Nfr: Tonight’s Game

The first 90 + minutes are the most important.

Christ. If you can lose a game after being 3-0 at half time then you definitely deserve to be relegated. This year's promoted teams are gobsmackingly awful.

Made for great watching though, no tippytappy passing across the field.

Agreed. Imagine you are Luton and you're told the other two clubs that come up with you are going to have sub-20 point seasons and at least one, probably two, of the existing candidates for relegation will have points deducted. No other promoted club has ever had it made this easy to stay up.

There is certainly life at the bottom of the premier league.

Agreed, easiest season to stay up in recent memory. We must not get complacent and must build on this year's success to move forward as a club rather than looking over our shoulder next season.

Although any professional team who cannot defend a 3 0 lead for less than 45 minutes may not deserve any sympathy.
I feel that is a bit harsh to say they are awful.
I am no great admirer of Luton Town as a club due to experiences of us playing them in past engagements.

Nevertheless unlike Gaurdiola and Klopp and a few other fortunate managers.
They do not have an open cheque book to use as a crutch to lean on.

So we need to get that in perspective.
Also credit to both Bournemouth & Boscombe for rallying from a 0 3 deficit.
Also the way i saw it, when the score was 3 3, credit to Luton who were still seeking a winner in the closing stages, rather than parking the bus.
Naturally Bournemouth supporters were pinching themselves when the final whistle blew, as opposed to Luton fans with their heads in their hands, completely stunned for different reasons.

Please also remember that both these are proper football clubs representing their local towns and communities, and none of their supporters can be accused of being glory hunters like the new supporters of corporate clubs owned by the banks.

This is so important to remember. I was incredibly impressed to hear that the Bournemouth fans had clubbed together to pay the Luton Supporters travel costs.

Impressive in this day and age and something to be applauded
