It's a decision that some don't like but that doesn't meant it's poor. Let's see how many turn up for the game.

It sounds great to me. With a 1pm kick off, even the Chelsea fans will be home in good time for anything that's planned for the evening.

Sproggy

If this was set up in the away team penalty area, it could probably run thoughout the 2nd half.

Sproggy

Anyone know if the drummer will be in place in time for the next home game? That will help massively.

Sproggy

Thought about it but I'm old enough to have seen them do it the first time round in sensibly sized venues (also Glastonbury and Knebworth thinking about it) - and then I saw the ticket prices. I've gone in for the Euro 2024 ballot instead.

We drop our dipthongs if you must know.

I think this post (inadvertently) pinpoints why so many folk (on here at least) are so reluctant to give GS the credit he is due. They just don’t like the fact that he supported his players in their stance against racism. Wow. I know some of the posters on here are desperate to propagate they myth ...

Steve Coogan is brilliant 👏 top actor.. Yeah, fair play to him for taking it on. So many ways he could have got it wrong but i think he manages to do it justice. What he gets across really well are the occassional lapses from the familiar facade into the nasty ******* he was in reality. Very, very ...

How do you get to be a professional footballer and not have the confidence to pass the ball into the net from 2 yards with your left foot? What a donkey.

I think women's tennis has earned the right to have equal billing with men's tennis and that's reflected in the number of people that want to watch it and the amount of sponsorship that it generates.

Sproggy

What are you wittering on about? Should Leagues 2 or 1 be classed as "stand-alone sports" as they are so substandard compared to the PL? OK I'll play along. Pick the best women's club team and tell me where you think they'd be in the mens football pyramid. Then is that the amount of coverage they s...

:D I was just pulling your legs really but I honestly wish they would just get back to whoever is best for the job. I believe Souness was asked to leave sky because he said football is a man’s game. Technically incorrect like tennis isn’t just a mans game. Souness when commenting on a men's game wh...

Let's hope he never becomes Burnley's manager then.

You would worry about the state of the club if the answer to whatever problems we were facing was Gareth Southgate.

Sproggy

He's made me care about international football so little that I don't know when we're playing, who we're playing or why we're playing.

Sproggy

I don't think Gordon stood out in that Newcastle team. They were all at it. Not only throwing themselves around at the slightest hint of contact but surrounding the ref at any opportunity they could - even for trivial decisions - which got the crowd involved. All clearly orchestrated.

Sproggy

Ok. So we agree on naive.

Nothing inept or spineless - but we were beaten by a better team.

How about toothless and naive instead?

Let's see what happens on Tuesday but that was pretty poor today.

One Student ticket spare in Trawden 25 quid) ..just tried your email and it bounced.

The thing I think is quite sad is that he's almost at his peak and could well miss out on a whole season if not in the Chelsea team. He might end up financially better off but missing a whole year in what can be a relatively short career could be detrimental. He has 35 minutes of Premier League foo...

Yep, got 2. Signal rubbish here so sent you a WhatsApp.

I defintely have 1. Might have 2 if I can convince the wife not to go (she's scared of heights). The new bandings mean the seats aren't together but they are as close as I could get.

Sproggy

He got frustrated in the 2nd half and should probably have been booked earlier. Not his night but it's not like we created a bucket load of typical centre-forward type chances and he ended up trying a bit hard and scuffing anything that did come his way. Barnes had his moment at Sunderland, maybe th...

from BBC:
The incident happened when Rashford had left United's Carrington training ground in his white Rolls Royce.

His white 700,000 quid Rolls Royce.

That assumes a knowledge of all the female broadcasters around the regions which most on here won't have.

It would be remarkable if there wasn't someone out there that could bring more to the roll than Alex Scott.

Unless you're suggesting that she's as good as it gets?

I didnt expect anyone on this messageboard to harbour hostile, sexist or misogynistic attitudes towards a women in sport.

Ashley Wiliams has also been criticised - I think that gives you enough ammunition to label anyone that disagrees with you as racist too.

Horrific the amount of posters on this thread throwing out accusations, misinterpretations and uneducated gammon-esque bigotry.

There’s a few that play in the Pendle Sunday League. Paak Utd I believe.

Paak A and Paak B were in the local leagues when I was playing 20 odd years ago. The A team had some good players.

The old folk and the conned stayed the vote, at the last, when the tories and Gordon Brown supposedly agreed a major devolutuon, just short of independence.

He'll do for me. Looks very smart in his white socks and Doc Marten loafers.

He looks like an absolute wazzock dressed like that, but if that's how he wants to spend his money, it's up to him.

Sproggy

Ahh, now you see, you've failed at the first hurdle there. If you were a proper fan (TM), you'd understand that there are no valid excuses for leaving early.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but games actually last for 90 minutes & not 4.

He doesn't see much of the game after the 4th minute. He's too worried about watching the exits for people who leave early without a valid excuse.

Hilarious to see the supposed ITK gang with egg on their faces , hopefully they won't be quite so cocky and righteous from here on.

I admire your optimism, but don't share it.

That's a great reveal vid. Welcome to Burnley, Mike.

Presumably there are players selected for all other nations who aren’t currently getting much first team action at their clubs. Do you have similar issues when Burnley’s bench players get selected to play for their nations? Yes, if it's England. Who cares who gets picked for teams they don't suppor...

He picks the players who serve him well for England. Maguire has always looked a different beast playing under Southgate than he has for Utd. We’ve got to the WC semi final and the final of the Euros in the last 2 tournaments. I’m not sure anyone else would have done any better. Geoff Hurst has nev...

The CFS is a shambles at half time and not fit for purpose. The people queuing for the bar (slow service) block the people wanting to go to the toilets or outside for a smoke / soft drinks which creates a huge bottleneck.

Was his £200,000+ per week salary at Liverpool not already a stupid amount of money for something he loved doing? He's been earning north of £10 million a year for a good number of years. It's nothing more than naked greed. That isn't surprising in itself. What is surprising is how quickly a very r...

UEFA & associates are no doubt doing everything in their power to keep control over the " kitty".
But they will be penniless and powerless when the TV companies switch allegiance.

Which is why the Super League might look a bit more attractive to the powers that be within UEFA.

And Ronaldo plays for Al Nassr.

Never heard of them.

Nobody cares.
Nobody watches it.
Nobody knows any of the teams. Who does Ronaldo play for?
No history.
No supporters.
Let them take the money and disappear into obscurity. With a bit of luck it will speed up the advent of the Super League as a UEFA response.
