Effort endeavour and energy from Luton reaping results tonight, I wish our overpriced starlets showed some of these qualities coupled with their multi million pound talent we mightnot be deep in the poop.

Can’t you just appreciate Luton are plucky championship team making a real fight of it.

It’s not even a comparison to us as we are pathetic.

Luton are just good to watch

Mentioning the home game is desperate to slag us off though, those first 5 games were a complete write off

Absolutely. It's those easy yellows that just aren't given when already booked which drive me mad. Like Wharton's last week.

Luton are lots of things that we're not at the minute. Confident, physical, energetic, determined, organised, united. The list could go on. Basically they have an identity.

The problem for us is that we're just a (much) worse version of the top sides. Luton (as we used to) present a genuinely different challenge for teams, which on it's day can cause problems for anyone. That might not be enough to keep them up, but at least it's not as difficult to watch as our performances.

Burnley fans were falling over to praise Luton whilst they were getting pumped 4-1 at Anfield by Liverpools reserves yet slagged off Burnley for losing 3-1 there to a much stronger Liverpool side and we had huge chances.

You just need to stop being childish.

People can compliment another team without someone coming on here trying to start an argument.

What’s the actual issue?

I think fawning is to strong, nothing wrong in admiring a small unfashionable club that was appalingly owned for decades and they have risen through the ranks utilising teamwork and strength etc. I'm delighted they got beat and when they do get beat, but they have given themselves a chance which we despite spending a fortune by our standards haven't. Despite us spending a fair few recent years in the top flight we learned nothing from that period, they though as novices recognised power, pace teamwork etc would be vital and for that I admire them.

Wanting Luton to do well and have a go is just supporting an underdog.

If (when) we go down it won't be because of Luton, it will be because of our own inept performances.

As for using terms like "slag off" - makes you sound like a proper chav
