By "no details of the venue of the Christening", do you mean "although the venue of Westminster Cathedral has been confirmed by the Johnsons and by Westminster Cathedral authorities, I prefer to ignore the evidence because I don't like the Prime Minister"? Given that was only published by the Daily...

The issue about playing the 'kids' is that the u23s have a Premier League 2 game v Newcastle on Friday and the u18s play at Manchester United in the Premier League u18s on Saturday. That means you can't play the u23s in the Millwall game as the kids couldn't play the u23 game on Friday and then be r...

No details of the venue of the Christening, just lots of statements that it was a small, private service. The allegation is that he went to Perugia and had the service there.

Brady just gives the ball away all the time. Glad he’s off. Good debut from Dunne. Brownhill playing well.

Like that pass to Schmeichel just before he got injured?

If the arm is extended from the body when it hits then it is a penalty every time. That's the rules since the start of last season. We didn't moan when we got a penalty last season v Bournemouth? 'Natural body shape' does not include outstretched arms. Just because some people believe football was b...

Does this mean he becomes the next target for the haters?
They need one now Hendrick has left.

Brady is the leading candidate at the moment but I'm sure Lowton, Long and, possibly, Wood (for his offsides) will attract some of the small-minded too.

No bus driver should be subject to abuse however, to simply not enforce this for an easy life is sweeping the issue under the carpet and putting others at risk.

The other issue, from a Burnley viewpoint, is that this is a far bigger proportion of our revenue than virtually every other club in the Premier League.

when a manager says I wouldn’t go much higher than 1.5m for Grigg and then they double it to 3m it’s comedy gold.

I don’t think that comedy exists at Burnley.

We would do the opposite I think, the manager says he's worth £3m and our negotiating team offer £.3m for the opening bid.

Like the ground in which they play, a wistful, charming relic in a world of insincere pretences, Burnley have no desire to exist in this modern footballing world in any other way than their own way. The Burnley way.

And grinding out scabby wins will keep us up forever? Yes.

Currently, points are not aw...

If that is what he meant then that is a recruitment strategy. No BFC Chairman in the past 25 years or more has talked about our recruitment objectives - that is for the manager to discuss, or not, as the case may be.

then 15 enter at 2nd round.

72 in R1 gives 36 going into R2 where they are joined by the 12 PL clubs not involved in Europe = 48. 24 go into R3 where they are joined by the other 8 = 32
