Re: Suing Everton ?
Mr England has already been booked in for the final day.... No chance. The guy is completely incompetent and doesn't appear to even know the rules. If he were on VAR for Everton's last game he could quite well unintentionally relegate them with one of his errors. Even if he were given a directive t...

Re: Luton v Burnley.Your verdict.
Not sure it's been mentioned, but this was Luton's first defeat in 16 matches at home in a midweek night fixture. Ok, the previous 15 were in a lower division, but I think it shows us that Kenilworth Rd is a very hostile place to go, particularly under the floodlights. We stood up pretty well defens...

Re: Loseton versus Mighty Clarets
Sorry, I thought this mini conversation was instigated by a post suggesting we should hire Luton's set piece coach. No worries, and I'm sure we will improve throughout the season (with our own coaches :D ). It was, but I - perhaps wrongly, assumed it meant our set pieces, not our defending of them!!
