Totally agree about Wood, but for me, he’s only out of form where the goals scored column is concerned. His general play is excellent and I think he is massively underrated. Our style of play all depends on Chris Wood. His general play isnt excellent and that's why when he's not scoring he'll be cr...

As I said, the problems in the Tory party had been managed for years. It was only after UKIP’s success that a referendum was promised. Nope, you are going round the bend if you think UKIP presented more of a problem to the Conservative party than the Conservative party itself. But that aside a refe...

What, you mean the factions that had been there pretty much since we joined the EU? They were a small but noisy minority in the Tory party that were being managed, it’s UKIP that lit the blue touch paper. Euro sceptic Tory MPs are still Tory MPs getting Tory votes and contributing to a Tory majorit...

That's complete nonsense. It were major factions of the Conservative party that was the main driving force.

My suggestion is that UKIP lit the fires of widespread Euro scepticism and that they used the issues created by austerity as kindling. UKIP had existed since 1993, but it’s only in 2013, three years after the start of austerity, that they broke through as a political force. That forced Cameron to s...

Ok, well at least you’ve expanded on your previous claim. But immigration in general is a wider issue than the EU. If Burnley is depending on leaving the EU to sort out a perceived problem with immigration in general it’s in for a shock. Of course it's a wider issue. But too many people clearly hav...

No, it was both.

I don’t think anyone cared less about the EU until Farage told them that all their ills (caused in reality by austerity) were down to the EU. UKIP had been going for years barely registering a vote, that’s how bothered people were about the EU until austerity hit. This is utter bullshite. Plenty of...

Why do you blame her that brexit hasn't happened yet, when the blame lies squarely with the government? I clearly didn't say she was to blame. That would be ridiculous. Just like your suggestion is.

Nope, but I’m not the one claiming she hasn’t represented her constituents on Brexit. She’s followed the Labour whip in rejecting no deal, how do you know that’s not what the people of Burnley want? If she represented her constituents her decision making would have and will going forward reflect th...

Cooper clearly hasn't represented her constituents on Brexit. Also on local matters I can't think of a single positive thing she's done for the town.

From the website: "First, the largest category of migrants to the UK come from outside the EU, and are not entitled to rely on EU laws on freedom of movement.[3] The UK’s ability to restrict entry to this group is unaffected by its membership of the EU. Secondly, whereas many Member States hav...

Not for me. Wasn't at all bothered when I saw the line up, intact it made me stick to watching it all right through the build up.

Just as likely to pick up an injury in training/ under 23 game etc. Wasn't even a friendly really and he only played 45 mins. Plus he didn't get injured.

Why not? Many players play Wednesday and Saturday in competitive matches, i don't see any issue in Hart playing 45 mins on a Wednesday in a friendly and sitting on our bench on Saturday. I watched the game, an and he hardly was tested. If anything it might have done him some good. Because if he had...

Met him recently. Totally decent chap and not full of himself at all.

Pretty surprised Hart was allowed to play - I don't believe he should have been.

Of course getting bladdered and causing a nuisance of himself is wrong when he should be entirely focussed and being ready for selection. But Dyche will have opportunity to show his leadership skills one way or the other.

taio

The temptation, if this story is true, is to send him back; and if we did so, I would fully understand. However, in such strange ways are loyalties won. It’s time for Sean Dyche to put his Man Management Skills into place. Back him fully. Get his head sorted and help his career back on track. Make ...

Remain or leave to one side, our MP is not and has never delivered what her constituents want or what she promises.

Hellooo! Maybe you could help? Labour want to pass a bill that rules out no deal before they agree to a general election.

It's good of you to give Drinkwater a chance.

We will never know, but there's a good chance he will play the first game for his new side after the international break. And judging by Dyche's lack of trust in getting Drinkwater on for 10 minutes when 3-0 down, I would be incline to think Dyche opted for his cautious side. If he does that's beca...

Some absolute bellendery from a small handful of people.
