can't find it here in Northmberland either. V frustrating, came back from pub early to watch!

trying to find it on Clarets player +
Willing to pay the £10
Was available v Rotherham but seems not for today?

Anyone else?

That's a good route. Scenic between Lancaster and Penrith, and the journey between Carlisle and Newcastle is full of interest, going through Hadrian's Wall country and then along the banks of the Tyne. If you have time, break the journey along the Carlisle-Newcastle by stopping for a pint in Corbri...

Blimey. So Merseyside is attractive to foreign players because of the Beatles, the nightclubs in London are better, and other cities have more varied shopping options.

F&ck me.

uwe

Can anyone explain what the situation is now? haven't followed it closely enough, but clearly there are a number of potential outcomes.

Thanks!

We are better than this. Today was the anniversary of that magnificent tie v Aberdeen, when I spent a couple of very happy hours on the cricket field with the Jocks. I've just binge-watched both series of 'Sunderland Til I Die' I've got close friends who - bless 'em - are diehard Birmingham City I'm...

Looks like there was a Covid lockdown going down with the state of those barnets

As the cup run gathered pace, three of them had skinhead cuts.
Way ahead of Dyche, but just as scary.

Not me but I'm in it. Joint cup-winners that side. We were poor in the final, but drew 2-2, so shared the cup... although we grabbed it first and took it back in my Dad's car, waving it out of the window at the oppo as we sped off. We had peaked in the semi-final, 4-1. I got two and so did the futur...

From the dark days Andy Wharton, full back born in Bacup BFC tattood on his knuckles, not the best ever full back but he went in as though every opponent was a mouthy Bstards fan. I played in the Waterfoot junior school team with Andy for 3 years. He was like that then, and he wasn’t the only hard ...

Not a rumour from a paper but I have heard from three separate Newcastle fans today that Matty Longstaff is on his way to Burnley. Free agent that was on just under 1k a week. don’t know if there’s any truth to this but I would be relatively happy. Cheap signing with potential. Would be astonishing...

uwe

Didn't used to rate hm, but he has had a magnificent tournament. Would certainly be a loss. I'd consider Delph - who has played very well in the minutes he's had - in his place ahead of Dier.

uwe

He's a classy player, but surely takes some responsibility for Croatia's dire 2nd half, when Denmark, staffed from Ipswich, Boro, Cardiff etc, controlled the game.
Until then, was a starter (alongside Rakitic) in my Team of the Tournament XI.

uwe

I’ve seen a lot of him.
Yes, he is excellent.

uwe

Obviously, as many Clarets as possible. None of Tarks, Mee, Cork, Pope or Heaton would let England down. And why not Ash on the bench :-) Apart from that, I don't want too many "he can cover 2 or 3 different positions" type-players. Walker, Dier, Young, that'll do. I want different from England this...

Gerry Peyton was a fantastic keeper, spectacular shot-stopper.
I really rated him.

I met Oliver Kay a few weeks ago at a football event. Good bloke: quiet and thoughtful with - as this piece shows - a genuine, fans-perspective appreciation of the truth of the game. He is refreshing contrast to some of the more knee-jerk, fan-boy, rent-a-gobs around the game. My summary of this pie...

Bob Lord's ghost will be delighted.

How dare they suggest that Tony Scholes lacks class!

(Clears throat)

“He’s one of our own: Tony Scholes, he’s one of our own!”

Feeling rather emotional at this.
These two superb footballers, professionals, and men (along with, but not behind, a few others) epitomise our magnificent club.

Thanks lads, best of luck.

Ticket for JHU still available.

If no takers I’ll return it to the ticket office..., but if anyone wants it just reply here and I’ll meet you at t’Turf.

uwe

One ticket for today available.
JHU block 1.
Face value, obviously.
Anyone?

so who is it then?

Bloody hell he's good......but not THAT good!

We had a striker a few years back who only started league football when he was a couple of months short of 22.
He did alright ... wright ... wright!

Well mate, that weekend there's at least 3 relegation 6-pointers, plus the Mancs derby, Scouser derby plus Chelski v Wet Spam.

If they choose Watford v t'Clarets I'll walk there with you.

Watched 'Boy A' t'other night. Quite controversial, brilliantly made. Gripped and shook me.

Yes there was contact.....

Outstanding interview.

Highly recommended

You obviously missed the DiBranchio years.

Moan-rinho to PSG. Maybe.

Dyche to Old Trafford?

Apparently we could all go and watch, we'd fit in the stadium.

uwe

You are correct about Shelvey. Best English passer, by some distance. He'd be in my squad

uwe

If picked on form*, I'd go:

Butland
Gomez Stones Jones
Trippier Winks Dier Young
Alli
Kane Rashford

*from that squad.
Otherwise Tarks and Cork for Jones and Dier.
(Marney needs to be at least 70% fit to get in, and I'm not sure he is yet)

Pope 7. Little to do. Worried me with his slight hesitation on clearances, but that will improve as he settles Lowton 6. Defensively good, attacking-wise, very little Mee 7. V solid Tarkowski 7 V solid with some lovely touches Ward 6. Same as Lowts. Solid defence, didn't add to our attacking options...

Clive Hubert Lloyd was my summertime sporting hero. (My username is a heavy clue as to my winter sports hero). Outstanding all-round cricketer, very fine captain and a principled gentleman.

So Tony, I guess you'd rather remember DiBranchio as a centre half/centre forward?

Oh how good would it be, at Wembley, to see Arf and Ash combine for an equaliser.... stalwarts of this era, on so many people's 'get rid' list.
C'mon you Clarets!

Hi Ty ... Tony. I am genuinely humbled to read this... We've never knowingly met, but I do recall your story from the old C-Mad site. You had a fight on your hands to allow you to do something magnificent. The world is tangibly and demonstrably a better place for your perseverance. Your sons are a c...

His 10 minute cameo to close out the win v Stoke was a joy to behold.

Steve Kindon and Terry Cochrane would be literally unstoppable.

I know what you mean but when he came on against Stoke to kill the game it was bl00dy hilarious.

Heaton 6 .... poor kicking Lowton 6 .... not an easy game Keane 7 ... smooth operator Mee 7 .... rugged defender Ward 6 .... will benefit from Brady giving him an option wide Boyd 4 ....

5-a-side is about movement, possession, technique, quick-wittedness and finishing.
That lot would be incredible.

Fair comment. 'We have what we have' - pacy international midfielder Brady, who I'm sure will start once he gets the hang of our framework, and so can relax a little more and show us what he can do (within said framework) - pacy international midfielder JBG, hopefully fit soon - international playma...

Game of two halves. At half time - delighted with another great performance. Thought if anything we shaded the first half, although they created a chance and we didn't really. Second half .... I've not seen football of that quality at the Turf since Chelsea in the opener two season ago. Sadly it was...

I too logged on simply to endorse Spice's post.

Word-perfect.

This is what makes our club what it is...
... and is the basis upon which we punch above our weight.

Very proud to be a Claret.

Ask anyone who has ever changed jobs. It takes time to adjust, and develop confidence in a new environment. Brady will be great, as will his mate Jeff. High hopes of JBG too. And Westie hasn't "forced his way onto the bench". Who should've been benched? Barton? Hendrick? Neither? In which case, West...
