Wow for the second time on this thread I get to be able to say a "you should have asked us" moment.... Dear Story Teller, I note with interest that you are stating your success in cutting your operational expenses by 30% so far this season. I am sure as a CEO that you are very proud of such a major reduction. However, if you had bothered to check out some fairly conclusive, and local empirical evidence, you would have seen that such a pathetic attempt at a cut-back was doomed to failure. Why only a few miles up the road, a similar succession of catastrophic events was, only a few months ago, the subject of exactly the same cost reduction exercise. The previous regime felt that cutting back by 30% would do the trick. The resulting loss of customer loyalty playing quality and general motivation of all parties concerned didn't work here either. Just give it up, save your fans the PR rubbish and admit it, you have, like the crazy gang here screwed up. Your club is dead, the longer you leave it the worse it will be. 30% didn't work for Rupert and his "well run ship", it's laughable to think it would work for your ludicrous la-la land spending. See, I could have saved you months of agony, (but to be fair you wouldn't have got all those airmiles from that big rescue trip of yours, bet it was in Biz class as well) It's amazing how prescient Douglas Adams really was. So long and thanks for all the fish.

Thank FOOK for that, well done to Luton for making it bloody hard work

That should please Alpine:D

Hammond off and Olly Lancashire on

Ah it's YOUR fault after all. trousers - stick around false alarm

4 mins added time Morgan good run Lallana 6 feet wide

Patto gone right Lallana left Gobern in the middle of a 3 man group Lambo up frint alone

Gobern on Papa off

Anyone else having a worrying sense of deja vu? Last 10 minutes worrying, just like last season FFS

Ah ha just over 18.000 not bad shame they've watched us play badly

And the middle, not to mention up front Morgan booked, suspension looms

Ah ha, Luton are playing on Orange. Finally a fact. Still no sign of the attendance figure though

Getting really worried my prediction league score is looking worryingly close to being a possibility. FFS get a grip. We seem to be running out of steam big time

Merrington deftly avoids the "were you in charge when MLT scored a couple against Luton in 95 Dave" question. Oh btw Arizona, we stayed 4-4-2 and KD bangs it route one directly into the Luton box (bounced and we had a half chance!)

Lallana on left, Patto up front, Patto getting involved nearly set up Lambert, but was lucky not to get a yellow or worse another rush of blood

Antonio off so we'll see if he can help us keep the ball or if we needed some help to get it

Ah of course, saw that coming, we're getting run ragged so we're briinging on Patterson

Wotton time methinks 4-5-1 Antonio or Papa has to go we getting run ragged

Think we should rename this the expat thread. Good job Lallana didn't convert that golden goal chance. Luton miss three sitters What's going on?

Waigo poor first touch hits it wide

luckily not as poor as the Skates at the mo

Lallana should have scored after 15 seconds and then again feck could have scored twice while waiting for the forum to let me make another post

lol Double subs for Luton

Wages may be paid Monday or Tuesday. I thought Monday was a bank holiday? Nice survival plan. Try and sell who they can, don't pay the others on big long contracts so they can all walk, then go and pick up some 4k a week bargains from the scrap heap.

Ah that's a lot easier than weather reports. Type away until just after HT, then feck off and log in again 4 more times before the end of the game
