Thameslink Derby? I’m betting on delayed kick off times

Late postponement.

Anyone around in the early seventies will know that 'we hate Luton' was in vogue way before any involvement with Palace when they later inherited the 'hate' mantle. Wasn't it a Luton game where the 'bootboys' had to remove said boots and go in the North Stand in their socks?

Remove their shoelaces I think

Nice thought, but we always seem to make shit teams look like top 6 !

As in doubling Saints, 4 points from Leeds, and 4 from Leicester? Only lost two matches out of 20 to teams in lower half of table.

What did Leon Knight (he's alright) do to upset them?

Probably derives from this.

I think with VAR Leon would’ve had a penalty there.

I remember the trip home from that match. Grim as it gets.

Thanks for this. I was at that game. That was a lonnnnng time ago.

Whatever happened to black refs !!?

Guessing you were not around in the 80s, other than as a pre teen or thereabouts?

They were ordinary,.. we had a few scuffles in the Plume of Feathers pub near the station... nothing too dramatic, an easy day out for the fans, unlike Cardiff, Millwall and most of Yorkshire.

We are currently 1/3 with Sky Bet to win the home games vs Luton...I cant recall ever seeing odds that short in an EPL game? not even when we played Southampton at home

We were 1/5 generally when we played Southampton:

Later on, in our first match in the old Division 1 against Arsenal, the police made people remove their boots. I remember a huge pile of them at the start of Goldstone Lane. I always wondered how people found their boots afterwards.

The tone of some of these posts worry me: "Luton: tin-pot, Noddy, non-league, one season only, etc". You just know how that how that first game is going to pan out:

Brighton: Attack, attack, attack, attack, attack, attack, attack, attack, attack ...... Shit.
Luton: Defend, defend, defend, defend, defend, defend, defend, defend, defend ...... Yay!

When that happened in 71/72 I swapped my ankle DMs for a better pair.

Definitely. Well beak all records for hitting the wood work before a last minute penalty. Also I though they were great in the play offs.

Sad to see my Duck go from my post, but fair play mods. I knew it might be naughty, but also know that moderating isn't my responsibility so I can be lazy. Won't do it again

That was Arsenal home game.

Home to Luton first game means for the first time in a long time, we won't be the neutral's choice.

94% possession, lose 1-0.

That’s slightly different from shitty banners that say shit like Mongolian blues or Kuala Lumpur reds right round the stadium.

I think it’s probably exactly the same. Adds nothing to the game. Depends whether you like American razzmatazz or not.
