Why are you the way you are?

[diamondjoe]

I don't know much, but I know this much,

Some cunt better score. 

[Rushies tash]

Hopefully the energy and creativity we have in midfield this season will mean an end to us gifting relegation fodder one of the three wins they manage before going down in March. We'll have a few scares from set pieces, but if we're on it, and professional, we should run out comfortable winners. Last thing we need to do is give a shit team encouragement with a half arsed performance. 

[an tha]

If our attitude and application is spot on we'll win comfortably enough....

 

 

[Elite]

Hopefully we've realised that we need to work hard for every win. No lethargy, cockiness and we need to take these seriously.

[johnsusername]

I hope we start really slowly, barely looking interested, concede a sloppy goal then start playing about 25 minutes in.

[littletedwest]

I remember these making me cry by beating us on their plastic pitch. Anyone know what year that was?

Just get them beat

[Chip Butty]

81/82-ish, I’d take a stab at. 

[Chip Butty]

Just looked it up, way out, 86 & 88 in the league and 87 in the cup.

[littletedwest]

Just googled it. We lost a few times there. Reckon it would have been jan 87 as I was 6 then. My dad reassured me they were cheats because they played on a plastic pitch.

[Turkish Delight]

I'm expecting this to be a scrap like the game in midweek.

 

I've watched Luton a few times this season. They don't look great but they're committed and that pitch could be bad after the weather this week.

 

We'll win if we turn up but if the effort is off it's a banana skin. Nobody has gone there and won by more than a goal so far.

I was at that game as well. It was a bit grim until the end, when it was fucking boss.

Me too.  Mad celebrations (followed by a feeling of "fucking hell, we celebrated that?")

[Bjornebye]

If we don't score from our own half then what's the point? 

[Razoray]

Weather forecast for 4.30 tomorrow in Luton is ok. Very little wind and no rain. Hopefully the pitch is ok.

It would be nice if we can look shocked at a high ball and flick on down our right side too.

A Liverpool video I had as a kid involved John Barnes being booed at their place on that pitch.  They shall not be forgiven. Ever.

Top meteorological system analysis.

[Anubis]

Just remembered that the most inappropriately named footballer ever, Marvellous Nakamba, plays for this clown outfit. Going forward we cannot, under any circumstances, lose to any team with Marvellous Nakamba in it.

Is he on a long goalscoring drought?

Just checked - last scored in 2016/17 season.

 

He has played nearly 200 games since then.....

 

Nailed on!

[Anubis]

Not just me, then. From North Stand Chat, a Brighton board.

I've been there as well.

[YorkshireRed]

I have an irrational (or maybe not) hatred for Luton. Probably stems from the wank plastic pitch, and the league cup semi final loss. 
 

In no particular order, I hate United, City, Everton, Leeds, and Chelsea more, but then it’s Luton. 
 

Smash the hat wearing bastards. 

[Fallen Angel]

Clean, professional job - just get them beat
