They Tried To Kill Us Off

Details

Welcome to They Tried To Kill Us Off – the newly independent Luton Town podcast, hosted by Kev and Jimbo. If you've noticed things look a little different... don't worry. You're in exactly the right place. After nine seasons as the Luton Town Supporters' Trust Podcast, we're starting a new chapter. We're now an independent podcast, but we're still the same podcast you've been listening to and watching since 2017. And if you're already subscribed to this podcast, you don't need to do a thing. Your subscription stays exactly where it is and you'll continue to get all our podcasts here as normal. Our new moniker comes from a famous chant every Luton supporter knows. It's about resilience, sticking together and refusing to be beaten. Luton against the world. We think it perfectly captures what supporting this football club is all about. We'd like to say a huge thank you to everyone at the Luton Town Supporters' Trust for their support over the past nine seasons and for helping us get to where we are today. We're incredibly grateful for everything we've been able to do together and we're delighted that the podcast can continue into this new chapter. And while this podcast channel remains exactly where it is, we've also got brand new social media accounts. We'd really appreciate it if you'd followed us there as well and join us for the next chapter: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheyTriedPod  Facebook: facebook.com/TheyTriedLTFC X: x.com/TheyTriedLTFC Instagram: instagram.com/TheyTriedLTFC

GENIUS or STUPID?! PENALTY or NOT? HANDBAGS & GLAD MADS! | Luton 2 Barnsley 1 + Leicester preview
LUTON ARE BACK TO WINNING WAYS! 🙌 But did we witness a stroke of GENIUS or a bit of STUPIDITY?! Kev is joined by The Lutonian journalist James Cunliffe to look back on Luton's much-needed 2-1 victory over Barnsley at Kenilworth Road — and look ahead to Saturday's tricky test against Leicester City — all in one combined, packed episode of They Tried To Kill Us Off! The Hatters got the job done on Tuesday night, but what looked better about the performance? What still needs work? And did Luton get away with one when Barnsley appealed for a late penalty? We also debate some of Jack Wilshere's daring decisions, with Kev giving his verdict on whether they were good or bad. Mads Andersen scored and picked up the man-of-the-match award — after Kev had called for him to be benched! Or did he say he should play up front? Has the big Dane defender proved a point, and will Kev be eating his words? And what about the MASSIVE end-of-match handbags between players and staff after a confrontation between Wilshere and Barnsley boss Daniel Stendel? We're not supposed to love a football fracas… but let's be honest, we secretly do! 😂 Then it's on to the Foxes. The 2016 Premier League champions are next up at Kenilworth Road, but what makes them dangerous, and what will Luton need to get right to take all three points? Plus, we read YOUR comments, bring you the longest list of shoutouts in the three-year history of our video podcasts and make our score predictions! What are yours? 🎙️ The award-nominated, independent Luton Town podcast — made by Hatters, for Hatters. 💬 What did you make of the Barnsley performance? Was Wilshere's decision-making genius or stupidity? Did Andersen prove Kev wrong? And whose side are you on after the handbags? How confident are you ahead of Leicester?

MK Dons 2 Luton 1: We CLASH over Hatters' crash! Was it THAT bad? What next for Jack?
Luton Town's first trip to Stadium MK ended in a 2-1 defeat – and Kev and Jimbo are NOT seeing eye to eye! A spectacular Alex Gilbey strike, a costly mistake and a frustrating afternoon in Milton Keynes leave plenty to argue about on the latest episode of They Tried To Kill Us Off, the award-nominated independent Luton Town podcast. Kev is not happy, and The Lutonian journalist James Cunliffe joins him to dissect the good, the bad and the ugly of the defeat. Was the performance really as bad as some of the post-match reaction suggested? Did Luton do enough to win? And was Gilbey's opener a lucky fluke or a wonder strike? Let's just say they don't agree! We also debate whether Jack Wilshere's time as Luton boss is up, why losing to MK Dons has provoked such a strong reaction. With the season approaching the 10-game mark, we look at the bigger picture, what needs to change and what comes next for the Hatters. Plus, we get stuck into your comments. It's a tetchy one. Expect strong opinions, plenty of disagreement and a proper post-match debate. What did YOU make of the performance?

MK Dons v Luton: Team BOYCOTT or Hatters INVASION? - “I'm GRATEFUL they didn't STEAL our club”
MK Dons v Luton Town is about much more than three points. 👀 For the first time, the Hatters head to Stadium MK — but the fixture carries decades of history, resentment and a reminder of how close Luton came to losing our club. Kev is “eternally grateful for those that fought so that they didn't steal our club”, as the boys discuss the proposed move to Milton Keynes in the 1980s, the protests that helped keep Luton Town in Luton, but later saw Wimbledon moved to Buckinghamshire and erased. With around 6,000 Hatters expected to make the trip, Kev believes “the needle” surrounding the fixture will help create a great atmosphere in the away end. But do you consider it a derby? Kev is joined by The Lutonian journalist James Cunliffe to look ahead to Saturday's lunchtime clash, including the call from some Luton supporters to boycott the game and the arguments surrounding that debate. The boys assess the threats posed by an MK Dons side still searching for a win, the weaknesses Luton can exploit and how the Hatters can build on their impressive 4-1 victory at Wycombe. Who could come into the side? Which players could make the difference? And what are the boys predicting for the score?

Has the 4-1 DEMOLITION of Wycombe CHANGED EVERYTHING? 🤩
LUTON WIN 4-1 AT WYCOMBE — AND THE HATTERS OF OLD ARE BACK! 🤩 The Town returned to League One action with a statement performance at Adams Park, sweeping Wycombe Wanderers aside in a 4-1 demolition. A very happy Kev joins The Lutonian journalist James Cunliffe to dissect a brilliant afternoon for the Hatters — and ask whether the Luton that finished last season on a 12-game unbeaten run has finally returned. The boys start with the surprising starting XI and the blistering start that put the visitors in control. They celebrate two special strikes, pick apart the key moments and discuss the best performers in a Luton shirt. There were plenty of positives, although Kev and Jimbo also look at the parts of the performance that weren't quite so convincing. Kasey Palmer, Jamie Donley and Nahki Wells all got on the scoresheet, while Devante Cole netted his first league goal for Luton — his third goal in three games in all competitions. And with Jack Wilshere approaching his first anniversary in charge on Tuesday, the lads reflect on his first year at the club and what this result could mean for the months ahead. Was this just a brilliant afternoon at Adams Park, or the start of something bigger?
