🗞️ Ally McCoist: "I don’t see Sheffield United coming back up, but I would love to see Luton Town get promoted again. "I know they got relegated, but out of the clubs that went down last season, I thought they were the ones that gave it a real go. "Burnley and Sheffield United never really got going, but every time teams would face Luton, they’d know they were in a game. If they can keep that spirit and that siege mentality that they’ve got at home, I think they can go up as well. I’d love to see them do it – I know they went down last year, but I enjoyed the level of performances” 🗞️ - bit.ly/AllyMcCoistLuton

Look at real wages and ask if the economic policies pursued after 2010 delivered. They did not. Was that supposed to be the justification for austerity with all the damage that it did.

Teden Mengi. 21. An absolute revelation. A steal. Rolls Royce of a defender. Pace. Power. Strength. Athleticism. Excellent on the ball. Competitiveness. Literally has it all. Can go anywhere. In the top 3 best young defenders in the country, if not the world. Sensational season.

When a team has given everyone connected to it the ride of a lifetime for years, it is fully entitled to have a ‘never saw that coming’ off day. That was all yesterday was. No more. It won’t happen again. Now is not the time for negativity. We pull together. We succeed together.

Really proud of Luton Town FC tonight at Arsenal, despite defeat. The squad devastated by injuries to some 12 senior players, they had two keepers on the bench plus four teenagers , including a schoolboy. Brave effort in such trying circumstances. Makes you proud to be a Hatter!
