Apart from all that we also need Liverpool to win the league, as they
did in the last three seasons when we have been promoted to the top
division (in 1964, 1990 and 2020). That could happen.
That is of course the reason that it took so long for us to get promoted
back to the Premier League, as we had to wait for them to break their 30
spell of not winning the league.
Watching the EFL highligts last night it was deeply hilarious to see
Ipswich go 3-0 down in the manner they did, but I fear that Kieffer
Moore will be an excellent loan signing for them and get a few goals by
the end of the season.

Subject: [LU] The Story So Far
Ipswich's defeat by Preston confirms that our principle barrier to
automatic promotion should be based on maintaining consistency in our
results, followed closely by squad fitness and only then by hoping
Southampton get deducted 10 points for er, being Southampton. Why do I
say this? Well mainly because our situation has always been in our own
hands. Think Wendies, Rotherham, Sunderland, etc etc..
As regards a cup run, half of me thinks "ah the magic of the cup" and
the other half thinks "it is adiversion from the real target". Mind you
the thought of winning the cup, staying in this rather lovely league and
laughing at Liverpool as we beat them at Wembley plus a trip round
Europe has it's merits.
One other thought, I feel our on field discipline is the best I have
ever seen (excluding the red card issues which seem to have been
resolved). If I had time I would look into this further. (Where are the
Stattos when we need them?)
In the past three years I have seen every Leeds match bar one from the
comfort of the armchair (thank you whoever dreamt up Amazon's Firestick)
and, although I miss being on Row W, the Adolphi and the fun of "Spadge
Tours" to Europe, at 70 I am happy with my lot. Me and my mate Brian
have had a lot of fun doing this much to the amusement of our fellow
villagers in the pub either before or after matches. They are mainly
Mags or Mackems and they provide us with lots of fun. I mean only
drawing four all with a big club like Luton. And what fun when they
played each other in the cup.
I digress. Anyway here's to a season which continues to keep my
attention firmly fixed on the league and a season where we remain
unbeaten at home.
