Mat Kendrick and Pete Colley don't half get some stick on Twitter.
Why?

Any time I see Colley's name mentioned I always remember Doug describing him as "the big C" in a presser. Made me smile at the time, makes me smile now.

Ampthill. Now there's a crap place. That's in Bedfordshire.

Harsh that's where I spent most of my youth, it's pretty dull but pleasant enough.

My brother moved from Luton to there, its quite quaint with some nice pubs and nice countryside, moving from Luton makes it seem far better than it probably is, its better than Flitwick i suppose.

Howdy ex neighbour! I was brought up in Maulden, which is between Ampthill and Clophill. It had five pubs then, ideal for my underage drinking phase.

Which digressions all go to show what utter slackers Aston Villa are. Why have we had to wait so many days for another transfer?! :-)

I know Maulden well, I still go down the White Hart sometimes.

My old dear goes there quite regular for food,this is turning into a Bedfordshire love in !!

A good choice & we lived 5 mins walk from the White Hart. As 16-17 year olds, we favoured the George. Nice ale and sausage n chips in a basket. It was boarded up the last time I drove past about a year ago. Pub food in a basket-another great thing ruined by elfin safety.

We would stun the Luton fans if we sang 'We love you Ampthill, we do; We like you Clophill, we do; We quite like Maulden, we do; But Luton, we hate you.'

I live in Luton its fucking awful

Well I live just north of Luton and it is far from awful. While I dont go near the town centre, there are some nice places in and around the area, just like many places in Birmingham

Why?

People claiming to be ITK calling them liars just because Kendrick/Colley have said that we're not in for this Japanese player.

Unfotrunately, I am not posh enough to live there lol, not far from luton at all but think that is actually classed as Hertfordshire. Think lots of Arsenal players used to live in the area, Lee Dixon for sure

I sang with a band in the Luton area in the mid - late 70's and it was great. I'll always remember Luton.

Back then, Luton was a cross-genre extravaganza, musically speaking. You just didn't know what would happen next.

When I first moved here, there were masses of pubs everywhere, was great atmosphere in town, how times have seemingly changed

Am I the only person on this forum who hasn't lived in Luton?
