Sport music and fitness mad Hatter, live each day as if it's your last!

[Steve @stevekmad]

@Kooshykooooooo @rajprem1 And also missed the first test because of the IPL

[Steve @stevekmad]

@nicksutton84 @upthetown1989 Also Ngoy had a terrible injury record, so definitely surprised we didn’t sign him 😂

[Steve @stevekmad]

@OakRoadHatter @HullCity @premierleague @Boro Could make it more complicated as will have a promotion wage wise in his contract and therefore more harder for us to meet his terms

[Steve @stevekmad]

@vervedaily They were good live too, as you would expect.

Anyone with any knowledge of English football history will know that it is ridiculous for Southampton’s chief executive, Phil Parsons, to claim that their expulsion from the Championship play-offs is a bigger punishment than the 30-point deduction imposed on Luton Town in 2008 which led to relegation and almost throttled the life out of the club. Absolutely no comparison and completely weakens Southampton’s attempted argument that being thrown out of the play-offs is “manifestly disproportionate to every previous sanction in the history of the English game”.

There is some good stuff in Parsons’ statement: accepting culpability for Spygate, apologising to those clubs they spied on and apologising to their fans “whose extraordinary loyalty and support this season deserved better from the club”. Well said. But… the rules changed since Leeds United’s “similar offence” in 2019, there is no right to the £200m (it’s not a fine), and to play the whataboutery game and make the comparison with the Hatters is, fittingly, mad. Southampton’s reputation is certainly damaged but at least their very existence is not at risk. #SaintsFC #LTFC

@vervedaily A great song sadly very over produced on the album. I personally preferred the less polished early live versions of it also. But definitely showcases the talents of the band as a collective

[Steve @stevekmad]

@OakRoadHatter @LutonTownExile @SkyBetLeagueOne Will massively impact us next season. Going to be up against Leicester, Wednesday, Bradford, Huddersfield and Plymouth with much bigger avg attendances and therefore income. The only way round it will be player sales

[Steve @stevekmad]

@LutonNews_LTFC I definitely think we will release all of them that are out of contract, try and sell those that they can (Alli, Nordas, Yates) and loan out the rest. I think the only ones that JW might keep (besides Kodua) would be Archer and possibly Walters.

[Steve @stevekmad]

@MISTERPDW @PCollinson24 @LTFC_Dave Our chances of signing him will be hampered by the League 1 spending restrictions. Relegated clubs get 1 season leeway so them and champ clubs likely to be better placed to sign him

[Steve @stevekmad]

@LutonTown Hopefully you will also be clipping up the through ball for Lawrence in the first half too 👌

[Steve @stevekmad]

@callumLtfc @RodMurrell1 @ltfcat To be fair it was Walsh who lost him in the first place, so not completely VDBs fault

[Steve @stevekmad]

@andy_jones23 I suspect some of our supporters will be hoping we lose next week so they can moan about the players and board

[Steve @stevekmad]

@Tim_Burgess The Verve supporting Oasis in 97. Turin Brakes supporting Stereophonics and The Rifles supporting Ash and Arctic Monkeys supporting Maximo Park just a few that have either gone on to bigger things or really got into

[Steve @stevekmad]

@hatterneil @kevlennon1 He did the same at West Ham and various other occasions, a complete lightweight and liability and was glad to see the back of him

[Steve @stevekmad]

@vervedaily @MoniqueSchramm Quicksilver was a great tune.

[Steve @stevekmad]

@oro7777777 @KieranMaguire Yes I think you are right about the transition period, as I believe the restrictions hit us (Luton) harder next season if we are still in L1

[Steve @stevekmad]

@oro7777777 @KieranMaguire I believe they have Salary Cost Management Protocol (SCMP) in League 1 where a clubs total player wages must not exceed 60% of turnover

[Steve @stevekmad]

@KieranMaguire Will they get parachute payments in 27-28? If so, I presume they also can borrow against these should they wish?

@BiddleeeW Billy Davey’s Daughter - Stereophonics

[Steve @stevekmad]

@BepSquare @secondtierpod I’m pretty sure you had his brother Simon. Who had a much better career
