Cajun

Been wearing my Custard World T-shirt today -- 10 years old and it certainly looks it!! Anyone back yet?

Cajun

From watching via NBCSN here in Philly: Pope 8 - Very happy to have Nick in goal, did fine in awkward conditions apart from tangling with Mee attempting to punch in the second half. Vital and superb save from Redmond with the score still at 0-0. Lowts 7 - Steady enough. Tarks 8 - Solid in difficult ...

Cajun

Looked a bit unsure first half and he and Dwight didn't seem to be helping each other, but as with the whole team, did much better second half and seemed to grow in confidence. Lovely cross for second goal. Good competition at left back now.

Cajun

Daft-looking ball, although it looked very nice nestling in the net three times. Typical Barnes game that - put himself about in difficult conditions, kept plugging away, two good finishes.

Cajun

Three points and 3-0 is a great start. Disjointed first half, but great finish from Ash with that early shot after seizing on the defender's misjudgment to break the deadlock, then we coped well with the conditions and looked in control. Shakes off the rust and should give everyone confidence with D...

Cajun

For me, the DD signing has put a whole new positive slant on the Big Kick-Off. He will be here for a minimum half a season, I expect him to be starting games, and I think he brings a real creative spark. Combined with keeping hold of Tarka, and having Dwight here to continue to develop for another f...

Cajun

No way we can ever out-football the top clubs. The money they can spend ensures that now. So - You adapt to your surroundings, you do what you need to do to survive, you make the best use of the players at your disposal, you find the weaknesses of others and exploit them - Burnley preparing for a fo...

Cajun

Been in various home parts of several grounds back in the late 70s - early 80s when it was possible to pick up ' comps' now and again depending on who you knew - some places are harder than others to blend in though! I've stood in the Shed at Chelsea and kept my trap shut; the West Side Upton Park a...

Cajun

Uwe. Always gave the impression he was giving 110% and could get the best out of the Clarets around him.

Cajun

Think it was March 78 we won 3-1 at Hull. Hitched up from Staffordshire, and after game and a few beers had hitched a ride as far as the Warrington / Irlam turnoff on the M6 south by sometime after midnight. Then torrential downpour and as I was in my usual denim jacket I was completely soaked to th...

Cajun

My original Burnley hero, hope you have many more birthdays yet to come Willie.

Cajun

As a former longtime regional journalist it makes me sad to witness the continued contraction of the newspaper industry. I don't think a single office I was based in still exists as it did when I was there. (Or maybe I had that impact on them.....) Glad I got my time in before the electronic media b...

Cajun

Looking at the pic from 2 weeks ago, seems that with smaller plastic seats going in for the visitors, it is now more like a 50-50 split in the stand. How many extra seats has it created for Clarets, and what is the capacity increased to? The more Clarets in there the better.

Cajun

Sad to hear that iconic New Orleans musician and Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Dr. John (Mac Rebennack) has died aged 77 of a heart attack. Saw him perform many times, most memorably a the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and at Tipitina's in New Orleans. A colourful character and his music has been...

My Old Man, just 20 at the time, was the "sparks" on the destroyer Kootenay, one of the group of ships tasked with protecting Allied operations in the English Channel and the Bay of Biscay in the build up to, during, and after D-Day. Kootenay credited with sinking 3 U-boats in its patch following D ...

Cajun

The Longside dividing fence was definitely not in place during the 1974 FA Cup run. And off top of my head, I am sure that the fence was not in place when there was extensive "stampeding" around the Longside which also spilled onto the pitch when we drew 0-0 with Stoke in the final game of the 74-75...

Cajun

Trouble posting so apologies if appears more than once. York 92 special for me as I was living in York then. But I always recall the reason that game took place on the night it did - original game in February called off because of death of young player Ben Lee in accident at the Turf.

Cajun

Been on so many away days with the Clarets when just a few dozen, or many many thousands of travelling fans could create an atmosphere that was special or electrifying in its own right. Something different from the wonderful ones mentioned already that has always stood out for me - particularly thin...

Cajun

My original and all-time Burnley hero. Best wishes for a full recovery.

Cajun

Sean and Burnley are a great fit for each other and he has used the players at his disposal to great effect against some of the best coaches in the game while learning his trade. The big clubs are so far ahead in terms of finance and the players they can attract that we can’t try to outplay them, we...

Cajun

Absorbing game, thoroughly enjoyed that. Passion. character, determination - hurt my throat shouting when Ash netted, you could probably hear me all the way to Vegas. Massive for impetus and confidence was that.

Cajun

I worked at McDonalds for a while in the late 70s - when there were only 23 outlets in the whole country, all in London apart from one in Southend, and the High Street Kensington branch where I was rated the third busiest in the world outside of the US. My abiding memory is seeing the grotesque insi...

11-15,000!!! You mean according to this complete nugget.

Cajun

Somehow it just feels so much better to have Heaton back between the sticks - and great to have Pope back to full fitness and playing again. Hart has served his purpose now. I will be more than happy to have either Tom or Nick as first choice going forward, and with Tom now back in the first team I ...

Cajun

Really like this lad, he did tire the last 15 but I think it will have done him good to know he can get through the full 90+ mins. Keeps his place for me.

Cajun

Well something changed because that was the best I have seen from the Clarets in a long time. Outstanding first 60 minutes, and confidence seemed to be flowing through the team. Personally, I was glad to see Tom back between the sticks doing his organizing, and somehow it just felt like Burnley agai...

Cajun

Unfortunately Turtle, yes he does have nuclear weapons, and I have no doubt that when the Mueller investigation tightens its noose around Dirtbag Donald's vein-popping neck, he would have no hesitation in using bombs/missiles against anyone who is a convenient target as the ultimate deflection to tr...

Cajun

I thought that was a very good away performance, and we could easily have come back with a win. Some good slick passing in the first half, couple of good stops from their keeper and the usual onside goal chalked off for offside (how many times did that happen last season?) and yes, very solid when t...

Cajun

Can kick this around for hours, but I keep coming back to these 5: 1 - Grewcock 87 v Orient , it broke the deadlock before any desperation could set in. 2 - Britton 87 v Orient - A point would not have been enough, and that would have been that. 3 - Cooke 98 v Plymouth - his second put us back in fr...

Cajun

Well we rose from the dead on May 9, 1987. with the pledge that the club would never get into that situation again, and gradually hauled ourselves upward, and got a season in the Championship in 94-95. But there was then a danger of letting it slip again, and we went into the final game of the 97-98...

Cajun

It was my summer between leaving school and going to uni. Was playing for Fleetwood CC that summer and remember the outfields being parched brown everywhere.

Cajun

I watched the 66 final on TV with my dad - I can't recall anything about it until I have a very vivid memory of, as Germany prepared to take a free kick in a dangerous position in the final seconds of normal time, my dad saying "They won't score now son." ..... I can then remember him insisting the ...

Cajun

My father-in-law's older brother was one of the many American troops who died on Omaha Beach. Visited once on Memorial Day, quite an emotional experience. My dad was on a Navy destroyer involved in the operation to blockade the Channel from any German subs / ships during the landings. Heroes all.

Cajun

Used to post most days on the old Claret+Blue Discussion board - kinda weird to open that up and see postings from 2001 before I moved over here.

Cajun

Started sliding off a wet rock doing a mountain rescue course in Snowdonia - Had that split-second thought of "I'm going" -- not sure how I found a saving toe hold.

Ay up, we're practically neighbors.

Cajun

I can imagine the TV comment from bitter plonker Chris Sutton now - "Can you imagine how disappointed Wenger must be that his final home game in charge of Arsenal will be against Burnley."

Cajun

Well done on completing your marathon - great feeling to do it isn't it? That 4-hour barrier you mention can be a frustrating goal - finally cracking that was just sheer elation for me. Oh, and the first thing any marathon runner should pack for the run is Vaseline, then use it liberally

Cajun

Just watched the Newcastle vs Arsenal game live on TV here, with Lee Dixon summarizing and really slating Arsenal's attitude and performance, while firmly pointing out and praising the magnitude of our achievement in being just 2 pts behind Arsenal at this stage.

Cajun

The 3 seasons of 72-73, 73-74, and 74-75 were just superb. A team of flair and ingenuity and being then in my mid-teens they were my absolute heroes. As Rowls says, big difference in the finances now, the Big 6 of that time in the 70s (Utd, Spurs, Arsenal, Lpool, Everton, Leeds) were not as massivel...

Cajun

I am visualizing that on Thursday we will be awarded a stoppage-time time penalty that Vokes, who will have come on as a sub with 15 mins to go, will take and slot in for yet another 2-1 win.

Cajun

Answering questions about Europe - yes I think Sean is enjoying that and certainly would have taken it at the start of the season

Cajun

High five, wouldn't surprise me if we made it a 6-pack on Thursday. We deserve to be where we are, we have found ways to win points against some of the best players and best coaches/managers in the world. A great feeling.

Cajun

From a good stream, without sound - Pope 9 - outstanding save from Mahrez header, great command of his area, very safe handling. Lowton 8 - Love his enthusiasm and a great attacking threat too. Had his work cut out with Leicester doing a lot of attacking down his side. Tarks 8 - Steady Long 8 - Stea...

Cajun

A real calmness about him. Excellent all round game. Very assured at taking out crosses. Very confident in him.

Cajun

Amazing atmosphere at the Turf for the 3-0 win. Seem to recall we had the ball in the net as the full-time whistle blew and there was some discussion over whether we had 4 or not. First pic in the Mail article is Blacklaw being thrown down the steps of the below-ground changing rooms by Napoli subs ...

Cajun

Done.

Cajun

I was happy that we signed him, I think he did well for us and scored some crucial goals, had to content with a difficult period with his ban, don't think he is a top-flight-level player, hope he finds somewhere he can play on a regular basis but that is likely to be a division down.

Cajun

I like the expression "Muck and nettles" - have this mental image of Sean making the players crawl through them during a Dyche pre-season.
Sure, Watford did open us up a time or two but we dug in and did what we do - and came home with another 3 points.
