Luton. As well as having the FOURTH BIGGEST AIRPORT in London, the town is also birth place of Monty Panesar, childhood home of Andrew Tate, home to the UK's largest one-day festival and of course, most famously known for being a total fucking shithole.

Nicknamed "The Hatters" due to Luton's hat making pedigree - back in the 1930s, as many as 70 million hats were churned out a year. Luton are making their first top flight appearance since 1992, the year Bill Clinton was voted President in the cesspit across the pond.

Luton have made a shaky start to the season, losing their first 4 games before turning things around a bit with a draw against Wolves and an away win against Everton. Due to the stadium issues at the start of the season, the game against Burnley got postponed, it's been rearranged for the 3rd, so they've got a game beforehand to contend with.

My predicted line-up - although it picks itself now.

Johnson - Son - Kulusevski
Maddison
Bissouma - Sarr
Udogie - VDV - Romero - Porro
Vicario
​
This is the last game before yet another dogshit International break nobody fucking cares about, let's go into it on high and retain the momentum from what's been a phenomenal start to the season under the breath of fresh air that is Big Ange.

As a North Londoner living in Luton, the phrase "London, Luton Airport", really gets on my nerves, as I'm sure it does for many of the native Lutonians.

I've watched them a fair bit, and they're pretty good at corners, but can be a bit flaky at the back IMO, and can't handle players running at them. We need to start with a strong side, and then relax a bit, once we put a few past them.

Agreed. An asteroid could hit earth, destroying several small European countries and the Liverpool/VAR bollocks would still be front page.

I wonder if the same level of attention would have been given to this if it happened during Luton v Palace.

Too many for non games given most summers have long competitions, as almost nobody is knocked out in the international breaks during the season.

Breaks still to come this season :

Oct 9 - 15
Nov 13 - 21
Jan 12 - Feb 11 (Afcon)
March 18 - 26

I must be one of the few that appreciate an international break, as it gives me the opportunity to have a holiday without missing a home game!
I'd just prefer it if none of our players were involved! :)

Off to Scotland for the next one.
 
Each day we get closer to this game, it becomes more and more important that we win.

Everyone around us is crumbling a little, whether that is domestically or Europe. We also know it won't last.

There would be/should be no better way to move into the international break. Into the bowels of autumn than being top or 2nd, unbeaten in the league and ready to consider what additional changes we need for January.

We just need to win. No effing excuses and we need to neutralise the need for diVARne intervention or we all know how that will end.

Once past this weekend, it' goes quiet.

COYS.
 
Was at WHL for the last game vs Luton in the old D1. 4-0 win, Lineker scored twice. They got relegated that year.

Think we will put the same number past them at home this year but away from home, unless we score early, it's going to be tight.

Probably need to take a couple of pot shots from distance, their keeper doesn't look great on long shots.

None of this rest bollocks. We have a game a week. If it's a concern then don't send them on international duty.

A week to rest up and focus on this game.

No, they won't.

Which is why we should be fucking hammering them. Their quality is so low that being 3 games deep within 7 days should already be doing them some damage.

The players shouldn't take the game for granted of course and a lunch time kick off against a struggling side is quintessentially Spursy. But id be very very disappointed if we didn't smash this lot.

This isn't a game away at a struggling out of form Prem side that have been in the Prem for years. This is essentially an early kick off against a poor Championship team that should be void of confidence and well fatigued.

To be fair Championship teams play 3 times a week on the regular. Yes the level of opposition is stronger, but still, it's not new to them.

They will make it difficult, I don't expect anything less. As you said, we need to approach it in a professional manner, not drop our levels and look to have the game won by half time.
 
It's a very difficult match. Luton are adapting to the Premier League and will give their all.

My lineup:

Vicario
Porro, Cuti, VDV, Udogie
Bissouma, Sarr, Maddison
Kulusevski, Son, Richarlison
​
Brennan Johnson is still injured.​

They do and that's why the football league is the most inconsistent league in the world.

In the Championship, they'd rotate. In this league, the lack of quality means they can't really afford too.

We should be putting 3 through them on an off day.

What's the matter with you? London Luton Airport is only 40 miles from central London, 2 hours by train, 90 mins by car, or if you prefer to walk you can do it in under 13 hours + breaks.
