In most other forms of employment Ben Sheppard would probably be done for sexual harrasment. He certainly has a 'hands on' manner, generally with the fitter female contestants

For all the talk of being poor yesterday, and against Fulham, sometimes you have to hold up your hand and admit they were better than us. Great comment yesterday from Craig Bellamy who I have been surprised by with his excellent common sense and understanding of the game. Something along the lines o...

Because we wouldn't have enough of the ball to batter a piece of fish let alone a Premier League defence. Our strength for the past 5 seasons has been a solid base and framework with little real creativity. Sadly, the framework is falling apart now. Don't panic though, Lionel Defour and Cristiano Br...

It is easy to be dismissive and jealous of the transformation of a Club bankrolled by a benefactor with seemingly unlimited wealth and the will to use it. The project at Manchester City goes way beyond anything else seen before, possibly anywhere. Is it a plaything? I don't think it is, so what is t...

I remember as recent as the late 90's being in Spain on holiday and searching for a papershop so I could check our result. Similarly when I was abroad in the Army, tuning my little multi band pocket radio into the World Service. The anticipation has gone now due to progress in technology. We didn't ...

Wolves have their tails up and are playing with a confidence that is the polar opposite of us at the moment. Sky pundits will revel in our misery if we continue to play as we have in every game bar our last EUFA foray.

3-1 Wolves

I must admit to being confused as Hart, Young and Gabby A don't appear in either of the squads????

Only saw the bit where they were interviewing Paul Whitehouse and Nick was sat on his own a bit further along the couch. He looked awkward, a bit out of place and is conscious of his teeth! Good to hear he came across well when interviewed. He is a top keeper and deserves a bit of limelight. Faux ce...

I watched an episode last week and found it irresistable so crammed every episode and a special into the past few days.

Superbly written by Ben Elton and some really good character roles

Anyone else a fan?

We have built our success on a model that works for us. We aren't an attractive proposition for a lot of home nation players because the squad have to work hard for their corn, some of the overseas contingent in the Premier League would last 5 minutes at Gawthorpe. Yes we can improve but ultimately ...

New Zealand v Argentina and never tire of watching the Haka, subtle little variations now every time they perform it. It is supposed to be a friendly greeting, I wouldn't have liked to have been around when they were feeling a little bit peeved

JohnMac

I thought he turned down a new contract here when offered. He is one of those marmite type players and wasn't ever going to endear himself to some because he cross and shoot with some skill but couldn't run around like George Boyd

The weakness today was our lack of pace but we aren't the first side in history that has been bullied by Lakaku. Luke Shaw is probably as quick as any player in our side., Lennon apart.

Man Utd fans brought with them a repertoire of their 20 best songs. Our best effort was a rendition of 'Come on Burnley' followed by our second favourite song, 'Come on Burnley'.

JohnMac

Bardsley is more than adequate as a full back but he's never going to 'bomb on' and fire crosses into the box especially when the speed merchant in front of him is incapable of doing it. We need a bit of fire and brimstone in the side as the majority of our players are a bit too 'goody two shoes' an...

Notice who was the last player to try and stop the goalscorer, ran all the way back after overhitting his cross.

Good energy but ultimately Rangers are being outplayed across the park.

David (I won't give you his surname). He commutes by train from the East Midlands home and away. Proper Burnley fella though!

0-3 unfortunately.

We are struggling in front of goal and unlike Chelsea, this lot won't be having a dressing room revolt over their loathing of Jose the Narcissist

It cant be denied that Wells was an odd signing and, with the benefit of Hindsight, Walters was a poor one. So to say £8m has been wasted is not unfair. I just wonder how much more we would have wasted if the cheque book was in the hands of the spendthrift posters on this board At least £65m to pri...

I'm excited for this, I was doom and gloom about this tie after the pretty horrible performance I thought we put in last week, I've woke up this morning with a tingle of optimism, 3-0 Burnley. Good, nice to hear you are not all doom and gloom. I know you are as passionate as most and the sun is for...

Thank **** we didn't sign Fernando Torres or Andriy Shevchenko eh.

We would have had to sell the town to make back those sort of losses.

Dead ball striker can be Phil Bardsley aka Hotshot Hamish.

Corner shop mentality.thats Burnley FC .waste 5 million on wells but won't stump up 1 million extra on jay . I didn't noticed any other club clamouring to prise Jay Rod away from West Brom. That in itself should indicate that there was probably too much sentiment involved. Would I like to have seen...

It'll be another money pit in the making, packed on Matchday and devoid of life inbetween.

There are so many existing premises already in good order and boarded up. The Mix, Red Lion etc.

Perhaps it is the regime, set up, area, style of play?

Won't be anything to do with the money, the Premier League is the Holy Grail. Sam Clucas will vouch for that, oh, hang on a minute!

Not surprised Arfield had a dig when he was slagged off nearly every time he played by more than a few in the crowd. Another of our signings not matching the standard required of the fantasy football generation. Marney was obviously not going to measure up to the rigours of Premier League football g...

We don't play with wingers, they are wide midfield with defensive duties first and foremost.
