Just seen the goals, poor goalkeeping for pretty much all of them 

Plus he should of saved a few of the penalties

Does he? Haven't seen anything to make me think that. 

A quick google about a domestic abuse incident might change your mind about that 

Did I just see basso?

Luton vs Coventry in the Play-Off final.

****ing hell. What a depressing, underwhelming, and embarrassing fixture.

Agreed. Very underwhelming and frustrating that teams like those two can make it to a play off final and we finish 16th 

Bloody hell is that Liam Kelly?!

How the hell is he playing in a championship play off game 

As others have said the big pitch at Wembley I can see being an issue for Luton 

Lockyer really is a rat isn’t he

Thats the budget for the next five years blown on a *checks notes* 17th place finish in League one party. Remarkable. 

Feel like we are in a big transitional period for the club on and off the pitch and the last few seasons including this one felt like we just needed to hang on in the championship whilst bringing youth team players whilst spending wisely. 

In that sense we have achieved this with great success this season, 59 points isn't the worst points tally in the world, comfortably midtable. Pearson is slowly weeding out the players he doesn't trust and cultivating a team that he trusts and will fight for every ball and every game.

However we are going to be in a massive cash windfall next season potentially with the Scott sale, next season I would like us to be in the shout of the play offs, 65-70 points whilst bringing through youngsters and being in the market wisely. 

Overall, the clubs in a steady, stable position, mid table championship team and I am content with that for the time being. Finances seem a lot more controlled, there seems to be a direction on what we are looking for in the transfer market now. Still think it's a steady, building process and may take a few more years then people would like to seriously challenge this division but I'm content. 

For a lot of generation of city fans that’s the first promotion they witnessed. You always remember the first. 
 

All I have to say is thank **** we played a relegated Rotherham

Thing is though, with them gone, who now are the blandest  (southern) club in the Championship?

Steve Evans will be there next season to remind them of their cheating, too.

To be fair to Evans he won’t stop calling that day out & they absolutely hate it.

The whole situation has been completely swept under the rug, fair play to Evans for constantly reminding them of their complete unsportsmanlike cheating.

5 loan players, and a pitiful season for their budget. Wants 13 signings this summer, after 16 in the last two windows. 
 

“What I do is an artform” - 15th in League One, scored 2 goals in 5 games. 

“Is that all he’s learnt from the game, in his 60s?” - talking about Cotterill, beaten by Shrewsbury tonight and couldn’t beat them at the Mem

”I bet Fleetwood fans are upset Joey Barton isn’t their manager anymore” - talking about himself in the third person, they are 4 points and 16 goals worse off than Fleetwood. 
 

The ******* gift. 

It's like paying off Scunthorpe in the last day of the season wasn't worth it at all.  Complete charlatans. 

480 for a derby.. that’s possibly some of the worst away support I think I have ever seen. Rovers away support only travel to grounds they haven’t been too for 20 years.. potful 

That’s a hell of a downfall. To think they were in the championship just under 10 years ago. Wouldn’t surprise me if they folded soon 

I seem to remember his commentary of Roberts goal against Hartlepool was right in the money too.

Rumour has it that a third team were mentioned at the recent EFL meeting (no not us) but if imposed will impact on the promotion places

Sheffield united 

I thought that Steven caulker would be an England international regular for about 10 years or so 

What a very strange club Luton are, their fans too. They’re having a little honey moon period at the moment but with their terrible infrastructure and small fanbase it won’t last. 

Burnley under a transfer embargo now 

No stress now for the next two months, we can experiment with players in different positions such as Taylor-Clarke in midfield for a few games here and there.

Loving the irony of this coming from someone with the name HoldenBall

Take me back to those glorious late 2020 days of holdenball after watching that 

We are looking dire.. 

This has a 1-0 Huddersfield win and we can’t string two passes together written all over it.. 

Bristol Rovers the only club to make MK Dons seem likable.
