Man Utd: draw Villa and West Ham: wins. An optimistic 7 points Not seen anything to change my earlier view. If anything, I am even more pessimistic now than I was then. I used to take exception to the comments aimed at us by fans of other teams but cannot really argue with it these days. Getting a ...

If this is true about nothing happening does this kill the idea once and for all that you know who is in the know!!
In future I will listen to CT and not any "listen to me, I know what you don't!!" type.

Apologies if they announce a new signing later this afternoon of course.

CaptainKirk

Have we signed anyone yet?

Do we ever actually practise crossing and free kicks?

Leigh Francis (Keith Lemon et al) has to be one of the unfunniest people on TV after Ricky Gervais 🙄 2 people I find about as funny as having Root Canal surgery without anaesthetic Whilst everyone is allowed an opinion normally I will have to make an exception in your case - Ricky Gervais is a geni...

Disappointing from Brady. Usually does a lot better than that.

No he doesn’t

I hope your not Venturing out of your exclusive hamlet and Shopping in the big supermarkets? You surely have a corner shop. We dont like your sort in the Town rocking up with the horse n carts..

That would be classed as essential shopping I guess, which is allowed.

CaptainKirk

At least we can probably agree on one thing - this thread was started and carried on by an attention seeking halfwit trying to sound clever.

Anyone know what the rules are regarding travelling for exercise?

A total genius and a truly unique talent. Ridiculous to have to pick one song ... I can't even pick the best song on The Rise and fall of Ziggy Stardust and could nominate 6 or 7 songs off that one album alone (Soul Love , for instance, is not heard that much but an absolute classic imo) BUT I alwa...

Definately a process in eating one of those.
The nut had to be endured first to get it out of the way.
Then do the business on all the whip bit til it was clean.
Finally, the chocolate in at once and let it melt in the mouth.
Happy memories.

Just to say, never heard of it, but will give it a look based on this thread. ta.

My folks live up Ightenhill way and there's a lovely trail down to the bottom of Ightenhill Park Lane where the bridge crosses the Calder and then loops round the back of Burnley's training complex towards Padiham. Not the weather for it now but when you get a bit of sunshine there's loads of field...

Played for several Saturday and Sunday teams for donkey's years including Worsthorne, Belvedere, Generals and Redrose. So long in fact you might have expected me to get good at it but that never seemed to happen! I did score a hat trick once and then was subbed off in the very next game by a fellow ...

Looks like thunderbirds

For those of us of a certain age it was fantastic.
Sure, watch it now as a cynical adult and it will look poor but it was a part of my childhood I will never forget.

To try and bring this thread back to the topic, I can see points in our next 6, we have finally found our strong jaw again, and we're now keeping clean sheets once more. Man U (H) - I don't expect anything here, United have found their stride and they'll have too much for us. (0) West Ham (A) - We ...

CaptainKirk

It was definately not a fishing attempt. Just look at those games. I did end by saying they might hopefully sneak a couple of draws (maybe WH away and Villa home). Hopefully, they will win all six. Duffer - I did say that the next batch looked a lot more winnable. We might just have to keep calm on ...

I accidentally caught some of this last night. Now, there are quite a few contenders out there, but that must be the worst piece of television I have ever seen! Everything they say has been written for them. The same sequence of camera shots for each segment. One highlight for me was the young blond...

CaptainKirk

Bit bored so looking ahead. I know games are played on grass and not in my head but each time I picture each of those games I see a defeat. Zero points out of the next 18 available would be a sobering prospect. Let's hope they can surprise us and sneak a couple of draws to keep the points total tick...

CaptainKirk

Good read that. I refuse to use the term "exciting" as that word has been ruined for me now. I like the DM and fwiw they are usually quite complimentary about us. What has been destroyed at Southampton???? I know they have produced plenty of young talent and a lot of it has moved on, which is inevit...

Didn't stop them coming though.

There's a nice field to sledge in kids!
But Dad, what about the sheep?
It's alright son, we'll soon scare them away.
Remember, it's your right to sledge, walk, park, litter, ****, etc anywhere you want to.

CaptainKirk

" Claret Tony ", you will know better than me, but is there a way you could pen an " open letter " to these Gentlemen, especially Barry Kilby to thank them for all their work over the last 25 years or so, and post it on a format where we could add our names to it ... ?? Good shout - now go to sleep...

CaptainKirk

Can I add my thanks as well.
Had 2 wishes in my life as a fan:
1, see Burnley in the Premier League;
2, see England win a Euro or World Cup

The gents named above, together with their colleagues, made the first wish a reality many times over - thank you.

We're all real fans. Good job we're not in one of the lower leagues or we wouldn't be able to watch at all.

Those days were far more entertaining than this PL malarkey.
Give me goals and promotion pushes over this fare anytime.

CaptainKirk

You have to be a real fan to watch this every week.

Reading this morning that Messi is considering a move soon. Maybe he is going to test himself in a proper league - no wait, he fancies USA. What a fraud.

great escape is utter nonsense, escape to victory is horrendous, and its a wonderful life has recently become a trendy film title, its been around for decades, and there was little or no interest in it. Baaaaaah !

Give you the first two but you leave “It’s a Wonderful Life” alone tosspot!

Another shout for "It's a Wonderful Life"
Gets me everytime no matter how many times I have seen it.
Strange to think it was considered a flop at the time of release I believe.

CaptainKirk

Best ever???!!!! Don't make me laugh. Spent his career in a pub league, playing on carpets, scoring goals against nonentities who aren't allowed to tackle him. Pele was kicked all over the place and has 3 World Cups to his name. Maradona was kicked up hill and down dale and has a World Cup (and anot...

Apparently Messi has just scored his 6,000th goal against some team called Real Valedoodle.
What a waste of a career.
"Grandad, show us your medals!"
"Look at this, I won 54 Spanish Leagues and 42 Spanish Cups!"

CaptainKirk

Often wondered - who are these players praying to when they walk out?
If there was a God, do you think he would care if someone won at football?

CaptainKirk

Settle for a draw now.

CaptainKirk

Just to catch up.
I think I remember a couple of weeks ago some "ITK" people were saying the deal was about to be announced and CT was saying it definately wasn't about to be announced - can we now assume CT was correct?

CaptainKirk

I don't think he will - but he would if he did.

CaptainKirk

Why does this get reported as news? Apparently, it's a quadruple treble (sounds like something Billy Connolly would drink). Haven't they won the League 99 times out of the last 100 years or thereabouts? I put it on a par with Messi being called world class after spending his career in a pub league b...
