[Football] Luton forum (avenue of evil)

[The Wizard]

The thought of visiting Luton for even few hours sends a shiver down my spine, it’s a hideous snivelling hovel full of Neanderthal types who still live in the 1970s, can’t wait to metaphorically bend them over and go in dry.

Something like that?

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

A bit of humility needed here? Hereford, Gillingham, Withdean, etc etc….. we’ve come a long way but we have no right to act like Leeds fans now

No. But this is what their Chairman said about their first fixture of the season to Sky "(the game against Brighton is) Relatively kind I think, it could have been much worse".

It could have been worse (Man City) but much worse? Cheeky.

 

[Sepulveda]

Relatively OT, but how do they play? My first guess would be that coming from lower leagues they'd position in a low block, but obviously I have no idea. If that were the case though, you really shouldn't underestimate them since that type of tactic is what's caused you the most problems. Unless their players are really of an abysmal level of course.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

No one is underestimating them. They will be pumped up and first games for new clubs can generate unexpected results, even against the best. But I suspect their perception of Brighton is a little out of date. Their chairman was referencing the last time they played us in the top tier (40 years ago) and a Johnson's Paint Trophy win in 2009.

As for their style of play. I saw them twice last season (on tv). It will be a low block and thumping the ball forward.

Makes you laugh, all that trash in Luton, yet the Rothchilds have lovely properties dotted about the area.

There’s also the complete contrast to posh Bedford.

To be fair, I visited their forum last night having seen this thread, and one of the few things I read was a thread titled "Relatively Kind"...

Luton Outlaws - The Avenue of Evil: Relatively kind

Sweet using those words to describe our opening game vs Brighton is a bit naive. Brighton were one of the best footballing sides in the league last season with the 3rd highest possession stats and 4th in home goals. Brighton have the ability to wipe the floor with us. It is far from being a kind...

The opening post reads:

"Sweet using those words to describe our opening game vs Brighton is a bit naive. Brighton were one of the best footballing sides in the league last season with the 3rd highest possession stats and 4th in home goals. Brighton have the ability to wipe the floor with us. It is far from being a kind opening fixture, it couldnt have been much tougher in fact."​

​

...and someone else clarified the statement:

"He was talking about tbe first few fixtures which could have been a lot tougher."​

I think very few will be underestimating Luton,thiose that do may be in for a rude awakening. as has been often said "there are no easy games in this league"
Whist its entirley possible we will "wipe the floor with them" they will be very pumped for this game, we all know that we can struggle against the more physical approach that championship teams can use

For Luton this is a huge match-not because its against us-but its their first match in the Premier League- it could well set the tone for their first month or so. A heavy demoralising loss will knock their confidence, so i expect a very hard fought battle. This could be a frustrating game and we need to be at our best. A good start and a goal in the first twenty mins will settle our new season nerves, and then we will be ok, however if things arent going Brightons way in the first half hour, Lutons confidence will grow and we will be pressed hard

Last season they basically booted the ball up to a nine foot two striker who tried to hold the ball up for a load of midgets to catch up.
Excellent at dead ball situations though
They were pretty successful with these tactics

Bedford really ain’t posh. Not quite as bad as Luton though which is like visiting Armageddon

 

[jamie (not that one)]

EDL, Waxy-Lemon hotbed up there. Not sure why anyone is surprised by all this shite.

 

[carlzeiss]

Had a quick browse and see the homophobic slurs have already started

Have you telephoned the police to report a hate crime ?

All terribly tiresome, and equally predictable . . . yawnnnnn.

 

[wellquickwoody]

My last visit to Luton was in the paint pot semi final where their fans decided to all come over to the away end and celebrate getting to the final in front of us. Lovely bunch Luton fans should be interesting next season.

So, we give them 3,000 tickets, but how many travel? Could be interesting in town centre pubs…….

The city will be a sea of orange, just like the Dutch have invaded.

Could go either we way now we have sold off the best midfield pair we have ever had. Maybe we won’t be watching the Albion side we are used to or maybe it will better who knows

Saw them a few times last season on TV. I would describe them as plucky.

Yes the narrative Albion are a peaceful bunch is laughable by some.

Luton away, the perfect place to roll out the 'I want to go home...' song

 

[W3D]

lol, I had to check too, the name 'Avenue of Evil' intrigued me, and the comments on here about how bad the forum was.
Just imagine STILL being annoyed about something Leon Knight did, what? 2 decades ago?? And this is revenge
Jesus wept.
