I have a Ninja Dual Zone and do this using a foil tray in the drawer. 4 Crumpets spread with garlic butter, tear apart and sprinkle on your cheese of choice (mozzarella and cheddar for me). Season with black pepper then bake at 170° for 8 minutes. I have developed this now to add crispy bacon and sl...

Tbf neither of them are examples of the model we are following Maybe not directly but you have to find a starting point and we are doing that now. Our recruitment is definitely better now the net has widened beyond the UK and Ireland. Not all will be a success but I believe we have some real talent...

Not a dig but has any club been successful doing that? I genuinely can’t think of one

I think Brentford and Brighton make a good fist of it as a modern example.

I think it's the radical change we are undergoing that has fans having polar opposite thoughts.

JohnMac

It's only gone wrong if the Board think that's the case. Maybe they see the potential of the young crop of players as a better long term solution than having ageing experience with no resale value. Also older player 'demand' more money than young potential and not all are willing to go the extra yar...

JohnMac

I'll say it again, not corruption but incompetence combined with too many restrictions and confusing interpretations of the laws of the game.

VAR has reduced the number of goals whilst failing to address cheating and poor decision making.

Smith has come alive now

Exactly the type of player to inject experience and steel into the side. Not sure we would be near the top of his picks unfortunately.

Have we even had a single offer? No we haven’t.

Wow, just wow for being part of the inner sanctum of the Club with knowledge of our player dealings!

JohnMac

He plays for us and gives 100% every game plus more.

Of course that means nothing as he isn't deemed good enough for the Premier League by the Oracles of UTC despite being linked with other far better Premier League Clubs during his time here

JohnMac

Nobody is falling over to sign him. He has talent but seems to put more effort into silly childish celebrations and the penny hasn't dropped for him.

JohnMac

Every Manager says how players need time to adapt to the pace and power of the Premier League, often for those already with age and experience abroad. Obviously this does not apply to Burnley signings, they should hit the ground running and no excuses! Maybe we should have a real clearout and get so...

It may have been passed but wether the Industry decides to pursue it is a different matter.

Man Utd are a shambles

Trafford 7 - Kept a clean sheet but his decision making and distribution is worrying at times. Vitinho 7 - Not easy against a physically strong and pacey Fulham side but he dug in well. O'Shea 8** - Another really good performance from Dara gets him my MOM, needs to repeat the same! Beyer 6 - Not co...

Fantastic to see him coming of age today. My heart misses a beat everytime we concede a corner but his shot stopping today was beyond reproach.

JohnMac

Ramsey was injured when we signed him and with him wearing a brace, maybe this is a bigger problem than first considered.

Has he been rushed into playing I wonder? Sports science should prevent this but it sure looks a bit iffy him getting injured like he has so far.

JohnMac

James Trafford has come of age today, simply magnificent!

Until last evening they hadn't won but outplayed a decent Brentford side.

What a difference 3 days make :( Trafford 5 - Made a routine save but his distribution was back to its worst Vitinho 5 - Made a few good tackles but gave the ball away too often O Shea 4 - A big mistake again Ekdal 6 - His lack of pace is frightening but he is savvy enough Taylor 6 - Turning back an...

A great day topped off with gimmer getting a hatrick of posts

JohnMac

Best performance by far today, winning all his aerial battles and undeservedly booked because of the cheating McBurnie fooling the Referee by rolling around.

He was sublime today.

Some angry Sheffield United fans mixing into the Burnley fans next to the coaches looking for fights. Must have been a long day for them.

ClaretsPadiham What mess have we put ourselves in exactly? Every Club already in the PL has more experience than us and there aren't any we should expect to be better than.

Google weather also shows a 50% chance of snow until 10am and then 3pm onwards continuing throughout the day/evening.

I'll prepare for that one!

It’s that simple this game is massive. With Luton winning today we are 6 points from safety.

The usual ill thought out opening statement - 6 points puts us on 10 points. Hardly what I would consider 'Safety'.

With 75 points available we need around 33 to be in with a shout of Safety

House of games is quite good, but I suspect I'll get bored of it soon like I do with all the others. Other than that, anything with pace about it.
