It's All Cobblers To Me

This week Charles, Danny and Chessie look back at The Cobblers' exciting 1-1 draw at home to league leaders, Forest Green Rovers. Northampton 1-1 Forest GreenTop of the table clashes don't usually need much to get the crowd going. Two teams at the right end of the table, meeting in a crunch match tend to get football fans excited anyway. So throw in a ridiculous goal that never crossed the line, players feigning fouls and a 95th minute equaliser and you've got a rip-roaring game that...

In November 2021, MP Tracey Crouch released her review into the governance of English football. While many Premier League chairmen and CEO's came out against the review and the suggestions it put forward, NTFC Chairman, Kelvin Thomas was supportive of the majority of the report. In this special episode of the award-winning Cobblers podcast, Kelvin Thomas joins Danny and Charles to talk about why he supports the Tracey Crouch Report and answers some extra questions about his ownership of...

Two defeats on the bounce have left Cobblers fans feeling pretty glum. But is there hope in the air? Northampton Town 0-1 Crawley TownNot the result, or performance we were expecting but maybe it provides a little kick up the bum that we seem to need every now and again. Chessie has a rant about our new signing not starting, the way we played and Ali Koiki being subbed, of course! We chat about Zimba's impact, what we need to happen during the rest of the transfer window and why Saturday's...

Just like the Cobblers, Charles, Danny and Chessie are back to talk all things Northampton Town as a new year dawns on the world. On this week's episode: Swindon Town 5-2 Northampton TownI think it's fair to say that none of us saw that result coming. Especially after John Guthrie put the Cobblers ahead on 50 minutes. Should we be embarrassed by the performance and ultimately, the result though? Did the enforced winter break over Christmas do the Cobblers more harm than good? Just what do we...

With the last two games having been called off and now the away trip to Scunthorpe also curtailed, we decided not to bring you a proper episode this week. We hope you don't mind.

A slightly different episode this week as first we join Charles at Harpole Playing Fields where NTFC Women are taking on Notts County and then we're in the pub with Charles, Neil and Fan Club member, Mike Fuller. Northampton Town WomenWhile we have been huge champions of the Cobblers' women's team for the last couple of years, we've not that often managed to get to see them play live. On Sunday, Charles popped over to Harpole to witness the team's return to league action. James Wiles...

The whole podcast gang are together for a whole lotta fun and a great big chat about all things Northampton Town Football Club. 6 Points On The RoadThe wins away at Exeter and Harrogate have made us giddy and poor Neil doesn't know what's happened to us! Every time questions are asked about Jon Brady's side, they are answered emphatically with a show of complete togetherness and unity. Brady has got the Cobblers playing his way, which is incredibly efficient where every player knows and...

The men may have had a break from playing this weekend but that doesn't mean there was any less excitement for Charles, Danny and Chessie to look back on. Plus we announce our first Christmas fundraiser. Christmas Fundraiser AnnouncedThis year we’re raising money for Weston Favell Food Bank.

It's the morning after the night before where we won an award! Welcome to Club Podcast of the Year, It's All Cobblers To Me! Don't worry, we don't go on about it too much on this episode. Only kidding, of course we do! Hear how it all went down in London Town on Monday night and just how tightly he held onto the award all the way home on the train. Northampton Town 1-0 Leyton OrientThe Cobblers saw off Kenny Jackett's Orient despite being without John Guthrie, Sean McWilliams and a first...

Old or young, we all agree that Northampton Town is really where it all started, Ivan. Bradford 1-1 Northampton TownIt's difficult to talk about the game at Valley Parade on Saturday without mentioning the performance of the referee. It's possibly the worst official we've had this season and it really wound Charles up. Still, after losing Kion Etete to a swing of the arm that Quest's TV pundit duo seem to think was nothing more than a natural movement, Mitch Pinnock sprinted the length of...

If Danny and Chessie wrote Trip Advisor reviews, they wouldn't not be pretty. Unless they're about award decision making panels of course! Bristol Rovers 2-1 Northampton TownThe Cobblers were hoping to get back on track after last week's FA Cup draw to Cambridge but relenquished their 4 game winning run with defeat to Joey Barton's Gas. Sam Hoskins scored a penalty to give the Cobblers a 1-0 lead at half time but two terrible moments of defending saw Rovers take all 3 points and knock the...

Northampton Town 2-2 Cambridge UnitedThe Cobblers were pegged back twice as Cambridge escaped with a replay in the FA Cup at Sixfields. Goals from Kion Etete and Paul Lewis helped give the atmosphere a true cup game vibe but Brady's Boys weren't quite able to hold on. Still, it's a positive result and another game without defeat to keep the run going for the first team. The East StandPerhaps we should be coming up with a new name for this flipping side of the stadium. The words East and...

Northampton Town 3-0 Carlisle UnitedThe Cobblers are on a roll after yet another win. This time at home to the Cumbrians of Carlisle United. Paul Lewis bagged a hat-trick to send Charles and the rest of his doubters into a spin. Although his gif game could do with improvement. Ali Koiki had a great defensive display but Azza McGazza limped off with an injury that he's apparently been playing with since the defeat to Sutton United. Dominic Revan came on to deputise well and helped the...

Tranmere Rovers 0-2 Northampton TownHaving beaten Stevenage at Sixfields in midweek, the Cobblers made the journey up to the North West to face a Tranmere side who sat 5th in the table and held the record for the most clean sheets in the entirety of English professional football this season. After 45 minutes of sizing each other up, The Cobblers came out of the traps with a purpose after half time and quickly seized the initiative through a Kion Etete strike before Paul Lewis was felled by...

How many phases have to be played after a set piece for a goal to be considered as having come from open play? All the important questions asked on this week's podcast for fans of Northampton Town. Northampton Town 2-0 Mansfield TownJon Brady's Northampton got back to winning ways by beating struggling Mansfield Town on Saturday and that means the podcast team are in a jubilant mood. From a terrible kick off to having a penalty decision overturned, you'd think that Mansfield had caught a...

Do you remember a couple of weeks ago when we almost went 2nd? Seems like a lifetime ago doesn't it? This week we're trying to remain positive but the result against Hartlepool has certainly made it difficult. Charles, Danny and Chessie talk about how confidence could solve everything, how to solve a problem like Etete and are we really as bad as we felt we are after the full time whistle on Saturday? _____ Hosted by Charles Commins, Chessie Coleman, Neil Egerton-Scott and Danny Brothers....
