Everton 1 Luton Town 2

What a day. It began at Luton bus station shortly before 9am, and ended in a similar location just before Match of the Day kicked off. What a shame the BBC didn't recall Garth Crooks to the pundit sofa for one night only to reflect on his ridiculous comments made a few weeks ago. 3,000 Luton fans who were up on Merseyside know that this Hatters side are going to hold their own in the Premier League.  A dash from the bus just after 3pm meant we missed the first few minutes but by the time we were standing in the Bullens Upper Luton were well on top. A succession of corners delivered expertly by Alfie Doughty gave the Toffees warning. At the third time of asking Carlton rose like a colossus to thunder a header on to the bar via a Pickford flick. As the ball came rocketing down, Ashley Young must have imagined he was back at the Watford training ground and thought it was time for a shimmy. He had reckoned without Tommy Tommy Lockyer who charged forward and the ball crashed into the ne...

73: KDH Linked, Boxes Cleared

73 days until Luton kick off in the Premier League.

The Executive boxes are being stripped. The race is on to build a new stand in 12 weeks. After the drama, emotion, and joy of Wembley, this confirms Premier League is indeed reality and not just the most magnificent dream.

And exciting transfer news. KDH is maybe coming back. Can it be true?

We can hope. Leicester are now Championship, Luton are Premier League so it is in the best interests of players to compete for the club in the higher league. Dewsbury Hall enjoyed a stellar loan spell a few seasons ago, winning Players' Player of the Season for the Hatters. He knows the club, and we could offer him Premier League football straight away. 


However, while the Daily Express report is very exciting, let's not get ahead of ourselves. KDH will surely have other suitors, and will cost a hefty sum, having signed a contract until 2027. It is still fun to speculate though. A possible midfield of Dewsbury Hall, Nakamba, Pelly looks very suited to the demands of Premier League football. This would be an incredible piece of business if the Hatters could somehow pull it off. 

There will be many more articles coming very soon analysing transfer rumours, including how likely they are, where the player would fit, and how effective they would be.

Brighton 4 Luton Town 1

A massive day in Brighton yesterday, as the Hatters roared on by 3001 fans and a few extras in the prawn sandwich areas, scored their first ever goal in the Premier League. Yes, Brighton got a few more, but plenty of encouraging signs on the south coast. Five debutants in the Luton Town starting XI - the keeper Kaminski, plus Kabore, Giles, Andersen, and Chong. Bell, Morris and Elijah the only starting survivors of last year's opener at the Kenny against Birmingham at the end of July 2022. For over 30 minutes I thought we looked comfortable. So much so I took a photo of the scoreboard. Brighton had the first booking, and Chong made a great start in midfield, looking committed. Mitoma - later booked for kicking the ball into the crowd - looked a class act throughout the game, and it was his cross late in the first half that saw Bell caught slightly under the ball, and March headed in the opener. Typical Luton we came straight back and forced a corner. A great delivery saw Morris pow...

Chelsea 3 Town 0

  Another view from the prawn seats, and a Friday evening trip to the Bridge. Last time I was there as a student Chelsea had a temporary stand and were managed by Glen Hoddle. Now they've got a billionaire in charge, not the Russian but Todd Boehly, who has so far bought 27 players for a sum just shy of £900 million.  Two changes from Super Robbie included a welcome return at the back for Reece Burke, and a surprise start in midfield for ex-blue Ross Barkley. Andersen and Pelly dropped to the bench.  Town made a very tidy start. You could immediately see Barkley's top flight experience when inside two minutes he won a free kick just inside the Chelsea half simply be retaining possession of the ball when challenged. Chong then robbed the £100+ million pound Caicedo a few minutes later, burst forward, before smashing it well wide of the post. Another £100+ million player Enzo escaped a clear yellow for a nasty slap on Kabore, before the same Chelsea player missed a great ch...
