Sadly, it just wasn't to be for the Lads despite our magnificent season. Luton were simply a little too strong for us and a second Wembley appearance in a row was a goal too far out of our reach. But this doesn't feel like sadness - it isn't the end, but a start. Me and Dave join to smile, laugh - and cry just a little in our final review show of the season. Enjoyed the episode?

Have you got your head around it yet? It seems like only yesterday we were celebrating our last gasp play off spot at Deepdale and now the day is almost here. Luton have been secured the lottery of the play offs for quite a while of course, but in a game that is almost certain to be tight, we invited the always excellent Dave Gregory from Luton Town podcast Oh When The Town to get the opposition v...

One game to go - or four games to go? Let's hope it is the latter as the Lads have one final chomp at the play offs.

We grabbed PNE fan and Lancashire Post's PNE writer Tom Sandells to give us the lowdown on their their season, Ryan Lowe and just what we can expect this...

We can still do this. Believe! Without Patrick Robert's 95th minute equaliser though, we probably couldn't. Alas, PR10 scored when it mattered the most and we take it to the final day.

Unexpected win followed by frustrating loss - one week of normal Sunderland is all we ask and it will never happen. Like ourselves, this week's opponents saw their manager leave for a team in red and white stripes earlier in the season, however, Luton do not appear to have been affected by it at all. With five away wins in eight, are we facing another difficult task this week? To let us know is th...
