Luton wins! Wheee can I buy gear? They’re my new team to follow. I know nothing about them other than the Hatters name
Wrapping it up- Memorial Day Weekend Game Thread

Thanks! I tried to become a Mainz supporter but it was hard to keep up (wife grew up in Weisbaden). Luton will be easier - even if it as short stay up.
When two smaller town English clubs play, I usually go for whichever one has a better Monty Python reference.
This one was tough, as Coventry City have the famous reference in the "World Forum" sketch where Che Guevara, Lenin, Mao, and Marx all miss the question, "Coventry City have last won the English football cup in which year?"
It's a trick question, as Coventry City have never won the FA Cup. (Was true for about a decade after the sketch, then they did win it.)

But Luton have the "plane to Cuba hijacked to Luton" sketch:

And the Election Night Silly Party sketch, where the Silly Party has taken Luton:

I would guess that today Luton, normally a very sensible constituency with a high proportion of people who aren't a bit silly, has gone completely ga-ga.

Heidenheim goes from 3rd place (two leg playoff with Stuttgart for promotion) to 1st place with two goals in stoppage time at Regensburg.
It will be Stuttgart vs Hamburg in the playoff.

Leeds a goal down to Spurs, so not looking good for them.
Everton are having a bit of joy with Gray and McNeil, but a quality final ball hasn't been delivered thus far.
If Leicester score first in their match i fear for Everton.

Barnes puts Leicester ahead. Everton need a goal. Fuckin hell - you can feel the stress in the stadium.
That is crazy! I was watching the pitch invasion in Hamburg, and that was going on. Wow!
Hard to tell where a goal for Everton can come from. They really miss DCL.
Big half time talk for Dyche here.

They don’t have anyone to get shots, so they should just pump it into the box as much as possible and hope they can pounce on a loose ball.
I was thinking do they bring on Simms or Maupay? Throw the kid in or the veteran who can't score to save his life.
Everton trying to defend a lead against Bournemouth is very much a resistance force meeting a movable object.
I know it’s meaningless but this pickup game in Southampton sure is fun. 2-0 Liverpool early then 4 straight for the Saints followed by 2 goals in 2 mins for Liverpool. 4-4.
I'd love to see Everton just get hold of the ball and pass it around. Nothing fancy, just play some football.
Leicester City join Blackburn in the "Former Premier League Champions that have been relegated" club.
This was me. And an Everton fan showed up at the bar so I was watching it through his eyes. That was intense and a lot of fun. Congrats OCST
Pretty much the same. Never had much animosity toward the Blue half and happy they survived. Good on ya @OCST
