Football FanCast columnist Shaun Murphy looks at the trials and tribulations of Darlington and wonders if they are finally set to fulfil their promise.

It's no real surprise to see Darlington topping the League Two table at this early stage of this season. After all, we've been here before - a promising start only to see the Quakers fall at the final hurdle in such frustrating fashion.

Football FanCast Shaun Murphy looks at the latest rough diamond that is being polished at Barnet.

Over the years Barnet have produced their fair share of talent. Given their obvious lack of resources compared to the rest of the league, signing promising young talent has been crucial to the team's progress, and the likes of Nicky Bailey, Dean Sinclair, and Jason Puncheon have all developed at Underhill before moving onto pastures new.

Football FanCast columnist Ben Curtis takes a look back at yesterday's League Two action.

On a day where bookings outnumbered goals in League Two, it was Wycombe - the team that did the opposite - who pigeon-stepped their way to the top of the table.

Football FanCast columnist Ben Curtis takes a look back at the weekend's League Two action.

Bury and Wycombe remain arm-in-arm at the top of League Two after the teams played out a 0-0 draw at Gigg Lane on Saturday. Wycombe captain David McCraken's second-half header was adjudged not to have crossed the line, leaving Wanderers' boss Peter Taylor petitioning for an introduction of goal-line technology. "Their goalkeeper said it crossed the line but the linesman told me he didn't see it so I'm disappointed in that respect," Taylor told wwfc.com after the game.

Football FanCast columnist Rob Facey wonders what Newcastle can do to stop the rot from setting in after news that Michael Owen is in no hurry to sign a new contract, despite just one more year remaining on his current deal.

When Michael Owen joined Newcastle from Madrid he had been holding out for an emotional return to Anfield. He wanted to rejoin the club who let him fulfill his dreams of playing in Europe but Liverpool and Real were unable to agree a fee. Then, Newcastle stepped in.

Football FanCast columnist Sam Hollis is furious at the punishment handed out by the FA, to his beloved Luton Town and feels that something doesn't quite add up.

‘The Gentleman's Club.' Fine men in suits, smoking cigars and drinking the finest cognac, every so often they all share a chuckle at light joke then continue to debate issues close to heart. However you picture the scene at FA headquarters, there is no doubt the association has the ability to turn heads.

Football FanCast columnist Charlie Gilbert gives his weekend round-up from League One which sees Swansea crowned champions.

Swansea were crowned League One champions on Saturday despite a 2-1 home defeat to struggling Yeovil. Over 18,000 fans joined the party at the Liberty Stadium - but things didn't get off to the best start for the Swans, who went behind to Terry Skiverton's first half goal. The visitor's doubled their lead after 60 minutes thanks to Aiden Downes' strike, but Andy Robinson put the Welsh side back in contention with 13 minutes remaining.
