Think he's a lot overpriced. If he's not good enough to get into a struggling Leicester side, then it says it all to my thinking.

He was certainly a link to my early youth with such programmes as Easybeat, Saturday Morning Club and Thank your lucky Stars. It's difficult for the youth of today to understand that back in the early '60's there was very little pop music on the radio. Plus it was mainly listened to on medium wave s...

I think Hull have played some good football this season at at times been a little unlucky. As for Robertson I can see him leaving but it won't be to us.

By the look on Deano's face after the injury you got the feeling it was bad. You've come back from it before Deano and here's hoping that you make a quick recovery and come back stronger. We need you.

Fingers crossed. This guys a lot better option than Brady. However I remain sceptical until he's holding the Claret shirt in front of the James Hargreaves Stand.

I think they look fantastic and highlight our illustrious history for all the world to see. Honoured to have Jimmy Adamson at the side of my entrance turnstile.

The highly inflated fee, reportedly £12m paid by Fulham for this guy all but scuppered our chances of signing Troy Deeney. From there, getting another big money move to Villa is to my mind unbelievable and just shows how fickle the transfer market is. I would be staggered if we were interested in hi...

Much as I admire Wenger, yesterdays post match interview was IMO damage limitation. Doubt we'd have heard from him had we held out for a draw.

I'll stick my neck out here, but I can't see it happening.

I've been one of Marney's biggest supporters, especially when he was taking a lot of stick from posters a couple of years ago on CM. I also think his injury against WBA in the PL last time out was a pivotal moment in our demise. Saying that, I don't think Marney's been at the top of his game for a w...

I felt it was a harsh red. That said we should have taken advantage of our good fortune.

Happy Birthday to us. A seamless transition, hardly seems like 12 months. Many thanks as always to CT and everyone working to make this the best football forum.

Brian Miller a true legend and gentleman. Will always be remembered. Thanks for posting Youtube clip NottsClaret. Makes us realise how far we have come in last 30 years.

ashtonlongsider

I can't see Burnley putting an offer in unless they've been encouraged. Still raise an eyebrow if it came to anything. That said, Snodgrass would certainly be my preference over Brady.

Thought it was an excellent gate all things considered and atmosphere was very good. I was expecting around the 8k mark to be honest.

Pope 7-Looks more than a good understudy to TH. Darikwa 6-Good in parts and good cross for Voksey's goal but his touch lets him down at times. Keane 8- Class as ever Tarkowski 9- MOM and fitted in to the system seamlessly. Outstanding. Flanagan 6-At times looked a little rusty but needs game time. B...

Difficult to add to all the glossy compliments already stated. I think Tarks made statement last night and has given SD a dilemma.

Heaton 8-Double save at the end saved us 2 points. Lowton 8-Looking better with every game Keane 8-Another commanding performance Mee 8-Born defender, thought he was excellent Ward 7-Steady as ever Boyd 8-Gives absolutely everything. Hendrick 8-Another whose improving with every game. Marney 6-Not a...

Thought he thoroughly deserved the reception, especially given the hard time he's had coming back from such a serious injury. The town should be rightly proud of producing top class sportsmen like Jay and Jimmy.

ashtonlongsider

Would he improve us? Personally I'm not so sure from what I've seen. Good luck Palace.

ashtonlongsider

Felt we looked a lot more stable once he came on. If ever a player was made for a club it's got to be Joey. Welcome Home.

ashtonlongsider

I think the lad oozes class and is destined for a top club.

ashtonlongsider

Another less than successful loan and I'd guess it's not come cheap. Not Bamford's fault, he's hardly been given a chance. I personally think this lad will be a good player given a run of games. May be a lesson for young players signing for big clubs as in a lot of instances their going to find it t...

It wouldn't bother me if we didn't sign anyone in this window. We certainly aren't desperate like I'd expected. Anyone coming in who can potentially improve the squad will want wages well outside our present structure and that could cause unrest. Also some of the prices being banded about are highly...

Ha Ha Sorry Tom. Made me chuckle. Please accept my apologies for poor grammar. In my defence I'd only just got up and hadn't engaged brain before I posted.

I'm not particularly concerned by the increase in flow of players in lure of the Renminbi or Yuan. Give it 12 months and I'll guess a lot will be coming back with 'their tales between their legs'. I would say it's a good proposition for someone in the twilight of their career, but someone in their p...

Excellent news and a sensible decision.

Wow that's a shock. Used to enjoy his commentary and comments on R5 RIP Graham.

I personally would prefer us to sign Charlie Taylor from Leeds.

Johnny Walker my favourite DJ of all time along with the late Alan Freeman and Roger Scott. Incidentally an excellent tune.

I would hope ST prices will remain frozen again for the 17/18 season. PR and Goodwill come to mind.

I attended the Colchester game but was fortunate enough to miss the Hereford match for some reason. It was bleak, very bleak and it did get a whole lot worse.

As good as Rooney is he's never IMO a World Class player and Bobby Charlton was.

ashtonlongsider

I think in this day and age, status and image are all important. So being in the EPL is the be all and end all. In 2013 Wigan Athletic won the FA Cup and got relegated the same season. A few Latics fans who I know said the'd take it, as the'd come straight back and it gets them on the honours board....

If any player depicted the rise and fall of Burnley its surely Leighton James. He played for us over 3 spells ranging from a golden period in the early to mid seventies up until our darkest days in the mid eighties. I would certainly list him as a true legend and also one of our greatest ever players.

ashtonlongsider

That the PL is a lot better than in 14/15 season. As for 'us', I worry. The phrase Deja Vu comes to mind. Giving the ball away too easily, conceding goals at vital times (panic), getting turned over far too easily, especially away from home, and a general lack of quality. A glimmer of hope at the we...

72/73 for me. Although promotion had already been guaranteed, the occasion and celebration at Preston was as good as it gets and if I could 'bottle' one football moment that would probably be it.

ashtonlongsider

I think we tend to 'big' our own festivals and tournaments up a little bit too much. Think Glastonbury is renowned the world over but I'm sure there must be festivals bigger or on a similar level. Like the PL, don't think there will be too many Spanish folk thing EPL is bigger that La Liga. At the e...

Ben loves defending. Brilliant reading of the game.

Congratulations to all who put this site together in such a short period of time. Initial impressions are very favourable. May it be as successful as CM has been.
