just checked the cl score. feel like I made the right choice.

Learned today that if Luton gets promoted, Mpanzu will be the first ever player to be promoted to League 2, League 1, Championship and PL for the same club. What a journey.

luton in the premier league would be amazing. also, sunderland needed another year - i think they'll be really good next year.

Sunderland were good last game. But Luton pressed like a pl team at times. Really likes the look of Ekwah as well for Sunderland. Covered a lot of ground quickly and showed a great capability to play great balls under pressure. One to watch.

Luton going back up would be a real nostalgia fest. Memories of that plastic pitch.

I hope they do it. Their stadium holds 10k and at a guess, would have to be the smallest capacity stadium in PL history? Even the Vitality holds 11k!

I didn't realise it was that small. It's an unusual ground - access to one of the stands is through the back of houses isn't it.

And he started playing for them in the National League. 5 tiers for one club is insane.

They really are going to have to pull their fingers out if the do go up as they’ll only have about eight/ten weeks to get it built and signed off as one whole side of the ground needs to be redeveloped at a cost of about £10m!
Trouble is the side they are looking to redevelop to comply with PL requirements is where most of their boxes and corporate stuff are currently located.

I played on that pitch back in the day (goalkeeper). It was an absolute nightmare

I believe that's @scat1620's house... That's going to put a right dent in his valuation.

Ah fuck it, I can't keep living in the same kitchen as @Gb160 for much longer, I need my own space!

Don't forget the B&Q budget greenhouse row of Corporate Boxes opposite the main stand!

Oh - professionally? Either way, that's really cool. I assume that you wore tracksuit bottoms?

No, just at youth level back in the mid-80's (my local team as a Harpenden boy). Tracksuit bottoms were a must but the bounce on the surface was so unpredictable.



* edit. On a related point I met David Pleat a few times back then. I know he is an easy target for some fans but he was/is a genuinely good guy and someone I am really happy to be assoiated with Spurs.

I know what you mean - he was a good manager and has always stepped in when needed.

Pleat is a legend, in more ways than one...
