Who do I hope gets relegated tomorrow (well I'm writing this so late, it's actually later today)? My preference would be Everton and Leeds, but I think Everton will somehow survive. Again. I like Leicester, but likability is not enough in a relegation scrap. And congratulations to Luton for getting promoted to the Premier League. I don't follow the Championship at all, so I had no idea they were even a serious contender. Last I knew they were non-league, so that is quite an impressive turnaround. Especially for a club in one of the worst cities in the UK. But I have a certain fondness for Luton growing up - perhaps because they had a lot of parallels with Oldham Athletic (a plastic pitch, limited success in cup and league competition, a history of financial mismanagement), perhaps because I liked David Pleat as a manager, perhaps because one of my childhood friends was a Luton supporter (most people at school were either Arsenal or Spurs fans, so I respected someone supporting Luton). And it's good to have a team with such a small capacity stadium in the top league, even if it's only for one season.
