So Brighton go down with WBA and the Blades is that acceptable to you?

So long as we don't go down, I don't give a rat's crucible

Imagine if the old board had got to this stage of the window without bringing anyone in.....

Very difficult times for everyone. I guess this will be the "Window that never was" for many.

Draw half-time Newcastle to win v Everton 16/1

Draw half-time Burnley win (Liverpool away) 40/1

It has been a crazy year with some crazy results. If you must bet, make it small and expect to lose

"Why are you a Burnley fan?"

A bit like asking

"Why does the sun rise in the morning?"

Born in Bank Hall, we moved away and, as a child, I was taken to Old Trafford, Maine Road and Burnden Park but, like a spawning salmon, I made my way back to the area. It's in the blood !

RalphCoatesComb

Longsider and Ralph, I hope you'll agree that Jack deserves this one for the amount of work he has already put in. There's always next time, anyway. Sorry but I have to go out now. I'll check what's happening upon my return home later on. UTC !! 8-) Abso-flippin-lutely! Thank you Jack. Me and Spot ...

First time under Dyche I think - last one I can recall is Derby in 2010/11 when we were 1-0 and 2-1 down then went on to win 4-2

Thank goodness for Jamie Ward

I think you will struggle jdrobbo, Brian Easton certainly had trouble spotting the ball.

Perhaps he's going to do it The Sean Dyche way. Keep 'em out and score the odd 1 - 0 victory

There obviously is no impropriety. I'm in the other league as requested so all good and above board

I don't how you managed it but thanks Ralph and Spot

We'd love to take responsibility and credit for your good fortune but, it really was random

RalphCoatesComb

I see the greedy players of the game ignored the will of the fans and went ahead with their own Super League with Buxton, Bobinho and Dazzler together. Which TV company got the rights for the live games and how much do each of the greedy buggers get? :D Any suggestions of impropriety should be addr...

Pieters is very relevant. Martínez has to be in two minds because it looks as though Pieters might get a touch. He’d have looked pretty stupid had that happened and the keeper gone for the corner. As for Wood’s. Was said on commentary that he had no chance. When I saw it live from the main camera I...

RalphCoatesComb

You took my comment about giving it a miss because Buxton was playing as literal then. I'm taking the ball home, so good luck trying to spot a ball that's not there, even though that's what the game is about. :lol: You managed to confuse me then, and you've managed to do it again. Giving it a miss ...

RalphCoatesComb

Not sure what you expected the goalkeeper to do on those goals. Pieters is inches from getting a touch to the McNeil goal and the header from Wood was superb. Having spent far too many frozen hours between the sticks, I can assure you that I would have been very disappointed to have let in either o...

RalphCoatesComb

By the time he realised it wasn't getting a touch it was far too late to get down to it. That was the problem. Anticipation is key to the role of a 'keeper. He was made to look stupid by a fairly weak cross/ shot. Look at Dwight's face when he realised that it had gone it. He was almost as amazed a...

The Everton supporters on their message board are just as sure as we are that Pope is the better keeper.

Actually, probably our worst player last night.

Not at his best.

Are you sure? You do know Brady and Brownhill were on the pitch, don't you? Apart from which, Tarks made some important challenges in and around our box, whilst on a yellow card.

I still think I'm doing my bit though through my input with the estimating and will continue to do my best for the cause. Thanks for considering me. You most certainly are "doing your bit".

Chose to play a lame donkey! Everyone who witnessed our dramatic come back last night was a little surprised (Understatement of the year award). Dean Smith looked shell-shocked; Grealish was in tears; and even Sean Dyche was "pleased". Where did it go wrong for Villa? The speculative cross/ shot by ...

Following the 19th. game of the season I think that all the Burnley players have escaped a suspension for 5 yellow cards. Westwood and Barnes were on 4 yellow cards but Westwood did not pick up a card tonight and obviously Barnes did not play. Keeping the back four clear was important. Tarks played...

To be fair, anyone can make a mistake, but why be fair? Very poor goalkeeping !

Meanwhile my 1.5 has seen me quietly up to 22nd.

Just watch it, Ralphie.

With such an unassailable lead, I'd better get the bio-hazard suit out again soon!

Do we have a "volunteer" for the Chelski game, or is ir another Press Gang job

As good as our victory at Anfield?

Coupon buster if it stays like this

Chris Wood is a proven Premier League goalscorer. Givem the service, he will score !

RalphCoatesComb

Been said many times, Ben Mee really is our Captain Fantastic.

If and when Tarks goes on to bigger and better, he will struggle to find another back four partner who is as good.
