    Two very poor Championship sides. Either one gets promoted they will come straight back down.

    Nah I just had a hunch they'd get promoted and at 16/1, £3.00 seemed like a decent punt.

    The way their fans go on you'd think they were prime Barcelona.

    Diallo is the only one of their side that can play in the PL.

    Gooch, Pritchard, Clarke, O'Nien are dreadful.

    They crave relevance and now more than ever so this is the pinnacle for them.

    Luton deserved it. Second half complete dominance as well. What a bag of **** Sunderland were. All the more sweeter as most of their fans thought they were at Wembley already. The Hatters move on.

    Sunderland are ****e.

    Their fans thought they were certs for Wembley.

    Diallo aside, not a single one of their players are PL quality. Luton the superior side and itshowed.

    This new Luton manager has a ridiculously good record so far and is working wonders there...I guess it helps when they're playing utter dogshit like they were last night though.

    Wot? Were they actually expecting to win the playoffs then? They sneaked in there in the last game and were over 20 points off automatic promotion!

    Obviously I would have loved to see them have another of their hilariously terrible seasons in the Prem, but they were never playoff favourites.

    Surprised me too. It is probably just media noise but Sunderland looked woeful last night. Luton were much better and they looked like they wanted it more.

    Luton only won with 3 goals from corners. Not as if they outplayed Sunderland. . I actually read that on a thread
