The way Westwood delivers them corners it must be horrific for a goalie. Westwood has got those corners down to fine art, must be nightmare to defend. ‘Bashley’ also has it down pat, how he dances around to distract the goalie. The opposition know it’s coming, more power to Dyche and his crew in ma...

Scandalous that it’s needed in a country like ours but fantastic to see so many people willing to help.

I have to agree with you guys about ‘Mrs Browns Boys’, truly pitiful! ‘Last of the Summer Wine’ isn’t too far behind. As for ‘Seinfeld’ and ‘Fraser’, both were brilliant, both are regularly available for viewing on a couple of our, what seems like zillion, cable channels. ‘MASH’ was also a classic, ...

The Buffalo Bills are my team. I’ve been to a few Bills games over the years, not for quite a number of years though.

Marijuana was legalised in Canada last year, October I think. I don’t partake, but I guess one reason for legalisation was to get a ‘piece of the pie’ in the form of taxation. Another reason could be trying to reduce the black market.

Didn’t Dyche refer to DD as ‘Drinky’? If so, he clearly had some sort of insight into the players ‘tendencies’. And, given our alleged club spirit ‘all for one, one for all’, what will his team mates think of DD?

As others have mentioned, I’m surprised McNeils’ in the squad, never mind starting. The other surprise is Gibson has been named captain for the night, one would think Bardsley or maybe Long would wear the armband.

I don’t know if Red Stripe has been mentioned as a favourite lager. I’ve spent quite a bit of time In Jamaica over the years and found Red Stripe goes rather well with sitting by a pool listening to reggae.

Up to now most expect Pope will start in goal, Heaton a distant second, no mention of Hart. In one article I read, Dyche has hinted he’s decided who will start in goal.

Rory’s poor performance shouldn’t come as a shock to anyone. Over the last 5 seasons or so he’s rarely performed well when expectations are high.
