The third and final team to win promotion to the English Premier League is Luton Town Football Club.

This amazing small club was playing in the 5th tier of English soccer only 10 years ago.

Luton Town will be playing against clubs like Manchester United whom are valued at $5 billion.

To put into perspective the sheer magnitude of what Luton have achieved, the picture below is an entrance to their stadium.

Wow. I’m guessing a documentary might be on it’s way. I’d definitely watch it.

This is one of the feel good stories about promotion and relegation. The little clubs don't just have a chance to play against the giants in the FA Cup but also have the chance to join them in the top flight. Of course staying up is the bigger challenge  :police:

And the flip side of it all are when teams like Aston Villa and Newcastle get relegated...then get bought out by billionaire Middle East owners and then make it back to the Premier League  :angel:

This is worth updating the thread for, I think:

Man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time.

But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.
