40 will be the absolute minimum requirement this season,and........if we don't pick up 3 tomorrow, the decent first half could go south in an awful hurry. One has to think Norwich are toast, the other two occupants are a crap shoot.

A nice dinner with a friend, a few glasses of wine while watching a couple of movies. Definitely be in the sack before midnight, Burnley game is an early start this side of the pond, 7:30 our time!

Escaped Vancouvers cold for a bit of sun. Cold in Vancouver? Ya right, you 'left coasters' don't know what cold is :D It's currently +6 here in Southern Ontario, quite balmy for this time of year. I have no clue how those in 'Winterpeg' (Winnipeg to the uninitiated) handle minus a zillion Celsius. ...

Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy New Year from Southern Ontario.

Minus 7 Celsius at the moment, not a cloud in the sky, lovely morning

I really don’t understand some posters on this board……………what do the ‘naysayers’ want? Do they really expect us to outplay teams with far more resources than us? I was around to see Jimmy Mac, Adamson, Angus, Elder, Lochhead et al and, I for one, never expected to see Burnley back in the PL! We shou...

I’ve ordered a couple of items from club shop in the last couple years, never had an issue, always arrived in good condition at my door within a week.

Ken Burns has been producing top quality documentaries for what seems like forever, every subject matter one could imagine from Civil War, WW2, Prohibition, Vietnam War, Jazz and his latest… Country Music.

Only watched the second half but it was obvious Southgate changed his defensive strategy possibly to protect Pope from having to play out from the back. From what I saw there was nary a back pass to Pope. Popey is a far better shot stopper than Pickford, but Pickford is head and shoulder s above Pop...

The way Westwood delivers them corners it must be horrific for a goalie. Westwood has got those corners down to fine art, must be nightmare to defend. ‘Bashley’ also has it down pat, how he dances around to distract the goalie. The opposition know it’s coming, more power to Dyche and his crew in ma...

Scandalous that it’s needed in a country like ours but fantastic to see so many people willing to help.

I have to agree with you guys about ‘Mrs Browns Boys’, truly pitiful! ‘Last of the Summer Wine’ isn’t too far behind. As for ‘Seinfeld’ and ‘Fraser’, both were brilliant, both are regularly available for viewing on a couple of our, what seems like zillion, cable channels. ‘MASH’ was also a classic, ...

The Buffalo Bills are my team. I’ve been to a few Bills games over the years, not for quite a number of years though.

Marijuana was legalised in Canada last year, October I think. I don’t partake, but I guess one reason for legalisation was to get a ‘piece of the pie’ in the form of taxation. Another reason could be trying to reduce the black market.

Didn’t Dyche refer to DD as ‘Drinky’? If so, he clearly had some sort of insight into the players ‘tendencies’. And, given our alleged club spirit ‘all for one, one for all’, what will his team mates think of DD?

As others have mentioned, I’m surprised McNeils’ in the squad, never mind starting. The other surprise is Gibson has been named captain for the night, one would think Bardsley or maybe Long would wear the armband.

Nice try, however I’m talking about Red Stripe draught from the poolside bar. Or when I’m home, from a bottle. I NEVER drink beer from a tin……yuck!

I don’t know if Red Stripe has been mentioned as a favourite lager. I’ve spent quite a bit of time In Jamaica over the years and found Red Stripe goes rather well with sitting by a pool listening to reggae.

For years Canadian footy fans were able to watch PL footy on our cable sports channels, TSN and Sporstnet. Apparently the contract expired and DAZN took over PL footy in Canada.

Up to now most expect Pope will start in goal, Heaton a distant second, no mention of Hart. In one article I read, Dyche has hinted he’s decided who will start in goal. Considering Hart has most minutes in pre season games, and Dyche has been ‘bigging’ Hart up, the cats would firmly be among the pig...

Rory’s poor performance shouldn’t come as a shock to anyone. Over the last 5 seasons or so he’s rarely performed well when expectations are high.
