I would really like to see Luton in the Premier League next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, to see where they have came from (almost completely wiped out as a football club) and climbed the tables how they have, I think it would be great for them and I hope they do it - even if they only last one season.

A bit like Brighton. They were one point away in 1997 from total oblivion. They stayed up in Division 3 (yes) by 1 point after drawing with Hereford. What a roller coaster they have been on. The opposite of Albion, who's boing boing mediocrity has been stinking up the joint for decades. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm afraid, I have no wish to renew our "rivalry" on the pitch. They can have their fun playing the Noses and seeing which of them can sing "s**t on the Villa" loudest in the Championship. I remember the days of the late 60s & early 70s, when they were the most successful local team and didn't they make sure we knew it. They didn't long for local derbies against us then, when we were outside of the top flight and I'm the same about our lack of games against them now. They are an irrelevance now, we don't sing about them incessantly, like they do about us, because we have bigger fish to fry. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to go to college in Luton (over 20 years ago now). I would leave work and get a train to Luton every Mon & Tues to get to college for 5pm and wouldn't finish until 9.30pm. More often than not I would unfortunately just miss the last bus by minutes that would stop at the train station. I would start the hour long walk to the station walking through some eye opening areas of Luton (autumn/winter months so pitch black by 5pm). It was dodgy back then, and it's only got worse over the years from what I understand. There's not a hell's chance I would do that walk nowadays though. I imagine it would be like Russian roulette to make it to the train station these days. Back on topic and on a football scenario, I would sooner see Luton promoted this season rather than WBA or even Coventry.

Its an absolute hole of a place and our record there is abysmal. The kind of club that we would like in the Prem for the novelty factor and then quickly decide we would now like them to politely f*** back from whence they came.* * See Stoke, Cardiff, Bournemouth for examples Edited April 20, 2023 by GlobalVillan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear you loud and clear. We hate them. We hate them beautifully—and with effortless insouciance,. They are so so so so so very very very irrelevant, well, they've exhausted English and must reach for other languages. ¡Albion es muy muy muy muy muy irrelevante! I think it's maybe good to spend more of my time posting about how I don't think about them ever.

Popular Post AVFC_Hitz Posted April 26, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 26, 2023 I had to take an early morning flight from Luton to Istanbul. I decided to treat myself to an over night stay in the easy hotel, so I got there early evening and stepped out of the hotel for some fish and chips only to see three individual fights happening outside food joints. It was like a shit, violent tryptic. I turned around and stayed in my crappy orange plastic pod of a room, ate a flapjack and cry wanked over Songs of Praise. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
