Northampton are not only incapable of keeping the ball on the
pitch but are clearly equally incapable of keeping water off it.
According to Radio WM the game is off, then on and finally off at around 10:45. Perhaps NTFC should concentrate more on the
football side of things and less on annoying just about everyone.
League leaders and promotion rivals (now it’s
been a while since I’ve been able to say that!) Fulham take a spanking at Maine
Road as Manchester City enjoy a good day, winning 3 - 0. Although the result damages Fulham it’s a
bit of a mixed blessing for us because defeat today and next Saturday at Bescot
would arguably have left City with far too much to do and effectively ended their
interest in this campaign.
Had they returned zero points from today and next week it would have left
them requiring seventeen points to catch Fulham and fifteen behind us. Conversely, combining today's game with a win at Bescot next
weekend would leave them nine behind the Londoners and seven to make up on
us, which is obviously a very different story. Whether we need to win or avoid defeat is open to debate however the one this we can be sure of is that next Saturday is absolutely massive and Bescot will be bursting at it's seams.
As an added bonus Chelsea win in injury time
at home to Coventry and ensure that the vile can’t retake top spot on Monday
night when they take on the hapless Everton Nil live on Sky.
