Is Drinkwater injured?

Re-Michael Docherty. I will always remember Tommy Docherty being interviewed years ago and being asked why his son had signed for Burnley after being in the the youth team at Chelsea. He replied that he had sent him up there to learn how to play football.

And Docherty was playing inside left?!?

Ah, it's the right wing press again. They must be very naughty boys. Well I fell into that one. In the case of Corbyn, he didn’t need the press to be against him. He would have lost anyway due to his staggering incompetence. Gordon Brown, on the other hand, had the press, who had previously backed ...

I think that you’re wrong to bracket Gordon Brown with Miliband and Corbyn. In my view, a political heavyweight who might just have swung the 2010 election had it not been for the Murdoch press and being unfortunate enough to encounter that hideous woman from Rochdale.

We have the most extreme right government in recent history who have spent ten years looting and vandalising our public services, and making the poor poorer; a lazy, useless racist chancer as PM, whose inability to lead has cost us tens of thousands of lives during this pandemic, and driven the cou...

Surely the fact that both Bardsley and Hendrick haven’t followed suit today is a sign that maybe they might have been offered something more than just a short end of season extension.

dermotdermot

I really can’t understand why Bardsley and Hendrick haven’t even been offered contract extensions to the end of this season let alone longer term extensions. Both are apparently training with the team and looked, from the photos on this forum, quite happy. Surely they will be needed for the hectic s...

Four months to come to a conclusion that was blatantly obvious to anyone with an ounce of common sense. Corbyn and Co have dragged the Labour Party down to the depths of despair, from which it will take an eternity to recover. At a time when perhaps a realistically moderate party was needed more tha...

I seem to remember him coming on as a sub for England, perhaps as a wing back, in the World Cup quarter final against Cameroon in 1990 and making two crucial tackles that prevented the opposition from scoring. Without those tackles, England could have lost the game.

It might just install a little confidence if the Chinese were to finally do something about these disgusting meat markets. As reported yesterday, an outbreak centred around the Xinfadi market in Beijing. If this current pandemic were to subside, we could be back to square one with further mutations ...

A new outbreak in China reported to be centred around a market in Beijing. Parts now in lockdown. This ‘market’ claims to be the largest agricultural market in Asia. Cutting boards, being used to prepare imported salmon, tested positive for the virus. The salmon has been withdrawn from supermarkets...

Off the subject of statues, etc., I know, but HBO max have removed Gone With the Wind from its schedules indefinitely. This will rage on and on and is most definitely going to increase racial tension, not lessen it.

I’ve just read several articles about Cecil Rhodes. He comes across as an extremely hardworking man who achieved an enormous amount against a backdrop of ill health and various setbacks throughout his life. He instigated a scholarship system where people from Africa could travel to Oxford to enrol. ...

This is just getting more ridiculous by the minute. We are in the middle of this global pandemic which is affecting hundreds of millions of people worldwide, whether by illness, death or financial ruin and this little idiot feels the need to placate these black terrorists by suggesting that we renam...

No you didn't

He might have done. I tuned into this thread and was momentarily confused by the last post.

That's good to hear. If it's in the Mail then the likelihood is that the opposite is true

it's in the Burnley Express as well. Primarily centres on the fact that both Bardsley and Hendrick have not been offered new contracts as of yet.

People are still trying to get down to Durdle Door even though the roads to Lulworth have been blocked. The roads around Poole Harbour and Sandbanks in particular, are totally gridlocked, with cars parked on every available piece of tarmac, whether it be pavement or road. Harry Redknapp is unable to...

Well I didn’t ask if you’ve jumped off that specific rock. I’m sure we’ve all done things similar to this in the past. It’s no big deal. That’s not the point. The point is that a couple of helicopters had to run the risk of landing on a sloping stoney packed beach and the crews had to mingle with p...

Astonishing that so many were there. Quite a trek to get down there and no sand, just large pebbles which are uncomfortable to walk and sit on. The papers don’t help either. One mooting Kimmeridge as being a ‘must visit’ place to go. You can just see it. Hordes of people descending down there with t...

I must say that I don’t particularly like the fellow and what he did was a bit odd, to say the least, but the longer this goes on, with baying crowds and hostile neighbours besieging his house, I’m starting to feel a little sorry for him. Both him and his wife weren’t very well and they have a son w...

As far as I remember, there was a sharp increase in cases in the north east a few weeks after Cummings travelled up there. Arrogant little sod as well, the way he tried to defend his actions on the doorstep. I hope he goes. Always has struck me as extremely creepy.

BBC3 was a useless channel and wasn't missed at all. BBC4 is a wonderful channel and will be sorely missed by many as perhaps the only free to air channel dedicated to the arts. Ludicrous if true.

I really don’t know why he had to endure all that. He never looked that bad to me. I can think of umpteen current premier league players who really are ugly to look at.

According to my wife, you need to boil water, let it cool, add salt and let it sit around the tooth for a while before spitting it out and repeating a couple of times. Then apply a clove and let it sit on the tooth for a while.

I hope we put false crowds in the stands like Arsenal did when turning a Highbury terrace into seated. With crowd noises being played. I noticed a female football player on Twitter saying this is a major stumbling block for the women's game they have trying to sell it. Crowd noise as well as the mu...

Don’t you remember that in 1992, Arsenal played their games in front of a giant mural of painted supporters due to some redevelopment behind one of the goals. We could do the same. It would actually be an improvement on having to see close ups of ugly fist clenching, mouthy supporters from many club...

After having great difficulty in doing so, I finally managed upload a picture of my turntable. It's a Michell Focus One fitted with an SME 3009 arm. The mat is made of suede. Lovely colour, eh?

For an entry turntable, I would go for the Rega against the Project. It may be a small matter to some but I never like the way the platter on the Project is smaller in diameter to that of the LP. If you really want to splash out though, you could spend around £5000 on a top of the range Michell turn...

Exactly. All those selfishly wasted years, leaving us with a government that is just so ill prepared and unsuitable for the current crisis.
