Things can only get better?

My most recent contribution to The Two Unfortunates - about football and so-called "failing" towns - might be focused on other clubs (the Smogs and Hartlepool among them), but it does include some reflections on Newcastle fans' responses to the Ronny Gill's recent question as to what the club means, so might be of interest.

On a related note, and if you'll excuse the trumpet-blowing, the site has been nominated in two different categories in this year's Football Supporters' Federation awards - so, if you think it would be deserved, your vote would be very welcome.
