Good answer, clear not much between the ears. On the contrary. If you have nothing better than troll, please chose someone else. You clearly have an agenda and quite frankly I have neither the time nor interest in discussing your extremist right wing nonsense or flag waving. Please refrain from con...

Remember the game but for some reason I’d completely forgotten him. Had an outstanding game. But apart from that game I can’t remember Much else about Cowan

you really should be able to post facts rather than state Fake News, which anyone can listen to, your apparent hatred and jumping on the Trump bandwagon is typical, but nothing like joining your mates in trying to kick some one when they can't see or reply is there?

Agree. Think finishing the season will throw up some strange results (for players used to 50k cheering them on) But I certainly cannot see spectator sports being back on the agenda by the end of May which seems likely to be the outcome today... allowing players to come out of training. At least they...

What the f*ck has this to do with Brexit. It's not relevant who is PM or who said what! Nobody could prepare for this. Why the hell are you bringing politics into it?

Why is Reading pronounced Reading....and Reading pronounced Reading?? Same as explaining above. Germanic rather than french pronunciation.

Why is planet Earth always depicted with the "northern" hemisphere upwards.
Why is the magnetic North Pole in the Southern Hemisphere.

In medieval depictions the centre of the map was always Jerusalem. The modern depiction, is for maths to work. Equator timelines et al.

That's just so wrong.
Barnes has done nothing wrong, except possibly playing whilst injured.
Didn't he score as many goals as Wood last season?

Agree. There is fickle and then, just plain stupid

elwaclaret

Absolute disgrace. Never has it been clearer that English Football is every bit as bent as the Latin leagues. The death march of football as a true sport continues.

elwaclaret

Think the game plan was that Wood do his shift, giving them our normal game, then switch to pace later. But the goal, then a knock forced our hand.

Still thought Wood and Vid looked like they could be a very tidy partnership should SD decide to turn that way.

I think yet again VAR has proved it solves nothing. It is administered for media benefit, and therefore for media friendly clubs benefit by having another layer of protection from defeat. Funny how all the dodgy decisions still usually benefit the bigger club.

I can't believe that Dier has not faced some kind of disciplinary action from the Fa or an investigation from the Met police. If you or I had have invaded the pitch and grabbed hold of a player, we would have spent the night in the slammer with a possible custodial sentance to follow. I read the me...

Although yours has absolutely no logic, just bitterness. In your opinion. Do you have any basis for my bitterness? On the contrary. My life has rarely been smoother (except my dad’s health).

Too young eh? I'll almost gurantee I'm older than you. I've been supporting Burnleyfor 68 years and used to love watching Liverpool win the European Cup when it was a purely knockout trophy.

What's wrong with Liverpool doing well? At least it's not bragging Man U running away with the PL.

You are obviously too young to remember how they were Shankley-Paisley—Fagan-Evens-Dalgleash twenty year +

They made Arsenal fans look humble

The only other game I recall matching it as a 'Surprise it even Started' affair, was that wet night on the Turf against Chesterfield when we won the title.

Only home game I missed that season... I was on the ferry back from the Iom when I finally found out we’d won
