EPL, eh? I bet North Korea would pass their fit-and-proper test.

This actually occurred to me yesterday.

Apparently the Saudis are now forgiven for the BelN illegal streaming. Strange how this prevented the takeover and not that Saudi Arabia is one of the most odious countries on Earth that shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near the English Premier League.

I also remember the goal against Chelsea for the game mentioned above. Ralph used to have trick of flicking the ball and I think he used this for the goal. He was running the show until Harris did a hatchet job on him.

Relocating the ground from Turf Moor would be a big mistake. With the ground situated close to the town centre people are constantly reminded of the club and probably is one of the reasons for so many locals supporting the club, something that is apparently higher for Burnley than most other clubs. ...

I certainly remember Coates being called chunky. No prizes for guessing why if you ever saw him, but boy what a player. My all time favourite.

Ian Fleming lived locally in Kent and there is a plaque on the wall of The Duck pub in Pett Bottom that says 'You Only Live twice' was written there.

The strange thing is that Roald Dahl wrote the screenplay for ‘You Only Live Twice’.

Was watching this again on match of the day. The more I see it the angrier I get. I can cope with VAR if the decision is reasonably quick and it is correct. Wood was ruled out against Leicester, correctly, albeit for being millimetres out, whilst this was clearly obviously a penalty. Someone needs t...

I noted that PSG allowed City to have most possessions and completely filled their penalty area to block off the tippy tappy football. City never cross and always try to pass their way through. OK, I know we don’t have Messi and co up front, but city do get frustrated with having every attempt.

Based upon current performances I would have to agree but in general I would say Pope is a better keeper. A lot these days does count on ability to play out but for me keeping the ball out of the net and dominating the area is more important.

If the cars are viewed in sepia or film noir then it doesn’t make any difference.

Very rarely to the Circulation, sometimes went to the Angels but quite often to Cats Whiskers.

Another top class striker of his age that we have lost. I do remember Hunt scoring against us at Turf Moor when Liverpool won 4-0 and 5-1 and used to dread them coming.

RIP Roger Hunt.

The innocent culprits

This something that has bugged me for years. You can have a beer whilst watching cricket or rugby or a concert, etc. But it is illegal to do it when watching a football match. The law restricts the possession of any alcohol in vehicles going to a match. A train passing through a line between two pla...

Let’s hope we can win this without any hiccups.

Polite note; we were beaten by Arsenal not Leeds at the weekend.

Wonderful gesture by the club to support research in fighting this terrible disease.

Cirrus_Minor

I agree that Jack Cork would be in my choice for CM but do remember that he was getting a lot of criticism on here last season. Maybe it’s a case of absence makes the heart grow fonder. I predict that Barnes will be dropped and that eventually people will be posting on here for him to be played again.

Cirrus_Minor

Very sorry to hear this today. A very talented footballer of his time who could finish better than Lineker but also a very quick dribbler. He always seems to score.

RIP

I can’t remember the last time we had a player doing step overs

Terry Cochrane was the first Burnley player who did step overs. I think Glenn Little used to do this as well.

I seem to remember Brian O’Neil scoring a 40 yarder against Man United at Turf Moor, could be wrong since memories do get amplified by time.

I had a ZX81 with a 1K memory. Wrote about 10 lines of code and the thing ceased to function. Very educational though (once I added a 64K memory) and have always been grateful for this.

RIP Sir Clive.

Probably still driving that white Range Rover.

I suspect that we will be making a few signings including CM. I think Pace had already said that they are trying to catch up on team investment missed on the last few years (or words to that effect).

Just hope that the league position at that time is in a good position to maintain this investment.

It was maybe blown up. Would only be a flash in the pan.

Reckless and lucky not to see red never mind yellow.

Awful injury but not sure it was a red having played it back a few times. Not sure Klopp should be allowed to talk to the ref prior to sending off either.

There used to be a tradition many years ago to take a stone up the hill and add to a pile at the top to make it a mountain. Bit daft since when after you have thrutched your way up there are already millions of stones already up there.

I thought he was a bit uptight and not as relaxed as usual. Also a little bit on the cringeworthy side because of some of the daft questions. I can’t say anybody learned anything about Sean from that.

Been for a long walk around Carlow Bottoms and called into a corner shop for a bottle of milk. I hurriedly bought the milk through a group of people talking about something important. When I came out I said to Mrs CM that there seems to have been something on the news. Got home and couldn’t believe ...

Very funny, classic tv comedy. I always loved how all of they had their own personalities and this was done brilliantly when they were in the Nags Head.

Wonderful acting and exceptional comedy writing.

My own dad also died 32 years ago in April. He would have been 100 last year.

A good watch.

He was in goal when Burnley won the League Championship in 1960.
