His decision to play Alexander at CM when we were crying out for a RB was baffling at the time, but it later showed that he knew what he was doing. Sadly for him, Duff's ACL injury meant it wasn't until the Coyle days that Grezza could flourish in that role. Someone above said Coyle signed utter cra...

I think Goliath is over egging it. Yes it did bring great joy but the only Burnley game I've ever left at half time was in that season under Coyle. We did play with an exciting freedom and the Wembley trip was just brilliant. Once the momentum was there you felt that there was no stopping us. But w...

330am and still wide awake, been in bed since 11pm and still no sign of sleep. Only another 2 and a half hours until time to get up though :roll: I really struggle with waking up during the night, then stressing about getting back to sleep. One thing that really helps is a dose of night nurse befor...

Bastards 2-2 .

Hook it to my veins!

Fretters

Punching the ball into the home fans end and glaring at them is much more than just 'wasting time'. We need more players getting in peoples' faces, there was a lot more of it last year. Roberts upped it when he came on. Exactly and this is a large part of the point I'm making. We don't have enough ...

So he punches the ball into the crowd when we are 2-1 down wasting time .
Winks at someone as though to say “I got this” but doesn’t save it , brilliant

I'm obviously talking about his confidence but it's gone over your head. Never mind.

Fretters

Just seen MOTD and spotted a couple of bits from JT which I loved - just after a save in the second half, the rebound is curled wide. After his sprawling dive, he gets up and randomly punches the ball into the crowd. Then, before the penalty, he winks at somebody, as though to say 'I got this'. I th...

We've scored after falling behind. Blimey, that's a first this season isn't it?

We equalised at Arsenal. Hopefully we don't lose 3-1 today!

Yes, you're right on that. I've got myself muddled up.

First time I saw Branchie and SD was away at Brizzle Rovers. Also the last time I ever got in at kids prices.

4-3, what a game!

The memory fades but I think it's Tom Cowan coming in next, followed by a few midfield faces.

Thank goodness Barry arrived and gave Stan the funds to work properly.

I think it was Micky Mellon next,.didn't Cowan come in with Paul Cook around March time after the City 0-6 debacle?

Exciting times.

What a thrill it was to have SD back at the club.

I remember re-loading teletext a few times to keep seeing the headline!

Fretters

Well, it made us laugh. Why did the first lass keep putting it in the same slot when it was constantly ending up in the 'get another go' segment? It got ridiculous near the end when only about a third (at a guess) of the segments were available and weren't 'get another go'. I thought we'd be there a...

Luton were seconds away from beating them at home recently. As good as they are in forward areas, they're certainly not unbeatable. They will press us high, and in numbers so the longer ball down the sides where we've got some space may hurt them...here's hoping.. They're without their first and se...

Used to love going to Stoke, as we never seemed to lose. Pulled a game back to 2-2 from being 2-0 down, Payton with a pen if I remember. The odious Graham Kavanagh whispering into Payton’s ear beforehand, and he duly slammed it home! Great game. Payts got them both, the first being from around 20 y...

I opened this message expecting to see STOKE mentioned in the replies… straight away.

Both Pickering and West scored worldies in the windy city.

And another future Burnley right back did too - Matt Lowton.

Fretters

Good signing and what a goal he scored for us at Stoke. I was disappointed and surprised when we didn't keep him on.

Fretters

I haven't bought anything since City when I paid for San Miguel only to be sold the pump wasn't working and they can't do refunds, so I would have to choose stuff worth £6, or whatever it was.

It's so amateur.

As long as it's off the road for that day and not driven, I don't think there's anything for you to worry about?

I think technically it needs to be declared SORN, but I would risk just keeping it on the drive for that day.

Really? Where is your evidence backing this up? It’s a pretty broad sweeping comment…

It's nonsense. I run a business and check the history of everyone I employ and I'm sure most other business owners do too. It can be too expensive to employ a bad egg.

That's the magic of the FA Cup third round - being able to watch Premier League teams play each other......

Was it Lacazette for Arsenal who let out an almighty scream leaving people fearing for his career only for him to recover and be able to play on within a couple of minutes

If I were him I'd have still come off and hid away for 9 months

Fretters

No, but we'll get that many players feeling something during the first half but staying on. Game after game, you see players at all clubs playing on before being forced off. Ben Mee was just the same two seasons ago with what proved to be a break. Fair point. I'm really just referring to those who ...

So you still don't understand? If we followed your path, we'd probably be making all our changes by half time.

We don't get five players forced off the pitch with knee injuries during every first half.

It's just my view, Tony. You clearly don't agree and that's fine.

Sam Vokes played on with his in 2014, Lukas Jutkiewicz with his in 2015 as did Dean Marney with his first one. Back in 1974, Frank Casper played in the FA Cup semi-final a week after sustaining his at Leeds. I think that answers you 'Why was he allowed to play on' question. It doesn't really, all i...

He's a young lad. If he's not had that kind of injury before he may well have not been able to recognise what was going on. If I was having a breakthrough season as a 19 year old in the Premier League I'd want to try and play on too. Just hoping he gets all the support and rehabilitation he needs, ...

Their PL squad is full apparently and, due to having two other goalkeepers, they wouldn't get the special dispensation to sign him.

You need to cancel your services and enter the notice period. They usually ring you before that ends with a a better deal (even better than the one they offer during the call to cancel).

He hasn't reached anywhere near the standards he'd hit prior to the world cup.

Scored twice at Bournemouth in the cup after the world cup.

Really don't understand why the PL haven't yet launched their own streaming service direct to the consumer.

Must have missed us playing Garstang?? Played them twice apparently! :D City at home, the first game of the season, was the last time I spent any money on the concourse. My experience that evening to put me off completely until they sort it out. We previously went down every single half time, too.

Fretters

Must have been much more enjoyable to write, this one!

' the first time we’ve scored five in a game since Eddie Howe’s team beat Peterborough 5-2 early in the 2012/13 season.'

Should that read home game, Tony? We scored 5 at MK Dons under Dyche.

I think Newcastle beat someone 8-0 when they were bottom, just after Bobby Robson took over. Shearer scored five.
