Live Match Discussion 2022/23

Depends where you're from and what you're used to.

For a Malaysian, freezing.
For an Norwegian, boiling.

You gotta be from pretty far north to convince me 70F/21C is really all that uncomfortable tbh.

 

[PuntsWolf]

I went out in it earlier and it felt much hotter than 20°C

That’s this thing called the sun

It's ok until you're constantly under the glare of sun with no breeze. Then it feels very hot. For me any way.

English heat innit. My garden was pretty toasty earlier, cities can be quite oppressive too

Someone in the replies says medical staff were applying pressure to his ankle on the way out. Grain of salt with that, of course.

Hopefully just a weird step and then stayed down in an unintentionally dramatic fashion.

I think also defenders and keepers will often "stay down" to try and get a whistle. Not saying that happened here obviously, but you'll see it every week

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I know they've used orange as their home kit for a while now (2009 apparently) but to anyone who grew up in the 80s and 90s, Luton just look wrong. Put it back you bastards.

Yes I drove home last night at 10:30pm at supposedly 15°C and it felt freezing.

Cov's defence would get battered in the Prem.

I'm not a football snob in the slightest, but I forgot how low quality the Champ can be sometimes

McFadzean was the clogger who denied Paul Gladon his big Molineux moment. In 2016! He looked like a League Two player then, not sure he'd be up to the mark.

Luton sure like a bit of the old hoofy hoofy

Playing to their strengths and Coventry can't deal with it so far.

They remind me very much of us in 06/07 under Mick. Now I loved that team (except Seyi), especially given our situation about two weeks before the start of the season and having watched 18 months of Hoddle's dreck, but had we gone up in the playoffs we'd have been a disaster zone the season after.

The “temperature” is the air, not what solar radiation is doing. 21 degrees in the shade isn’t warm, and thats why you found 15 degrees in the shade “freezing”. Put a thermometer in the sun and it will be much hotter than 21

I meant it with the greatest respect

Definitely all relative; I think 70ish is probably what most Americans would call "ideal" so hard for me to grasp that specific temp even being notable, I s'pose.

The summer I was out in New Orleans doing work post-Katrina, think it hit like 108F just on air temp? And if you've never been to New Orelans, lemme tell you, that air is heavy, and thick, and there ain't no wind to speak of. Shit'll put you in a mental hospital, I guarantee it.

Think it's always extremely tough to be mentally up for a match like this, with so much riding on it. Hard to give a good account of yourselves.

Bear in mind, in the UK we complain about the weather conditions 90% of the time...

We had close to 100F for a week or so last August and it was awful. Especially as none of our buildings are designed for it.

Of course we played in those temperatures for two matchdays in a row and Bruno Lage made no subs until about 80 minutes.

Yeah, we're starting to get more of this up north, too. Them houses are old (by American standards) and when they were built they just didn't need to think about hot summers because summers just weren't that hot.

Now every year I'm hearing from my sister (up in Connecticut) how some old folks passed or were hospitalized because it's getting too damn hot there and those buildings don't have centralized air, and I think we probably all know how shite those window units are.

Anywho... Football, eh?

 

[AndyWolves]

Luton have really good shape defensively.
