Re: European football....worth the risk
I still talk about the Napoli and Eintracht European games. As for another Euro campaign 50 years on, it would be another step up on our amazing recent achievements, and could only raise the profile of the club. Could it stretch our squad and resources - it might. Could it inspire fans and players a...

Re: Barnes goal
I thought his all round game was very good today, some nice hold up play and layoffs and seems more aware of those around him than he used to -- and I love that he is never afraid to have a pop at goal. That shot today he really hit superbly and a fine diagonal run and set up from Wood.

Re: REPORT: Burnley beat Everton at the double
Sad to read about ClaretCanada Steve in the footnote. Hope the lads can give him a few more wins to add to this dedication.
Agree that this was a thoroughly good team performance that leaves me confident we can pile up a good haul of points in the remaining games.
