Luton v Middlesbrough

[1973Blade]

Of course a draw would be perfect, but I would rather Luton win on Monday than Middlesbrough. I can see Middlesbrough winning all their remaining games this season, when they are in form it is difficult to stop them.

Who cares?…..we win one more we are up

 

[sufcboy95]

it’s irrelevant. There’s no way we’re not winning at least 1 of remaining games.
Although I don’t think it will come against West Brom

 

[Guesty]

A draw would be best purely because then a draw against West Brom would take us up. In front of fans, at home. Just imagine!

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

It doesn't matter anymore but surely a Boro win would better than Luton winning?

I agree but like a few have said, Saturday at home to PNE would be better for the celebrations.

 

[ChrisBlade]

Draw best. Luton win second best as they will draw at Blackburn.

 

[NAP]

C’mon. A draw takes us up. No way will a 12 goal difference be turned around between us and Luton.

 

[Greasy Chap Butty]

Logical brain says a draw, to seal promotion.

Emotional brain says a win to either, so we can seal the deal with a home win against WBA.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Be great watching two teams ripping each other apart.

famous last words! If we get a couple of injuries/red cards at wembley we could very well eff it up in true Blades style

at home yes away not so much
we have now earnt more points than them this calendar year
so if you think they can win all their games we must be a shoe in

I get your thinking, we only need two draws regardless what Boro do, as others have said I think we are up regardless but if the biggest fuckup in the history of this club was to happen then I can see why you fear Boro

deary me ,,,,, astounding thought processes

true blades style
unless 6 get arrested and sent to jail for rape rapidly theres no reason for us to fail
tell me in the past 7 seasons when we have fucked it up
relegation from the prem always possible to clubs with poor funds
but
league 1 champions
10th 1st season back in championship
auto promotion from championship
9th in the prem with crowds in
relegated with empty soulless stadia
championship 5th play offs
championship runners up


now thats the current blades way

 

[HeCanDoMagic]

Draw draw draw.

That's the spirit

 

[SUFC Guy]

Draw for me please

 

[Torrix1889]

Luton v Boro draw won't officially seal it, although Luton would need a 12 goal swing. But then we would only need to draw v West Brom...that will all do for me...get it done with 3 games to spare, no final day drama required, leave that to the play-off chasers...

To be fair we prefer teams to come at us

at home yes away not so much
we have now earnt more points than them this calendar year

Since 3 points for win came in in 81-2, we have only got less than 3 points in our last 4 games in 84-5, 97-8 04-05, and 12-13.

84-5 we struggled against relegation from tier 2,but luckily there were 3 teams even more shit than us and we were pretty much safe by mid April. As such. We kind of gave up and in our last 4 games. Lost 2-0 at Man City, lost 1-0 and 3-1 at home to Shrewsbury and Blackburn thed drew 2-2 at Huddersfield to finish 18th.

97-8, we looked a shoe in for the play offs, but then did our best to mess it up, losing 4-2 at home to WBA,drawing 3-3 at Tranmere and then losing 2-1 and 1-0 at Crewe and Stockport. We scraped into the play offs on goals scored after Birmingham failed win their last game.

Again in 04-05, we were looking good for the play offs, but proceeded to self destruct. Losing 1-0 at home to Derby, drawing 0-0 at Watford, then losing 1-0 at home to Millwall and 4-2 at Wolves to finish 8th.

12-13 saw us still in the hunt for automatic promotion in early April. But then Wilson got sacked after we lost to Crawley and Morgan put in charge. Though he won his face game, we then drew 2-2 home to Brentford, lost 3-0 at relegated Portsmouth and 1-0 at Crewe. Finishing with a 0-0 draw at home to Preston and sliding pathetically into the play offs where we lost to the might of Yeovil.

Not gonna happen this season.

 

[Trafford]

C’mon. A draw takes us up. No way will a 12 goal difference be turned around between us and Luton.

I agree BUT if they did end up on the same points, we would have lost 3 and they would have won 2, so a 12 goal swing wouldn’t be unrealistic.

 

[Sheffsteel]

Luton have a really tough set of fixtures, there's no way they are winning them all.
Boro have a better chance to win them all but it's unlikely.

We might have enough points already, however I reckon 1 or 2 points should be enough.

There's as much chance us pipping Burnley to become Champions than there is Luton or Boro pipping us.
Basically it's over, Burnley have won the league and we are promoted.

Come on if city can only score one against Bayern they are not going to score against Wes

 

[Davalon]

Draw has to be the best result.

Beggars can't be choosers but after the last two Prem promotions, it would be nice to actually do it ourselves at a game.

 

[wadblade]

last night at about 9pm both Luton and Boro were losing we are up
2minutes later all changed
life can be so cruel
UTB hopefully

There'd have to be a couple of 3-0 wins / losses for that to happen. If Luton won both their final games 2-0 and we lose our final games 0-2, that's only a ten goal swing. Even if they made up the 12 goal swing we'd still be above them on goals scored. They'd need a 13 goal swing due to goals scored.

It's strange to think we could quite easily lose all our last 4 games and still be promoted automatically having lost 14 games.

 

[ben1987]

I want that P by our name on the league table as soon as possible so I hope they draw.

I’d then like Luton to come up through the play offs. They’ve done really well since getting up to the championship. They’re probably less likely to do well in the prem compared to boro. Boros fans have come across as a set of arrogant twats for a lot of the season so fuck em.

Should do well on Saturday then

 

[Eric_Brooks]

A draw and we probably don’t even need another point
