Wow, very disappointing and he's very lucky no one was hurt if he had spent 4 hours on the lash.

Wonder if anyone tried to stop him driving home after getting off the coach?

Manchester City Centre 15 May 2008 - the morning after the UEFA Cup Final. Litter left by Rangers fans.

Thankfully your photos don't capture the stench of urine that pervaded the city that day Mike!

Hope we're up for this today, but I have my doubts now we're safe, good to see Dunne, Nartey and Richardson on the bench, though whether they'll get any minutes is questionable. Yes, our intensity understandably tends to drop after we've achieved whatever our objective for the season is. Plus this ...

Great viewing. I never get tired of watching that superbly worked equaliser against Spurs at Wembley.

The reaction in the away was euphoric

The 'Super Box' looks very much like the ones they have at Man City.

Does anyone know how the hospitality experience is different at other clubs? Only been on a box at the Turf a couple of times and it seemed pleasant enough although everything looked a bit outdated

JohnDearyMe

He actually played a lot more than you thought Rowls. Came on for Lineker in the 83rd minute of the Ireland game, replaced Waddle in the 58th minute against Holland, and he actually started the Egypt encounter before Peter Beardsley replaced him after 84 minutes. In the round of 16 he was a 74th mi...

It can't just be us that are concerned at being 0-3 up at half time,can It? Must admit to having one eye on the clock for the first 20 minutes. or so in the 2nd half myself.

I only relaxed when the fourth went in...

Shame about Brady. I know he's hardly set the world alight this season but we do lack creative options on the bench

JohnDearyMe

Very impressive for Accrington to still be in with a shout for the playoffs at this point (albeit a slim one)

An amazing delivery

John Francis was absolutely rapid wasn't he? Showed some explosive pace in this game

JohnDearyMe

He certainly doesn't like to use them unless taking Defour or Vydra off. He must have done an inspired substitute at some time in his Burnley career? Remember us beating Everton 2-1 at home back in 2018 coming back from 1 goal down. Pretty sure that involved bringing on Wood who scored one of the g...

Interesting read. 10,000 submissions via that app, wonder if any were decent and followed up?

JohnDearyMe

I’m not sure where people are seeing above average ratings for McNeil in that game. Pieters 8, Wood and Vydra at 7 but the rest on fours and fives for me today... and I think I’m being generous. Apart from a great bit of defensive work in the second half when Southampton broke forward at pace i tho...

Good to read Taylor and Cork could potentially be back in the matchday squad

Was it George Boyd who played the ball for him at Palace?

What a great way to seal our Premier League status that was. Cracking away day despite the trek to the ground

JohnDearyMe

I never realised we reached the League Cup semi final in 60/61. Who knocked us out? And were they two legged semi finals back then?

Kevin McDonald was just interviewed on the Today programme on Radio 4 about his upcoming transplant. Spoke very articulately about it all. Sounds like his brother will be donating one of his kidneys to him.

I may be wrong but I think the Easter matches, often against the same team used to be Friday and Monday.

Yes, that's what i normally associate with Easter football. Must admit that the Easter Sunday game in 2015 passed me by

Wonder if Dyche is more or less likely to leave this summer than he was last year?

John Angus 1 cap - described by England manager Walter Winterbottom as the finest ever debut. Never played again. Ray Pointer 3 caps - scored in last one to take us to 1962 World Cup Finals. Never played again. In 1966 we finished 3rd in the league but didn’t have one single player in the World Cup...

JohnDearyMe

When it was announced he was leaving I actually wrote to him c/o the club, (admittedly a weird thing for a grown adult to do, but...) I assume he probably never got the letter, but I wanted to say thanks for the great memories and for everything he'd done and that I didn't agree with the decision a...

Is the commentator the same chap who did the Plymouth play off away game a few years later?

JohnDearyMe

Good to see such an arrangement. Should be a good game at Morecambe, they're both having great seasons. Surprised to see Morecambe doing so well

I remember watching this game from the BL stand on the giant screen because Torquay were only giving us a few hundred away tickets.

From memory wasn't the screen bathed in sunlight making it hard to see? (Maybe a blessing!)

JohnDearyMe

Must admit that i was worried when i saw that Iceland have 3 games in a week. Hopefully JBG won't play in them all (saw that he came on after 40 mins v Germany).

JohnDearyMe

Did he have any memorable appearances against Burnley?

JohnDearyMe

Interesting that PFA members don't vote on who their leader is like many other unions do.

JohnDearyMe

Funnily enough Fulham also have 6 points to show from their trips to Merseyside this season, but the difference is we are virtually safe now, whereas they are still well and truly in the dogfight. I bet you would have got great odds for us and Fulham getting 6 points each on Merseyside this season

JohnDearyMe

Vydra brings the best out of all out attacking players. His awareness and speed of thought to lay it off to others helps the flow of our football no end. There was a great example where a ball was threaded in to Vydra as he was moving in to the area and he did a brilliant back heal out of nowhere t...

JohnDearyMe

0-3 i fear we won't be able to sustain the energy levels that we showed on Wednesday

JohnDearyMe

I saw Newcastle had two of their better players go off injured last night. Can we get through 3 matches within a week without picking up any more? That's one of my main worries

4-0 to Spurs

Point hard won we move up to 29
These are the games I am glad I didnt travel over 500miles round trip and stay overnight at the Rosehill to watch
Thankfully WBA are going down
The wind didn't help and our crap passing nearly threw away the one point
But 9 clean sheets for Nick

Just 28 sadly

I thought I’d be the first to get a silly post in but actually this possibly isn’t that silly. He has to be held responsible for these utter pathetic performances. Yet another game with no shots on target. Pathetic football. 1 change on the 85th minute. Yet again poor use of his bench. How much lon...

That's an incredible stat when you consider the quality of some of the sides they've brought to Burnley over the decades.

And yes for those wondering that is our longest unbeaten streak against any opponent in our history at TM.

Good stat. I wonder who now has the second longest winless run?

JohnDearyMe

We could really do with an international break

JohnDearyMe

The whole team looked a bit tired and we picked up another injury. Makes the decision to rest players in the cup last week look a bit more sensible.

Long 7
Tarks 8
Jbg 5

Brady 3

I take it the Euros are going to be played behind closed doors then?

I also wonder if they'll need to be moved to one country rather than having teams flying back and forth across Europe for large parts of it.
