It's true, Dyche is off to Spurs, 7th December I've heard..

Couple of slightly confusing moments (which I won't elaborate on for anyone that hasn't seen it yet) but overall a promising start, will be watching the 2nd episode.

We had Kevin Friend as the referee on field and Lee Mason on VAR and still managed to win by 3 goals, that alone shows how good our performance was..

Just a heads up, Queen Victoria Road is extra busy as you drive towards town as the road that forks right (just past Premier Inn) that leads on to Omerod Road is closed so all traffic heading towards Belvedere Road/Town centre has to queue at the traffic lights near the fire station.

Well done young lady!

Thumbs up duly left

Think Jimmy Glass who scored the famous last minute winner that kept Carlisle in the league a few years ago was a former loanee at Burnley if that counts.

Although we ultimately lost the tie, the comeback from 4-1 down against Spurs in the League Cup semi was pretty special and the atmosphere that night was unbelievable.

4-3 at home v Preston

Stan Ternent Some of his post match quips and interviews were legendary. "Blind man on a galloping horse" "Magic Lantern" "Throw one in" "Gnohere had his head up his arse" Robbie Blake's diving boots And many more classics I'm sure I've forgotten over the year...

A very good documentary I thought that was on Channel 5 earlier this evening, for those who like this sort of thing. It's available on Catchup or repeated next Saturday. Thanks for the heads up, I'm one of those who like this kind of thing so watched it on catch up, good programme. :) Seen a few Ti...

Been away on holiday for a week so only just seen the Wood disallowed goal v Leicester on MOTD, if that's a foul worthy of disallowing a goal for then how come Vardy's on Mee for their opener isn't? It may get better but the way it is being used at the moment, VAR is worse than relying on the onfiel...

With Moss in the middle I fear 2-1 to the referee

Ronnie Jepson and Keith Treacy spring to mind

Toss up between 'Enola Gay' and 'Souvenir' as their best for me.

We have 2 seats (adult) in the JMU this season and I enquired at the ticket office last month about a ST for my 7 year old grandson as there's an empty seat next to us.

They said these are only available during the early bird period for the following seasons ST

Sickener for the staff.. and anyone due to be on their hols this week. I can't remember the last time I used a travel agent though, must be well over 10 years ago. Finding your own flights, destinations and accommodation is quite good fun, we've done it like that for years. We've done the same for ...

Myself and 2 mates once met our former assistant manager Sam Ellis in a pub off Deansgate many years ago after we'd played a 1-1 draw with Man City at Maine Road. He was talking with a small group of friends so we didn't bother him but when he spotted our Burnley colours he made the effort to come o...

If we can get away with a 4-4-3 formation everygame I think we should definitely do it until somebody notices we have 12 players on the pitch.

Just remembered another successful loanee, Gerry Creaney, didn't he get 8 goals in 9 games or something like that?

Vintage Claret

Mate got our 2 tickets online on Saturday, looking forward to it as never been to Villa Park.

8.05 train from Burnley to Preston and (Virgin Trains permitting) in Birmingham for 11 am to take in the cultural, historical and architectural highlights of the city (or maybe just a few pubs)

A bit strange selecting the Party stand for your seats if you don't want to be where the party is? Didn't have a choice, someone else booked the seats .

4 of us going Thursday, party stand. Hopefully with it not being the weekend it will be a bit less boisterous in there than it was last time I went (v India) as it was mainly full of gangs of lads, all p1ssed off their heads by lunchtime with no apparent interest in the cricket they'd paid £40-£50 q...

Not sure what it's called but there's a place at the bottom of Standish St that does clothing repairs/alterations.

Used it a couple of times myself and been happy with the results

The scoreline was harsh at half time but we were poor 2nd half and made it far to easy for the opposition. Never thought we would win today and it's no disgrace to lose to the current European Champions and one of the 2 best teams in our Division. Still, it's disappointing how often we gave the ball...

So many to choose from, can't beat a pint of real ale when it's kept and poured properly in a pub that knows how to look after their beer.

Newton Abbott is on my list for the races. Much to do? We were only there for a few hours LC so can't really say.

Predominately a real ale drinker but do have the occasional foray into lagerland on a hot day.

Kronenberg, Stella or Coors light

Aldi's Reinbacher German pilsner is ok for the odd can at home in the garden when it's BBQ time as well.

Good luck at Rhodes airport which is undergoing refurbishment at the moment and is a living nightmare for delays or was last Sunday when we returned from there. Yeah was reading some posts about delays at Rhodes airport on the Tripadvisor forum, seems it can be ok or a nightmare depending what day/...

Anyone used a private transfer service from Burnley they could recommend and roughly what the price might be for return transfers?
