I've never been keen on Luton Town - I've hated going to their place over the years etc.

Their points deduction was crazy and to be not officially condemed until this late into the season was quite impressive plus a bit of silverware to provide a little bit of comfort.

If they have any sense they won't think they'll waltz Non-League as Oxford learned.

  A very sorry picture.... :cry:

He's had a nightmare season Parkin - didn't even really help Luton and certainly didn't help Orient!

Hasn't had a good one since he played for us has he?

He looks overweight and unfit, still only 28, could his career be rescued by a return?

A valid point.

No No and No, just in case that wasn't clear.

On 3 Counties Radio (my local BBC station), the fans were slating his performance today, they don't rate Parkin at all, what a shame his career went the way it did after leaving us. Injuries didn't help him mind.

Parkin took what didn't seem much of a risk after 3 seasons scoring over 20 league goals, it wasn't supposed to go this badly!

Ipswich even seemed a good move - then injury. A second chance given to him in the form of Luton and they go into freefall.

I imagine he'd like to turn the clocks back to that trip to Australia where he contemplated his Swindon future. Even if it was to join Watford!

Luton have some half decentish players.

at the end of the day the fans were fucking arse raped by the previous owners and the goons at the FL


Very very sad

Theres a few clubs I couldn't care less about dropping out of the football league but Luton is not one of them.  I'm actually pretty gutted for them.

i hoped they would get out of trouble.and to be fair to them they've had a right go this season.
shame.

It's a fucking disgrace. The FL  are a bunch of cunts.

FACT.

I wish I looked that overweight and unfit, and was still 28  :D

Its even worse when you have the likes of Franchise in the league when they shouldn't even be there.

I agree. Tony Cottee was very pro-FL on TV today and it just annoyed me.

 Normally I'd think bringing back SSP would be a mistake, but for no logical reason, I just get the feeling that it might suit all parties especially if we're in L2.

 DW got HPool out on the back of Ritchie Barker's goals....Barker being no more than a journeyman L2 type striker, we're going to need at least 3 new strikers next season, and SSP could be quite cheap.

We are not going down Reg!!!

We're not going to be in League Two.

Have a break Reg, it's boring and also total bollocks.

Has STFC Dave got a bet on this?

Keep repeating something often enough doesn't make it happen....nobody wants us to be in L2, but it is still a distinct possibility, and until such time as it isn't, we may as well face the possibility.

We know next season we'll have one striker on the books...Paynter...all sides need 4. Depending on which division we're in will influence our abilty to attract replacements.

Possibility, yes. But you spout it as though it's fact.

I am 99.9999% certain that we will be in League One next season.

No I look at fixtures etc, and arrive at possible outcomes. The fly in the ointment as at the moment is the games in hand of Cobblers and Brighton...coupled with their having 3 and 2 home games remaining...OK I'd rather have the points, but we've seen in recent weeks how teams seemingly dead and buried can turn things with a couple of favourable results. We're still not safe...and that whether you like it or not is a fact.

There's quite a few teams that aren't safe.

You've been alluding to us going down for quite a while. What purpose does it serve?

Before the Brighton game, most were expecting three points from the two Easter games.

That's what we got. You mentioned Northampton and Brighton, but there are other teams between us and the drop zone.

Yes, it's a fact that we could go down. It's also a fact that we could stay up, so why don't you concentrate on that?

 :swordfight:

I actually do feel sorry for Luton and hope they bounce right back. Fucked over by the cunts at the Football League.

Absolutely no purpose whatsoever, other than banter as the season unfolds. I've seen 6 relegation seasons, all different and the dynamic is fascinating ( I don't count 90 as one)

I felt 4 points were necessary...draw with Brighton, to keep a bit of daylight, beat Orient. Having beaten Brighton a draw with Orient would have been OK, but like so many times this season we've fucked up at a key moment.  It's what has made this season unique.

Win at Carlisle and we're probably safe...but the same could be said for today.

more importantly do Luton have any decent L1 standard players we can have

Tom Craddock looked decent in the piss poor paint pot final.

where's matthew spring on loan?

Get keane or nicholls

Poor Sammy - Poor Luton Fans

Went to the JPT Final.
Fans have been done over just as we were all those years ago.

Hereford also had their relegation confirmed as well

I think what may help us is that Carlisle directors are not bothered about relegation so hopefully that may affect players mentality as well.

I have been totally convinced that we will be in league one next season. Until yesterday. Now, I think we need a win against carlisle, cos I don't want to be facing the last two games with needing any more points.

Luton have a few handy players, Asa Hall, Craddock and Chris Martin all looked impressive when I have watched them.

Chris, regarding the avatar, were you in Cologne 2006?

That was an awesome game.
