I predict that Wood will be offside at least twice to keep him at the top of the offside table

4 of us (2 couples) heading up to Edinburgh for New Years Eve. We are looking for somewhere that will do food followed by music, ideally something quite upbeat. Has anybody got any recommendations?

MRG

We would need a yes man who was happy to work with our penny pinching board every transfer window

MRG

Nobody. No other club at present is in the Premier League without a sugar daddy or a much bigger support. So to counter the op argument that it’s been a poor transfer window you are saying that we should actually compare against clubs in a similar situation to us yet whichever club he compared to w...

MRG

Name another club who does better than Burnley in making signings. Not those with twice the income and rich sugar daddy owners; just those of similar size. If your complaint was on the lines of "we are just about the best in the country for a club our size, but it could be even better ..."...

For the record, the scouse expression that you refer to is, ‘he’s got more faces than Big Ben’

MRG

Lost on points, well beaten but certainly didn’t disgrace himself

MRG

Even if he can get to points it will be a lot more than anybody expected. 3 long rounds ahead

MRG

He’s looking ok so far

Similar to the 54 last season?

Hi Tony, you took longer than expected. Please can you link all the other threads that I’ve started on this topic?

Unless you are passing your (incorrect) opinion as fact.... again

MRG

Played 4
Goals 0
Assists 0
Shots 5
Shots on target 2
Offside 7

MRG

Today’s game should see Wood place himself back in his rightful position at the top of the offside table for the league.

Repeatedly offside once again.

Absolutely agree, it’s a great idea, I’m just a funny sod

MRG

This makes sense but I’d feel very uncomfortable sharing a car with somebody I didn’t know.

It probably says more about me

MRG

He looked terrible

MRG

Looking to book a holiday to Italy next year. We are starting with Florence and then considering going across to Conque Terre? Although it looks beautiful we have very little knowledge of the region.

Has anybody ever been?

I'm not his biggest fan...but £15million doesn't get you a lot of striker these days....he looks a lot fitter and quicker this season..it might be a good season for him hopefully :D He’s had a fantastic preseason but has started the season still averaging 1.5 offsides per game. Stats don’t really m...

MRG

And why we are looking at the ‘lots’ of goals he scores by being on the last man, 6 of his 10 were headers therefore pushing onto the last man only actually lead to 4 out of the ‘lots’ at very best.

You have to question the tactic, is it worth the 4 goal for over 50 offsides?

MRG

Tall Paul wrote:Maybe he scores a lot of goals because he consistently runs the risk of being caught offside.

Lots? 10 last season yet brought 53 other attack’s to a halt by being offside? 20 more than any of the other 100’s of premier league players

MRG

When will people grasp the fact that Dyche wants Wood playing on the line as he feels he is most effective in this position? Sure he will get caught offside more than other players due to this role and coming up against clever defenders such as Van Dijk, Laporte etc. If he is consistently offside b...

You would need to see them all but it’s so worth a binge watch

MRG

It’s crazy to think that this started as a BBC2 drama when you consider its popularity

MRG

I know your obsession with this, but I'm more than happy at the way he plays, more than happy at his goal return and more than happy with his performances. Shame some can't see past a flag. Any suggestion that he IS consistently offside is the blinkered one. It’s not really an obsession just a frus...

MRG

I know we berate officials but it is incredible that he's ever scored a goal if he needs teaching to stay onside and he's consistently offside. Yet he's scored 107 career league goals including 20 for us in just 51 starts and 13 sub appearances. I really don't get this offside obsession some have a...

MRG

Imagine Wood with a poachers instinct? That’s exactly what he has! Oh and I know this won’t be a popular opinion but Chris Wood is a far better player than Andy Payton was, albeit Payts was very good at the level he played for us at. He can be the best in the world, it’s pointless if he’s consisten...

MRG

I love Cheltenham and Cartmel for very different reasons. Cartmel is fantastic for a day out with young family

MRG

I thought that I was leaning towards a Breitling but research suggest an Omega may be a better investment

MRG

Take away some of the sloppy passing and United are looking well. Wan Bissako looks a player.

MRG

I felt that it was a good decision by the ref

MRG

Investment may have been the wrong word. I’m hoping to put some money into a watch where I can hopefully pull similar money back out on a rainy day if I ever need to

MRG

Wolves 0-1 United Martial with a good finish

MRG

I am considering buying a decent watch as a method of savings/investment as well as the fact that I fancy owning a nice watch.

I would be looking at spending between £3k and £5k.

I’m hoping that somebody on here may have some knowledge around watches and able to share advice/recommendations

I’m not sure. It’s possible that it has been announced and I’ve missed it. Such a waste of a career that he’s not been able to shake it off presuming that it’s always the same injury

Is it public knowledge about what Defours injury is? Do we even know the body part affected?

Re Aaron Mooy. There’s no point getting someone who is not better than what we already have. I’m not convinced about him. Mainstay of a team that looked decent on the eye but created the square root of nothing all season. Drinkwater is different gravy as he is better than what we have. There’s a re...

Summed up for me in the West Ham game. A West Ham through ball, Heaton came out of his box and headed it to the left back. We retained possession and scored and ever looked back. It's my view, in the same situation, Hart would have stayed on or retreated to his goal line. West Ham would have had a ...
