I met her, I think, in 1989, when she signed me up for the Burnley Booster Club (or whatever it was called). Logistics didn't work out, but she was extremely nice, as was Frank Casper. She still has family over here on this side of the pond, in Barrie, Ontario.

It depends. Does he have a smile on his face? Then he's definitely on "the other team".

"The Grand Slam of Curling"!!! Now you're talking. Must watch TV in Canada!!!

Are they bringing back the Gorm? He was my favourite. Every other creature in the universe spoke perfect English, except for the Gorm. He just kind of slithered. How did one Gorm speak to another Gorm?

Just as we had a, to say the least, novel approach to economics during the Ronald Reagan era (Reaganomics), whose basic idea was that by eliminating taxes on the wealthy, that there would be unlimited growth in the economy. Uhh. Didn't work out so well. Bush Sr. had a similar idea. He, too, had to a...

For the foreseeable future, cash will be king.

The economy is about to enter a retractionary period. The banks know this and are being very cautious.

Billericay a club on the up. Expect them to be in the league soon. Southend have been treading water for a long time.

Just more proof that Dyche is a top man and that we need to keep him as long as possible.

"In Like Flint". A movie starring James Coburn that parodied those awful James Bond movies.

Have always loved the game and the passion of the supporters. Remember watching Millwall on the CBC on a tape flown across the Atlantic and shown on the Sunday. I think the final score was 6-2 for the home side at The Den. I was 4. With the advent of the original NASL, I watched the Toronto Metros r...

You sure he didn't get us mixed up with Barnsley?

Probably the biggest homer ref in football. We're in like Flint. (And that's not Flint, Michigan.)

Did you know that most posters on "Up the Clarets" have way too much spare time on their hands?

If a kick hits the uprights and bounces back into the field of play, it's automatically blown dead. It's not a referee's decision.

Barnet-Brentford. Bees v. Bees. Stadium guaranteed to have a real buzz.

At least Accy Stanley got another home game. Good on 'em.

Just happy for Oldham. Historic club with still a lot of true passionate fans behind them. Was Paul Scholes in the crowd today?

Jackson's a rookie, he'll learn. He has to develop a clock in his head and learn to throw the ball away if nobody's open. Baltimore needs to upgrade their offensive line in order to improve their running attack and balance their offense.

Interesting that Pink Floyd didn't become completely commercially successful until they dropped Barrett. They DID have the good taste to write a song about him after he was gone, "Shine On You Crazy Diamond". The fact that Syd was in a padded room somewhere and never heard it had little to do with t...

FF is not an artist. He is an "artiste".

We definitely weren't aggressive enough. Defour made so many back passes that I was beginning to mistake him for David Jones.

And give Barnsley some credit. Pinnock (is that the right spelling) and Lindsay didn't put a foot wrong all day until the penalty, and their entire club fought a very good rear guard action, looking for a replay, all day long.

What exactly is "excessive" use of psychedelic drugs?

What position does he play?

She already has three things going for her. She was born a Claret supporter, Tony Mowbray puts her to sleep, and she obviously has exceptional parents. Not a bad start to life.

Toronto Wolfpack almost made it to the Prem but London Broncos beat them in the last game, in Toronto. Wolfpack play on a synthetic surface, so not sure how that would have gone over.

Back from the penalty box. Apologies to anybody who might have taken offence to my previous comments. I knew that my dark Danish sense of humour would get me in trouble eventually. Had to come back to see more pictures of Cricketfields' daughter. What a cutie! Lucky man. Obviously doesn't take after...

How lovely, Cricketfields. But where are the crowds? (She really is a charmer.)

Dyche is dyslexic? Dyslexia lures?

OMG. Has it come to this? I expect bodies to be found floating in the canal in the morning.

Another good idea: don't play a club that just shipped 6 goals at home. They had the riot act read to them, and it seemed to work. For the most part we looked like a bunch of plough horses after Venky's were done with them.

ontario claret

When did we last put 6 past anybody? Wasn't it Hereford? Oh! Wait! It was the other way around. And they went broke afterwards. So, it was good news? Anyways, I agree with Frank (I usually do). 2-0 to the good guys, with the magnificent Claret support leading the way. UTC.

Happy birthday, Frank, from a fellow Capricorn. Always enjoy your posts and sense of humour.

Besides, I quite liked his politics. He sought to bring people together. The world needs more of his type.

To err is human, to forgive divine. On the eve of His birth, remember that Jesus said to let those without sin to cast the first stone. And we are all DEFINITELY sinners.

Both Wood and Hendrick lack passion. For a club that survives in the top flight solely on passion, this is not a good thing. They both lack a second gear,and the ability to get stuck in. I'm convinced that Hendrick was signed to an extension just so that he can be transferred in the upcoming window.

You forgot my birthday, January 5th.

We are Burnley, and that's all that matters. If you can't support Sean Dyche, then go find another club.

Being as dull as dishwater is a very Danish trait. Everything runs on time, there's almost never any serious disturbances, and because they use a proportional representation system, the real drama is reduced to which side the Radical Liberals will line up with in their parliament. "Hyggelig" is the ...

That's OK. My grandmother was born near Hjorring, which made her an old "Hjorr", I guess. My cousin's mother came from Asaa, which is pronounced like part of your nether regions. And then there's Aarhus, which makes it sound like you're running a brothel. Lots of fun with Danish words.

I'm ready to renounce my heritage. Eriksen isn't a real Dane, anyhow. He's from Kobenhavn.

I still think Schindler is their top player. He's an absolute rock.

He always was a scoundrel, so what's the surprise?

Thought it was a game that called out for Defour. With his close control on an awful day, and with the general amount of ball we were winning, he was the one player who could have set up Barnes and Wood properly, and we all know how much setting up Wood needs. Hope he comes back from injury soon, bu...

Woke up to a few centimitres of snow this morning, but nothing short of a full-scale blizzard stops the true Canadian. So looking forward to today's game. Get into 'em you Clarets!!!!! UTC.

All I know is that this thread equates with the one on String Theory (or was that a figment of my imagination, too?) Meanwhile, I plan on travelling in one of the two alternative time dimensions that String Theory postulates this weekend, but only if my beloved Clarets win.
