Sheff United still have West Brom and Preston to play. Keeps them in the mix and honest.

2-0 

Pub defending.

It's like their keepers are having a sneaky bet on who can be the most shit. I don't think I've ever seen two different keepers, same team, same match, be this bad.

With the games left I could honestly see Luton catching sheff united. Kinda hope they do

Was the keeper who got carded the same one that did the double save against us in the cup ?

Only just reading this thread. That was one of the most nailed-on penalties you could see that Coventry didn’t get.

 

He literally trips himself. Diiiiiive.

It's so bizarre. "What an amazing manager - granted he's spent £40m in a league where almost every other team doesn't have a pot to piss in - but he's created mentality monsters."

We don't need more nothing teams in the Prem. We already have teams like Bournemouth and Brentford.

Kenilworth Road in the PL. 😁

The ‘stand’ that runs alongside the pitch that’s just plastic boxes, the entrance to the away end through folks’ back yards.

You can just imagine the media anthropological pieces now…

They are however investing £100M in a new stadium. Shovel work expected to start  before the end of the year.

Decent sized fanbase have Luton, only club in Bedfordshire, certainly could substantially increase their gates in a bigger ground (even in the Championship).

Soo we'll have a Premier League consisting entirely of Liverpool, the Manchester clubs and the London commuter belt. Oh and the Middle East State-owned Newcastle. Perhaps Villa.

Sickening.

Need some southern clubs relegated this season, Southampton, yes, but looks like Palace will do enough, and perhaps even Boscombe and West Ham.

Assuming Luton do get there, this season or in the future, a country could well come in and buy them.

Multi- Billionaire owners will then have a cartel and the gap between the top and bottom half will be HUGE.

Write off at least half of your games as big defeats, if you are a team that makes it to the premier league through the play offs, without any parachute funds.

Ince gone, no surprise there, not exactly the mastermind you want in a relegation battle..

Eh? Darwen, Rishton, Great Harwood, Oswaldtwistle, Accrington, Clayton Le-Moors,  Clitheroe, Haslingden, Bamber Bridge, Chorley, Hoghton, Mellor, Abbey Village, Balderstone, Samlesbury, Wheelton, Langho, Whalley etc etc.

 

Plenty of Dingles in some of those towns.

And a joke of a punishment with a transfer embargo, after the transfer window 😄

I know, which is why I said their fanbase stretches from ‘Hyndburn to West Yorkshire’

He kept them up last season.

[Mattyblue]

He won 4 in 14 last season, with them already five points clear when he was appointed. 

Not exactly a wonder spell, was it.
