I think all you septics should become honourary Northampton Town fans for our 4th Round ties against Man U. We could open a new market, shift a few shirts stateside, and before you know it we'd be a bonefide Premiership outfit ready to take on the world! So come on, you dandy-doodles, get behind the mighty Cobblers. I wan't to see all 230 million on you become members of the Claret Army before this weekend. I've already got a lot of the BBC boys on my side.

You need to not mind standing in freezing condition watching some of the worst footy you've ever seen with nothing but a cup of glucky Bovril for comfort, by the way. The Bovril will always be too hot, no matter how long you leave it, and it will burn your tongue every single time. Also, you must adopt an irrational hatred for Rushden and Diamonds and Kettering Town. So, what do you say?

I mean fourth round TIE. You only have to watch one game. Unless we squeeze a replay out of them and get a day out at Old Trafford.

I for one will be supporting your lot against Manure. Now tell us about Northampton heroes past and present.

Bollocks to these Northampton imbeciles. They aren't even sure whether they're in the Midlands or not. Plus, they tried to buy the Third Division by shelling out money for such international class players as Martin Smith. Down with moneybags Northampton!

No, what you want to do is support the Pirates in this year's FA Cup. We aren't even in it anymore, so that spares you the inconvenience of having to go to any games at all. Also, you get to support the same club as disgraced Lord Jeffrey Archer. Now that's my kind of club.

One of the World's thinnest books that - can you just imagine a final between Scarborough and Northampton (both smelly northerners) - you wouldn't fill one end of the Millenium stadium?

You'd sell a lot of clothes pegs though!

Northampton are a disgrace - they have doubled the price of tickets, so their poor, country-bumpkin fans cannot afford to go - all hail the mighty Manure, who will score 6!!!

Mr.Healinghands,

Who would you prefer to win out of Northampton Town and Man Utd this coming Sunday?

Now there's a question. Whilst both teams are, of course, morally indefensible, Northampton Town may just pip it. However, after the match, all Cobblers players should be given a suspension for celebrating too ostentatiously.

If the cobblers do indeed win, do you not think that the suspension may be a little too harsh on the players?

Will they not merit a few days on the lash, going out into nearby Kettering raping and pilaging all the local girls and shopkeepers?

Dude, I've been a Northampton Town supporter ever since the days of Championship Manager 2, not just some Johnny-come-lately. ;)

Ahhh, Northampton heroes. Peter Gleasure between the sticks, being derided by his own fans, Gabbiadini up front, John Frain and his magic free kicks, Jamie Forrester bearing down on goal. Errr.... that's about it. I reckon the young lad Asamoah might bag one against Manure before moving on to pastures new.
