Mine have just turned up!

Reiterates developmental desire of the club. Doesn't cover player sales, debt payments, future signings, expectations for the season... unless there's a part 2. Seemed to be various clips cut together, so there may be more to come. Yeah, it felt like that start of what could have been a very good i...

Their fans were getting so tetchy that the chairman had to publish this:

Exciting times?

No. It's a cr*p system, implemented badly, by idiots.

A mate of mine has got the bug again and decided to buy a season ticket after a 2 year absence. He has managed to get a seat directly behind us to keep the old team together. However he's been told that he can't have the seat on boxing day as someone has bought a ticket for that game. ;) Even so, t...

8 pints before half 8 is a tremendous effort. Fair play

You did see the heinous foul leading to England's penalty the other night didn't you?

Sproggy

That isn't what it means. It should be described as football beacuse it's the same sport, not because they want you to compare men's and women's teams, players or games. Last night the commentators pointed out that Ellen White is now second in the list of all time England goal scorers with only Way...

He looked decent when he came on against Huddersfield and put our best cross of the game in from the left.

It's not much to go off, I know, but hopefully we'll see a bit more of him this season.

Sproggy

Maybe they should have thanked him in a montage video as well.

It is just common courtesy to say farewell and thanks to someone on their way out of a job at the end of their contract. ----------------- June 10, 2022 Burnley Football Club can confirm its list of retained players following the end of the 2021/22 season.

Any changes would discriminate against those of us that have been through the painful 15 year process of rearing 6000 point holders.

Spurs share it around a bit. They must nominate their "designated diver" before every game.

They'll have to train Richarlison to reign it in a bit when it's not his day.

Sproggy

I watched England recently and it did my head in, I just kept wanting them to go long 😂 I think some of the older fans will struggle with it, younger lads/lasses have been taught to play this way for a while now. I can already hear the groans Playing out from the back is fine if there's a purpose. ...

My lad was there for a week as part of his degree earlier this year. He loved it - he's been trying to convince us to go on holiday ever since.

Get out of the city and explore a bit.

For some McNeil context, a source on Twitter is suggesting Spurs may bid 25 million for Anthony "dive! dive!" Gordon.

Man City are looking for their academy to produce a Phil Foden every few years.

There's a group on now called the foals.
Needless to say they are VERY popular in Blackburn. Apparently a couple of them like the band asxwell.

The Foals sound terrible. He can't sing.

There is plenty of money being spent on fixing leaks in the reservoirs but it's non stop work. I used to do a lot of scaffolding work for them, mainly drilling platforms. Certainly not doubting that, I'm sure they're spending billions. It's just that they could spend an awful lot more if that was t...

Across England and Wales, just under 3 billion litres (660 million gallons) of water is lost to leaks every day - equivalent to 1,180 Olympic swimming pools.

We shouldn't have droughts, but it would take a few years of shareholders getting no dividends to sort out, which obvioulsy won't do.

Spot on sproggy but you forgot australia, they love to burn coal.

That's fine though because next time they suffer an extreme drought we'll all feel sorry for them and chip in to the relief fund.

Sproggy

China doesn't care. America doesn't care. India doesn't care.

Europe cares a bit, but they'd still prefer to see Ukranians die than suffer the inconvenience of higher energy prices.

It's going to take a mass migration event or climate war for governments to respond properly.

Sproggy

It isn't one game with Southgate. He has played the same flat, passionless football since day one. It was evident with his Middlesbrough side as well as his England U21 side and now the England team. Key features of his style are a massive drop off in chances created (and goals scored) from open pl...

Sproggy

At least with Stones off we can dispense with one of the holding midfielders.

Hungary. Or any other side with the vaguest semblance of a plan.

0-2. Time to really let the handbrake off by switching from two holding midfielders to one?

We've completed a good percentage of the lateral passes while retaining possession in our own half so plenty for Southgate to be pleased with in the performance again.

75% possession of which 90% is in our own half. Gareth will be moist at the feast of passing that his team are serving up.

Sproggy

One positive is that Calvin Phillips is acqitting himself fairly well against Callum Styles.

Sproggy

As someone who likes nothing more than watching endless, aimless slow passes sideways and backwards, I'm quite looking forward to this one.

I had 4 pancakes for my breakfast, each one stacked on top of the other.
To be fair though, you don't see many square pancakes these days.

Those pancakes were cylinders.

Strictly speaking as two dimensional shapes neither are stackable. If you want stacking it’s cubes and spheres you want.

Is Rowls talking about stacking two dimensional shapes though? Maybe he's stacking 3-D shapes of zero height?

I can't wait to watch the Best Coach In The World(TM) turn this lad into a goal scorer.

The other "risk" for Pope is that he'll leave Burnley, not settle at his new club and Southgate will drop him for Johnstone/Henderson/Forster anyway.

I saw PiL last week. 2 hours of my life I won't get back again. Lydon was what he is though, so my fault for going

When we saw PiL I though musically, they were excellent. What let it down was Lydon trying too hard to be Lydon.

If you jump back a completion or two, you can get Seaman Walker ferdinand Adams cole Rice Stevens gascoigne foden Scholes Shearer The problem is Southgate. He'd drop Gazza to accommodate Nicky Butt in the double pivot. Pickford would be in above Seaman (he's better with his feet). Macguire for Adam...

A combined team probably looks something like this

James
Walker Rio Terry Cole
Scholes Gerrard Lampard
Foden
Kane Rooney

You've got a left back at left back and only one right back.

Who are the two holding midfielders in this line up?

England CB's get the ball spread it wide to the fullbacks high up the pitch who the cut inside and give it back to the CB's and repeat occasionally give it to the wingers who then cut inside and give it to the fullbacks who give it to the CB's and the cycle starts again. ******* boring shite.

Can you image what a manager of the likes of Pep or Klopp would do with this set of players? Yeah. They'd play 6 defenders and a keeper irrespective of the opposition. Have Kane drop deep. Slow the game down as much as possible. Play endless aimless passes back and forth inside our own half and def...

Was Bob Lord antisemitic?

Did he apologise?

It's a bit underwhelming. Good luck to him but I thought his sights would be a bit higher.

Rumours he is at Everton for a medical.

I think we should give Bob the opportunity to respond. Until then, leave it as it is.

What we need are more right backs to complement the two holding midfielders with Kane dropping deep. ____________________Pickford __________Walker____Macguire_____Justin Alex-Arnold____________________________Trippier ________________Phillips_____Rice ______________________Kane Saka_________________...

It really won't.

Particularly as it was probably a consolation goal that made the score 6-1.
