The commentator on Saturday said he's our leading goal scorer now but hasn't goat an assist.

The role of a winger has certainly changed.

I'd argue we play "wide forwards" more than wingers, but we can be here all day if we go down that route

So, the climate changed?

UK has some of the fewest bank holidays in the developed world and the lowest in Europe. A national holiday (non-related to Saints or Royalty) is a must. Never understood why there's always two in May, (sometimes you get 4 in 5 weeks if Easter is late) and then nothing else til the end of August! I...

I remember rocking up for my German GCSE on a Friday morning after I'd been in Mean Cats on 10p a pint Thursdays.

Don’t worry, there was no danger of that.

Wasn't sure there was much there to occupy? Maybe Continentals and a car park?

I always liked the idea of turning that round cafe in the market square into a mexican place with a big sombrero trim on the roof

Anyone mentioned the night club at the bottom of the bus station in Burnley, now a dentist but can't remember the name?

At a fuction last night where someone said there was a 'club' in Nelson above the Zoo/Lord Nelson pub?

Chaplins in the basement?

Should have a separate pool of VAR officials, freeing up "active"| refs to work on the pitch. You could recruit the best recent retired refs from around the world to sit in Stockley Park, with no bias as far as showing their old mate/colleague up. Im baffled why they insist on it being one pool of r...

Not the normal schedule here, either. How many have we had this season - 6 including League Cup?

If Czech teams reached the later stages of Europe, I dare say they'd be playing "English weeks" a lot more.

It is a lot more the normal schedule in the EFL, however, with 46 games to fit in.......

It isn't the normal schedule, no. Sometimes you will get cup games midweek, often at KO times like 3pm or 4pm which can be a pain, but normally its just 5pm Wednesday 1 or 2 times a season.

What they call a week here where you play 3 games weekend, midweek then weekend consecutively

Am I in the minority that it doesn't affect my efforts to get on the Turf whether it's on TV or not?

I live in Newcastle, but when I'm picking matches to attend, I NEVER look to see if it's on TV before I book tickets.

So you assume it's still a 3pm Ko and trust your luck? Aye alright

It just surprised me that the term still exists.

Is Tommy Fleetwood his real name or is it like Johny Vegas or Captain America

I do love that there's a Lancashire golfer called Tommy Fleetwood. Something of the Eastbound and Down about it. There'd be gold in a fictionalised cartoon i reckon.

Quite. There are a few fixations held by some people on here and while sometimes understandable to an extent, it does veer into self-parody at times.
