Sent off in the last match and got a one match ban which he served tonight

Which many will say is a blessing that he CAN play.

Tottenham play in the greatest city like Burnley play in the most beautiful countryside. When people do talk about London being the greatest city in the world (though I'm by no means sure that everyone thinks so) they aren't referring to the White Hart Lane area. I've been to London many times and ...

You can take them in at most grounds. Strangely at Burnley you can only take in clear liquids so vodka is ok while Coca Cola isn’t. Exactly what I was thinking. Strange one. Easy solution to those who ‘need’ a drink while watching. That said I’ve taken a hip flask in before now. Although I wouldn’t...

Probably the 9 million and rising number that live there and the 20+ million that visit every year.

Taking bottles of water in is acceptable at Burnley. Check the notices posted outside the ground.

Surprised at that. Given you could either fill up with whatever spirit you wanted. Or simply keep the lid on and throw it.

It is an impressive stadium. And the seats face the pitch just like they do at Turf Moor. As for "the greatest city on earth", I went there earlier in the year for the American football, and walked from Seven Sisters tube station to the ground. And if you honestly think that that place is anything ...

I take my own in and a bottle of water. You’re not able to at Spurs. You aren’t meant to here. But it’s a little more lax when checking. Both on entry to stadium and again to seat. Hence bottles being thrown a regular thing in the away end. Newcastle and Hannover two obvious examples. At a modern s...

Although I have noticed the problem with leaving gaps is most see it as an opportunity to cut in and cut you up.

It's certainly far reaching - when this happens, it's like dropping a pebble in water with the ripple effects which can be far reaching as you say.

Haven’t been to Auschwitz but have been to kgb prisons. And they are no doubt equally horrific. How anyone can do that to another human is beyond me.

I'm no expert but can't social media posts and especially videos jeopardise the trial? I had thought the same. I know they can do. Without seeing this I suspect possibly not in this case. But it is common that they don’t want any evidence in the public domain. At the very least it helps form any so...

What is it about Wells’s game that means he hasn’t had a look in ? I saw a brief cameo where he looked reasonable but others may have seen more.

It didn’t help that we signed him injured.

When we sign fit players it takes an age to bed them in.

Still a hell of a lot cheaper though to watch Burnley over a season - have you seen how much Spurs charge admission for home games?

Yes. And I’ve seen the standard of players they pay to watch at the incredible stadium they play at in the greatest city on earth.

It’s a good job somebody did film it. The culprit can have no defence, this was pure murder.

Had they intervened in some way perhaps it would just be assault.

What I noticed in the report is that we made 5 changes and all the incoming players were internationals Ex internationals more like with the exception of Long who, at best, is a part time international. It is so sad that we will probably never see Brady back at his best and, while I am not one of t...

So what do you think they filmed it for?

Not sure about anyone else and I haven't seen the footage but lets suppose that someone has already called the police and also lets suppose that the person filming the incident knows this - I'd say that videoing the incident with their phone is the right thing to do to provide the evidence to the p...

I think describing them as sick individuals is somewhat harsh. It was a fight (which I think we have all been in at some point - I know I have) and someone has fallen and hit there head badly, could happen to anyone. If that is the case the culprits are probably more upset than you because they sta...

With Barnes out and Vydra out of favour, unless we are bringing another striker in (highly unlikely) then I wouldnt be selling Wells. Then again he is very much in the Vydra bracket when here.

Big gate in the FA Cup 4th round? What we saying? 12,000 if we play the kids? Don't tell me, you and MACCA know many/plenty who would have gone on yesterday had Dyche been honest about the cup and played the kids.

I imagine a good owner would be a certain very succesful and well connected local businessman. And has been at more and more Burnley games of note. In the posh seats in the bob lord.

The 'chinese' we have here is a 70s hangover of the ideas of someone who went to China and then told a mate what the food was like. It's mostly asian inspired junk food.

No doubt it is. It’s the same with all foreign foods. Even Italian.

Also in a lot of places they ferment their crops with human waste.

So I’d probably not even eat veg. I’d probably take a few tins of branston beans.

Doubt there’s a cover up. Or much to worry about here. But one things for sure. If / when I go to China I would only eat veg dishes. And I’m not fussy about what I eat.
