I can't remember the last time I was so looking forward to an early round FA Cup fixture.

There is a chance the couch will be out for Luton! I'll plump up the pillows and get us up and running if I can.
How would one get an invitation for a spare seat on said couch?
It's as simple as refreshing the page and finding "Click here for the couch"

:wink:
Ah yes. Many thanks.....

It's nice to play a team we've not played for ages. Little bit anxious about this so not sure how enjoyable this fixture is going to be.

Barkley already showing his range of passing.

We're good, they're probably better, we'll find out.

Yeah you can see already that this is going to be a tough afternoon for us. Luton are big, quick, press hard and superior to us technically.

Effort levels and use of our system probably the key here. They're a Premiership side by no fluke.


Whose this Ricardo lad we've got playing :D Feels like the commentator has missed his cue here.

Perhaps he’s a personal mate of Rico’s.

“Mahoma” left their lad in a knot then

But yeah, Luton players’ superior technique leaves them more press-resistant than most opponents

Well, he's getting closer at least. During the warm-up, our Rico was apparently Victor Adeboyejo. :roll:

I'm feeling like we've had the better of the opening 20 mins. Not quite looking threatening, but definitely seem to be controlling the game better and having the majority of possession. That being said, Luton look like likely to get a shot off.

I think I'd probably argue it's been the opposite - they're quicker, technically better, and look the more threatening.

Opinions, arseholes, etc. :)

It matters not a jot, but has Vic worn a wrist support ever since we signed him?

Would seem you're right going off the stats popped up on screen.

Think he's worn it for a long time - sure I read somewhere it's not an injury, but like a good luck/superstition thing....
