Anyone feel sorry for Northampton?

[throbinson]

NO!

Agree

 

[Don Tmatter]

Any club who employs Stuart Gray as their manager can expect relegation at some stage.

I wouldn't be disappointed if we signed their defender Jason Crowe (right or left back - can't remember) he's always had a good game against us.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Getting relegated when they started the day with a goal difference of only -1.

Yup, absolutely GUTTED for them

 

[fire&skill]

No

Even less so for Crewe who had the temerity to beat us 4-0 not so long ago

Bastards

 

[Tristram Fourmile]

f*** no.

 

[Tubby Mondays]

Dabbzy comes with us to watch the Albion and is an honourary Brighton fan.

[Stoo82]

only those who deserve to go down, go down. so no.

 

[NF9]

f*** Northampton in a Relegation battle you must be ruthless and take no prisoners!

 

[RM-Taylor]

Stood at the top of the East Stand at Elland Road, and the Northampton fans all started going crazy, jumping up and down and hugging each other, shouting "1-0, 1-0" before realising they got it the wrong way round. What a sight

If the search facility was available, I'd be able to dredge up my prediction WEEKS AGO that Northampton would go down.

I think it's come as a bit of a shock to them, though ... rather like Hereford in 1997, the possibility of relegation never crossed their minds until it was too late.

At least we had WEEKS to realise that a turn-round in form was needed.

Well I can't offer such sage like predictions, but the consensus down the Duke Of Wellington prior to the match was that Northampton would go down. What a choker, they needed 1 point from their last 2 matches, and didn't get it.

Northampton - Last 10 matches LDLLLWDWLL - 8 points
Brighton -Last 10 Matches LDLWLWWWDW - 17 points

So they had 41 points as at 21st March (we only had 35), and they only managed another 8 points!

Curiously ... in March, hardly anyone predicted the collapse of Crewe's fortunes.

 

[Shinbreath]

Couldn't give a flying Fu*k.... All that matters is that we are still in League 1....

They have never managed more then 4 season out of the basement division. I think that in itself speaks volumes of the level of football they play and aspire to.

Are you sure ? Do you mean 4 successive seasons or ' in total ' ?
In the 60's they climbed from the basement to the top division and then fell all the way back again. That in itself was a minimum of 6 seasons out of the basement but from memory was 8 or 9.
Sorry to be pedantic but facts are facts.
