I think KT would like the fans to think he is just the front man but I think he is actually the money as well - which is why there isn't much of it

Rotherham now 21 points from safety with 27 to play for and it's just a matter of time until they're mathematically confirmed as being a League One side for next season.
Realistically it would be a huge shock if any of the current midtable sides - Cobblers, Wimbledon, Charlton, Rochdale and Peterborough - weren't also playing in this league next campaign.
Doncaster 14 points clear of 4th with 30 points to play for in League Two, virtually promoted.
I admire your optimism at suddenly calling us mid table. We could very easily only pick up a couple more points this season and go down as could any of the others you mention. It would not be a 'huge shock' - a huge shock is Lincoln winning the FA Cup - nobody would give a fk outside of those towns and quite a few living there as well.

History is on our side we have been in Div 2(old) for 3 years and L1(old) for 1 year. Of course this happened a long time ago but still within living memory; a few astute signings will see us climb the leagues again . One other thing can you tell me this Sat winning lottery numbers as you seem very confident in predicting the future. Thanks. No comments please Marquis The key to the future is in the past; i.e. sh1t usually stays looking very similar to sh1t unless you roll it in glitter

To be honest there are still a few away grounds I haven't been to in League 2. Forest Green and Dover would be nice away days. And as I pointed out to you youngsters some months ago, we're gonna be in League 1,2 or the National for the rest of your lives so get used to it.

Great game last night and I felt England were very unlucky. The pace, skill and tenacity on display would easily rival most Championship teams.
Jordan Nobbings goal was world class. Surely it's only a matter of time before women play on an equal footing in the football pyramid.

If you take our results against the teams in the top half of the table before Saturdays games and divide them by the amount of games played by those teams in total, and then divide it by the points gained by us against teams in the bottom half before Page was sacked, it gives you a far bigger implied variation compared to if you take all points gained by JED divided by the total points accumulated by those same teams. Using that data in two absolute Monte Carlo simulations to calculate the delta from the most probable outcome, you get Page finishing the season on 57 points (+/- 3.8 points) and JED finishing on 53 (+/- 7.3 points). The bigger margin of error for JED is simply the smaller sample size. If you normalise the sample size you get Page on 57 still and JED on 56 - arguably too close to call!

There is something about your grammar leads me to believe you are not at university. I would advise people not to complete your "survey" let alone share it with friends and family members.
The vast majority of people under 28 have no traditional grammar or spelling skills and arguably why should they? I understood what he meant. Maybe some slight dyslexia. And survey monkey is a well known site, its not like its a link to a Nigerian specialist brothel.

Oh come on, Northampton isn't THAT bad is it? I mean it could be worse we could be Peterborough or Poxford.....and we are at least half a stand better than them!
Oxford is a world renowned university city known for its gleaming spires. Peterborough is a centre of commerce for the Fens and a major transport hub. Northampton has a branch of Screwfix.

We have the highest % of fans that only go to away games and don't venture anywhere near the home ground.
This is widely interpreted as being due to Northampton being a s***hole and Sixfields offering an experience similar to minor dental surgery.

I was idly walking back to my seat last Saturday, minding my own business. I had just stopped to exchange some pleasantries with some fellow supporters when I heard an almighty whoooosh and felt an insistent stabbing pain in my behind. I turned to see a flurry of blue smoke billowing from my back passage and was hit by a burning sensation at the same time.
I thrashed around quietly, more embarrassed that anything, until a young PC called Nigel (thats all I remember) gently took my arm and ushered me into trap three of the toilets.
Gently but firmly he removed my jeans and grasped the smoking blue rod protruding from my backside. The relief was almost spiritual but to my surprise PC Nige almost instantly reinserted the object, before removing it, more slowly this time.
He placed a fat finger on my lips to hush my protests, and slowly inched the hot beast further into my now almost invitingly twitching hole. Before I could say Adebayo Akinfenwa I was being transported to the clouds of ecstasy above Sixfields, barely visible through my teary blurred eyes.
I came back to earth, a shaking man, who before was only a boy. Before I could mutter my thanks PC Nigel's radio spluttered into life, as he was called to the front of the West Stand to look at some aggro.
I literally had a few minutes to knock one out before the final whistle. If anyone has Nigels phone number or Instagram please PM me.

I can't see us signing anyone like this when we have Revell and Richards who are probably 2 of our higher earners. Sign a third and it's likely that 2 of the three will be warming the bench every week, wouldn't be best use of any budget we might have.
How much do you think Wycombe would want to let him go, can't see them accepting a nominal fee for him, why would they?
I would like to see us start the bidding at £175,000. I reckon we could stretch to £200,000 off the back of increased shirt sales, maybe even a tie-in with the Beast Mode brand

For any fellow LGBTIQ fans, I would heartily recommend Pink Punters in Bletchley. I'm going there at half ten for a chocolate sandwich followed by a quick shower, then straight to the game, literally smelling of roses.
