Was about to say that it's good to see Atletico are still perfecting their Burnley impression. Atletico 28% possession and Liverpool no shots on target after 44 mins.

Cryssis..I find your "it's democracy..get over it" argument ridiculous. If the people in your street voted, by a majority, to say that everyone living there should dye their hair green and wear nothing but swimwear outdoors in order to have a parking space would it be "fair enough" for this to be bi...

I was querying the comment in the previous post to mine that CF was "very talented" , that's all... so my question was asked in that context. Fair enough to those who think she was then and, as per the first words of my post, I was aware I was entering sensitive territory and I hopefully made it cle...

Not sure I should really head into potentially treacherous waters by asking this but why.how was she talented ? Or is being a presenter on terrible, lowbrow TV programmes like Love Island now enough to be classed as being talented ? The whole "celebrity culture" thing is sick really....vapid nonsens...

Dyche with a cryptic dig at Gibson regarding Vydra waiting patiently for his chance and when it came along taking it.

Yes, that crossed my mind as well. His (absolutely brilliant) goal is very timely for SD in reinforcing the "squad mentality" message.

Thought he was poor again apart from the ball to vydra - a proper wide player would have had a tap in and a third goal

I'm surprised that someone with so sunny and supportive an outlook as you takes this view.

As well as Apple Green I really rate Here I Stand, Which Way Should I Jump and Never Come Down Again off that album as great tracks.
Colne boys like myself too (though a bit younger !)

I was at Brentford when we won 3-2 - 2 from Mullin and one from Ian Wright from memory. I was in the seats down the side as a work contact was connected to Brentford, related to Ron Noades I believe. Ian Wright went through for a one on one with the keeper and I don't think I have ever been as conf...

Interesting and a good gesture indeed, especially as they generally travel in large numbers anyway. Having said that I can't agree that spending hours on a coach with a bunch of Spurs fans is very enticing whatever the cost-saving (especially if they beat us on the day) so I think I'll drive as usua...

I find myself agreeing with krbfc !!...In that I think 4 of our back 5 are absolutely superb and we just need a high quality right back to have an real top quality unit. Charlie Taylor was superb last night , as he so often is, and it was a touch baffling to see Erik the Viking preferred to him earl...

In order of merit:

1. Robbie Blake
2. Steven Defour
3. Jayrod

I agree...three FANTASTIC goals with not much between them but I don't think I've ever seen a ball smashed harder into the net than Robbie's pearler and the fact it was a volley of a dropping ball gives it the edge.

Stalbansclaret

Never a penalty and with the "new" handball rule this season isn't it the case that a defender's handball has to be deliberate whereas a goal will be chalked off if a hand/arm is involved from an attacking player even if it's accidental ?

Spy on Netflix is very good. I watched it mainly out of intrigue to see Sacah Baron Cohen as himself and really enjoyed it. Agree on this Fretters.

Great post hbclaret and I’m glad your experience was so good. It was the same for my brother and I last year when our dad was remembered at the service before the Fulham game. At the end the chaplain turned to the ground, raised his eyes skyward and said “and please Lord , 3 points today” . As yeste...

I’ve always thought Dean was OK but he was absolutely shocking last night with ANY contact with a United player seemingly resulting in a foul being given, even on the rare occasions when they didn’t go down at the faintest touch. I’ll add to the various failings already listed on this thread his tot...

You'd rather gouge out your own eyes than watch Burnley win in the Premier League ?....... truly bizarre. Have you ever played football in conditions like that btw ?

Jesus.... no we didn’t ..we knocked out two decent teams and then faced a tough tie against a Champions League standard team. We lost , with a weak referee shafting is in in Piraeus and then a return leg where we absolutely battered them but missed the crucial chances. That’s football and it’s just ...

BOYSIE please, please either lose your constant negativity and urge to find any reason to compare us unfavourably with anyone else or maybe just go and support someone else.

McNeill's incredible De Bruyne-like cross followed by Wood's thunderous header......footballing perfection sadly chalked off by, maybe, an arm offside. Still, I'll be re-running it on the iplayer a few times this week I'm sure.

Stalbansclaret

A bit of passage-of-time making the heart grow fonder I think. A few great moments... notably that equaliser at Leicester... but a great deal of mediocrity and frustration too. Certainly doesn’t merit comparison with Leighton James or Willie Morgan. Glad he’s found a home though.

Which premier league club doesn't have one? Not being arsey its just a genuine question It doesn’t matter if there is no big screen... the refs just need to go and look at the monitor screen which is at the side of the pitch. Ridiculous that they aren’t doing that as opposed to leaving it to seemin...

Bit strong to say someone is a halfwit because they like something you don't. And he IS Irish. Perhaps you could tell us what you think is funny?
