Re: HAPPY MONDAY!. FOREST, points deduction?

Not sure this is clever. Best case, 1-2 points added back. Worse case, 3-4 more points taken away. As it stands they should finish above Luton. Take more points away, it starts to become less likely. We could be kingmakers in the final game even if we are down, we may have to decide who we want dow...

I remember going to Chesterfield in the forerunner to the Sherpa Van in 1986 I think with Stevie2112 amongst others. We won 2-1 in front of a crowd of just 1053. Could this be the smallest attendance ever for a Burnley game (pandemic gates excluded)

I don't say anywhere that he's a top class Premier League striker so I'm not spinning anything.

Just checked, it was 8 in 10. I thought he was playing alongside Cooke too as we didn't have Payton then, but Cookey says Creaney was keeping him out of the team. Did we go with one up top under Waddle for a bit?
Creaney partnered the free-scoring Paul Barnes.
