There were some people predicting that Luton might finish the season with the lowest ever points total, and without any wins all season. Well, right now they are sitting outside of the relegation zone (thanks to Everton’s points deduction) and have 9 points. They’ve bagged their second win of the season and the first in front of their home fans. All they need is 3 more points all season to beat Derby’s record.
I decided to watch today’s game and it was certainly an entertaining one. Really pleased to see them get a result and their young English manager doing a great job. It’s gotta be especially sweeter for both Edwards and for Luton, considering that hated rivals Watford sacked him early last season (after just 11 games) and he is now doing a good job in the league above Watford having gotten Luton promoted!
They called me a madman on this sub when i said luton would stay up
Of the 3 that came up, Luton look the most likely to stay up right now. At the start of the season everyone thought they were fucked and Burnley would stay. Shows what we all knew! 😅
Burnley are the new Norwich, it shouldn’t have surprised as many people as it did.
It’s more the management of Kompany which made people turn heads. And their amazing Championship win
Yeah Kompany having the Pepstink™ on him definitely gave people ideas.
The amazing win though, it’s not that rare for teams to blow away everybody in the Championship with flowing attacking football. It’s so not rare it’s called doing a Norwich.
The problem is teams don’t play that sort of football in the prem, and even if any team was to try it they would have to be incredibly good.
So when a team like Norwich or Burnley gets promoted and sticks to their tactics against teams who are fitter, faster and better drilled, they always get pumped.
Still a long way to go…
As John Still used was fond of saying the season we won promotion back into the EFL. “Never too high, never too low”.
My experience with people in the Prem is that they tend to focus on what’s right in front of them rather than looking at the bigger picture. A season’s “over” after one thrashing, so-and-so’s going down after three or four games. Just got to take it a week at a time.
Luton would be 18th without the Everton penalty. Don’t start patting yourself on the back yet lol
here they go again
Shut your whore mouth.

I’m not going to be confident until I see them overtake Bournemouth.
Everton don’t look bad enough that ten points will be enough to keep them down.
Luton need to get into the pack, then between clearly exceptional management and Fortress Kenny they’ll be safe.
