Indeed, the only way you can make it fairer is to do away with the playoffs and have a straight top 2/3/4 promoted.

With byes and home advantage for 2nd & third placed clubs the NLN/S is probably fairer than most divisions.

I mean, have you seen the shitshow they have in Scotland?

[Northumbiron]

To be fair, The Sun have quite a bit of “previous”.

Scunthorpe, the new Liverpool?

Tamworth finished in the top half of the table after promotion, so there’s no reason why we can’t match that.

Yes this season’s home and away have been belters.

Unlike the third strip which was minging!

I doubt very much if he would have been sacked.

Yes, I concur with CT.

The important thing is that he sounded like he was aware of the criticism of the system and learned to adapt.

And that can only be a good thing.

When S*earer signed for Newcastle part of his demands were that he got the No.9 shirt, was made captain and took all the penalties.

Much to the amusement of Les Ferdinand who happily took the No.10.

Is Campbell good enough for NL?

[Northumbiron]

Yes Deerey, my mate was there. I hope he didn’t leave on 85 minutes like he does at SoL!

Texted me to say “2007 all over again?”. Not quite but I get the sentiment.

No doubt the Mackems will be odds on favourites for a swift return to the Championship, but it’s worth it just to shut the Mags up about being Wembley winners!

Funny that, because I watched the Europa League Final and the football on show was shite!

So not so much about the level you’re at as how you perform on the day.

If AB can put together a team that will go out there and fight for the shirt and each other we’ll be fine. The problem we had during our rapid demise was too many players not putting in a shift.

[Northumbiron]

Trophyless Manchester. Who’d have thunk it?

[Northumbiron]

Looking back to last summer that there kit launch was truly prophetic!

[Northumbiron]

When South Shields went full time there were a couple of players (don’t remember who) that wouldn’t give up their jobs.

I know one went to Spennymoor, not sure about the other(s).

[Northumbiron]

Same people who say that he’s definitely leaving the club?

[Northumbiron]

Bringing back chip buttys would be a start.

[Northumbiron]

Robert’s and Whitehall feeling the love!

Would that perhaps tempt them to stay?

[Northumbiron]

He was jumping up and down spraying the champagne* freely enough on Sunday!

*given our financial situation probably Prosecco.

[Northumbiron]

You stole my thunder WG. Blackett would be a good signing. Glen Taylor at Spennymoor has been prolific but he’s 35 now.

Don’t agree re: Storer DSGM. Seen a few of Chester’s other games with my mate this season and he’s looked a bit shaky at times.

Let’s see if Mick’s as comfortable predicting NLP scores as he was with NLN.

Weekly Rene. Usually The Iron’s fixture plus four more.

Big thanks to SST for organising the competition. I’ll be signing up for next year as and when.

We ain’t keeping hold of Fitz. I think a deal has already been done.

Is Clunan too lightweight for NLP? I would argue that we need a bit of steel in midfield next season.

Happy to keep Maxi, Evans and Alfie plus another experienced CB. Will be an interesting couple of months ahead.

[Northumbiron]

NWI seems to have gone missing.
