used to be known as the Northamptonshire FA Senior Cup, the senior professional sides, Cobblers & Pish (pish were and still are - i believe - affiliated to Northants FA) used to enter it at the 1/4 or semi final stage I think, but it got devalued in the 70's & 80's when Cobbs & Pish played weakened sides, so then the two cups were separated - and the Northants Senior Cup was competed for by clubs like Kettering, Rothwell, Raunds, Rushden Town, Irthlingborough Diamonds, etc and the winners met either Cobbs or Pish on alternate years in a pre-season fixture. Now the Northants Senior Cup winners (Kettering) join a mini tournament with the three League clubs - dunno how they'll revamp it again after Direones get relegated though.
DR4E at 11:45:47 Tuesday October 30 2001
The Maunsell Cup could be the last meeting between our clubs for a while, since you are clearly going down and on current form we are heading for the play-offs.
DR4E at 11:2:55 Tuesday October 30 2001
The Maunsell Cup is the only chance the wobblers have of winning anything this season.
Mal at 10:17:16 Tuesday October 30 2001
Can anyone tell me what this Maunsell Cup is all about? Is it just a Northamptonshire thing? Coming from Milton Keynes I have never heard of it before, even though I have been watching the Cobblers for more than forty years. I assume it is a local cup which we normally put the reserves in to, it doesn't matter who wins and the last thing we want is any injuries!
DR4E at 9:33:27 Tuesday October 30 2001
Thank you and goodnight!
DR4E at 9:33:1 Tuesday October 30 2001
A Childs View - if having a shower is the highlight of your day may I suggest that you find something more interesting in life to do?
DR4E at 9:30:50 Tuesday October 30 2001
Rod Jane and Freddy is probably more at your level to be honest, almost as entertaining as the feeble efforts of Marco, Jamie and Sam.
DR4E at 9:27:2 Tuesday October 30 2001
Well done Rodders on your superior intellect, although frankly I have no idea how having Batson, Cunningham and Regis is going to help you teach your subject, unless you are just a PE teacher. You might as well have Rod, Jane and Freddy for all I care.
Just a thought at 9:11:33 Tuesday October 30 2001
instead of rising to DR4E's moronic postings, and his obviously successful attempts at winding us up - ignore the little twat - then hopefully he'll go back and play on the A6
Going down to division 3 at 23:57:14 Monday October 29 2001
WOW
DR4E at 23:53:47 Monday October 29 2001
Were not so thick, but you are.
DR4E at 23:52:8 Monday October 29 2001
Didn't think I needed to Rodders, because I assumed you we not so thick. but I was wrong.
Unbeaten in Division3!! at 22:41:52 Monday October 29 2001
Wow!!!
Rodders at 21:59:23 Monday October 29 2001
Unfortunately DR4E you weren't clever enough to put LEAGUE games on your earlier offering. Check it out! I've got three degrees in the subject I teach. Now that doesn't necessarily mean I'm clever, but it probably adds up to the entire educational capacity of Irthlingborough. Perhaps I'm overestimating that capacity, on second thoughts.
DR4E at 20:16:29 Monday October 29 2001
Aren't you clever enough Rodders to work out that, unbeaten in 9 league games means exactly that.
A Childs View at 19:53:32 Monday October 29 2001
What's wrong with being a woman? Shower times are great - I'll bet Mr Fact wishes he was one!!!
Chris at 19:29:17 Monday October 29 2001
What is to be gained by playing this stupid Maunsell Cup competition right in the middle of a heavy fixture period? Is it worth the injury risks to both sides? I won't be wasting my hard earned cash on this Mickey Mouse competition as both sides will be fielding reserve teams (if they have any sense).
MR FACT at 19:2:42 Monday October 29 2001
DR4E..you really are a sad, pathetic and repugnant little individual.
I know who you are and when I see you I'm gonna glass you.
As for you Childs view, well, your a woman and you don't count. Leave football alone.
FTD at 18:19:54 Monday October 29 2001
DR4E-Will mummy let you out from hiding behind your keyboard, on Nov 6th.The Bull first and the tickets are already bought for your home???terrace.Don't forget to put your pampers on before leaving home on your tricycle!!
Rodders at 17:50:38 Monday October 29 2001
DR4E you are not unbeaten in nine games. It is only two weeks ago that you lost 1-7 to Cardiff reserves!

A Childs View at 15:40:50 Monday October 29 2001
DR4E. Thanks for some sensible contributions - its always nice to get some different perspectives. Your celebration of how crap it must be to be a Cobblers fan is quite funny actually.
DR4E at 15:28:20 Monday October 29 2001
I still think you would be better off booing the incredible sulk, Gabbiadini.
DR4E at 15:27:51 Monday October 29 2001
I've always enjoyed booing Frain at the few times that I've been to see the wobblers play, I always found others around me would join in as well.
marco at 15:24:24 Monday October 29 2001
have to disagree pattcobb. frain had one of his better games and I've never booed him but he is still too slow and lacks the composure on the ball to play in central midfield. Hargreaves or Hunter are far better in that position.

Andy at 11:29:34 Monday October 29 2001
Each time Terry Fleming has moved club it has been on a free transfer - says quite a lot?
PATTCOBB at 11:14:38 Monday October 29 2001
I see no-one on this site has mentioned the fact that Frain had his best game of the season on Saturday - pick of the midfield. Could it be the typical Cobblers boo boys trait of having made your mind up about him a player then has no chance to prove otherwise whether his performance are good or bad. The game itself saw a typical John Beck performance with his 6 footers trying to bully their way to victory. Poor old Dempsey at times looked scared to death of Colin Alcide.
THE BIG QUESTION???????????????????????????????
How on earth has Terry Fleming managed a 10 year career as a professional footballer??????
DR4E at 10:54:0 Monday October 29 2001
Well, we're nine games unbeaten now and in fine form. Bring on the wobblers in the Maunsell Cup!

A Childs View at 22:56:28 Sunday October 28 2001
Blimey - it was only a joke!! I don't know what the dictionary definition of 'sabbatical' is because I didn't look it up, but, in every day usage it means a substantial break from one's normal occupation to undertake another task, for example academics taking a 'sabbatical' to do their own research for a year. DR4E's comment made sense in this context, I was just having a laugh - we all use words incorrectly from time to time and it can be funny. Mr Fact - you've shown yourself up, I'll bet you had to go and get that definition out of the dictionary didn't you? Its not what people commonly mean when they use the word. Looking forward to the Barnet game and progressing through to the next round. Its great to be a woman!!

Anon at 22:8:29 Sunday October 28 2001
Frain - put him on the list. he probably can still do a good job in Div 3 or the Conference. Even if he went on a free, at least it cuts the wage bill. His contribution yesterday amount to one completed pass albeit a good one out to McGrgegor on the wing. Though Marsh was very poor yesterday, he watched his man instead of the ball for the first and was slow to react to loss of possession for the third. Don't think playing on the left helped.

Sabbatical is a pub near Plymouth, near my holiday home. It is called 'The Bishops Sabbatical'. This would tie in nicely with Mr Facts retort to the 2 imbeciles, CHILDS VIEW and DR4E (cretinous miscreant). Well done Mr Fact and keep it up.
MR FACT at 21:43:56 Sunday October 28 2001
I would like to pont out to CHILDS VIEW and the penis called DR4E that a sabbatical is a religious retreat, or a break away fom ecclesiatical nourishment. You both have the vocabulary and the spelling incompetence of that colonial buffoon, Ritchie from NZ.
You have used the word sabbatical in the wrong way, proving that it is time for both of you to go back to school.
As for you CHILDS VIEW, you are a woman and should not be on this site. Women at football..IT'S OVER!

FTD. When you 'ship the likes of Frain and Hodge' out of a club, how do you do it? Large packing crates to exotic destinations? Get the 'boys' to put the frighteners on them so they leave Town? If this managing job is so easy, why don't more people do it?
A Childs View at 18:31:50 Sunday October 28 2001
Just catching up on the last few days posts, been away for a bit. Good comments from Steve, however, the highlight has to be DR4E's 'mental cebaticle!!!!!' Did I laugh!!!! If you can find that spelling of the word you mean in a dictionary I'll give up the Cobblers and start coming to Direone's games!! Ha Ha, it must be true, people from 'that side of town' could do with a little more schooling!!! I've got to go now, my sides are hurting! Cebaticle!!! Ha ha ha!!!

Chris at 11:23:59 Sunday October 28 2001
Good day-out yesterday, and,whilst both penalties were deserved, I was amazed that the ref. had the bottle to award a second to an away side, particularly as his performance was erratic to say the least. We could use someone with the size of ONE up-front as he always looked dangerous when on the ball. We were let-down by the defending yesterday, Hope only managing to suss-out the atttack with 10 minutes to go - and Frainy's pace is now becoming a problem....how long until Duncan is fit (and Hunter for that matter - is his injury a recurrence of the old one)?

I agree Gabbi is lazy and if I was playing I'd be pissed off with him complaining all the while and speaking to other players as if they were a piece of shit, but he does create goal scoring chances and gets himself into goal scoring positions someone just needs to show him where the goal is.

Steve "up the Saints" Pitts wants to take his Sh*t stirring spoon and p*ss off.

, I think that probably the point you seem to be missing is not that the current Board deserve the abuse they get but more they choose to put themselves into the position to receive it.You mention they are ordinary guys, I dont think they compare to the ordinary guys deciding whether they can afford a ticket to the Cobbs and when he does buy it get the dross displayed at Sixfields and beyond for so long.To compare those who are in a position to enjoy whatever luxuries mental or otherwise by splashing out Tax money and surplus capital to the Fan in the Stand is a joke.I think that whatever comes they should take.They enjoy the plaudits when they come, ask the Trust what they think of the current Board and the way they treat and respect them.
MK Cobbler at 9:23:58 Saturday October 27 2001
Steve - just read your comments and couldn't agree more. When a club is struggling the usual negative comments come pouring out of the woodwork. Memories are short in football (it isn't many seasons since we were about to go under) but realistically no criticism can be made of the current directors in their financial support of NTFC. The history of Northampton is that the money in the area has gone to the rugby club both from the local businessmen and industry. The Cobblers have come a very poor third behind the Saints and NCCC. It seems unlikely that this will change a complete outsider or outside consortium with the club's best interests at heart (it can happen but great caution is required)moves in with large amounts of money sufficient to buy the ground, develop it and give the manager enough money to mount a challenge for promotion. Over time a youth system producing home grown talent has to be the way forward but no real sign of this happening yet. All this is going take many millions. The best we can hope for in the immediate future is on the pitch survival in Div 2 and off the pitch financial survival/stability. Good luck to Kevan Broadhurst. He is the right man for the job and I think he can keep us in this division but he has put his finger on the problem - a lack of power and pace in the team which, with acopule of exceptions, is not exactly compensated by skill. It might be a close run thing.

Totaly agree with Steve about the board. Poeple on here accuse them of being into 'the glamour' of a director of The Cobblers. I would think that the money involoved would buy a shed load more glamour eleswhere. It's a shame that the players limitations are now being considered after Kev Wilson was sacked though.
Hotel Ender at 18:45:49 Friday October 26 2001
As far as journalists go, and I use that term very loosely in Mr Pitts case, he does, as Mr Realist says, lives up to his surname. As Andy Roberts - who is a far better football reporter than Jeremy "I mustn't upset anyone till they've gone" Casey - stated in a recent fanzine "Mr Pitts excelled himself when he fashioned a disgraceful piece of journalism against Tony Clarke MP". Mr Pitts had to hide under the name of Colin James in that article. Clearly Pitts has an anti Cobbler agenda and perhaps e-mails and letters should be directed to the Chron to express displeasure.
Mr Realist at 17:55:38 Friday October 26 2001
Steve.
At last a man talking with a lot of common sense, which is a lot more than can be said about the article from the so called Sports reporter Steve Pitts( his surname sums him up a treat )from the Chron. He has used every angle he can to have a go at the Club , he writes as if every thing is going great in the Saints Camp,( suggest you look at the Saints position in the Table )That everything is brilliant at Nene Park, ( How many players have they shipped out in the last few weeks ) His article smacks at having a go at a Football Club that does not have the luxury of two multi-millionaires making things easy for them , i suggest that our football Club has achieved more in REAL terms than the both of them put together.

Steve I've never understood the phrase 'sack the board' after all who would do the sacking? I do feel that the Board do get a bit of unfair treatment sometimes and I believe they are doing the best they can. Of course if no-one does come forward to buy the club we may well see the board use this as an excuse to cut costs in the future. How about this for a bit of wild speculation - If Sullivan does come in (unlikely) will we see his good mate Atkins back as Director of Football?....and Deepcut the Wycombe game is on the Tuesday after the Cup game - hopefully it wont be an early opportunity to 'concentrate on the league'.
Paul S at 13:2:19 Friday October 26 2001
Doh! Sullivan I think Claudette was making a joke.........Rodders - really hope Brett Angell joins us he has all those qulities we miss in a forward (inches and attitude)..........Steve - couldn't agree more, sick of seeing the directors slagged off for the sake of it. Sure disagree with a decision and suggest areas of improvement, but what good does it serve to slag them off for the sake of it
Rodders at 12:27:25 Friday October 26 2001
Andy Todd is due to team up with his dad at Derby, so I can't see him coming here. Brett Angel is a more likely option.
Sullivan at 12:23:24 Friday October 26 2001
Claudette, in Sullivan's business, he would definately welcome you with open legs.

Andy Todd, yes the Andy Todd previously transfer listed by Charlton Athletic after a training pitch bust up with keeper Mark Kiely is being chased by Northampton Town as a season long loan signing with a view to a permanent move in the summer
Steve at 11:50:3 Friday October 26 2001
Just a couple of points. Good decision (though not a difficult one)by the board to appoint Kevan Broadhurst on a permanent basis. He knows the club better than most and appears, for the moment at least, to be able to get the players to play close to the peak of their limited abilities. Other big names mentioned previously have no track record of working on a shoestring with limited talent. Kev will do as well or better than anyone else. Good luck to him. Another point - the Directors. It staggers me how people love to have a pop at them. I have seen them described as idiots, numbskulls, lacking in ambition, etc etc etc. This is all such patent nonsense. What people have to realise is that to get long-term success, a football club doesn't require directors with brains or ambition. Although these qualities can play a part, more than anything, it requires MONEY; not just a couple of hundred thousand, but bucket loads of the stuff. The current Cobblers' Directors are local businessmen who love football, love the Cobblers and love being involved with the Cobblers. Like many of us, they're a bit nutty and haven't got their priorities quite right. Yes - we all know that if you've got 150k to spare, it would be a jolly good thing to give it to a third world charity, but we're not all like that. Some people are daft enough about their local club to have crack at helping it along. They know for certain they'll probably never see their dosh again, but it's a risk that they're prepared to take. In return they get some excitement and, more than anything a sense of involvement and belonging. There's no harm in this. However, to accuse these ordinary guys as lacking in ambition is, to be honest, simply stupid. A fan since the early sixties, I've only expected one thing from players and directors alike. Ambition and effort. With those two qualities and a modicum of luck, we'll get our share of promotions, relegations, play-offs, cup runs, cock-ups, penalty shoot-outs all wrapped off with a dose of unforgettable goals. Now - I ask no for no more than that. How about you?
Claudette at 9:55:25 Friday October 26 2001
Heard Sullivan on the radio last night saying he would be looking for another club to be involved with when he's shot of Birmingham. I cannot understand the fuss about him being the 'Porn King'. If he would be prepared to put money into us I would welcome him with open legs, no I mean arms, arms, arms -(sorry Freudian slip)!!

Looking at the effect a bad manager can have on a club, see David Sullivan's comments on Trevor Francis - "When Trevor Francis arrived our wages were 60 per cent of the turnover, they are now 90 per cent. We are haemorrhaging money at a rate of £100,000 a week and the club is in a mess financially." I wonder if Stonhill is thinking about Wilson along similar lines?
Middleton Cheney Cobbler at 22:25:47 Wednesday October 24 2001
What a shame! You may have heard on the tannoy last night about Middleton Cheney Under 9's and under 10's who were at the game last night (we brought a party of 50 kids and parents). If only it had been the Tranmere game we might have converted some to be new supporters - but it wasn't to be. By the way, I think Welch is excellent BUT even my 9 year old (birthday today!) who is goalie for MC under 9's thought that Welchy should have intercepted the cross for the third goal before it reached the head of the attacker.
A Childs View at 19:18:52 Wednesday October 24 2001
Some very good comments on here about last night's game. Put simply, Huddersfield looked different class and nothing we could have done would have changed the outcome of the game. They were better in every department, apart from their keeper who barely had anything to do!! I still don't think he'd be better than Welchy though - even if we had forced a few saves!! Starting with Hodge is a no no - last 20 minutes he can make a difference, but he's just not up to starting! I also disagreed with taking Parkin off, he wasn't winning much, but, what little we did win in the air usually started with him. I'm losing faith with Gabbi, I've been his biggest fan but he didn't show last night! I hope the boys just write yesterday off and don't lose confidence. We played an able, and previously wounded, side on a night when they just clicked. Put it behind you and grind a result on Saturday. Come on the Town!!

Not much Broadhurst could do last night, we had nobody, to play centre midfield so Hargreaves had to play there. This meant we had Hargreaves out of position, McGreagor out of position and we also had to play Hodge, who was shocking last night. Once we have Hunter and Hunt back in centre midfield and Hargreaves left midfield and McGregor right midfield we will have a decent midfield. We need another top centre midfield player though as Hunter and Hunt will get injured and suspended, shame we couldn;t keep Evatt. At the back we look solid and Marsh looks very good on the ball. We need a big target man up front who can also score goals as Parkin isn't up to it, how about Andy Booth, I heard he is quite good. Here is how our first tema should be. From left to right in 4-4-2 formation.
Welch, Spedding, Burgess, Sammo, Marsh, Hargreaves, Hunter, Hunt, McGregor, Forrester, Parkin. Subs. Hodge, Sollitt, Frain, Hope, Asamoah.
I think this would be solid enough but we may need another centre midfield to replace Hunter until fully fit, and we definetly need a top class centre forward to replace Parkin. We should get rid of Hodge and Gabbiadini, both well past there best and overpaid (both on 3,000+ per week), this would free up the best part of 30k a month for either new signings, extra wages for loan players just to save this money for a rainy day, I am sure we need it.
Overall, with a fully fit squad we should do OK, this season, ie same position as last year. Then next year a big reshuffle, shipping out the big wage earners and using this money wisely.
Ralph2 at 10:2:1 Wednesday October 24 2001
Oh dear HE.Thank heavens for illness.
Hotel Ender at 9:52:55 Wednesday October 24 2001
Well... we certainly came second last night. For the first 20 minutes or so we looked quite bright and competed. Then they discovered that we had no defence on our right hand side and off they went. Hodge is no starter, his best position is on the bench until the opposition are knackered and he can get to the bye line. Then we get some crosses in. But tackling back - I think not!! Marsh gives me coronaries every time the ball goes near him and Burgess and Hope must be the worst pair off centre backs in the division, if not the league. Compared to Burgess, Greeney looked like Carl Lewis. I appreciate that Sammo is injured, bnut these two play 90 minutes every game- no competition to stir them up, and basically they arepoor defenders, which is why we have the worst goals against in the league. Parkin will never score if their keeper gets back on the bus, and his general play is static at best. Gabbi's head goes down as soon as things get tough - not a good role model for up and coming young professionals. If Broadhurst stays, and I for one hope he doesn't, he has got to get off his backside and go and look for talent to replace some of these muppets that I and 5000 others turn up every week to support
PATTCOBB at 8:51:1 Wednesday October 24 2001
Not Kevan's fault last night according to Radio Northampton interview he set out a game plan ( which would sem to be why all of a sudden Hodge appeared) and the players did not carry it out.
This sounds like the legacy of the ill diciplined days of Wilson, I think Kevan will have his work cut out trying to get the best out of some players. By the way Hodge's performance was awful this is a man who sits in the bench for long periods, all he gets is a kick about and a laugh at half time bemoaning the fact that he never gets a first team chance and then when he does he is garbage. Best run he did all night was when he jogged off and down the tunnel perhaps he should keep going...... Finally what news of Hunter am I the only one worried about his latest injury, thought he looked good on his latest comeback best of luck to him.........
Wazzock at 8:37:30 Wednesday October 24 2001
Excellent posts (last 3). I think you should find a football site to put them on though. The idiots on here are only after 'fun' and not boring football.
Steve at 8:17:22 Wednesday October 24 2001
A depressing night (partly because I worked out that the last time I saw us win was 2-1 against Swansea last season - 2 goals in the last 2 minutes). It was really a graphic illustration of the power of money in football. Generally, there was no lack of effort, but the basic abilities just ain't there, such as the first touch, passing and movement. This season I've seen Bristol City, Blackpool and Huddersfield at home, P*******h away. Each game has left me with the same impression. One of the biggest disappointments for me was Parkin. I can't believe he's from a premiershiop club, or that he scored 9 goals in 13 games at our level last season. He's big but barely won a single header. His feet hardly left the ground. I think it must be his judgement of a high ball that's awry. It was as though he was jumping 'under' the ball all the time. He will surely finish up, at best in the Conference. Gabbi was pretty dreadful too. Forever falling over and complaining. There is class about him and every game, there are some moments of high skill. Maybe there's just something about our style of play that's not right for him. Jamie looked bright and made some lovely turns (not easy on such a wet surface), but the man he replaced, Hodge was hopeless - just totally out of it. It was hios dwelling on the ball near the edge of our area that led to the second goal. We should save a wage and off-load him. I thought the defence was generally O.K, although I don't know who was supposed to be marking Booth for the third goal. Frain was solid (something I wouldn't thought I'd be saying again). Marsh was bright and strong. He made one or two errors, but who cares, along as the spirit is there. Welch was great and Carruthers looked OK too. Shame his cracking shot didn't lead to a goal. Altogether a depressing evening which emphasised the gulf between us an the top half of our league. Broadhurst should stay. No-one will do better with our lads. I'm afraid the only thing we lack is (you guessed it) - dosh.
FTD at 6:41:54 Wednesday October 24 2001
Hands up Huddersfield were simply the best side we have played this season.I hope Hodge doesn't start another game this season.We desperately need a strong target man to hold the ball up!
Chris at 23:29:58 Tuesday October 23 2001
Well, we lost to a better side tonight and, assuming that Broadhurst can lift the heads for Saturday, I still feel optimistic about our chances at Cambridge. If we had taken advantage of our pressure in the first 10 minutes then things might have been different and we did create a number of chances (unlike the abject surrender under Wilson). I think that Huddersfield will be in the automatic promo positions at the end. See you all in the Uni-City.

the real richie fan from nz at 22:4:41 Tuesday October 23 2001
my point on do they play squash at sixfields was, if they had a gym or the space for squash courts they could rent it out and it would be more revenue for the cobblers.even if sixfields had a full house every game the cobbers are not going to make much of a profit and in turn they are not going to be able to afford to buy decent players.

The board, manager and players have lost the plot. Bring back Atkins -remember what the results under him were like, we used to win on a regular basis!!! I think we should applaud his achievements - I want to see his passionate football at NTFC again. Also, swapping Jamie for Howard!! That would be the most ridiculous piece of business I can possibly imagine - hang on, that probably means it'll happen!!!! Jamie hasn't become crap - he is now playing in a struggling team after having lost an effective big man that he needs to play off. A better solution would be to send Parkin back and get someone who can the job Howard used to. We'd see Jamie come back to form, his value rise and we'd get more dough for him - it seems a sale is inevitable at some point so I'm trying to get used to it already!! Big-man little-man strike partnerships are the most prevalent in the football league so why have we got 3 midget strikers and someone who simply can't win anything in the air?? Oh well - another game to look forward to, I'm glad I've got to work actually!!

I heartily agree with Adam from Leicester. This site is meant to be a bit of light-hearted banter between Cobblers fans not an intellectual discussion on Stephen Hawkins and Melvin Bragg. Let's keep it up. However I am not amusing by Ritchie from New Zealand so may I suggest he be banished to a country full of sheep shaggers and never allowed to set foot here again. Oops that's what has happend already.

DEDICATED COBBLER at 20:28:53 Monday October 22 2001
sorry liberated cobbler but now cardiff have sacked atkins they have no chance of going up this year. Cork is no manager and even if he can buy the best players he won't make a good team out of them. I doubt whether he will still be manager at the end of the season and by the time he is sacked it will be too late to salvage the season. Look how last year's team (now Cardiff reserves) beat the direones 7-1 in the cup and put your first team players to shame. It's a team game you see? Good managers make good teams.

There seems to be a call from many to stop the drivel. I think this would be totally wrong. I love reading the stupid remarks and to be honest I find them more entertaining than the orthodox cobblers chat.
I would never 'swallow the bullshit' and want to go into other cobblers chat rooms because this is the best. We are all Cobblers fans here. Those who don't want the silly side..then log off. If you don't want a cheeseburger then don't go to McDonalds!!!!

Richard at 15:2:7 Monday October 22 2001
I hope it is Broadhurst, although it would be strange as they have always said they would leave it until the end of the month before making a decicion. We still have some big games coming up before the end of the month, so it might be best if we wait, unless he had applied for another job.
Ray, any news on the tipping table being updated?

Well it has now gone 2.30pm and still no announcement
TWSP at 14:29:59 Monday October 22 2001
Collymore for Sixfields, not anymore. An article on Teamtalk states that "Northampton have confirmed that they are not interested in signing Stan Collymore after Kevin Wilson reveale that he tried to coax him out of retirement. Northampton offered him the chance to play in division 2. Wilson revealed over the weekend that he had had talks with the 30 year olds agent when he was at Sixfields. But the Cobblers have confirmed today that Kevan Broadhurst would not be pursuing the interest." That was a lucky escape.
Anon at 13:28:8 Monday October 22 2001
There will be a major announcement regarding Northampton Town Football Club exclusively on the official web site at around 2.30pm this afternoon.
billy at 13:22:58 Monday October 22 2001
Childs View is right, Broadhurst hasnt been given the managers job until the end of the season (yet). At first I was sceptical about him being the right man for the job - but so far I'm happy to say he has proved me wrong and I'd be pleased to see him stay for the rest of the season. Also I dont think we need a big name manager, I'd rather see what money we have going into strengthening the playing staff.
NTFC@2view at 13:11:41 Monday October 22 2001
Of course my idea would make cc1 and cc3 exactly the same. What a great idea.

How difficult would it be to have people 'sign in' after registering a name, password and e-mail address? It would cut down on the imposters and some of the excess stupidity.

The note below isn't true - there's nothing on the official site! I've just checked out Hddersfield's form - over the the last 4 games they've had 1 draw and 3 defeats! Sounds like we're the form team going into tomorrow's match!! In truth, names don't mean anything - Huddersfield got relegated for a reason after all!!

NTFC at 12:39:18 Monday October 22 2001
Northampton Town have today confirmed the appointment of Kevan Broadhurst as Manager for the rest of the season. His appointment has reflected the club's desire to try and reach some sort of stability following the recent upturn in results. He will be assisted by Mark Kearney (current reserve team boss) and Martin Wilkinson (Chief Scout). Chairman Barry Stonhill said, "Kevan has proved his worth in recent performances and the players are behind him. A number of supporters have made their feelings known that they wanted to see Kevan appointed permanently." 41 year old Broadhurst was with Birmingham City as a player, making over 150 appearances for the Blues and was their youngest ever captain, before injury cut short his career.

I don't think richie is as much a victim here as he makes out. His language and grammar are a giveaway and was he not banned from cc2 for pretending to be Ray? As much as I would like to see this board remain open to all it seems obvious that all the problems revolve around one character and his imposter(s).
richie please leave cc1 alone at 11:28:46 Monday October 22 2001
Please Richie, leave us and your poor knowledge of the game in New Zealand. Get yourself some scissors and cut the modem link. You are a very, very scary man. If I were you I would only come on this site on halloween because you sure scare the shit out of me. Richie, you don't even understand the difference between the league and cup competitions. I don't care if you used to play for the cobblers...LEAVE THIS SITE!
What the ....? at 11:25:51 Monday October 22 2001
You've used the blue pencil but all richie postings are still here?? Someone is missing the point here. How about richie's classic "what is sixfields like, can you play squash there?" Is that not drivel? So there is no swearing in it, that does not mean it is pointless crap.
A Childs View at 11:18:53 Monday October 22 2001
Ray - a single board is what we want but the silly postings are getting to much. I'd be happy for you to use editorial discretion and, for repeat offenders, simply delete their stuff off. The odd bit doesn't matter - its just those who clog it up with multiple postings. I want sensible Cobblers chat and a bit of a laugh. I also want other teams fans coming on provided that they make sensible comments about the game, their team, views on the Cobblers etc. Is there any way to stop people using the names of others? I've just read comments from some of my stuff that is months old!! Somebody has re-hashed it into an up to date posting - why bother doing that, it wasn't that interesting first time round? One board, but an editorially controlled board Ray - a form of benign dictatorship if you like!! Looking forward to tomorrow - should be a tough test but we also seem to rise well to those occasions. A big well done to Broads - what a turnaround he is engineering! His comments on the official site are very sensible and measured - he certainly talks a good game and seems to have the respect from the players that Wilson lost. In caretaker's comments he writes a very funny ditty about Keith Welch's ice cool dribbling abilities! Its worth a read.

Ray, personally I'd prefer option 1 and at the same time stop operating the "exclusive" boards which tend to syphon off many worthwhile comments. Any open board will inevitably be visited by a few idiots but they are easily ignored and soon get fed up and go away.

Illinois Cobbler at 3:9:5 Monday October 22 2001
Ray - some of the comments on here have reached the point where you've got to wonder at the mentality of the poster. The post at 21:28:8 is so obviously false and obscene bearing in mind youngsters do read these pages. I can fully understand why CC3 - wherever that is - has been necessary and if user registration is the only the way to exclude these idiots then so be it. BTW, we were superb at QPR, I especially thought Hope was outstanding and won everything in the air. I missed the first 2 minutes - any idea if it is still possible to view a webcam of the highlights anywhere? Have to miss Huddersfield but will be back for Cambridge, so good luck on Tuesday. I've seen the future and it's truly Claret and Broadhurst.
Pablo at 1:39:22 Monday October 22 2001
Just got back from an enjoyable London weekend, part spent at Loftus Road: organisation, professionalism and self-belief on display. Particularly good to see several of the newer players looking better all the time: notably Paul McGregor (good vision, penetration), Chris Marsh and Darryl Burgess (both looked ultra-solid and contributed some fine tackles) and even Sam Parkin (does not appear to be a natural goalscorer but holds the ball up well and plays it off intelligently). Second good thing to see was Chris Hargreaves centre-midfield - he has the right combination of passing ability, pace, tough tackling and commitment to be a success there - and Carruthers is a useful find on the left. Short of something disastrous happening in the next few months (mass injuries, poor managerial appointment etc) relegation is just not going to be on the cards, I feel.

I wont be applying to join cc3. The rubbish you get on this board doesn't bother me at all. Just scroll by and it's gone forever. Some of the highlights on here have been when opposing supporters have found us. Swansea a while back is a great example. And anyway elitism in what is generally considered one of the least fashionable clubs in the league is a bit sad. Good luck to those on cc3, but I can't help thinking they will still spend most of their time on here.
Andy at 22:28:45 Sunday October 21 2001
A Childs View, Agree with the sentiments about Atkins. The trouble is that he seems to have the reputation of a lower league Harry Bassett, and to be fair he has saved (or came close to saving) more than one club, us included. I wouldn't like him back mainly because all those stupid hand signals remind me too much of Glen Hoddle, who must be the daftest manager going. Ok Tottenhan are doing all right at the moment, but when he was a player there he was generally regarded as being one sandwhich short etc. He's obviously been eating coaching manuals but that won't last (I hope)
As for poor old Richie from nz. Give him a break it usually isn't him.

Andy at 21:37:19 Sunday October 21 2001
So what do we do now about the manager? I cant say I've been to many games this season (err 2 actually), but it seems as if KB is as likely as anyone to do the job for us, that is keep us in div 2. No high profile manager will be able to work wonders without spending serious money and assuming KB isn't on a massive wage, then it's money saved to be spent on players. I say give him a contract until the end of the season and if it's going well at around December, offer him an extra season. Boring, I know but I think we could all do with a boring mid-table season for now

moaney from west at 21:26:38 Sunday October 21 2001
i still have a niggling feeling that it could be a long season after a great win yesterday i was a bit downhearted to see we were in the bottom four still.also some of the teams around us got a result and we are still two wins from a bit of comfort even with results going for us.my confidence in broads grows but i think the board will asset strip the club to make it more attractive to sell with fewer debts or loans outstanding with the offical FOR SALE sign going up i half hope jamie forrester doesnt get a run of form going.having said that at least if the worst coms to worst at least it will be a battle to the end with broads as the gaffa i no longer feel like a turkey who bought a ticket for a christmas dinner!

Rodney at 17:50:24 Sunday October 21 2001
The recent form of Paul McGregor and Sam Parkin - who was awesome first half at QPR - shows how poor Wilson's coaching must have been. KB is doing a good job. I thought Marsh, Frain and the centre backs were superb yesterday but I had memories of Reading and Brentford in the last few minutes; we must finish teams off. Why do so many Cobblers fans continue to adore Gabbi, I thought he was our worst player and his first half misses could have cost us. Yes, he did provide a lovely through ball for the goal but full marks to McG for his unselfish play.

An attempt at sensible debate at 11:39:23 Sunday October 21 2001
Having had a month to reflect on the departure of Kevin Wilson, it becomes more and more obvious that Kevan B was the man running the show and possibly this was a cause of friction between the 2 of them. I am starting to feel bitter towards Kev W because, when you look back, if he had been able to swallow his pride and work with Kev B, we would have had a respectable league finish last season (possibly even edging the play-offs) and been able to push on this season.Wilson was a good focal point for getting the higher profile players into the club, with Kev B turning the team into an efficient unit. Looking back, what could have been an excellent partnership was blown away and, as it is now, we are in deep shit with the hope of survival in Div 2 as the only realistic target. Still, Kevan has worked wonders in a month and should get due credit. Whether or not he will get the job on a full time basis is a good point for debate. I would give him the vote based on the fact that there appears to be very little managerial talent out there, we will get either a player-manager with no managerial experience or a has-been who has failed somewhere else. Both recipies for disaster, particularly if Carlton Palmer gets the job as has been mentioned in the press.Give Kev B a 12 month rolling contract like Bobby Robson has at Newcastle, then, if it all ends in tears, we don't have to pay for it for the next 2 or 3 years. Oh, and by the way, it said on the main site that Kev W was negotiating a settlement to his contract. I would suggest to him (and Russel Slade) that they should reflect on their recent contribution to the Cobblers, and offer to waive their claim to any cash (which, to be honest, they don't deserve).

It has nothing to do with agreeing or being invited on, it is free of the 'my dad's bigger than your dad' mentality that sadly has turned CC1 in to what it is today, a pale imitation of its former self. You may think the contributors are sad, fine, you make think it elitist, fine, but the inane, belicose, twatishness, bilged by you lot created the need for it.

Would the defendant, Richie, bring before the court some evidence to support your 'claim' to have played for Northampton town Football Club.
Failure to adhere to the courts request will conclude you bullshitter a dishonest shit, a total prat and a rather pathetic lonesome individual.

The difference is committment and growing confidence, the great thing is that we can only get better, my mate hadnt seen the team before and rated McGregor, and he seems to be starting to deliver the goods hope that grows, once the confidence is fully back, we wont have to camp in our half as we did at times and allow QPR to look threatening, and in terms of QPR shots I seem to remember Super Welch tipping a shot over the bar. Lets get away from the stragglers and the Terriers will be a hard test Tuesday, I never want a draw, but to be honest that would not be a bad result - shit no we will win!!!

Nice 3 points today, started like a train hit crossbar and post in 2 minutes and then scored well worked goal in 10. They looked efficient in midfield but once they got near goal we were too good for them. Don't even think they had a shot on target. Still relieved to hear final whistle - part of a ref gave us 2 yellow cards for time wasting - Gabbiadini git his for not leaving the pitch quicly enough after being subbed - Obviously Ref's last chance to book him as they had been at each other all match - and Welch got his for not getting the ball thrown back by the crowd quick enough!!! I had been highly sceptical of those who thought that our downfall was caused by the sacking of Kevan Broadhurst, but, like The Monkees, now I'm a believer. Credit to all those who said so at the time. ps Lovely conversation back to underground with slightly pissed and very bitter QPR fan - you all know the sort - Northampton are cheating b******, Gabbi is too fat, Frain too slow, etc. Final comment to him - we hit crossbar, the post and put the ball in the net what did QPR do? err nothing.

Well done to Kevan B and the lads for another fantastic 3 points. We have regained our pride and can hopefully push on to survival and a respectable finish as long as we stay injury free. Speaking of which, I was not totally supportive of our fielding the 1st team against Oxford, as we have picked up injuries to Hunter. What is more ludicrous is this mickey-mouse Maunsell cup at Nonentity Park where neither side really needs a local grudge match with the associated risk of more injuries.

I can imagine how supportive the council will be if they sold Sixfields to the club. The first thing they'd do is flog the car parks, the second thing they'd do is restrict the crowd size (in cohorts with the police) due to lack of parking and they'd probably uphold every single complaint from the other business' at Sixfields and the residents of Duston until we were driven out or closed.

looking to "off load" Sixfields in the near future.I would therefore
see the sale of the Cobblers as part of a much wider package.This ofcourse makes the sale of the club a very attractive proposition.

The trust are the one's who publicly stated a few years back, never again must one or two men ever be allowed to take charge of the football club again. The club is now in the hands of the supporters through the trust, and that is the way it will always be. If this is still the case then no individual will ever take over the club, and the trust would take some shifting.

ROCHDALE defender Richard Green may have to quit professional football after being told that he suffers from disc prolapse.
The problem is common amongst players over the age of 30 and Green has been told that three discs in his back have begun to degenerate. One in particular is causing Green a great deal of pain down his right leg and resulted in swelling around the area and pressure being put on the surrounding nerves.
Green has received intensive treatment on his back, but the club's surgeon has had to resort to injecting a chemical into the disc, which only has a one in five success rate.
Green now faces an anxious two-week wait to see if the injection has worked and will need to undergo an operation if is is unsuccessful. This only carries a 50/50 chance of working and will determine whether Green has to retire from the game or not.
The 33-year-old defender is yet to play for Dale after joining them in a free transfer from Northampton in the summer.

I would hazard a guess that at least 70% of Div 2 & 3 clubs are open to offers so putting NTFC "on the market" is probably not going to make a great deal of difference in the immediate future. What I think the directors are doing by advertising in 'The Times' is trying to drag a wider net than the wealthy of Northants and the club's catchment area. Often enough we the people have commented that the current directors for whose efforst and financial support we should be grateful have taken the club as far as they can. The truth is this should have happened immediately after the Grimsby play-off final which is fast disappearing into the mists of time. Keep the faith. Up the Cobblers.
Mr Realist at 19:7:37 Friday October 19 2001
Pravda. You have no idea if the Board were to demanding in the dealings with any Consortium. We have no privy to what went on , we know what went on when a certain Gentlman ??? got hold of the Club a few years ago.
On a seperate issue ,if you look at the current Board of Directors you will see that everyone has been a Cobblers supporter for at least 20 years,and two of them were born in the town.
For pitys sake at least give them a bit of credit however hard it sticks in the mouth.

Northampton Town Football Club Chief Executive Mr Gary Hodder has been explaining further the decision to put the club up for sale.
Mr Hodder said, "The Chairman and Board of Directors have recognised how difficult it is to run any football club, and are striving to take this football club forward. Therefore they are asking anyone out there in the local community of Northamptonshire or even further afield in the city for help in taking Northampton Town Football Club forward.
He continued, "The club has plenty to offer. We have all recognised the potential for growth at this club, hence my arrival. The ultimate aim is to take us to a stable Division One club with attendances of around 12,000 with a developed stadium and to do that with the existing board we feel needs some outside help and investment. We feel this is a club with excellent potential. The dormant support is there and what someone could buy in to is a profitable business bearing in mind the tightness of cashflow we operate under. If a buyer is not found there is no panic. If nothing changes it stays the same. If no-one comes forward we stay the same moving forward to the best of our ability, but I hope the fans will endorse this decision because with respect to the Board they want to take this club forward. The town is behind the club but we need to give them something back to excite them to get even more through the gates and that will only come through success on the pitch.
Mr Hodder added, "Northampton has had success in the past, and we feel with further investment we can again in the future. We feel we more than compete at the moment with some of our neighbours and that reflects on the pitch. We even compete with the likes of Wigan and Reading but we want to go beyond that and get in to Division One, and give people something to talk about. A buyer would have a very strong business, excellent personnel and a fine back room staff, and I think anyone coming in would enjoy the journey.
He re-stated, "This is not a move to start alarm bells. We have made a trading profit each month in the first 3 months of this financial year. There is no question that the players have not been paid and Jamie Forrester is going nowhere. I am about to appoint a new Commercial Manager from Nottingham Forest and we are currently having new offices built. Does that sound like a club in crisis? We are moving forward and we want people to come along and support us."
Anon at 17:9:21 Friday October 19 2001
So if the club is taken over where does that leave the Trust? Are they still entitled to representation on the Board?
Pravda at 17:6:53 Friday October 19 2001
If you could have predicted it John, why didn't you? As for scaremongering, I support the club, not necessarily the board. I supported the club long before this board of directors came along. NTFC is not exactly the Garden of Eden at this moment in time so if you want to read and see nice things I think you'd better look elsewhere. Try Old Trafford for starters.
Marty at 17:3:48 Friday October 19 2001
I think you are spot on there Pravda,but you forgot the word help in big letters.
Pravda at 17:0:10 Friday October 19 2001
Here's my view (for which I will probably get slated by some, but so what?) The board have run out of options for getting more money into the club. They probably realise they were too demanding on the past consortiums and people who were interested in the club. All this statement says in reality to the business world is - "We are open to offers. Let's talk" rather than what it seemed to be before "We will not consider anything unless it is in the best interests of the club , ie we will not negotiate on the price of the club and we want our loans paying off first".
John at 16:56:32 Friday October 19 2001
For fecks sake, I could predict that this was likely to happen... add in a few other "maybe it's true" type statements, and anyone will believe you. If people put the resource they put into scaremoungering into supporting the club, the club would do much better and this board would be a nice place to be...

I said on CC2 a few weeks back that the club was being hawked around by the directors. Stonhill apparently offered it to someone he met on the golf course!
Lucky Guess at 16:40:31 Friday October 19 2001
Pravda = Tosser... just cause you guessed right you think were all expected to believe everybit of crap you coem out with. Go back to school.
Pravda at 16:39:3 Friday October 19 2001
Well I told you so! Perhaps now people will believe the things I tell them. I don't need to call myself an insider but I do have a good knowledge of what goes on at Sixfields. I will go on record now and say that this IS a desperation measure, I can't see how it could not be given the circumstances.
Massey at 16:35:56 Friday October 19 2001
Northampton Town Football Club is officially up for sale.
An article will appear in the Times newspaper on Saturday morning confirming
the news.
Speaking on behalf of the current Board of Directors, Chief Executive Gary
Hodder has been at pains to point out that this is not a desperation measure
by the club, but a decision taken after careful consideration to try and
move the club forward.
"This is not a panic measure," said Mr Hodder. "Far from it. I think all
supporters will acknowledge the excellent work the current Board of
Directors have done in not only rescuing the club from it's perilous
position of the early 1990s but by now helping to establish us as a
competitive Division 2 club. The Board do however recognise that in order to
move forward further, outside financial assistance is required. This
decision is not a panic measure, far from it. If no - one comes forward then
we will carry on as we are, running the club in the best way we can and
trying to progress on all fronts. The future of the club is not in doubt,
even if no interested parties come forward. We now feel however, that we are
at a stage where we can make significant progress, and what we are saying is
that if anyone is out there who can help us make that progress, please come
forward. This is not a question about the existence of the club, it is a
controlled decision to try and take Northampton Town Football Club forward."
Mr Hodder continued, "We feel this is a club with excellent potential. The
support is there - 40,000 travelling to Wembley a few years ago is proof of
that. The town is big enough to support a higher level of football, we feel
we have a good squad of players, good facilities and an excellent staff and
we feel that this club would be an attractive proposition for any would be
buyer. The infastructure for a successful club is already in place."
Hotel Ender at 16:34:4 Friday October 19 2001
Pravda was right - the club is officially up for sale - so presumably it wasn't up for sale when the consortium tried to buy us. Go figure!

Blackthorn Cobbler at 15:27:6 Friday October 19 2001
This message board is full of lies. Neither Broadhurst or Palmer have been officially announced as manager. Why don't people just wait and see?
Snake at 15:19:13 Friday October 19 2001
The official news is that Kevan Broadhurst is the new manager of Northampton Town FC.
marco at 15:14:10 Friday October 19 2001
if carlton palmer has anything to do with ntfc I'll be boycotting the club, he's an egotistical mercenary as any supporter of the clubs he's been at would tell you. He's renowned as a heavy drinker and a disruptive influence in the dressing room. Surely the announcement has to be about a new owner for the club or confirming broadhurst as full-time manager.
Hotel Ender at 15:11:8 Friday October 19 2001
perhaps Carlton Palmer would come with Broadhurst working as coach alongside him?
Ant Collett at 15:9:58 Friday October 19 2001
The Star says we are set to announce Carlton Palmer as our new boss, surely not? Broads has been preparing the team all week for the QPR game.

The announcement is that the club is now officially up for sale. Must be getting desperate!
Hotel Ender at 15:0:0 Friday October 19 2001

Come on DR4E, just 'cause you lot got hammered by Cardiff shouldn't mean you should stop winding us lot up - You're doing fine so far. Show a bit of bottle - It is a meaningless cup competition, after all.

A Childs View at 20:15:43 Wednesday October 17 2001
Quite enjoyed last night - whilst we weren't scintillating we looked comfortably good enough to always have the better of Oxford. The first goal was class, Macca, Jamie and Hunt all linked very well. We need to keep Macca in midfield as it gives that extra bit of creativity and service to the strikers. The only slight disappointment was that we didn't go for the jugular in the 2nd half - it would have been nice to knock a couple more in. I also wanted to see Jamie score again to help get him on a roll. The comments below made me laugh - bloody women in football, clearly I should be banned!!!!
Martin at 19:52:56 Wednesday October 17 2001
What time is the LDV vans draw for the next round? Also what channel/station is it on?
Thanks
Simply The Best at 19:27:41 Wednesday October 17 2001
The best team in Northants Giles, is the one that has a few bob behind them which allows them to cope with the ups and down of league football and being able to finance those demands when they arise. The one that is second best is the one who thinks its the best but in reality thrives on short lived glory, has champagne tastes and beer pockets, and always finishes up pleading poverty, because when there's a pound to spend they always seem to think they can spend two.Now if you were to ask what would be the most saleable club in Northants to an interested party, or to a consortium, then the answer to that question would be quite simple.

from the QPR site: "Full-strength Rangers were dumped out of the LDV Vans Trophy – losing 3-0 at Conference side Yeovil.
Manager Ian Holloway said he was going to take this competition seriously and he only made two changes from the weekend’s game at Wrexham – but it still wasn’t enough to defeat a rampant Yeovil side.
The home side thoroughly earned their victory and always looked capable of unlocking the defence and a 3-0 victory was the very least they deserved thanks to a double from Chris Giles and a solo effort from sub Kim Grant." Wonder how they'll react to that come Saturday?
Giles Lawrence (Shiteboro' COBBLER) at 14:13:49 Wednesday October 17 2001
COBBLERS 2-0 Oxford. Cardiff 7-1 Direones. Who's the BEST team in Northants now then DR4E??
Giles Lawrence (Shiteboro' COBBLER) at 14:12:18 Wednesday October 17 2001
From the Internet Football Grounds Guide:- I tend to use Shepherds Bush tube station, simply because there seems to be more pubs around this area. There are in fact two Shepherds Bush tube stations, one on the Central Line and the other on the Hammersmith & City line. The latter is nearer to the ground which is about a ten minute walk. As you come out of the tube station turn right and the ground will come into view further down on the right. Michael Howard a visiting Reading supporter informs me; 'White City Tube on Wood Lane (opposite the BBC Television Centre). Its nearer to the ground and less people seem to use it on match day'. Please note that Queens Park tube station is nowhere near the ground!.
Don in Ealing at 13:47:18 Wednesday October 17 2001
Richard - Central Line tube to White City, then a short walk!
nevermind eh.. at 13:6:39 Wednesday October 17 2001
Its nice of Max to give the Direones travelling army their money back after such a woeful display. Allowing for all their admission costs and paying for the taxi it will cost him the best part of 60 quid.

I think it shows what a total lack of respect Cardiff must have for direshit, to field a second string side knowing it would still be little more than a evening stroll. Dire by name, dire by nature.
A stroll for Cardiff reserves at 12:10:2 Wednesday October 17 2001
a message for DR4E. You struggle to beat teams like Oxford every week in the bottom league, whereas we play the likes of Cardiff every week in the second division. Kind of puts it into perspective dosen't it.
We took an injury ravaged side to Cardiff four weeks ago and only lost 2-0. So DR4E, go away, and come back when you are old enough to play with the big boys.

I don't believe it I didn't know Direones had drawn cardiff in the cup. As happy as I am they got a thrashing (and how) I really should have been there. It costs 4 quid to get a taxi to Ninian Park from my house and a fiver to get in. Anyway I'll give every person I see in the city centre wearing a Cardiff shirt a big sloppy kiss from all the Cobblers Comments board. The enlighten locals of Cardiff will be highly amused by the bout of Tomfoolery I'm sure.

Who wanted to go to Cardiff on a Tuesday night, to watch a game in a micky mouse cup round, how exciting it must have been for you to register a win, I'm sure Oxford must have said thank god were out of it, and wish you well on your next travels on a cold Tuesday night to some other far off place.

Still, enough about the County's 3rd Division side, let's reflect on another fine Cobbler's victory which, whilst not as emphatic as Saturday, at least shows that we can now find the net when there is a sniff. MacGregor seems to be coming good and we now have a basis to press on (injuries and small squad permitting). Goodnight.
Anon at 23:58:4 Tuesday October 16 2001
Unfortunately, the demise of DR4E will take more than one LDV defeat (possibly R&D's worst defeat in their history?? - although I appreciate that they have no history and I am sure I may be corrected as my knowledge of R&D's past is happily zero). In the past we have seen off other R&D bandwaggoners from this site - Diamond Lil comes to mind - although I think that, like the normal R&D supporter, they just lose interest after 2 or 3 defeats on the trot.
Anon at 23:53:10 Tuesday October 16 2001
According to the crap Radio Northants there were about 10 R&D fans at Cardiff!!! What a joke. OK, I appreciate that it's not the easiest place to get to on a Tuesday night, but 10!!!!!! It's pathetic, especially as this is probably the most glamourous tie of Rushden's season. Still, confirms what I said earlier that the real R&D fans were snuggling up at home watching Changing Rooms and checking out the scores of their first teams, Liverpool and Arsenal. It's also refreshing to see/hear that the TV/Radio love affair with R&D is over. Now that they have purchased a place in the football league the pundits no longer recognize their 'underdog' status and they are seen as being as lowly as the rest of us.
Cardiff City 7-1 Rushden & Diamonds at 23:52:56 Tuesday October 16 2001
Cardiff's Gavin Gordon notched five goals in a 7-1 rout of
Rushden & Diamonds in the first round of the LDV Vans Trophy.
Brian Talbot's men had no answer to a Bluebirds side containing
11 changes from the team that drew 2-2 with Wigan in their last
outing.
Mark Bonner opened the scoring after six minutes and substitute
Martyn Giles came on for Leyton Maxwell before netting the other
in the 79th minute.
But the night belonged to Gordon who put in a superb performance
to hit the target on 12, 32, 38, 69 and 80 minutes.
Diamonds new-boy Paul Hall beat the offside trap to grab a
consolation goal in the 72nd minute for the well beaten Third
Division side.
Ralph2 at 23:52:33 Tuesday October 16 2001
On an individual basis I guess.
BUT THEY STILL LOST 7-1 TO CARDIFF RESERVES!!!! at 23:51:58 Tuesday October 16 2001
DR4E last thursday - They have an excellent stadium,its near to the middle of town not stuck out in the sticks they play an ATTACKING style, they have players that convert chances, they have young players coming through into the first team,their support is loud (ish), they have plentyn of money backing them............................................................

Funny how DR4E has failed to mention how his wonderfurl direones got on tonight - he's usually so happy slagging off the Cobblers, oops just remembered he jumps on bandwagons so now the wheels have come off under Tall-but-stupid he'll revert to being a Cobbler. Now what was that score at Ninian Park again?? Talbot must stay!!!! btw I heard tonight that two of the names on the shortlist for the Exeter job were Ian Atkins and Kevin Wilson!!!

Radio Northampton have shot themselves in the foot again by covering the wrong match. Still, I suppose Fat Adam gets more expense money by travelling all the way to Cardiff. Unfortunately, the imbecile watching the Cobblers is even worse than him. Apparently we have created very little in the way of chances!!Well, I thought the game was about scoring goals and we may have only created 2 or 3 but we have scored 2 of them!!! WHAT A DIPSHIT

If anyone does not like my comments they can shove it. We live in a democracy and one of the pillars of such a regime is FREE speech. Ask any true fan about women and the middle classes at football and it will sound pretty similar to mine. The difference is that Ihave the guts to say, be it on a chat site.

CLICK HERE TO TELL RICHIE TO GO AWAY at 12:29:27 Tuesday October 16 2001
I just did.
RICHIE GO NOW YOU ARE NOT WELCOME at 12:28:15 Tuesday October 16 2001
Richie take the hint and go away. Your misspelt drivel encourages abuse and if you can't take it, go and annoy people somewhere else.

Don't forget that Fulham still having standing fans, indeed, there is a marked similarity between Fulham and R&D insomuch as both would still be playing in oblivion if they weren't rich mans play-things. Max and Mo are 2 of a kind - pouring money into a cracked vessel. It will all end in tears, but in the short term their hobby will ring the death-knell for other clubs who have a proud heritage in the lower echelons (and I don't mean the Cobblers who have the proud heritage but are relatively financially sound).

300 Diamonds fans to Rochdale....the rest went across to the Stadium of Light to watch their preferred team!!
Marco fan at 22:9:56 Monday October 15 2001
I Richard Hope that Marco Gabbiadini will be given a second chance by the boring boo boys. He created the majority of Jamie's goals last season and is still a far more experienced player than Parkin, and wins more in the air even if he is a good 3 or 4 inches shorter. If he has played on Saturday we could have had a field day. Come on Marco - show the negative gits how it is done....
DR4E at 22:2:24 Monday October 15 2001
I won't be at the Maunsell cup because I will be working at MacDonalds but I will be there in spirit to see us give you a good hiding. At least you won't have to stand up behind the goal like you do at Rochdale....how uncivilized...I thought that all league grounds had to have seating after the Birkbek report.

Well FTD it just goes to show what gluttons for punishment you are A one off win will always happen, it's what happens between now and the end of the season that counts, and I suspect your one season in and one season out is sure to repeat itself again. Rather have 300 away, and be mid table than watch a team of losers nearly every week. See you next season. Bye for now.

That's an excellent idea about copying over CC2 comments to enable us to read the sensible debate as well as some of the dross (which can be a bit of light relief at times) - although I believe that this site was already under threat of closure due to the amount of traffic. How about it Ray??
Mr Disgruntled at 18:58:50 Monday October 15 2001
Finally, a sensible posting and a good match report - thanks anon. Pity the only sensible comments in the last 7 days have been from an opposing supporter. Good luck to Tranmere for the rest of the season (except the away game)
Anon at 18:58:44 Monday October 15 2001
DR4E-the only bit of luck we had on Saturday was that we didn't get any of your inane postings on this board. Now do as you told and SOD OFF.

I can't believe it! The first home game I've missed for bloody ages and we really turn it on! I gave my mum my ticket - WHAT A MUPPET!!!! I'm going to have to do the decent thing and give up the Cobblers in order that the rest of you can continue to enjoy such good performances. I offer my apologies right now - its all my fault!!!! I hope Broads picks as close to a full strength first team tomorrow night in order that he can, hopefully, get another win under his belt and begin to restore the confidence even further. Consecutive wins would set us up nicely for Saturday. Good to see the Board lower prices for tomorrow - come on fans, lets show them we appreciate a bit of entrepreneurial spirit by doing our best to drag a friend along. Maybe, just maybe, we can turn the corner and begin to salvage something from the season. I'm being cautiously optimistic as we've seen too many false dawns - but there is increasing reason for hope! Interesting stuff about CC or CC2. Personally I'd like to see the CC2 stuff on here as well (can that be done Ray? Simply duplicate it?) in order that it elevates the general discussion on here and detracts from some of the rubbish that is posted. Everybody will be happy then!
Anon at 18:49:54 Monday October 15 2001
Tranmere match report: Firstly may I apologise. This report would have made it onto the site sooner, but after reading my original piece, I felt a period of reflection was in order!
Two hours of M1/M6 motorway later, and no, it doesn’t feel any better. We were dreadful.
Rovers were outplayed, outfought and outclassed today.
Northampton Town, with due respect were a team in turmoil. A team without a manager. A team with one win in the last six. A team who had scored only 8 goals previous to this meeting. A team who not only scored four times to Tranmere’s one, but could’ve scored eight, such was their superiority.
Quite simply, they were by far the better side and deserved all the applause and more.
Tranmere in contrast were not at the races. Period!
The Cobblers came out of the traps like Greyhounds. As early as the 7th minute they had an effort foiled by the post ( which was to prove Rovers only saviour). A Northampton free kick was floated in by Burgess, and as Murphy came, Jamie Forrester challenged, and headed the ball against the post.
What should have served as a wake up call for Rovers, only served to ignite an already rampant Town. Two minutes later they were ahead. Good movement on the right hand side by ex Forest man McGregor led to panic in the Tranmere defence. The loose ball, which seemed to elude all players wearing yellow fell to Northampton striker Jamie Forrester, who gleefully tucked the ball away. 1-0
Minutes later it could’ve been two, but again the woodwork foiled Northampton, with the impressive Hargreaves streaking down the left and crossing for Forrester, who could only hit the bar.
Rovers, who were struggling to get the ball out of their own half finally won a corner on 23 minutes, after N’Diaye had ambled into the opposition’s penalty area.
The first real chance for Tranmere came on 28 minutes, again it was N’Diaye, but his weak header went well wide.
Tranmere best chance to get back in the game fell to Jason Koumas on 38 minutes. His free kick, which was to the left, and 20 yards out was hit well, but the keeper, who saw it late made an excellent stop.
Northampton’s second goal came on the stroke of half time. Again the Rovers defence couldn’t clear the ball, and the as the ball rebounded off the bar, Richard Hope popped up to drive the ball home. 2-0
But just as Northampton were applauding Hope, Rovers were given some. Jason Koumas found Sean Flynn on the edge of the area, and with stunning accuracy, his first time shot flew into the top left hand corner of the net to pull Tranmere back into it.
Half Time Northampton 2-1 Tranmere.
Substitute at half time: Northampton, Dempsey for Sampson.
The second half started with the belief that Rovers could yet salvage something from this game. Unfortunately, the Tranmere players did not seem to share that belief. No sooner had the game restarted, then the Cobblers had scored. This time it was Paul McGregor, after poor defending had let Hargreaves through down the left. It was his cross to the far post, and the poor marking that let in McGregor for his first of the season. 3-1
Rovers again tried to respond, but Barlow’s effort on 52 minutes hit the bar, and finally wide.
Iain Hume was brought on for the ineffective N’Diaye, and it was Hume who could’ve scored, but twice his efforts went wide.
By now Northampton were rampant. Jamie Forrester, Hargreaves and McGregor were fully in control and terrorising the Tranmere defence.
Allison was brought on for Parkinson on 71minutes, to try and improve matters.
A minute later and it was 4!
Jamie Forrester scored his second with consummate ease. It was as if the Tranmere defence was in slow motion, such was the ease with which he could slice through it, and pick his place. 4-1
As the minutes ebbed away I heard some Northampton fans shouting “ Tranmere, You’re rubbish!!!”
“Yep, We Were!”
Final Score: Northampton Town 4-1 Tranmere Rovers
Attendance: 4,636
Referee: Mr L Cable.

I for 1 was pleased when Evatt went back to Derby, coz playing in midfield he has no creativity. Today was our strongest starting line up and boy did it show. Frain on the bench is good (at last!) burgess right back was good, sammo was commanding and organising, mcgregor finally playing in his proper position, hargreaves best ever gmae 4 cobbs, Forrester could have has 4, Parkin was useful but still abit donkey like, should have scored. We could have score 8, them 2. What a match, come on cobblers! go to www.tranmererovers.com and read their match review, you'll love it!

CC2 Poster fed up with this constant crap at 17:33:28 Sunday October 14 2001
Well said "CC2 Poster fed up with this constant crap". The bores from CC2 do think they are more important than the club. I bet everytime they arrive at a game they expect a press conference. Football is a simple game. The bores of CC2 take it far too seriously.
Infact I bet thier wives dread them coming home. Why are they moaning because we get the odd silly comment. Call me unorthodox but I get more joy reading the silly comments than any of the boring drivel that stains CC2. These boring farts I am affraid are the new breed of football fans. They don't sing or fight, but instead write down 'so what' stats. The what I call the TRUE football fan will not be made welcome on CC2 because having a laugh to them is heresy. I hope the CC2 brigade will go back to chess and leave football alone.
Illinois Cobbler at 14:28:44 Sunday October 14 2001
Great performance yesterday, but I should add that a lot of credit has to go to Broadhurst. He is articulate and to the point, his midweek and post match comments were spot on, and the difference in discipline and morale was plain to see after 12 months of solo Wilson.
Dave! at 14:1:24 Sunday October 14 2001
still in shock!!!how long has it been since we last scored 4 goals??
Rob Dunkley at 12:50:32 Sunday October 14 2001
I agrre with Giles, Parkin played much better. He still tends to let his head drop too much though! Sam could have had a couple of goals if Jamie had not been so greedy as well! Anyway it made a change being in the West Stand, rather than in front of a couple of negative prats in the North Stand who spout rubbish about Parkin for 90 mins.
Giles Lawrence (Shiteboro' COBBLER) at 12:41:19 Sunday October 14 2001
Slag me off if you like, but my MOTM for yesterday was SAM PARKIN. The guy was everywhere on the pitch.

NTFC@2view at 11:50:39 Sunday October 14 2001
I feel really positive about yesterday - it was a great all round performance. After the euphoria, however, is it right to ask why, if that is what they are capable of, the players have been as awful as they have up to now? Manager A or Manager B, you would have thought their own pride wouldn't have let them play as desperately badly as they did. Still, I'll forgive them if they keep on like yesterday.

Having slagged McGregor off, I have to say that he looked a totally different player, challenging for the ball and generally looking like a footballer! Great win and on another day, JF could have had 4. I bet the Tranmere fans thought it was going to be easy. I bet the fairweather fans wished they hadn't bother going to watch the Saints lose.

The Match at 10:1:35 Sunday October 14 2001
No wouldnt agree that Trany were the best team that came here thiis season, they looked good to decieve (that remaining 1st Division polish)we would have beet anyone yesterday. Jamie did well but could still do better, as a Spedding detractor he did very well, everyone did well, hunter needs to be careful about some of his tackles I know it his game but he gets booked when there is no danger and Parkin kept kicking the ball away at free kicks, he did better in many patches but has to be more.
Anon at 9:59:5 Sunday October 14 2001
Agree with Den that Spedding was MOM but some very good performances by many others.

Great performance,but as KB said earlier this week he wants a string of performances. Great start though,now Oxford! PS. Direones Nov.6 can't wait,then they will see proper football passion!!
Pickled Judge at 0:42:52 Sunday October 14 2001
Well done Cobblers! A transformation in effort. Parkin actually wanted to play and won headers and provided movement. At times he slowed down but generally was a different kettle of fishes. I reckon Sammo did improve morale by being there and he was bossing Hunter too! Forrester is waking up and evem McGregor didn't duck out of challenges. Well done everyone. Probably the best team yet to come to Sixfields this season and we could have doubled our score! UTC FTP FTD.

Easily the best performance of the season. Its hard to think that the team are capable of putting on a show like today after last Sundays rubbish. As someone posted earlier it could/should have been 9 or 10. The whole team, including Parkin, were outstanding. My MOM was Spedding , he made some superb interceptions and tackles and ran his socks off.Lets hope we can go on from here. There is a bit of a gap at the bottom and we can't afford to lose touch. A win on Tuesday will do confidence of the team and the supporters a lot of good. Well done all.

Great, I missed it after drinking too much last night and being in no fit state to make it into Northampton :-( Never mind, at least we won!! Yay!!
Middleton Cheney Cobbler at 21:59:46 Saturday October 13 2001
It was so good today we were even chanting in the East Stand!! Tranmere refused to lie down but we held them. It was an incredible performance: shame on all you fairweather fans who stayed away, you missed a peach of a game!!
The Ashford Cobbler at 21:53:38 Saturday October 13 2001
Fantastic today. Like having a good shit after being constipated for a year! As stated elsewhere here not a bad performance anywhere except Parkin who needs to significantly up his work rate and committment. He was the only one who looked still short on confidence and desire. Interesting to see whether Gabbi returns in his place. McGregor in particular was transformed. To early to say whether Broads has/can turn things around more permanently. Very encouraged to hear him say that he would field a strong team against Oxford to continue building confidence and the potential value to the club of a good run in the LDV if they can get through to later rounds. The most encouraging element of today was the period early in the second half when we were 2-1 and Tranmere came at us. The defense stood firm, without Sammo, and Keith was only required to make 1 wonder save and wasn't it! The future looks much brighter tonight.
moany from west at 21:6:21 Saturday October 13 2001
frainy fan and martin ,hope you were there today spedding gave 110 % and more. so did hope and most other players you could not have asked any more of them it would seem like broads can motivate and is giving
no one preferential treatment.roll on january when can put everything right against the fen dwellers at our place.
Uncle Richard at 20:57:55 Saturday October 13 2001
Congratulations to the Cobblers, not one bad performance on the park! Don't think Tranmere were the worst side we've seen up here this season. Let's hope they can keep up the style shown today>
Hartwell at 20:56:54 Saturday October 13 2001
Greast to see the team show real commitment, pride in the shirt and pull together. Everyone played their part but I think putting Sammo in - even though he was only 50% match fit and lasted until half-time - was a master stroke as I believe his presence lifted the team and gave them belief. Forrester, for the first time this season, really looked like he wanted to play and might well have had a hat-trick. Hargreaves worked his socks off and gave us real width and penmetration down the left, especially in the first half. I think he and Parkin showed some good understanding as a front partnership as well. McGregor also proved, for the first time, he does have quality. Hunter and Hunt worked hard as well as did Hope. In fact it was an inspiring team performance. It is now evident that Broadhurst was the tactician and that it was, indeed, his dismissal last season that led to such dire performances. For me the clincher was that every time Broadhurst stepped into the technical area today it was to issue positive instructions. He knew what he wanted from the team as a whole and the roles individuals were being asked to perform. Whereas Wilson used to stand there with a bit of paper in his hand as though someone else had written the script. We looked better organised, more purposeful but above all every player wore the shirt with pride and were prepared to give 100% for the cause. We have some tricky games ahead but if we continue to show this level of commitment and remain the compact, conehsive unit we did today, then we can pull well clear of the relegation zone.
Massey at 20:21:39 Saturday October 13 2001
To those of you who chose to stay away........
HA HA HA (you missed a true classic !)
If it were 10 - Tranmere could not have complained
I thought BROADHURST was gonna be too negative as a manager but we created more chances today than we have in all our previous games put together
WELL DONE KEVAN & THE LADS - KEEP IT UP !!!
Shell Shocked at 19:20:28 Saturday October 13 2001
Scored 4, Hit woodwork 3 times, missed 4 one on one's.I know anyone who was not at the match won't believe this ,but on a good day we
could have won 10/11 goals to 2.Magical.
from martin@12:25:41 at 19:14:46 Saturday October 13 2001
In my opion the new kev is no better than the old one! We need somone new in the position who can inspire the players.
Rachel C at 18:53:56 Saturday October 13 2001
Well done lads!! We deserved that, maybe the 1st step in the right direction?? Lets hope so!!!

"It's a hard task for Broadhurst..." Hartwell - it would be a hard task for Jesus Christ. He at least might bring catering costs down with 5 loaves and a couple of fish.
Martin at 12:25:41 Saturday October 13 2001
You get the feelling that Evatt would have stayed if Wilson was still in charge! In my opion the new kev is no better than the old one! We need somone new in the position who can inspire the players.

The only thing Spedding is good for is whipping in corners with his left foot.
DEK at 22:0:33 Friday October 12 2001
I too would like to see the stats re: Frain but I would also add in
Hope, Hunt and Spedding as none take any responsibility. They are certainly not winners!!
frainy fan at 21:53:3 Friday October 12 2001
WHO CAN TAKE CORNERS & FREE KICKS & GIVE 110% BUT FRAINY. THANKYOU.
moaney from west at 21:45:4 Friday October 12 2001
alarm bells are ringing just heard frainy will be playing tomorrow
i would like to see some statistic on how many recent wins last 12 months frainy actually played in.the man justly remains a hero but surely we now have better and faster options are available i cannot be the only person to think he is too slow at wingback and cant be a choice over hargreaves.i hoped broads would be the man to bring change but ive got a feeling a i will be a little more depressed at 4.45 tomorow
creaton cobbler at 21:21:2 Friday October 12 2001
Just see cobblers on t.v. G. Best 6th goal.
Well said at 19:18:59 Friday October 12 2001
Well said voice in the wilderness silly comments is all part of it.
That is why Richie from NZ loves this site.
MK Cobbler at 19:16:7 Friday October 12 2001
Some damning comments from Broadhurst about his inheritance and they appear to be accurate. It seems that Wilson has a lot to answer for. But that is history and we must move forward rooting out those that have no interest in this club and its welfare but are happy to take a decent pay cheque for going through the motions. The fans will not be mugged. We demand 100% effort for 100% support.
RICHIE SPELLCHECK. at 19:16:3 Friday October 12 2001
Well done!! Richie has sent a mail that has been spelt 100% correctly.
Go to the top of the class and collect a gold star from the teacher.

no guts, thats your problem, you will never make it onto cc2..
Voice in the Wilderness at 18:20:57 Friday October 12 2001
Ray: Can I just say I think this comments arena is the best I have seen on any site. The rubbish is all a part of it and should not be snuffed out. Some people are just too stuffy. Send them to CC2!

richie fan from nz at 17:57:22 Friday October 12 2001
hartwell and a childs view why dont you ask to join cc2,,,it is much better there.
Hartwell at 17:52:22 Friday October 12 2001
TWSP, yes it sounds as though disciplione and team spirit went to pot under Wilson. I just wonder if Broadhurst will be able to restore some pride. Tomorrow will show us if he's succeeded or not. It's a hard task for Broadhurst without having to counter these kind of problems. I suspect if they persist he will want to root out the players behind the unrest - and that might well see some of our senior professionals on their bikes. And good riddance too, if it helps restore pride in the shirt. I would, frankly, rather see some young or even part-time players brought in if they were willing to play their hearts out for the club, their teammates, the fans and the directolrs. After all they couldn't be less effective than some of those presently turning out in the claret, who appear to have no interest whatsoever in this club and show so little commitment and motivation that you wonder if they even have any pride in themselves.
A Childs View at 17:40:19 Friday October 12 2001
Just spent 25 minutes catching up on CC for about 1 minutes worth of sensible comment. Boring!! Ray - I'm sure a number of us would be quite happy if you used your editorial discretion to simply delete the crap that's on here. Free speech, definitely, but freedom to corrupt a site for Cobblers chatter with rubbish - I think not? Evatt's gone back then. I think we might see Hope, Sammo and Burgess tomorrow with, if he's fit, Spedding going to left wing-back. I'd rather drop Spedding though and get Hargreaves at the back. Midfield should be Hunt, Hunter and McGregor. It won't be any good, but the strike force should be Jamie and Asa - but please, please play it to feet!! I'm not religious but I will be praying tonight!!
Ray at 16:50:35 Friday October 12 2001
Oh well, guess you will have to stay here then.

Evatt returns to Derby because "he could not be guaranteed a place in the side" ... Have we signed Beckham then, as I don't see anyone at the club who is better than or even close to Evatt over the last few matches.
Anon at 13:57:13 Friday October 12 2001
Evatt goes back.... so thats a bit of a blow then...
TWSP at 12:54:48 Friday October 12 2001
Some forthright comments from Broadhurst in todays Chron. "He is alarmed at the deterioration in morale and discipline at the club over the past 12 months and that the players should show more respect for their team mates and the club. He further said that the spirit about the place is as low as he could ever remember and that is something that has not happened just in the last couple of weeks. We are not blessed with a whole load of leaders here. There are things that used to be the norm here in terms of discipline that have gone by the wayside. I think it is the whole professional aspect of us that is sadly lacking". Well in my opinion he is spot on with his analysis and backs up what most of us suspected back in April. Mores the pity that those running the club did not have the foresight to take action then. It remains to be seen though whether after the diagnosis he is able to prescribe a cure. Regarding the professionalism of some of the players, a friend of mine - a cobblers supporter - went in the South Stand for the Swindon game with a work colleague - a Swindon supporter - to get a view from the other side and they both commented on an incident where Hodge was telling Dempsey to slow it down, and that was when we had just pulled it back to 1 - 1 and for once we had our tails up. Which sums up my opinion oh him, okay for 30 minutes but 90 minutes, come on boss you must be joking. Presumably the players watched the England - Greece game well I hope they took note of the commitment from Beckham, though probably not. One final thing Ray would you please censor some of the verbal diarrhoea that dominates this site and please do not give freedom of speech as an excuse because you would no doubt censor racist and the like remarks.

Good news to see that Sammo is back tomorrow-question is who will he drop. Burgess I don't think so, Hope I don't think so, Evatt I don't think so. The msg below just shows how clever and mature the boro fans are

I went to a dustbin game last year away at Leigh RMI,the loud Rushden fans totalled about 100 and they sang 2 songs which was yellows and Rushden and their choir numbered about 6 people,it was all right when you wereclose to them but they were outsung by Leigh who normally number about 500 fans,Oh DRe4 or what ever he calls itself has admitted to being a cobblers fan in a previous life,so i suspect its other team is manc utd,the supporters I spoke to in the bar included a scot and an old scumborough supporter...

Chris W at 22:54:10 Thursday October 11 2001
I have 3 questions for DR4E:
1 - How old are you?
1 - If you are above the age of 18, then what football team did you follow before Rushden and Diamonds, because being over the age of 18 MUST mean that you have followed football for longer than the existence of R & D?
3 - How can you possibly know anything at all about following a football team (or football at all for that matter) when you have deserted one team to jump on the bandwagon of another?
ALL RUSHDEN AND DIREONES FANS ARE PLASTIC SCUMBAGS WHO KNOW NOTHING ABOUT WHAT IT IS TO BE A FOOTBALL FAN. GET OUT OF OUR FACES...

Jealousy is a sad emotion spurred on by self loathing. Are you jealous that Richie from NZ actually played for The Cobblers? Something you dream about and will never happen. Take stock of your life and accept the small plusses you achieve, and perhaps in time you will learn to let go.

Mr Disgruntled at 20:34:4 Thursday October 11 2001
Let's not knock R&D FC - we should join forces and take the league by storm. The combined team should be an amalgamation of the clubs names - for example, From the Cobblers we take NORTHAMPTON TOWN FOOTBALL CLU and from Rushden and Diamonds, B.

I can't believe this site - now we're getting inverted snobbery in addition to the usual crap about "we're better than Diamonds"...na.na,na,na.,na. This "football's a working class game" is about as cliched and dated as "it's a man's game". Do I detect some jeolousy among the have nots? Half-term's come early this year. Lets for goodness sake have some sensible discussion here.
ENCF at 20:1:54 Thursday October 11 2001
Players that convert chances????? But Talbot has slagged off every striker that has played this season, sold three of them (one a record signing from Northwich or somewhere who was then considered NOT good enough for League football - £175,000 well spent!!!) and Direones have made the worse start to a league that any of the Conference Champions have ever made in their first season in the league.

Phil Chard at 19:45:32 Thursday October 11 2001
Hello Boys, Chard here. That bloke who said the middle classes have ruined football is right. When I was on the park the lads on the terraces were a laugh and generated atmosphere. WHERE HAVE THE BOYS GONE? Instead we have boring golf playing types who like skiing only go to tell others about it. I hate the middle classes. Football is a working class game. Middle class sreal everything decent from the working class and ruin it. Football, getting pissed, drugs. In the words of my old mate Jarvis Cocker, stop pretending to be common people coz when you leave the ground in a BMW without having a punch-up makes you look like a C U Next Tuesday. Give them back thier game!!!!!

Haven't posted here for a while alhough I have read the drivel occasionally. First time I discovered this site I thought, great, somewhere where I can find out whats happening at the club while I'm living down here in Cardiff. For a while, thats what it was. If all of the sensible posters have moved somewhere else, will someone tell me where that is please? (NOT THE OFFICIAL SITE SURELY?) All I have to read now is a moron from NZ and even worse, some cretin from a small town, where, despite living in Northampton for 25 years I don't think I ever went to once. I mean,why would you! So come on cobblers fans, lets have some sensible footy chat here, or whats the point? Small town twat, please piss off and annoy some fans at clubs of the league you're actually in. No-one, and I mean NO-ONE gives a toss what you think about ANYTHING. Football banter between clubs that actually compete in the same league is great, but for now you don't qualify. Comprende squirt?

We cannot dispute or argue that the support is "loud" or that you play "attacking" football with players that convert chances (although by your goals for there cant be many chances being created) BECAUSE no-one in their right mind will be seen at Nene Park to check it out. We only have your word for it. I agree that you have one of the best stadia for a Conference side and money you dont know how to spend properly.

A wobblers fan goes to the doctor asking for a prescription for 'Viagra'. The wobblers fan asks for a large dose of the *strongest* variety. The doctor asks why he needs so much.
The wobblers fan says that two young nymphomaniacs are spending a week at his place. The doctor fills the prescription.
Later that week, the same wobblers fan goes back to the doctor asking for pain killers.
The doctor asks 'why, is your dick in that much pain?'
'no', says the wobblers fan , 'it's for my wrists - the girls never showed up!'

I was sitting in the passenger seat of a mates van and as we were driving a long I felt a bump, "What was that?" I said He replied, "Oh I ran over a cat!" We carried on driving and about 15 minutes later, there was another bump, "What was that?" He replied, "Oh I hit a dog!" And he carried on driving. Then about 10 minutes later there was 2 bumps I asked, "What was that?" He replied, "Its OK Iv'e hit a Cobbler" "Yeah, but there was 2 bumps!" "I know, I had to go up the curb!!!"

Even so the R&D is still a fair distance from anywhere if I remember right. By these calculations Sixfields must also be in the town centre.
Let's Be Fair at 14:36:53 Thursday October 11 2001
You have to pardon our ignorance - we were all raised to believe that "out in the sticks" meant Irthlingborough and Rushden. It's also very true that despite being on the edge of town the ground is not far from the town centre - anything actually in Irthlingborough has to be near the centre(excuse us for not knowing the technical difference between a town and a village).

no no no, you see I think the village idiot means middle of town, referring to that thriving and fashionable and of course culturally swinging town of Rushden (ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ). I suspect the poor love doesn't know there are places, full of wonder and amazement that exist.......outside that grotty little hovel

Don't play Jamie Forrester. He doesn't tackle, run, fight for possession and even when presented with the ball at the end of his toe can't get a goal. Waste of space. Bring on Asamoah.

Sorry Claudette, but I don't think the situation at Wrexham is quite the same. Near the beginning of the season Flynn made it clear that he would be leaving at the end of the season when his contract ran out. I'm sure their lowly position hasn't be helped by this, but it wasn't the reason for Flynn's departure. The Wrexham board have taken some time and have had a chance to think about a replacement manager before acting. Having given Broadhurst a month it allows our club some breathing space. Of course if the board still cock it up they will have no excuse.

Was anybody aware that the Trust had given the club £5000. You would not know it. No publicity from the football club in the programme. Not even a receipt or letter of thanks. Didn't some other organisation receive a full page of the programme about there donation - in fact it was not even a donation it was for sponsorship and advertising.

Claudette at 9:39:41 Tuesday October 9 2001
I see Wrexham have appointed a new manager. I congratulate them for being positive oin their managerial situation. I 'm not saying for a moment he will necessarily be the answer to their problems, but at least the directors have been positive and made a decision from which to go forward from, none of this lets give it a month and see how things work out lark. That is meerly stalling for time, time which we do not have. Our directors took a positive step and got rid of Wilson but have then not taken the further step required. They must be bold. If it has to be Broadhurst for whatever 'behind the scenes' reasons then so be it and let it be Broadhurst, but why not make it official and leave no-one in any doubt as to the on-going position, whatever the future may hold. The current 'on trial' situation cannot be doing anyone at the club any good, not the players, not Broadhurst himself. Uncertaintly is not the way to encourage team spirit and togetherness or continuity. So come on directors, be positive and take a further step on the current managerial situation one way or another. Lets have one situation cleared up, its one less to deal with and other problems can then be tackled more positively as well.

Just to cheer you all up,I seemed to recall when we last played Tranmere at home we were in the midst of a similar awful run, so I checked the record books.It was in season 1989/90, and we had won
only 4 games in 15.We got stuffed 4-0 and didn't win for another 12
games.Needless to say we were relegated. Can't wait for saturday !

I reckon it's Richie himself trying to get sympathy. His football never got any attention so he is making up for it. SAD. Richie is a very sad man.

After training the Richie would loiter near disabled exits looking for sympathy.
Hartwell at 20:59:31 Monday October 8 2001
Anon - I didn't say we ought to pack the team with big, lumbering bipeds as IA tended to do. What I said was that we needed a front man with some height and presence to win balls, hold play up and play the ball on.
MK Cobbler at 20:59:24 Monday October 8 2001
The post match quotes of Braodhurst are very damning of the players or certain of them. Things are looking bad but we have enough time to get out of this hole but not that much time. If players are not prepared to give their all to this club they must be moved on and quickly. Whether it is Kevan Broadhurst or another we must be rid of those only going through the motions.
Interested at 20:58:21 Monday October 8 2001
hmmm.. who could be behind this vendetta? Hartwell? NTFC@2view? DR4E? Who else is bitter towards richie?
RICHIE THE RASBERRY at 20:57:10 Monday October 8 2001
We used to make training difficult for Richie by sprinkling drawing pins in his path. We used to call him 'punture repair kit' Richie as he was always taking off his wheelchair tyres to fix his boots.

I know that's not you Ray, but I guess you share similar sentiments. But I still don't understand why Phil Chard is talking about richie's football skills, listening to richie I bet he had real 'guts' like he is always talking out.
Phil Chard at 20:54:17 Monday October 8 2001
NEVER. That Richie played football like Ironside, the disabled detective. Even Christopher Reeve would run rings round Richie the NZ idiot. Seriously, two left feet Richie we called him. He was a right Spas.

The Drilling Cobbler at 19:21:42 Monday October 8 2001
It was evident yesterday that thus far Broads has been unable to install any passion and committment into a squad of players that are frankly a disgrace to their profession. As I pointed out immediately after Wilsons sacking, we need someone from outside the club who has no preferance to certain players and who will make no pre-judgements. Leaving Asamoah out completely was beyond belief. I now include Parkin in our worst ever forward line (since 86 at least) alongside Wilkinson. Regardless of the lack of service he receives, there is no excuse for the complete effortless displays he has produced todate. Frain was not even fit yet still played - proof once again that Broads is going with who he knows. Why did Hargrieves not start as a wingback - he has been out for far less time than Frain and has played the same amount of reserve team football. To summerise, we went there looking for a 0-0 draw and came away with nothing. Once we went behind, we had no plan B, and did not have the type of player on the pitch to conjure up a goal. Sounds familiar! Broads and Wilson complimented each other hence why they were successful. One without the other and you have extreme defensive play or no defensive play. Amusing how the long 'raking' ball towards the corner flag from kick offs has returned - the only difference now is that we have Jamie Forrester challenged a 6 foot plus defender for it instead of John Gayle! Same can be said about Roy Hunters long throw in's. We simply are not playing to our strenghts, although it is getting harder and harder to know exactly what those strenghts are. It really has become very desperate.

Another post from TwoView. Congratulations on making up a name of your own. Perhaps you'll be clever enough to write some of your own soon. Oh, by the way, does this post mean you disagree with my opinion of the new players? Or are you just being a silly girl?
Anon at 17:18:10 Monday October 8 2001
Leave the directors alone they are doing all they can, nobody is desperate to up to take their places, even if they were to give it away. Drive them out and who takes charge then, where does the wages come from for a start, But then again perhaps the kind council might keep them going for a month, but then what does the future hold, Conference or playing Kettering in the DM. Perhaps this is the future at least the club may be able to survive on its income.
EVERYONE at 17:9:57 Monday October 8 2001
NTFC@2view is a little sh1te and is trying to take the pressure off his ridiculous claims at the start of the season. He had no friends to play with on a wet Sunday, so has looked around for someone to be nasty about. He is now happy.
NTFC@2view at 16:19:8 Monday October 8 2001
Nice of someone to search out a post of mine on TwoView and repost it here - but why you post with my 'name' I don't know. I suppose you are probably a twat with too small a brain to make your own up. I knew that England would score as soon as I saw it was 93 minutes, then, when Teddy did a Jason White and took the middle out of their wall.....easy! I still think that Burgess might just be slightly useful, but my first impressions of our new players now seems to be the majority verdict. Don't forget, you read it here first.

I've just come back from my holiday in Rome and wish I hadn't bothered, I so much wanted to see good results but its appears we are a long way from it. I was tempted to do some football scouting and pick up some new players, the way we are playing I would be lucky to pick up an Italian Pizza without extra topping to join us at the moment.

IT IS TIME WE DID SOMETHING ABOUT OUR CLUB. IT IS NO USE SINGING THE TEAM ON, IT IS NOT MAKING THE TEAM PLAY BETTER ANYWAY. THE BOARD ARE TOO COMFORTABLE AT THE MOMENT BECAUSE NO ONE WILL CHALLENGE THEM. WE NEED TO MAKE IT CLEAR THAT IT IS TIME FOR FRESH IDEAS AT THE CLUB. THE BOARD DID HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO MAKE THIS CLUB WORK BUT THEY HAVE WASTED IT. THAT IS NOT THE FANS FAULT. IN ANY OTHER BUSINESS ACCOUNTABILITY STARTS AT THE TOP.
DEAR BARRY STONEHILL at 12:10:21 Monday October 8 2001
WALK AWAY FROM THE CLUB NOW WHILE YOU STILL HAVE A SHIRT ON YOUR BACK. YOU HAVE ALREADY ADMITTED THAT IF WE GO DOWN WE ARE ALL IN DEEP SHIT. WHAT MONEY YOU HAVE PUT INTO THIS CLUB IS GONE. YOU HAVE NO CHANCE OF GETTING IT BACK, BUT HOW MUCH IS IT GOING TO COST FINANCIALLY AND TO YOUR REPUTATION IF YOU STAY? I KNOW YOU DIDNT WANT THIS TO HAPPEN BUT IT HAS. DO THE DECENT THING. SELL FOR A REASONABLE SUM NOW OR YOU WILL STRUGGLE TO GET A POUND FOR THE CLUB THIS TIME NEXT YEAR.
ALL TOGETHER NOW at 11:58:50 Monday October 8 2001
SACK THE BOARD THEY ARE LEADING OUR CLUB TO RUIN! THEY HAVE CHASED AWAY NOT ONE BUT TWO CONSORTIUMS! WHY ARE WE ALLOWING THIS TO HAPPEN? WE SHOULD BE ACTIVELY SHOWING THAT THIS BOARD IS NO LONGER WANTED, THAT WILL SURELY MAKE THEM MORE RECEPTIVE TO OFFERS. IF WE SIT BACK IT IS GOING TO GET MUCH MUCH WORSE!

........And wise up Cobblers board where do you think the neutrals( and I would summise that there are plenty in and around Northampton)are going to go for their fortnightly or weekly dose of top sporting action.Sixfields windy, exposed, unenclosed, no atmosphere, watching a team of unknown journeymen hoofing the ball skywards to no effect. Or the brand spanking Franklins Gardens fully enclosed comfortable seats and seeing the home team containing and opposing some of the best players in the world......

All this takeover bid talk gets us nowhere. Whatever the rights or wrongs of any offer before (if in fact there ever was one), it was not taken. Its over and gone, finished. They have not come back with another offer and there is simply no further enquiry on the table, so until there is the current board have to carry on, although I am sure they think its time to move on as well. You cannot sell unless there is a buyer, if you could my house would have gone months ago!!
Nosey Parker at 10:18:1 Monday October 8 2001
Well what a shit performance........I should of stayed at home.The club has not a penny to spend so Broadhurst will be the mananger because the only solution is that the appointment HAS to come internally due to the clubs financial plight? Parkins loan should be terminated (as should the player!!) As for the rest I think a look at some Sunday football should show them what commitment is all about!!!!
Anon at 9:17:18 Monday October 8 2001
We're shit and we're going down
FTD at 6:4:16 Monday October 8 2001
Obviously we require some pace in midfield and a centre forward to hold the ball up, for the said midfield to join an attack occasionally.Obviously Parkin can't head a ball,Jamie has lost it big time,all year, McGregor is a lazy s**t,Frain is not 2nd division standard.But most obvious of all the Boards lack of funds is strangerling the club to a slow death.NOW IS THE TIME FOR THE DIRECTORS TO MOVE ON!!! Will there ever be an offer good enough for Mr Stonhill and colleagues? Have they gone past their sell by date?

According to today's Sunday Times, John Fashanu is looking to buy a club - and he's loaded. Ray, don't suppose you've got his email address? We were crap today. McGregor cannot win or retain the ball in a tackle. Forrester wasn't willing to chase and the midfield all looked very much from the same mould though I think Evatt is carrying an injury. Burrall bossed it on his own and, I hate to say it, he'll be on his way to a Prem club soon.
TRB Mark at 23:52:27 Sunday October 7 2001
We were absolute pants I'm afraid. Mcgregor, as I said last week is a luxury we can't afford if he is just going to nonce about pretending to be a footballer. We need 11 battlers. Anyone know the url of the Div 3 messageboard?
Hartwell at 23:51:22 Sunday October 7 2001
Had to endure it all in the new stand, surrounded by Posh fans! We can't pass the ball, have no pace, no width, no passion, the midfield players simply work the ball into blind alleys down the middle, we have no height and no muscle to win and hold the ball up at the front, and no-body who even looks remotely like a forward. And that's just for starters! Truly a horrible, wretched, display. Yes, we held our shape the back in the first half quite well. But if that's all you can do - and it was all we did - we'll never win games. Because they are won on chances created and taken. And we don't create or put any away. When was the last time a forward scored for us in open pay? That's not to say it's all the fault of those up front. They get no service from either the flanks or through the middle. We need a big man to win some balls in the air up front and to provide layoffs for Forrester. I also take exception to Broadhurst's post-match comment that there was no lack of effort. In fact there was a total lack of effort and commitment from several players. Don't insult our intelligence. We know when we're being short-changed and it happened again today. At this point in the season we can begin to assess things objectively, and the overall conclusion I have is that we are collectively just not good enough for this division. We're too slow, too predictable, and just cannot to the basics. Apart from poor passing, our midfield players time and again made the wrong choices, often trying to play the short ball to marked men when there were others open. We badly need new players. The majority of those on the pitch today aren't going to get us out of the relegation battle and we have to be honest about it. But of course we have no money to buy. I thought it was also ironic to see the players applauding the fans at the end. The majority ought to have crept off the park in embarrassment.

Burgess - crap, Parkin - crap, Wolleaston - crap, McGregor - crap, Lavin - crippled. Eat my word? Eat my pants more like! Broadhurst - can he walk on water? What is the meaning of life? How do you make babies? Is Atkins God? Is Stonhill the devil? Will I ever make any sense?
Gerald at 22:40:21 Sunday October 7 2001
The only forward that is capable of making something out of nothing is Derek Asamoah . . . and he is not even substitute!!!!!! Forrester has become Corazzin (always arriving just too late to get that tackle in and will not go in where it hurts) and McGregor shows nothing, they both cheated me out of today's admission fee. Parkin has not impressed and looks like he wants away and Gabbiadini is suspended, so the powers that be drop Asamoah!? Mark my words if we stick with Broadhurst we will get Atkins x 10 as it was mainly Broadhurst who dictated the ultra defensive stuff, no room for flair from here on in.
Fluff at 22:32:48 Sunday October 7 2001
I see Stonhill is already talking up Broadhurst so I guess we are faced with the fact he is the new manager. If this is a measure of our ambition then it is time for change. Broadhurst has no credentials, no experience and just the support of those looking at coincidential results since his previous departure. We are going down unless the board have it within themselves to make an inspirational appointment. We've missed Dave Bassett who is going to work with Sam Haman again at Cardiff.
Massey at 22:16:7 Sunday October 7 2001
What the hell is happening with ASAMOAH ???????
He was warming up with the squad before the game but was not even a sub..........we were crying out for him today
NTFC@2view at 21:40:29 Sunday October 7 2001
Burgess - not convinced, Parkin - convinced, Wolleaston - convinced, McGregor - convinced, Lavin - convincing broken leg. Eat my word? Eat my pants more like! Broadhurst - can he walk on water?

Yeah - you're funny!! The posting below isn't me, nor is the stupid R & D tripe from earlier. I couldn't care less about 'Richie from New Zealand' or anyone from anywhere for that matter. I simply like to share thoughts, observations, questions, and opinions about how my beloved Cobblers are doing. Can't we keep this site for that and all drop the useless crap that's getting a bit too prevalent on here?
A Childs View at 20:55:57 Sunday October 7 2001
Look on the bright side - at least richie fan from nz has returned!
A Childs View at 20:50:53 Sunday October 7 2001
Not pretty today. The containment approach was shot to pot when Dempsey (who otherwise did ok) misguidedly raised his hands to the Posh players back. We never recovered from that incident. I think it was Farrell who made the most of it, however, professional footballers should know not to raise their hands in the box. I learnt that playing Sunday league football - its one of the basics! End result - it was a justifiable penalty. The disappointing things today were a lack of effort on the part of some players and the complete absence of any attacking nouse. A midfield of Evatt, Hunt and Hunter is simply too negative. Also, Frainy wasn't yet fit enough for the wing-back role (ohh to have Dave Savage back!!!) We therefore had minimal service from the left and through the middle!!! At times it was painful - the old long ball to Jamie again, proving as effective as always!! What happened to the improved service he got against Swindon? Perhaps it would have been different if we'd got to half time at 0-0, but, I doubt it. My worry now is that with a home game against free-scoring Tranmere to come it'll be 1 point from 9 for Kevan in his first three games. This simply means the 'boost' teams sometimes get from a new manager will not have happened to us. We really needed it to. Top priority is to get a target man if we are to persist with long ball. Can't we please send Parkin back and get someone else in - it could be the difference between survival and relegation! Posh looked very average today and didn't do that well against what, I'm sorry to say, is a very poor looking Cobblers side. Oh well, to quote Willo, "I suppose we've just got to get on with it!" It's gonna be a tough and long winter where we Cobblers fans are really gonna have our mettle tested. Still, I suppose we've got used to it over the years!! Bring it on I say - I like a challenge!!

But you lot have been telling me that the fans are the club. Surely you can't, no, never, have lost your passion for the club? Console yourself with your proud history. Cheered up yet?
Shiteboro' COBBLER at 20:34:43 Sunday October 7 2001
It's alright for some - you don't have to LIVE here. Thank god we had WELCHY in goal, he was brilliant. The others were shite, and that's putting it moderately. No passion left in the club.
DR4E at 20:31:13 Sunday October 7 2001
Thanks for the free consultation Mr Psycho, Im feeling better already. I have had a broad smile on my face all evening. Despite the fact that I am suffering from an acute bout of bandwaggoner fever, I'm sure I'll get over it. As for belonging in the Football League, beware, the tables are turning and it probably won't be long before you see such comments directed at yourself. Cheery regards, the real DR4E.
Anon at 20:13:35 Sunday October 7 2001

Mr Disgruntled at 19:51:52 Sunday October 7 2001
Could't go today...was it really as bad as it sounded on the radio?
Psychologist at 19:33:10 Sunday October 7 2001
DR4E - you really need to see a doctor - you should be conversing and debating with your fellow supporters about teams in Div. 3, but instead seem to feel a need to inflict yourself on this site. OK, we appreciate that there is no R&D message board traffic because all the supporters are bandwaggoners who spend their free-time in wine bars,at the Garden centre/DIY store or watching Changing Rooms. So I feel sorry for you that you feel the desperate need to spend your time on this site to try and create a sense of belonginig in the Football League.. Well, let me tell you, R&D will never be considered as a league team by any other than the bandwaggoner supporters and bandwaggoner TV / radio pundits who 'adopt' R&D at cup time. I don't despise the genuine R&D fan who, at the worst, can be described as misguided. The pundits who know f-all about lower division football are the real culprits. Even if we are in the same league next season, your team will still be the Tonka-toy of the football league with no passion/no message board. Do us a favour and stay on the R&D site where you can spend all day talking to youself. Incidentally, do you have any hobbies that take you out into the fresh air? You really should see that doctor.I guess that you are also probably Posh-Andy in disguise.
Wellingborough Claret at 19:24:46 Sunday October 7 2001
Where was Asamoah and what is happening with him? He needs to start or at least come on as a sub!
Pickled Judge at 19:22:9 Sunday October 7 2001
I have never had any doubt about Parkin since seeing him in the pre-season friendlies. Send him back to the Bridge. Both he and McGregor should be ashamed of themselves, continually backing-off from 50-50 balls and failing to push for balls they could win. As for Forrester now, he would never get away with doing so little anywhere else in any job. Did you notice absolutely no-one wanted to have a go? Time and time again we passed (sic) just outside or on the penalty area when a shot may have gone in, especially in the driving rain. I don't remember Tyler making a save whereas once again Welch was a hero. Is Asamoah injured? There is no excuse for him not at least being on the bench. Dearie dearie me!
BloodNut at 19:20:44 Sunday October 7 2001
Kevin Wilson was part of the Ireland Team that lifted the Indoor Home International Championship live on Sky tonight. I also hear he has signed for a non-league team as a player.
Lemmie at 18:28:34 Sunday October 7 2001
Once again we have turned in another woeful performance, there are players out there cheating us. Nothing has changed and Broadhurst is not the man to save us. It was only a short while ago that the club sacked him, if he were that good then the board should have backed him and sacked Wilson. (Mind you if they'd done that they would probably have brought Wilson back). All we have done is return to the Atkins latter day era, we do not look capable of attacking let alone scoring. McGregor, Forrester, Parkin, Spedding were awful. We will be playing at Hartlepool, Carlisle, Torquay and all unless the board make an inspired appointment, sadly I think that they have already made their choice and he will be officially instated after his months 'trial'.
Luton Cobbler at 18:4:57 Sunday October 7 2001
A reasonable first half performance until we gave away a needless penalty and then we fell apart from there. We were second in every department. What little service the strikers get is wasted on them - neither looked capable of scoring. McGregor is a lazy little shit - a luxury we can ill afford at the momment. It's a pity he wasn't here in the days of Neil Grayson - a player with not a huge ability, but a man who would have died for the cause. Jamie's confidence is completely destroyed. All those people who moaned that £200k from Wycombe was an insult must surely be thinking again. That's what we need now. Unless something amazing happens, i'm afraid Div 3 already beckons. We look completely incapable of scoring and we won't survive on 0-0's alone. On a positive note, thank god for Keith Welch. Without him it would have been double figures. It's all very well blaming the board, but what can they do ? The are not multi-millionaires and it is understandable that they do not want to run the club into massive debts again (if we're not already there). People are hardly lining up to buy the club and on todays showing it's hardly suprising.
All together now... at 17:39:10 Sunday October 7 2001
SACK THE BOARD THEY ARE LEADING OUR CLUB TO RUIN! THEY HAVE CHASED AWAY NOT ONE BUT TWO CONSORTIUMS! WE SHOULD NOT LET THEM CHASE AWAY THE NEXT ONE. THEY HAVE OUTSTAYED THEIR WELCOME AND SHOULD GO NOW.

g at 17:20:37 Sunday October 7 2001
Just read KB comments, fighting talk lets just hope he can relay that into the players for the next game. TIME TO GET NASTY COBBLERS AND STOP LETTING OTHER TEAMS DOMINATE US!
MK Cobbler at 16:51:4 Sunday October 7 2001
Wasn't there so not for me to comment on the performance other than from what I heard their 'keeper had nothing to do. It is clear this is a season of struggle and the best we can hpe for at the beginnining of October is to stay in this division. So whether it Broadhurst or a.n. other (the jury is out until the end of the month) we need to get results at Sixfields and smash and grab away from home. It is going to be a long hard road and we had best be prepared for it.

Well done Posh, another team of jokers put to the sword. Serves them right after all the crap they posted.
Wobblers going down
You're not very good at 16:40:31 Sunday October 7 2001
HA HA HA HA HA. Seriously though, yoiu were very poor indeed. A good result for Posh, but we have certainly come up against far better Wobbs teams in the past.

THE POSH at 16:16:2 Sunday October 7 2001
That was one of our worst performances at home this season and we still won easily. Shame that we will only get to play you once more this season and that will be the last one for a long time by the looks of things
Anon at 16:9:55 Sunday October 7 2001
Who's he? Havent heard of him, would you play him up front on his own?
Rob Dunkley at 16:8:49 Sunday October 7 2001
My Team for Saturday (assuming Evatt goes back to derby) Welch; Dempsey, Burgess, Hope, Spedding; Hodge, Hunter, Hargreaves, Carruthers; UP FRONT God knows
PoshAndy at 16:6:42 Sunday October 7 2001
WOBBLERS ARE GOING DOWN! THE BORO MARCH ON. U WERE THE WORST TEAM I HAVE SEEN THIS SEASON, YOU COULDNT SCORE IN A BROTHEL.

15:55:45 isn't me.
richie fan from nz at 16:4:19 Sunday October 7 2001
well things arennt looking good,,,,,i think its time to bring back Atkins
Rob Dunkley at 16:0:19 Sunday October 7 2001
Today defeat i think is a sign of a team devout of confidence. We were playing well in the first half and heads just dropped after a very very dubious penalty - this is from Giles at the game. Next Saturday will be bloddy tough - Broadhust has got his work cut out and if it was not for Welch it could have been five.
DR4E at 15:59:56 Sunday October 7 2001
See you next season!
Anon at 15:58:50 Sunday October 7 2001
He's got one more game...or else it will be BROADHURST OUT!
Rodney at 15:57:47 Sunday October 7 2001
We're so shit its unbelievable!
Rodney at 15:56:24 Sunday October 7 2001
Another familiar scoreline today. We have not even managed to lose any of the nine league losses by a single goal. We are in danger of being down by Christmas.
Sid at 15:55:45 Sunday October 7 2001
Give KB his month and if we need Atkins then we can go and get him.
Sid at 15:54:15 Sunday October 7 2001
That's it - 2-0.
Sid at 15:53:52 Sunday October 7 2001
Hey Anon - don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking Broadhurst! We need to improve defensively a lot and Broadhurst will do that - I'm going to give him the month he deserves.
Anon at 15:52:31 Sunday October 7 2001

3 mates, a muslim, a hindu and a cobblers fan all check into a 5 star hotel
when they arive the receptionist explains there has been a mix up and that a room has only been booked for two. She tells them that out back is a old shed and one of them will have to kip in there
so the muslim offers very kind heartadly that he will sleep in the shed for the night. The cobblers fan and the hindu agree and make there way off to the room
about 10 minutes later they are just settling down for bed when they hear a knock at the door. The hindu gets up and is greeted by the muslim
muslim"I'M TERRIBLY SORRY BUT THERE IS A PIG IN THE BARN AND BECAUSE OF MY RELIGION I AM NOT PROHIBBITTED TO SLEEP WITH PIGS"
so the hindu very kind heartedly gives up his bed for the night and makes his way off to the barn.
About 5 minutes later when the hindu and the cobblers fan are settling down for bed there is a knock at the door. They both get up and open the door and suprise, suprise it's the hindu
hindu"I'M TERRIBLY SORRY BUT BECAUSE OF MY RELIGION I AM PROHIBBETED TO SLEEP WITH COWS"
the hindu and the muslim both turn round and look at the cobblers fan!
Cobblers fan"ALLRIGHT, ALLRIGHT I GUESS I'LL HAVE TO SLEEP IN THE BARN!!" and he reluctantly makes his way off to the barn
a few minutes later the muslim and the hindu are just settling down for bed when there is a knock at the door. They both leap up and rush to the door.
standing right infront of them is the cow and the pig!!!!!!!!!

Subs: Carruthers, Hargreaves, Hodge, Parkin, Sollitt. --------- What! No Asamoah?!?! Can't help feeling that the team seems a bit defensive, but lets see what happens!

Robert Dunkley at 22:46:43 Saturday October 6 2001
When Broads talks about wanting commitment, pride and passion from us tomorrow - he should show the boys a video of Beckham. Okay, none of our boys are in his class, but if the lads put as much effort in as Beckham we will improve. One of our players who has never given less than 100% for NTFC is Hargreaves, hopefully he will start tomorrow.
BTW Richard Green is virtually certain to miss the season at Richdale with a back injury - get well soon Richard.

They don't have much support either, not worth merging and taking a couple of million quids worth of debt on for a few thousand fans.

You seem to forget that Northampton hardly has a proud football tradition Anon.
Anon at 21:48:47 Saturday October 6 2001
Personally I think it would be a good idea for Northampton and Rushden to merge, because with the northampton support and max`s money
I think the club could go far.I think even diehard Rushden fans (if there are any )would have to admit that without any football credibility they are not going to progress very much further.Hence
Max pulling the plug on any more spending.It is interesting to see what Fulham have achieved with ample finance, but most of all proud
tradition.Something that Rushden have never had or ever will,and before you Rushden fans start the jealousy taunts,I must say that I am just a Football fan and totally neutral.

Must be that you lot are so jealous of the Cobbs and all our history that you try to belittle us.

I have it on good authority that when Northampton and Rushden are in the same division, they will be amalgamated to form Northants Diamonds.They have to wait until they are in the same division because when two clubs merge, they have to play at the level of the lesser club.I await with interest!

Be happy? I demand to see the Wobblers in the Conference, won't have to wait too long at this rate.

As far as I'm concerned the biggest game of the season is tomorrow. I really like being in the same division as Cambridge but I can honestly say I'd be happy to see Cobblers in the Conference.

The mayor was going to peterborough and a little boy said to his dad "i want to get noticed by the mayor, what shall i do?"
"that's easy son," said the dad "just wear your cobblers shirt."
so on the day the boy went to the town centre along with hundreds of others and wore his cobblers shirt. However the mayor totally ignored him and whispered something to a boy in a posh shirt.
The little boy was really upset, and his dad noticed the mayors next visit was to northampton. so the dad said to his son, "i'll buy you a posh shirt.that's bound to get you noticed."
Low and behold the mayor came up to the little boy and said "I thought i told you to feck off last time!"

The Poshie and the Cobbler, we'll call 'em BP AND DAV from here on in,
Dav and BP were next-door neighbours. The day before the local Derby they end up having a row about who's got the toughest fans, "we have" "no we have" oh here we go again fekking Abbingdon Park 1974, BP yells out.
BP suggests they settle this argument once and for all with a ball kicking competition Dav thinking he meant football, agreed.
He asked BP what were the rules and he was told, "First of all you spread your legs and I kick you in the balls, then we time how long you were on the ground. Then you kick me in the balls and time how long I'm down, and whoever is down the shortest length is the toughest!"
Dav agrees to the rules so he spreads his legs and waits. BP takes a huge run up and gives him a Jimmy Bullard in the nuts, DAV hits the floor; his face goes black, he cries so loud and so high that dogs come running. He is down for three hours before he can speak and two more before he stands.
When he finally composes himself he says, "OK, my turn."
BP laughs and walks off, saying<
ON SECOND THOUGHTS DAV, COBBLERS ARE THE TOUGHEST, Cya.

Barry Fry was driving away from London Rd after a recent home win. Fry had drunk a couple of celebratory vino rose and was in good humour. As he approached a pedestrian crossing in Rushden he noticed a couple of low life sporting the claret and shlte shirts starting to cross. Unfortunately TFO braked too late and collided with the pair. One of them span up through the windscreen of TFO's Jaguar and the other bounced off down the High Street rolling around in agony. PC Plod arrives and Fry explaines
"Sorry guv I didn't see them until it was too late".
The constable,being a good POSHIE fan says "Don't worry Mr Fry I'll book this one (pointing to the one embedded into the windscreen) for breaking and entering and I'll do the other asrehole for leaving the scene of the accident.

Jim, the Wobbler, is tired of being called stupid whenever he wears his Claret Shirt and he decides to leave it at home. When he goes out. On his travels through the countryside he happens upon a farmer with his flock of sheep.
Jim stops and says to the farmer, "If I can guess how many sheep you have, will you let me have one?"
The farmer says, "Sure".
Jim says, "112."
The farmer says, "That's incredible. You're exactly right."
As Jim is walking off with his prize, the farmer shouts back;
"Hey...if I can guess what football team you support, can I have my dog back?"

You should know that we tried talking sport on here, but all
the replies from cobblers were purile tripe as you put it. Guess where the
negativity came from then. At least you try to set a good example, I'll give you
that. Chris Lee is starting against Hartlepool tonight, you could always come
down and see if he is still as crap as you think he is.
A Childs View at 14:49:6 Friday October 5

Whoever you are you are a prat. The reality is that many
clubs in the football league are battling seriously with money issues. As a fan
of sport surely you should want all clubs to have a fair crack of the whip and
avoid going under? I'm not an R & D fan but I wouldn't want to see R & D
go under because I understand how their fans would hate that, they'd be
disenfranchised and have no club to support which would be terrible. Do you
really want that for Cobblers fans? Where does all your negativity come from?
Why don't you stop your pathetic crowing and start talking football if you want
to comment on here. Fans should support their own teams with passion and, as a
healthy emotion, exhibit a bit of sympathy with the fans of other clubs, not
spout the purile tripe detailed below.

Are all those comments below from the real DR4E? Surely not -
methinks people are having a laugh!!! Like I said previously, opposing teams
fans - from Pish, Diamonds or wherever should be welcomed on here provided
they've something sensible to say, if not, just stay away and let the rest of us
discuss our beloved Cobblers in peace. I'm looking forward to Sunday - attending
a best friends wedding in Wakefield on Saturday so I'll be able to catch the
game on the way back - how convenient! I'd suggest the team will be Welch,
Spedding, Burgess and Hope, with Hargreaves (because Broads doesn't like Frainy)
and Dempsey at wing-backs. Midfield will be Hunter, Hunt and Evatt with
Forrester and McGregor up front. The only difference to that line up could be
Parkin in place of McGregor. Expect 10 men behind the ball and trying to catch
the Pish on the break. We really need to get behind the lads on Sunday. Away
games don't get any bigger than this so lets give it some!! A rare chance to
stand on the terrace and have a jolly old sing song I say!!! Come on Jamie -
make this the game when you anounce your return. You remain the greatest and
after the Swindon game I'm convinced you'll get better service form the 532
system. Wingbacks and midfield simply push up to 30 yards from the Pish's goal
and play it to his feet - how hard can that be!!! Come on the Town - the
challenge is now set for the season and I'm quite looking forward to it!! We've
always struggled to avoid relegation for the second consecutive season so lets
buck the trend this time and stay up.

It doesnt take a genius, losses get higher and higher each

want to exist at a lower level, you might find the Conference suits you fine.

Perhaps R&D could kindly explain his insight into our
financial problems and explain why he says bankruptcy looks 'inevitable'. We may
be in a mess and we may have to cut our cloth according to our means even if
that does mean playing at a lower level but, 'inevitable'? I seem to remember it
being 'inevitable' before, but we are still here and I suspect we will always
remain so in some form or other.
DR4E at 13:46:15 Friday October 5

I never wished bankruptcy on you, but it looks inevitable at
the moment. As for replacements, you will be made to eat your words when
Forrester joins the DIAMONDS, the worlds worst kept secret. You might as well do
it because as long as he is wearing that Claret shirt he will still be unable to
score in a brothel. 75 grand is a fair price.

Two more players a being sold in the Direones car-boot sale

are doing their best to disband, as they don't appear to be replacing
anyone,unless you call Chris Lee a replacement.
Claudette at 13:30:29 Friday October 5
2001
This R&D stuff really is getting a bit (no, a lot)
tiresome. I can put up with a bit of banter but he is pushing it too far. To
wish us bankruptcy is just as low as it gets. OK, I support the Town first,
second and last but I certainly do not wish ANY other club bankruptcy. So we are
a bit financially pushed, but so are lots of oher clubs without a sugar-daddy
behind them. Football is an industry which is dependent on the survival of all
clubs in order to continue and all supporters should wish to see survival of
clubs not wish them of business. Still, I'm only a girl, what do I know?

A
belated note to comment on last Saturday. Whilst it wasn't a world beating
performance it WAS a lot better than most of what had gone before. The 5-3-2
formation worked because the players at last had a meaningful shape and team
patterm to work to. The ball was actualy played into the strikers' feet and for
the first time this season, Forrester looked as if he was enjoying himself. And
when things didn't turn, there was a meaningful tactical change and not just a
player swap. Biggest plus for me was that Broadhurst clearly knew what he wanted
and never stopped coaching the team from start to finish. And finally a word for
Spedding, who has his critics, but I thought he did well, particularly at centre
back where he didnt look out of place and was a damn sight faster than anyone
else there

well said paul s. atkins did well for us (in context)....but
eventually he got found out. the opposition just started sticking an extra man
in midfield and then we were stuffed (not that we used midfield to attack). when
we were in the 3rd we had some good wins (exeter, hull, cardiff etc) but there's
no point going back. somepeople have rose tinted spectacles and forget the likes
of mansfield, carlisle and chesterfield away. not to mention players like rennie
and wilkinson.
Paul S at 11:33:6 Thursday October 4

It seems rather bizarre that the opinions about Atkins seem
to fall into 2 diametericaly opposite camps. Yes of course he screwed up in the
end, injuries not withstanding, and he rather burnt his boats with the board so
it is unlikely that he will return (and I would say generally not a good idea to return to the scene of failure). I think that pastures new for all concerned is
the best solution. However there is no getting away from all he did for the
club. It may not have been pretty always but he gave us some success, some great
days out and starting from rock-bottom of the table. This is no mean feat and he
should be applauded for it. It is only due to him that our expectations are set
as high as they are. Thanks for the memories Ian and no thanks as the new
manager.

Kevan Broadhurst is well pleased with his new role of Acting
Manager at Northampton Town. He is also delighted with his new Club car, a top
of the range Jaguar, with all the trimmings that you come expect from such a
reputable brand. Kevan is so pleased with his new motor that he decides to
invite Cobbs chairman, Barry Stonhill, out for a spin around town in his new
gleaming vehicle. "This is top class Barry", says Kevan as they cruise steadily
through the hustle and bustle of the Friday afternoon traffic in the Town.
"Certainly is", replies Stonhill, "I quite fancy one of these beauties myself".
"What about the sound system Kevan, any good"? quips Stonhill. "Absolutely
amazing" replies Kevan, as they head out towards Thrapston. "Just listen to
this" beams Broadhurst. "POP" yells Kevan. Low and behold the radio switches on
and the sound of Atomic Kitten fills the twelve speakers of the gleaming Claret
beast. "Most impressive", purrs Stonhill. "CLASSICAL", says Kevan as he enters
the fast lane of the A14 touching close on 90 m.p.h.whilst barely straining the
engine at all. Pavarotti then graces the wonderful sound system. "Now that is
class", beams Stonhill, "I MUST have one tomorrow"!! Just a short distance
further along the A14, Kevan is warily eyeing another Hungarian lorry as it
somewhat dangerously makes it's way back to the port. Just as Kevan and Barry,
in the glorious Claret charger, move out to overtake our European friend, the
Hungarian donkey decides to pull out directly in their path. "C*NT" screams
Kevan as he slams his foot onto the brake pedal. once again the sound system
selects a new channel and out comes.............. "Good morning, this is Radio
Cambridgeshire and the Barry Fry football talk-in"

Back in 1986 I was a cycle courier in central london and
lived in New Cross.On Fridays we got paid by cheque and cashed it at the bank
ready for the weekend.One particular Friday I finished at 5pm and was at the pub
door waiting for them to open at 5.30.As I had had a strenuous day with little
to eat I was totally ratarsed by about 7.30 so I decided to lock my bike up at
Goodge street station and get the tube then over land from Charring cross
home,It seemed a simple enough task.After getting on the tube the next thing I
knew was there was some bloke looking up at me from outside the tubetrain
telling me to get off as the train was now in a siding in barnet (yes I went
north instead of south)The tubes were still running so I headed south for
Charring cross.The next thing I know is I am a little more sober and being
awoken by a BR guard telling me to wake up as the train is going no further .It
was about 1am Saturday and I was somewhere in deepest darkest Kent.The funny
thing was,when i went round to the front of the station there were 8 other lads
who had done exactly the same as me.I ended up getting a taxi back to New Cross
(kindly arranged by BR)It cost an absolute fortune,and that was after taking
money off two lads who got dropped off at Eltham on the way.I went on to sleep
through on the train on a number of occasions but that was the closest I ever
got to Dover.

Inbred fen dwellers will be out to truly nail us on Sunday. While we know that
our team has been doing it's best to really p!ss us off we now need to show what
we, the fans, can do. Remember last Christmas? 3000 plus Cobblers SCREAMING
their team onto victory, well more where this came from is needed NOW!!! Go on,
get on the phone, call all the lads up........don'k ask if they are going, TELL
THEM they are going. This is for the pride of our Town and our County, we cannot
and must not let our team and indeed ourselves down. Fukk the Posh!!!!!

Anon - the only people who are 'heavily linking' Atkins with
Northampton Town are a few odd idiots on this message board. He was sacked last
time for getting us relegated and threatening us with Conference footy. Anyone
who says different is wearing rose-tinted specs. I didn't think he stepped down
at Cardiff - got the boot is more the truth.

I still say that anyone doing a job for what he would get for not doing it is

perhaps we can keep KB until we've paid the old debt off, get Atkins on the same
deal, get Wilkinson back for nothing(still too much!) and save enough for a good
midfielder. Meanwhile, I'm going to see if I can get another car for the money I
still owe on the old one. This could really catch on.

It was the report on the 'football tax' enquiry. The District
Auditor has ruled that the Council will not be prosecuted for using up to
£400000 a year to help with the day-to-day running of the Cobbs. The agreement
they have will run for 25 years and will, therefore, total £10 million. So much
for the 'tight fisted' council that won't expand Sixfields! (The Sixfields that
isn't anywhere near filled at present.)

I've secured another win for the Duston Barnstormers in the morning). If these
two weren't bad enough we have the road works around Wellingboro to negotiate

But a diamond must also be polished to keep its shine. That's

in his own right, but it had to be changed.

Dave Bassett is on his way to Cardiff unless we act very

as manager of Cardiff City, Dave Bassett has told planetfootball.com that he
would be quite happy to consider a move to South Wales. Bassett: "I've always
said that I'd love to get back into football but it's got to be a job which is
right for me. It has to be a challenge and something that is worth it
personally." So come on Mr Stonhill, make him an offer he can't refuse and we'll
be in the First Division in a couple of years.

Hi Drilling - so 5-3-2 it was the but with Sped as the other
centre back! Actually I don't agree that Evatt is a centre back, he looks much
more effective in central midfield. I'd rather see him intercepting passes in
midfield and turning defence into attack than trying to clear the ball from our
own goal line.

i feel a bit sorry for ian atkins, he always seemed to get
dumped by clubs but then again we all know exactly what to expect if he
returned.

success

Right everybody lets fill up the Moyes end again this Sunday
- a paltry 1000 or so tickets have been sold so far, we need to really get
behind the lads and scream them on to victory - tell every Cobbs fan you know to
get over there and show Pish what real support is like.

PS there is a bloke who supports the Cobblers who is Ian
Atkins double. Look out for him in the West Stand.

I think the Anon who keeps calling for Atkins' return is his
son. If he has left Cardiff tis probably because he was shagging a commercial
assistant.

I learnt something on Saturday - 532 can give you more
attacking width than 442 if played properly. Forget the 1st half - that was all
about reaching 45 minutes without conceding. However, second half, notice the
difference in Jamie's performance - all caused by the fact that we had
wing-backs who were only 15/20 yards from Jamie and could play it into his feet.
The chances he had were like those he used to score with - he'll definitely come
good again. 50% of his goals were from balls to his feet, the other 50% will be
catered for if we sign Brett Angell who, I'm sure you remember, was awesome
against us last season. He'll score a few himself and knock down plenty for
others. I'm convinced Jamie will be back and start scoring again over the next
few games - mark these words. I was also pleased to see Hodgy used in the right
way, he's not a 90 minute player, but for the last thirty of a match he can be
deadly. He remains the best crosser of the ball at the club. The game against
Orient 2 seasons ago showed the way with Hodgy - lets just use him as first sub
every game. Interesting stuff about the captaincy - I'd give it to Roy, however,
I still think Frainy should be first choice left back above Spedding. However,
we should convert Hargreaves to left wing-back again if we continue with 532,
especially whilst Evatt is here. Can we keep him for the season and send Parkin
back please Mr Stonhill?? What's the latest on Sammo - anyone know when he may
be back? Things look a little brighter but its still early days. Kevan does talk
sense though - which makes a refreshing change!! One final point - Atkins - stay
away from our club!! Thanks for the good times but we don't want you back -
EVER!!!

NO! NO! NO! we will not have Atkins back he may be very good
with defence and getting teams out of trouble (except Chester) but his style is
2 dimensional and predictable, and other sides don't take long to work him out
anymore.My only fear about Kevan is that on Saturday players were backing off to
the edge of the penalty area with the goals Bullard is scoring for pooboro that
guarantees us a loss

HE'S COMING BACK!
MK Cobbler at 19:42:10 Monday October 1

The chances of Atkins coming back are remote. Our very own
TCMP (remember him?) claimed to be a prime mover in his departure and he still
is a director. Also there is a hard core of supporters who are against Atkins
and this is not the time for controversial appointments. I hope and I am hopeful
that Broadhurst will get the job. Read Roy Hunter's comments today and you can
see that the professionals rate him. But a month and a tough one at that is
hardly the basis on which to judge KB.

DB - I think most Leicester fans would gladly give Steve
Howard a chance in place of Trevor Benjamin or Akinbiyi! He might even score a
goal or two!
Anon at 18:26:2 Monday October 1

In the honours section of his CV Ian Atkins has won exactly
the same as Peter Taylor - promotion via the play-offs and that's it. Puts it
into perspective. Also being England U21 manager counts for little, it is not
the same as club management. Look at David Platt, most Forest fans wanted him
out and say things are much better now Paul Hart has taken over.

I would have to agree with the fact that Peter Taylor's buys
have been terrible. I cant think of one Leicester player that you would call
'exciting', and they are the only team I can think of without one.

Never have a manager back for a second spell it's the kiss of
death, name me a manager who has done it second time round
Anon at 15:23:46 Monday October 1
2001
Even in the bad times Alex Ferguson never lost something like
15 games out of 18 with 2 draws and 1 win. As for making money back who would
pay £5million for Akinbiyi now? If the players did not try hard enough then you
have to get a manager in who will make them try (never happened under O'Neill
did it?). Fair enough Lennon was sold from under his feet but who would try and
replace him with Dennis Wise and Junior Lewis?
DB at 14:55:56 Monday October 1
2001
dear Anon salt and pepper on standby, you'll be eating them
words one day, OH by the way the players have put up their hands and said they
did not try hard enough, and who sanctions the the buying of players you know
MONEY spent, let me see is it the fans?no is it the press? no, perhaps the the
players No!! its the board isnt it and did he not try his hardest from losing
his star players, I agree with him that if the players he bought were put for
sale they would sell and make their money back I noticed that he never came in
for steve howard, any way how many times have you been caretaker manager of
England and beat he Italians at your first attempt
DB at 14:42:22 Monday October 1
2001
Dear anon. how does that make him a bad manager, because if
that is the case then so was Sir Alex when he took the reigns at old trafford he
was about to be sacked when he first went there after a string of POOR results
and we all know what happened after
Anon at 14:25:57 Monday October 1

Taylor put himself under pressure when his team lost 9 out of
its final 10 games last season. I guess that did not do much for team morale.
The truth is Taylor bought badly and could not turn a bad situation around which
he created for himself. Its nice to see him being dignified about his sacking
but at the end of the day he had his chance and blew it.

Peter Taylor has
just gone on record to say that he is looking to go straight back to work after
his sacking as manager of the foxes,At the end of the Q&A's the press
applauded him, I for one have never heard that before,The foxes must be
blinkered,arrogant,and down right stupid to bow to the presure of the press
reports and so called supporters group, Every report that you hear after every
match this season the word was that he was going to be sacked ,That must have
done wonders for team moral,Who needs enemies with the media at your throat
looking for a story. Peter the people of Northampton Town would welcome you with
open arms, the only exception being the board, because nobody here understands
the way they work.Have you ever considered buying your own club Mr Taylor, ours
is for sale.

I'm so sorry I was rude to all you travelling fans when you
were at Cardiff a fortnight ago. I really did not mean to clench my fist in
sheer delight at the two very dubious penalties given to Cardiff nor to mouth
obsenities in your direction at the final whistle nor to wave my fingers in the
general direction of your directors. I also did not mean to stand there smiling
when Marsh hobbled off, I was only trying to find out if he needed any
assistance. I really thought you played very well and were exceedingly unlucky
not to get a result. Now that has cleared up all the misunderstandings of my
behaviour that evening I am so looking forward to being welcomed back into the
bosom of your hearts.
Anon at 13:19:9 Monday October 1

Cardiff have confirmed assistant manager Ian Atkins has left
the club, increasing speculation he could make a surprise return to Northampton.
Atkins was in charge at Sixfields prior to the appointment of Kevin Wilson in
1999. Former Chelsea star Wilson was sacked last week after a poor start to the
season. "The club regrets to announce they will be parting company with Ian
Atkins. The only importance to stress here, is this is no reflection on Ian's
contribution and ability in any way," is Cardiff's official line.
Vince at 13:3:19 Monday October 1

I don't think that Atkins is still receiving payments from
NTFC as his contract would have expired at the end of last season. However at
one point he was reported to be receiving payments from Northampton, Chester and
Carlisle. Presumably he was on some sort of contract at Cardiff which they will
have to settle and there is no need for him to seek employment at Sixfields.
Apart from that I can't see the club wanting him back particularly after the
remarks he made in the Express. I hope that Broadhurst can make a success of the
job as he seems to have the respect of the players and a very good knowledge of
the game.

So Atkins is out of a job again. PLEASE, PLEASE,
PLEASE don't ask him to come back here. Do we really want to go back to his
boring one dimensional style of football. Give Kevan a good run and things can
only get better, starting at sh*tboro on Sunday. Until I know for sure that
Atkins is tied up with another club, I'm a worried man.

lee colkin or ali gibb were the worst cobblers players, oh

Just to remind you all to leave early on
Sunday, due to the Roadworks on the A45 between Wellingborough & Thrapston.
Also if you are coming via the A43/A47, BEWARE of the speed camera's at the
A47/A1 Junction at Wansford. You cannot access the A1 from the A47 nor vice
versa due to roundabout construction work. As far as I know, there shouldn't be
any problems road wise here in Shiteboro'. COME ON YOU COBBLERS, let's have a
repeat of last years result.......

Why insult the players Mal? Dempsey is 20 now and has surely
known the job of a right back for a while, as he is a professional right back.
Mal at 11:26:6 Monday October 1 2001
I
thought what a great game Dempsey had on Saturday. It seems for the first time
he understood where he was supposed to be playing.

ATKINS at 0:23:8 Monday October 1

Well I guess you've all heard by now. But just in case, I've
been sacked by Cardiff. Their fans have been moaning about our long ball game,
which seems to be down to me, but you lot will know all about that won't you.
Still I'm looking for a job now so watch out KB, I'm after your job!!
