What, pointing out that league position after 46 games makes one team better than the other over a whole season?

so our performance over the last 57 years is better than theirs - currently our form is very similar taking away our disrupted start - but you were also telling us the same about middlesboro - and not sure why we bothered turning up

 

[TomRad85]

It will be the biggest game for me and obviously important for the club when you bear in mind the riches that come with it, but i also appreciate 50 years from now it will be pretty insignificant whereas the cup win is etched into the clubs and general sporting history.

If I thought we had no chance I wouldn’t have gone to Boro nor would I be going to Wembley…

Our younger supporters have had a great time. They are about to have their 3rd visit to Wembley in 6 years. That's more than the previous 134 years. We had to wait 50 years for a top 6 finish. Not only has the last 6 years given us a few top 6 finishes it has also given us a 1st

You can say fans in the last 6 years have had more to enjoy but for those of us watching in the 90s, we had the joy of Sonya singing live on the pitch at HR. Half the kids nowadays don't even know who she is

She's aged a bit since then.... (pic from Sun article using BBC pics)

I've decided that i am almost certainly overconfident because it is 'just' Luton rather than any number of bigger/more glamorous sides. I know this is wrong but whatever the reason is i'm feeling this way i'll take it because i sure as shit haven't felt like that for the last 3 games vs Boro and it turned me into a nervous wreck.

BTW for the omen hunters, Spurs finished 3rd in the league in 87.

No - you need to take your email confirmation to Wembley on Saturday, queue for at least 10 hours to collect the ticket from the single office window only for the turn style to refuse you entry because the ticket has been used by somebody else due to duplicates being sold

ok thanks mate, i’ve never been before, i’ve heard you have to wear trousers otherwise you won’t get in, can you confirm if this is true or not. Thanks

its when some fool posts his on facebook, only for somebody to take a screenshot and at the same time his seat

I can tell - men have to wear a short skirt and women baggy trousers. No football shirts allowed in case it offends somebody

Exeter finished 4th and we finished 6th in 2018. League 2 equivalent of 3rd vs 5th in the Champ.

so basically dress like @Bugsy

Can't decide who'd win a missing the point competition between you and slowpoke, would be close.

Luton have clearly been the better team over the 46 game season.

However I suppose the question is what relevance do games played last August have on ability now?

Weird little c**t ain't ya Gooch. Piss off with your fixation on me..

what’s a Gooch? i was joking mate, sorry if i offended you in any way

 

[Johhny Blue]

Yeah, also no liquids over 100ml.

And can we assume you’re already not allowed sharp objects?

 

[procdoc]

Lied about Middlesbrough.

They were still considered the favourites prior to the match so your point makes absolutely no sense

 

[Grendel]

The 87 Cup final, Tottenham were favourites and man for man were the better side but when it's a one off game anything can happen.

A lot of people say that but we had some momentum

We had beaten them in the last game we played and they had lost 3 of the last 4 league games

Although they finished third the points margin between the clubs was only 8 points - we were only 3 points off 6th

 

[San Francisco]

And can we assume you’re already not allowed sharp objects?

No need, you're provided with them once you get there. Your choice whether you want them in the neck, chest or back.

 

[Johhny Blue]

My friend just won 2 tickets for the game including overnight accomodation. Bad timing as his wedding is on Saturday.
He’s looking for someone to take his place. It’s 3:30 at the registry office. Her name is Angela and she’ll be the one in the white dress

and me mate, f**k all this class a bollocks

 

[Finham]

Why does every thread have to turn into "This is bigger than 87!"? It's extremely annoying if you don't think it is.

 

[Nuskyblue]

Good man. Coincidentally your bollocks are treated to an invigorating breeze in assless chaps which is class

 

[shmmeee]

Chills

 

[procdoc]

Chills

Are they multiplying? Are you losing control?

The only reason it is bigger it is here and now not 36 years ago
