As a non UK fan: What’s the problem with Milwall and Luton? From what I have read the first has a racist fan base (am I right?), and the second has a terrible ground. But I'll like to know what's the deal with each team.
Luton Town in the Premier League? Probably not
- Thread starter horsechoker
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
some of yous are such snobs. freaking out at the sight of a few terraced houses. im sure you can get prawn sandwiches in luton too. just dont expect it in some foccacia..
Luton is a shithole. It’s not snobbish to say that. It’s regularly in the top 3 worst places to live in the UK in just about every list imaginable.
Between the two I would like Luton to come up. The thought of Eric Morecambe skip dancing in the afterlife in celebration of his beloved club gaining the top flight kinda makes me smile.
Regarding Millwall, not for at least another year. Enjoy your summer, cnuts.
Up to Amad & Sunderland to knock out Luton.
Town will be dangerous in the play off. Quite a job they done being better than their bitter rivals Watford.
Indeed, I called it earlier, textbook millwall. Rowett has actually got a much better side than usual though, not a complete bunch of cloggers.
Happy to see Millwall fail. Luton I have no strong views on - I could be wrong but from what I've heard their attempts to combat racism in the club and particularly to involve their Asian community are significantly more serious than Millwall's.
Breathes a slight sigh of relief

Jesus, thank god they lost today.
Good call they bottled a 3-1 lead
An all too familiar story.
Am I right in thinking Luton would be the 1st team (in the PL era at least) to be relegated from the Football League re-gain League status and get all the way up to the top flight
Every episode of 24 Hours In Police Custody there's something going wrong in Luton.
Is it because the show is solely set in Luton? Who can say. Crime utopia? Definitely.

Once I went to a Watford vs Bristol City Fa Cup game because me and a mate managed to get cheap tickets. Watford won and as we came out of the ground there were Luton fans waiting to have a scrap with Watford ones. Bizarre club.
If this is a fact, then their promotion to the PL would be an incredible and in my opinion, represent a timely story for the Premiership and wider football. It would be fantastic, on Leicester winning PL levels.
I may appreciate some of the experiences and observations re Luton Town, but I do find some of the comments pretty snobbish and patronising. And regarding the comments on racism amongst their fanbase, where do we want to go with that? There is SO much that can be said on this topic.. let's look at Millwall and Luton, alongside other ongoing matters. Heung-Min Son was racially abused by Chelsea fans only a few days ago.
Not suggesting I have any affinity with Luton Town FC, but they are a small club who have done incredibly, incredibly well to get to where they are. Like Brentford. And Bournemouth. I would love to see them in the Premiership, which would also help bring those pathetic fans into the 21st century.
We don't like Chelsea either
Nice to see Coventry having a shot. Didnt they have some problems recently?
Mike Ashley
Yep... this is also terrfic story.
I’d love to see Coventry back in the PL.
I always remember having an abundance of Coventry Panini stickers in the ‘80s and thus my wardrobe door was always plastered in Coventry stickers through my whole childhood!
Always had a bit of a soft spot for them due to that!
Keith Houchen in 87 and all that !I’d love to see Coventry back in the PL.

Steve Ogrizovic in Sondico gloves!
Tried to remember which Croatian player played for them and it was Jarni. But he didnt play a single game for them, signed in 1998 then soon after that Madrid bought him. It was some kind of a scheme cause Betis didnt want to sell him to Madrid.I’d love to see Coventry back in the PL.

they always used to be good for a win against Liverpool in the 90's!
everytime I think of Coventry I always get 2 contrasting flashbacks, one is that horrendous injury David Busst sustained against us, and the 2nd is that iconic diving header by Keith Houchen in the cup final v Spurs.I’d love to see Coventry back in the PL.

Petr Ndlove, John Salako, Shaw, Dublin, Busst (
) I used to have soft spot for them as a kid. Also every panini sticker pack had a Coventry player in it!

I know nothing about Luton other than having the misfortune of having to use its airport. Awful place.
But surely we're all rooting for Michael Carrick and Middlesbrough, no? He's got them playing great football too, really keen to see how he does in the PL if he can get them promoted.

The airport has a ridiculously long walk to the gate where I have to go. It's like I have to get another flight from security to the gate.
Getting worried
That football ground is the best thing I've seen for ages.
Come on Coventry you can do this!
So, people don't like the Super League because it is elitist and would kill the opportunity for small clubs to fight their way to the top.
A Club then goes from relegated to the Conference League to a potential PL spot in 14 years - with five years of which were spent in non-league football to boot - and now it is 'their ground/town is a sh*thole' and they're essentially a tinpot club.
CAF logic at it's finest.

So, Luton are actually playing in the Premier League next season? This is great!
I still remember David Pleat dancing in his slip-ons when they beat City to stay in the top flight (and sent City down).
They are in the play off final and will play the winner of Coventry vs Boro for a place in the PL.
Luton are welcome to play in the Premier League as much as they want,
Their town is also the stuff depressions are made of
