| "Diana County my arse!" |
With the Cobblers only 2 points north of league trips to Nonce Park and Rocky Road next season, Gary Johnson has finally blown his cool with the Rose of the Shires.
Speaking exclusively to PATGOD, probably because we're the only people still alive to have written about a Gary Johnson Northamptonshire win, he bemoaned his lack of luck within the County.
"I've been successful with Yeovil, Bristol City, and even bloody Latvia, but as soon as I cross into f*cking Northants, everything turns to sh*t!"
No one can argue with that assessment when considering his spell at the Poppies. Few will forget the hellish end to the 1995-6 season and our 8 straight defeats, culminating in a couple of 6-goal thumpings. The (thankfully) last day of the season saw even a crap Stalybridge Celtic gleefully running in the half dozen. Gary somehow hung onto his job over the summer, but a couple of months into the new season he gratefully accepted the sack, with his record for 1996-7 reading P14, W3, D4, L7.
Now, after some 15 years of success, he dared to venture back into the County of Spires and Squires. And guess what? Nothing has changed!
He still can't buy a win, and the Cobblers are circling the Football League plug-hole. 8 games have yielded just 3 points, and a million excuses.
Hopefully his CV will be in order for his forthcoming stint at the Direones.
