When we were promoted under Dyche..on both occasions...much was made of how everyone at the club from top to bottom was pointing in the same direction and how powerful this was. Now we seem to have the opposite and I am really fearful that it will have the opposite outcome. Bad times and you are rig...

Im 3 weeks in and have yet to predict a correct score and only 4 outcomes correct out of 18. And I think I know football !!!! Some mightily difficult to predict games but still..I am useless !

It's almost a year since the sad and premature passing of Micky Collins aka Hampstead Claret on this board and I still miss seeing him around town in St Albans and having a chat with him in The Garibaldi pub about all things Claret. As well as BFC we also had a passion for Bruce Springsteen's music ...

Are you a DJ with Absolute Radio tiger76 ? I'm pretty certain you'd hear all that lot if you listened to them for a couple of days. Couple of tracks..one old, one new that I've heard this week and really enjoyed Old..Cracker : Turn on , Tune In Drop Out With me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5woFxn...

And there we have reality setting in, now we know fans are likely to be out all season. We must keep Tarks now and we will finish above West Ham for starters. We can sell him for much more when a vaccine is available next year, fingers crossed. Leaving aside our own need to retain Tarks I would nev...

It's not really particularly surprising that SD ...a manager starved of funds in the transfer market...should be less than keen to see his club's funds given to others. I would resist assisting clubs in the Championship since so many of them either have wealthy owners and/or have indulged in dubious...

I have two that trigger me : - The Par-par-par-par-pa-pa noise at the start of that bloody awful Shania Twain song "Man, I Feel like a Woman" .....beloved of hen nights and dancers-around-handbags it makes me want to tear my ears off. - The feeble ting ting of xylophone at the start of "Seven Years ...

The pen is how it should be. Defenders have to learn to tuck their arm down behind their back in the area. Once they are all doing it nobody will think twice about the law. The line doesn’t move why are people wetting themselves. He wasn’t on it, re-take all day long. Do you really think this ? I t...

I must admit Im not sure what kind of financial backing they have but if they can afford it then I could see Bielsa looking at Pope and it being a great signing for Leeds

Mbappe and Lewandoski would be good signings for Leeds too.

The worst possible start imaginable with JBG looking seriously crocked. My anxiety level re this season has now gone stratospheric.

The main requirement for being Radio 2's breakfast show DJ appears to be the ability to fake colossal "excitement" and enthusiasm for every single "celebrity" on earth and for every single activity being undertaken by any listener or by the BBC as a whole. Zoe Ball is unlistenable, as was Evans befo...

Stalbansclaret: hello, hope you're well and not climbing the walls every day. I have a link to a radio show that might be of interest to you. Are you still online?

What a miserable bunch of whiney old timers you all come across as. Eeeh radio, not like it were in my day, Radio Luxembourg and Atlantic 252 with their vast array of songs and stuff put this lot to shame. The world moves on, there's still a place for radio, and it's fundamentally no different now ...

I don’t know how people listen to commercial radio, it’s dross. Limited playlists, overhyped presenters, and repetitive adverts. I remember a few years so tuning into RadioX - I was impressed with the playlist. They played Fat Lip by Sum 41 and I said to my mate “I’ve not heard this this in ages, i...

You’d think players and mates going on a jolly might be a bit more discreet where they go as it’s almost inevitable that in a country as Uber corrupt as Greece that something Is gonna go off with some plastic bellend and the police will be on hand to arrest the “ superstar “ .

Good to see Wild..the film about a solo woman doing a long distance walk in the Western USA getting a mention above as I really enjoyed this.

Also a mention for Chris Iwelumo at the Ricoh v Coventry. Genuinely we might as well have just planted a tree midway in their half.

Another for Dave (striker) Jones. Working in London Clarets at Orient so I went. Didn't even know he had signed, 90 minutes later wished he hadn't. Yes !!! When I read the mentions of David Jones on this thread that game at Orient, which I also attended, immediately came to mind. He was absolutely ...

Take a day trip across to the small island of Symi. Beautiful place. The best advice on this thread...in fact I'd go and stay on Symi. It is indeed beautiful.

The week before, or after? Didn’t we draw with Orient 3-3 after being 3-1 down. Terry Cochrane coming on and scoring 2?

Funny....I also memory of the 4-4 with Norwich being the game before or after a 3-3 home draw.

The Ralph Coates 5-1 was one of the first games I attended and made him an immediate hero for life. When I saw this thread I immediately thought of Glen Little v Sours in the League Cup as Rowls has highlighted above.

Some serious irritants nominated already on this thread. Two linguistic trends make me grind my teeth to dust :- 1 “Would of” and “Could of” instead of “would/could HAVE” 2. “ Can I get a coffee ?” Err , no because it’s round this side of the counter but you could HAVE one if I make it for you.

Sometimes unfairly criticised I feel but yes : - horrendously biased to top 6 teams in terms of extent of coverage (obviously listenership related) - some presenters awful..Andy Goldstein, Jason Cundy , Jim White at the top of this list for me.

That night we beat Arsenal in the "Capital Punishment" League Cup run I thought I was watching a player who would go to the very top. Beautiful second goal.

It's between Trevor Steven and Steven Defour and the latter probably gets it because Steven only played for us when still a youngster. However I remember watching him and thinking he had that rare ability to "glide" that only true class players possess. The good thing is that I also see Dwight McNei...

I always remember "Yifter the Shifter" being a decent 5000m runner back in the days of Steve Cram etc

I think Wood is a good shout. Seems to be supremely confident and I always think he has a goal in him. I also think Charlie Taylor, despite missing a couple of chunks of the season, has developed into a top-class Premier League player and I always feel more confident when he is playing.

The bucket collection was for David Reeves, who was here in two loan spells between November 1987 and March 1988. That would be under Teasdale. Jackson did the opposite, if I remember rightly. In 1984-5 towards the end of the season, we were in danger of relegation so the club halved the admission ...

Absolutely NO, NAY , NEVER. Take a look at the Watford message boards this season if you think we should sign him.

I thought he was impeding the keeper. He might not even have been fouling him but he doesn’t need to foul him to be interfering with the goalie’s ability to get to the ball. There is no way Ryan was stopping that header. Bit of a sickener, esp as I thought we should have had a penalty. That's a pen...
