The post came Sunday as Everton finished 12th in the 2025-26 Premier League with 49 points, safe at their new Hill Dickinson Stadium, while Luton ended seventh in League One on 74 points, missing playoffs by one. Luton fans pointed to past wins at Goodison Park, like the 2-1 Premier League victory in September 2023 and FA Cup upset in January 2024, but Evertonians mocked Luton's drop from the Premier League's 26 points two seasons ago to struggling in the third tier. Everton boasts a record 72nd straight top-flight season since 1954, nine league titles overall, and no major trophies since the 1995 FA Cup, fueling the petty, passionate back-and-forth that one Blue summed up as 'boiling your piss makes being pointless all the more worthwhile.'
