I remember Ian Wright saying that whenever he had a dry spell goals-wise he would stay behind after training and just repeatedly belt the ball into an empty net from all angles and distances. If that was good enough for Wrighty..a goal-scoring fanatic...I hope Ashley and Woody are doing the same.

Tbf we've had good chances recently but Wood and Barnes have failed to score them. Against Everton, Arsenal, Palace, Sheff u and Wolves plus MK Don's we had golden chances to score more goals but failed. Don't forget Wood's heading against the bar at WBA....I still cant get that chance out of my he...

The third episode of The Serpent..which was on BBC1 2 nights ago...was one of the tensest bits of TV drama I've seen in a long time. Excellent.
I've started watching Spiral (French police drama set in Paris) on BBC iPlayer and so far...6 episodes in out of 80+...it's really good stuff.

I always like Keith Allen and thought he was decent in this last night. However overall it just seemed to be another bog-standard formulaic police procedural of the type ITV churn out in their sleep. With the match on tonight I'm not sure I'll be interested enough to watch the rest on catch-up.

I 've always regarded myself as fairly financially literate but I struggle with understanding aspects of the deal as outlined , for example how a Club's own cash reserves can in some way be used as part of the purchase consideration for shares in the Club ? What bothers me is that we seem to be in e...

The Mark Radcliffe show on 6 this morning has been a fantastic listen for any Bowie fan...lots of reminiscing by many different people and, of course, great music. Strongly recommend listening on catch-up if you have missed it.

Id recommend him watching a copy of our home game against Southampton in the 17/18 season. He could learn a lot about Burnley FC from that game

The game where we equalised with the late penalty after Crouch came on ?

Care to elaborate ?

Having read the summary it's pretty much what I would have expected. I didn't have access to the interview live but have no objection to this being behind a paywall....you find out everything important soon enough now anyway so can't understand the moaning.

My parents jointly owned their house but several years before they died my mum arranged for this to be changed to a "tenants in common" arrangement. This meant that their two halves of the house became regarded as entirely separate assets, with each owning 50%, so that when my mum subsequently died ...

The Steely Dan song Deacon Blue contains the line "They call Alabama the Crimson Tide" ..a reference to the University of Alabama football team.

Which one is Alexander Armstrong ?

Ha ha...in my perhaps dubious view the bloke on the right is a slightly chubbier bad-look-a-like.

I didn't realise Alexander Armstrong was part of the consortium. Hopefully not a sign that the takeover is a Pointless exercise.

48 hours after playing at Leeds (Sheff U had an extra day to recover), against opposition who must have seen it as the ultimate "must win" game and with McNeill, JBG, JayRod, Cork and then Taylor all injured...the only thing that mattered was 3 points. I was/am very happy.

Stalbansclaret

Brownhill would be ieremovable on current form I think and his athleticism is a major asset. I like Cork though and hope we might go 4-5-1 in some games as I think this could enable us to play more football and also possibly free Dwight up from some of his defensive duties. Being able to mix things ...

Pope 7
Lowton 7
Tarks 8
Mee 9
Pieters 7
Brady 7
Benson 5
Westwood 7
Brownhill 8
Barnes 7
Wood 7...some of the posters on here should maybe be forced to have a go at playing his role in our team

Stalbansclaret

Anyone else still angry this morning ? I either need therapy or a win v Sheff U as it’s just eating away at me.

Stalbansclaret

The whistle hadn't blown though when the keeper came out and flattened Mee. Why on earth wasn't VAR identifying that as a "clear and obvious" mistake by the referee in not seeing it ?? I'm still fuming.

Stalbansclaret

Genuinely bizarre post, even for on here, slating Westwood. He would also have had to be a saint not to have given the ref some verbal today given his total incompetence and it’s impact on us.

Stalbansclaret

McNeill is a massive miss...spends a lot of time in possession and our main ball carrier. Such a shame he misses this game particularly. Unbelievable clash in styles today and I’m hoping we can somehow grind out a result.

Stalbansclaret

They (Chelsea) really have been indescribably terrible. Makes you think that their prima donnas simply didn’t fancy turning up at Christmas. I mean it has to be a mental/motivation thing.

Towards the back of the JHL is good in that you are undercover (as in dry..not like Donnie Brasco !) and relatively close to the pitch.

IMO the directors have been brilliant for a number of years now and especially during the Dyche era. They have run the club well and prudently and as exactly as you would expect custodian/supporters to do. I would never criticise any of them as they've never taken a penny out of the club to my know...

Much nicer than Jagermeister ...more warming and less sweet/sickly imo. A beautiful drink which I have made a few converts too "down South".

I agree it's one of those names...like Nigel....which make you instantly think the owner of it is likely to be a bit of a buffoon. There has to be a university dissertation on the self-fulfilling nature of giving children these names I think.

Stalbansclaret

We had a bad start but Dyche, like all good football managers, knows that turning a team around starts with getting the defensive side of the game right. Once that's done and you have a sound defensive platform you can then start to work more on creativity. No doubt Allardyce will be following the s...

Why?

We can win with just one on target.

I'm fairly sure a team has won a game with no shots on target thanks to own goals

Yes...it was us ! Two years ago we beat Fulhan 2-1 with the 2 o.g.s and no shots on target I think (maybe it was one)

Stalbansclaret

Probably a fishing attempt but I'll bite and say that the idea of SD agreeing to "share power" with another manager is as likely as Nigel Farage and Michel Barnier releasing an album of Christmas duets.

Stalbansclaret

I dont think we need a new striker as a priority at all...signings wise we cold do with someone a bit quicker than Brady and , yes, a bit more creativity in centre midfield would be welcome but the single thing which would make the biggest difference, given the reality of our resources, is improving...

My partner takes the p**s out of my stereotypically northern love of pies and bought me one of these a couple of weeks ago...hadn't had one for years but it was basically gravy covered with some fairly nice soggy puff pastry.
