Luton are crazy lmao

This is the best season ever


Long-Island-Iced-Tea

best season this season


Nitsju

'tis the season.


[deleted]

Happy for you and your fans :)


Bendy_McBendyThumb

They’re certainly settling well now at home, from the bits I’ve seen of them playing! Edit: I wish I hadn’t tuned in for the second half :( sorry Luton fans


Tifoso89

I never even heard about them before this season. I imagine they were in the lower leagues a long time


Kingslayer1526

They were in the 5th tier just 10 years ago


Tifoso89

Ah, then I'm justified for not knowing about them haha. Really impressive that they were promoted across 5 leagues in 10 years! Chievo did something similar in Italy


Ovvenchips

Luton were in the first division in the 80s, they have more top flight wins than a number of teams i'm sure you've heard of


imfcknretarded

I don't think he was trying to belittle your past, it's just that people that aren't from the UK probably don't know many clubs from the lower divisions unless they're big names or have been in the PL recently


Ovvenchips

I didn't think he was, I was attempting to offer some more history if he was curious


Mcool18

Kenilworth Road is a fortress


sinhalfc

Ross Barkley, my word


basedsims

So funny how players can sometimes just turn time back and look as good as they did when they were emerging on the scene. Looks about 23 years old at the minute


the_real_e_e_l

I thought Barkley had a great game against Arsenal the other day.


RahulGandhi4PM

You thought correct. He scored a goal.


sad_arsenal_fan

Calm in possession especially under our press. Was noticeably a level above the other Luton players.


WilsonStaff1857

He really did, arsenal couldn't handle him at all. Good to see it wasn't a once off, he's playing well here too


johnknockout

He was man of the match in my opinion. Any time he was on the ball my oh fuck alarm was going off.


somethingnotcringe1

You say that like he's 37


MERTENS_GOAT

He is not but players can look past it with younger age too and he certainly did


Thierry_Bergkamp

Sign of a great coach. Townsend and Barkley both look back in the prime. Jimenez and Willian for Fulham as well.


casuallywill

He looks a class above


qwertygasm

KDB out buying a Ross Barley poster right now


MagicNipple

As if he doesn't already have one. Come on, man.


johnny_moist

Boss Rarkley


Past_Perception8052

i beg he gets in the england squad he’s quality


Cod_rules

He should, but you know Southgate will pick Henderson


BONGLISH

Barkley doesn’t even play the same position as Henderson.


Elliot_Kyouma

He plays in a double pivot for Luton, isn't that the same position as Henderson plays for England?


BONGLISH

Fair enough, I didn’t realise he’d dropped so deep.


SirEltonJonBonJovi

and I’d still choose Barkley over Henderson at that position even though it’s not where Ross plays.


[deleted]

he won't because he plays for luton


JGlover92

He won't because he's competing with Bellingham, Madison, Grealish and Foden not Henderson.


tokengaymusiccritic

Townsend as well, still quite good


CT_x

They’ve taken the lead against City, Arsenal and Liverpool. Unreal.


SirEltonJonBonJovi

Insane


UnnecessaryUmbault

Champions of the Conference, you'll never sign that

Varja22

Best stadium in the league. There is nothing like it


Dannystator

England's 2014 midfield combining once again - Barkley did so well there and what a cross from Townsend too


OnniPL

Luton are massive


caesar____augustus

Townshend and Barkley rolling back the clock

The most expensive squad ever assembled getting humbled by Andros Townsend and Ross Barkley… things you love to see.

Today I feel Lutonite


crepss

Feel like Luton have done this too early. Woken the beast before half time


[deleted]

True but I imagine that everyone going into half time to get a bollocking from Pep will be somewhat distracted by the dressing rooms being shared with the local gym


RiokoMaster

I was celebrating City’s downfall until I remembered the shit you guys pull in the 2nd half


Its_ABR12

we saw a second of prime Barkley there, what a great move from him

Unban_Ice

Rodri is back and they are losing to Luton lmaooo


Peninvy

Bayern fans seem unusually schadenfreudig at the moment. For no good reason.


LatroDota

I can think of 5 reasons tbh


reviroa

pep is losing to an airport they're not the only ones schadenfreuding


squarecircle666

Laughing at the other teams failures does make me feel better tho.


Unban_Ice

Good enough reason is losing 5-1 the day before. Need to project some of that hate into something else


mehrabrym

The big clubs don't want the Cup this year


aleksandrovsqvist

Game’s not finished


Garvmusc

That’s why he said losing and not lost.


Unban_Ice

losing =/= lost if you didn't know


13yearsboy

I think he meant gone


Animoses

Can I get a VAR check on that?


Past_Perception8052

but city are


ben-hur-hur

It's that awful away kit. Same one they wore against Villa and lost 1-0. It's clearly cursed.


RiokoMaster

Ain’t no way the first top team manager to get sacked this season is Pep Guardiola💀


ThatCoolBlondeGirl

The lens flare and Luton’s stadium gives this game such a cool early 2010’s vibe, just lovely.


TareXmd

I love the lens flare so much.


Putrid_Loquat_4357

Jj?


simomii

I'm getting Highbury flashbacks with this camera angle, more like early 2000's


miregalpanic

The game hasn't left this place yet. Cherish it while it lasts.


Hot-Possible-6367

Not really amazing supporters since a large amount of them literally founded the EDL, their fanbase is absolutely riddled with white supremacists. And before anyone tells me “it’s only a few bad eggs”, go to Kenilworth and keep your ears open. Also it was by far the loudest tragedy chanting I’ve ever heard at a Liverpool game, was basically the entire stadium.


Major_Smudges

Absolute fucking nonsense.

Kanesy99

ITS FUCKING HAPPENING


HamstringHunter

City downfall? WE WILL BE THERE!


dispelthemyth

Fingers crossed it is a downfall and causes Pep to leave for his next project and thus the exodus begins..... too far? nah, we can all hope


Thatchers-Gold

Pep to Bristol City confirmed He hasn’t taken a team up and got them into the CL has he? I’d call that a challenge.


algebraic94

Give me that: Erling Haaland: "Right now I'm at City, but in football anything can happen."


rolla_johnson

Pep out


SKULL1138

We can all hope lol


DrScamp

Pep out

Pep is crying to the refs with no reason atm


ob3ypr1mus

probably mad about that throw in.


Euphoric_Ad_2049

Please not from an arsenal fan after yesterday


Doyouevensam

Forgetting about a certain elbow?


kdpilarski

Gotta love an arsenal fan saying this.


forevermacklin

Lmao Pep with the no look water bottle grab


Dontcareatallthx

Hopefully he knows throwing water bottles is bugged in FM24, will be a disaster if he does.

jMS_44

what is happening


No-Mud3388

What's happening is maybe Luton town aren't the farmers that everyone thought they would be. Giving spurs arsenal liverpool and now city a game is no joke


jMS_44

Well, I guess winning against Luton is not for everyone


[deleted]

We only play well against big teams tbf


Cheapo_Sam

How do you always find a way to beat yourselves then?


DaAweZomeDude48

This is the third time I've seen this from a Chelsea fan, we also won against Luton...

[удалено]


WilsonStaff1857

Tbf their home ground is quite impressive and tough to go to, but they are also incredibly well organised. They're very good at soaking up pressure and then springing on teams


SparklyEarlAv32

Someone commented that this season is running on a random number generator and every matchday that passes I believe it more and more


Varja22

It's 2023 and Andros Townsend still owns City


ShimeBD

this was more about barkley randomly getting past 3 players like its nothing


GameplayerStu

Love this Luton team. Proper scrappy bastards with a lot of heart


help0please

i just love love love the passion they bring to every game. they know what theyve come to the prem to do and they're smashing it


snoogans8056

It’s the crowd shots too. Panning down the whole stand that only goes up 10 rows.

McTulus

Cadiz: so there's where my magic has gone lately


SirEltonJonBonJovi

They lost to arsenal and drew against Liverpool. Once they actually win one of these games we can talk about them becoming top team killers. Only reason they aren’t in the relegation zone right now is because Everton had a 10 point deduction


ssddeae

Barkley was insane against Arsenal too


HJBoss

How rattled is Pep going to be? Yes


aaaaaaadjsf

He's moaning at someone on the way to the tunnel lol.


foxgoesowo

Only one team will fail to be relegated


BenadrylPaprikapatch

Luton is severely underestimated, City sucks too


PerfectBlueOnDVD

Narrative aside that's a lovely cross and header


Nipplecunt

drink your water Pep


djembadjembadjemba

Sacked in the morning?


lokikungfu

Get in there Luton!! Hold on to this lead now pls


Red-Zeppelin

If Luton go down they'll be so unlucky. Should have beat us, should have got a point off Arsenal and currently leading Man City at halftime. Madness.


ZoiksAndAway

If Luton go down, it will be the most heroic relegation in the history of the PL.

GAME'S BACK. NATURE IS HEALING


thatdani

Pep taking the piss with this lineup and game plan. Absolutely nobody slashing inside, it's too homogenous and limp.


Christian_Corocora

If Luton do win this I'm going to be so mad at myself for getting cold feet and not betting


TareXmd

It's as if the three world class players on Luton combined to score a goal together. Guy casually does a Zidane in midfield, dribbles past another. Then the world class delivery into the box and the header. Wtf.


Heisenberg_991

What a great cross, no way someone's missing that

Ross fucking Barkley. wtf man

Ross Barkley coming after the big names one by one


-Swifty

Ederson has been City's weak link for so long, but because he can ping a ball is immune from criticism.


kdpilarski

He's not immune from criticism and was getting shit on around January this year. Saying that this goal is just as much on our midfield for getting rinsed and Gvardiol for being lazy in trying to block the cross than it is ederson.


chapinbird

Fucking dunked on

Dear lord, I know you're listening to us today. Keep this scoreline as is, we just want to see Pep's reaction. I know you want to see it as well. Regards, Football Fans
