    Luton will be a better club for their (seeming) one season at the top-table. Haven't they used some of the money to improve their ground, haven't they a better squad?

    They may even be contenders in the Championship again with the parachutes they will get.

    A big step forward resulting in a smaller step backwards?

     

    I think the problem lies after the first promotion. You come back down with the money, the improvements and the parachute payments, you should be competitive at the top end the next season so fan expectations are higher, if you then get promoted again you need to try and push on, but the resources from 2 brief visits are not enough so you either see a bit of regression and the supporters getting disheartened or you gamble more than you should. 

    Promotion paves the way to hell...

    It will be interesting to see whether you get more than the 233 views (at the time of writing), that the same thread title gained for LYB?

    Already at 226 views. How many replies did LYB get?

    V happy to be corrected but I think I remember reading that when you loan a player you transfer their registration, so Abu Kamara will still officially be a Portsmouth player until (again, happy to be corrected) June 1. As with Idah and Celtic, think this is a non starter

    Just a minor point, but domestic and international loans work differently, international loans is a full transfer of the player as it has to be between FAs, domestic loans are a lot more flexible (but depending on the wording of the loan contract probably won't be able to play for us)

    To be fair they’ve only got promoted due to their fan base and how even when things got tough they always sung and kept supporting the team. The lack of booing 20 years ago when they got relegated from the premiership has resulted in this promotion from league 1.

    Yes, being owned by billionaire Michael Eisner has nothing to do with it, it was purely the fans what got them promoted...

    I am being flippant as he hasn't just dumped money in like so many other owners, but that is a ridiculous statement to make....

    No we are not. We have already exceeded all expectations so as far as I am concerned what will be will be, and I will be proud our players whatever happens from here on in. Every team has its section of idiot fans who know **** all about football and sh!t the bed everytime the team don't win 5-0, but most sensible fans i know are realistic and know that we are punching well above. You guys can talk all you like about us bottling it etc. but deep down you know that we have no right to be up there challenging the 3 relegated teams and the fact we are irritates you immensely. So you can frame it however you like but finishing 3rd or 4th will not be even close to bottling it for a side just up from league one. I'm not even writing us off for top two either, this team is perectly cabable of 4 wins on the spin.

    I have to say most of you guys seem awfully ****-sure of yourselves following the derby. I mean fair play, you deservedly won the game on the day and Wagner also won the tactical battle agaist Mckenna, but should we meet in the play-offs do you really expect him to do so 2 more times? If there is one thing about Mckenna he usually finds the answers and finds a way to win games, I don't think you will be able to play the same way 2 more times and expect us to play as badly as we did last week. Just my view, and maybe I am wrong but i'd be keeping my poweder somewhat dry if I were you. You won the battle but the war may not be over yet.

    Whilst you do seem rather sensible, on McKenna finding answers, he has actually got worse against us, what makes you think he could turn it round when the pressure is REALLY on? Whilst we know you have no right to be up where you are (+18 over xG isn't it?) your fans should also know that and if you don't go up this year then McKenna will get poached and you will drop back down to where you should be with the squad you have. We had the same with Lambert, occasionally managers come along and hit the right club at the right time, that is McKenna with you now and once he is gone so will you be...

    I'd prefer to see a few rare glaring errors like this than VAR being so invasive and active in affecting the rules of the game to suit it.

    I read that it hit the player on the face when it happened, at least it was his hand based on this replay.  Shocking positioning to think it was in the box though.

    Looks very much like the head to me in the replay... But I am on a phone screen...

    I thought the opposite lol, firstly it was multi ball so the balls were on cones and just picked up. However don’t know if anyone else noticed once we were in front, the ball boy nearest the snakepit through the original ball on the pitch on a couple of occasions when we didn’t appear to be back in position.

    I did notice an extra ball coming onto the pitch a couple of times... But I thought the new rules with multi all and the cones was hat the ball boys weren't allowed to give the ball to the players anymore?

    Why did Josh hang his leg out though? As Don Goodman said on Sky, in the form he is in, you’d expect him to beat the keeper from that position, I’ve no idea why he tried to induce the foul.

    He didn't really hang his leg out though, he did what any good striker does, cut in front of the defender who is trying to get back so that they can't get to the ball, the defender then either fouls you or has to go round you taking time. Morsy just clatered into the back of him...Much like Luango did near the half way line in the 8th minute when Josh had a through ball to chase that again the ref didn't give anything for

    Russ in the semis. Daniel at Wembley. 2 PL victories against the Binners next season.

    It would be so much funnier if we did them in the semis, especially with all of the crowing they've done about how great they are, especially as they wouldn't even get a day out at Wembley then (which they;ve never played at, one of only about 6 teams in the whole EFL)....

    McKenna reminds me of Lambert. Performing miracles with a team in League One and then the Championship, but a cold fish and just as unlikeable. Where he differs is I think he will not be as desperate as Lambert to jump ship and hit the big time. I think he's smarter than Lambert and will be more willing to take his time. I also suspect he has more overall talent.

    Wagner seems a much nicer person. I know that means diddly-squat in footballing terms, but I really hope he can come good.  

    I think he appears less keen because he is earlier in his career. Unfortunately he is going to be a top manager, fortunately it won't be with the binners. If they don't get promoted, as soon as a premier league club comes along he will be off (so this summer probably). Even if they do get promoted he will still be off sooner rather than later....
