I hope Burnley continue to operate with a degree of common sense. I think the initial offer of £25 million for the pair was more than reasonable. WBA have always been a difficult club for us to negotiate with but I'd be surprised if we didn't end up with either or both of these players come the 9th ...

It's all subjective as one or two have said Majorca. All I can suggest is the've never seen the real island. To my wife and self the most beautiful place on earth and we return time after time. As for tourist places I dread, in the UK Cromer must come top for me and yes Playa de Las Americas is a pl...

I don't think Wells has every been given a chance to show what he can do. I would never discard someone who has genuine pace and this lad certainly has that.

[quote="timshorts"]Jay worth £20 mill when Rondon only 16 mill? We might not get him but I'd have thought rondon better than jayrod, particular''ly at those rates. Think i'm right in thinking that Rondon may have a release clause in his contract. I personally think JRod would be an ideal player for ...

I think £25 million should be more than sufficient to prise these 2 guys away from WBA. We don't want to end up like a whole host of other clubs paying well over the top, only to end up with serious debt and back in the Championship. Don't forget there's two lots of wages to finance on top of these ...

Very Political. Think Spanish federation trying to send message to Real Madrid.

I can see him ending up at a club like Bolton where he was on loan last season. I think the lads been unlucky with injuries and this has probably cost him a top flight and good international career.

ashtonlongsider

Of your 3 options I'd opt for the Focus. That's unless you can get a very good deal on either of the Diesels, as diesel engined cars are in rapid decline.

ashtonlongsider

I know it's been inevitable but I think its a poor decision. There's hardly any momentum in the EPL with all the international breaks as things stand at present. Suppose the only good thing to come out of this is the split over a fortnight.

The west coast of Mallorca from Deia to Soller.

Sorry tybfc not my type.

Brady had a purple patch just before he got injured. IMO he's been very inconsistent throughout his career. That said, I believe this lad could become a very good wing back if we were, dare I say it, change the system, to playing the modern way with 3 CB's.

I saw the interview with Williamson and I honestly thought the Tory really thought he could get away with evading the question. Top marks to Madeley, thought he handled it excellently and lets hope more follow his lead.

ashtonlongsider

I think Sam can feel a little aggrieved at the lack of match time he's had this season. I may be in the minority but I'd certainly play him before Wood. If we are to bring in a quality No10, then for me Voksey would be the ideal partner.

ashtonlongsider

Problem is we then have to give the rest of our key men and any new signings 50 grand a week. I'd put JBG in the same bracket as Ben Mee as one of our first names on the team sheet. He was obviously happy with what we offered, so why does Ben Mee think he deserves more? If anything JBG is worth mor...

Excellent news and really measured statement from him.

ashtonlongsider

We will remember them. Thoughts and prayers to the 56 who lost their lives in this truly awful and harrowing tragedy.

I think SD could have phrased his comment better. I couldn't believe he said that, as 6th position could have been a distinct possibility IMO. To be frank I think a result like that has been coming for a few weeks. You could sense a few players weren't switched on. I will turn up next Sunday after a...

I'm absolutely delighted for the Shrimps. Survived by the skin of there teeth but with new owners lets hope they can move forward.

ashtonlongsider

Think he'll do really well at a big club in a poor league. Personally think it's a good move at the right time.

ashtonlongsider

Just dug out an old The Blue Nile album High. Must say it still sounds really good.

ashtonlongsider

I wonder if the lads had any regrets about not signing for us. After all his career hasn't gone swimmingly since and SD just might have nurtured him into the top player he should have become.

ashtonlongsider

Think SD has a certain type of left back in mind. He very nearly signed Andy Robertson from Hull last summer. That would have been some coup and the lads going to be playing in a Champions League final later this month.

Congratulations to all the winners. No argument from me, Nick Pope has been the POTY. Rocky appears to get everywhere. I would like to thank him for posing for a photo with my 6 year old grandchild when he came over from Laos with my son to take in the Leicester match. A true gentleman.

ashtonlongsider

Yes don't forget they also meekly surrendered the last Ashes in series to BT. In hindsight may not have been a bad thing on this occasion but at the time I was pretty annoyed about it. If someone gave me a choice which league I'd like to see after the EPL and Championship it would be Bundesliga. I d...

Employment law has many grey areas. First port of call for me would be ACAS. They also have a good website. I would get your wife to put everything and I mean everything that was discussed at the meeting in writing. Where 'reasonable adjustments" discussed, a phased return, having someone along side...

This Sherwood guy that's pontificating about SD taking Burnley as far as he can. Thought he won a PL medal with a small Lancashire club.

ashtonlongsider

Must say I've been impressed with Palace most times i've seen them, especially offensively. Certainly one of the best sides to come to the Turf this season and in my opinion deserved at least a point.

45 years ago. Frightening. I can remember getting into Preston early at around 11am and the area around the Flag Market being full of Clarets. So much so you knew it was going to be a special day. The younger supporters today wouldn't believe it wasn't all ticket and you could just go up to the oppo...

I can't understand some of the stick Tarks is taking. I know he's set exceptional high standards over the last 12 months and continued in that vein yesterday IMO. Forgive me for thinking he played in a back 4 that kept a clean sheet. That makes the principal objective achieved. Offensively he was on...

Frankie Laine - I Believe

ashtonlongsider

I can remember supporting Deano when he was taking all the flak on here and the previous forum, very unfairly IMO possibly because he was signed by Laws. Laws best piece of business and for me one of our greatest modern servants. Never been a fan of Arfield and I thought he may have gone at the end ...

Do you know something we don't CT ?

Seems speculation has started very early this time. Personally wouldn't want Matt Phillips. To inconsistent, but the other 2 would be great acquisitions.

Done x 2 my wife on ipad and me on the desktop. Good luck.

I think the only way Pope will be selected at this stage is if one of the other 3 is injured. I think Southgate selected him with one eye on the future. Joe Hart's come in for a lot of stick, but I for one think he will be No1 this summer, and prove a lot of critics wrong. He'll obviously be in the ...

I think Jay Rod has been somewhere near back to his best over the last few months, albeit scrapping in a WBA side that should be nowhere near the bottom 3. His work rate is phenomenal and for me he would be ideal for filling the hole in the number 10 role. Pure speculation and I'm sure there will be...

ashtonlongsider

Yes a real shame but hardly unexpected. Roots and Branches approach needed or else I can possibly see Sunderland going to the wall. Too quick a change of manager and parting with a talent like Grayson way to early before he got his teeth into the job.

ashtonlongsider

Think a few may have turned around given the massive jam on M65 between Rishton and Burnley. A journey from Wigan normally takes us 45 mins but tonight it was just under 2 hours.

Pope 5-Very poor and hesitant on the night and this didn't help the defenders in front of him. Lowton 7-Bar a couple of mix ups with JBG when he switched wings I thought he played reasonably well Long 5-Unlucky with og but didn't play well with Tarks as a unit. Tarkowski 6-Set his own high stands bu...

I thought Chelsea were excellent full stop. Best side at TM this season IMO. That left sided defender Emerson was very impressive.

Done and fingers crossed. You deserve to win. Good luck and thanks.

Done a few marathons, best time at Liverpool 3hrs 14mins 58 secs. Might have been 20 odd years since but still remember time.

Short memories a lot of Leicester fans have. I don't dislike many clubs but i make an exception with this East Midland club.

ashtonlongsider

If and I know it's still a big if...Southampton go down I think Jack Stephens is a good defender in the making and whenever I've seen Josh Sims in his limited appearances he has impressed. Think those two would be within our budget with lots of potential.

ashtonlongsider

I'd have JayRod back in a heart beat. Think he's class and just the type player to improve us.

ashtonlongsider

As good as Pope's been i'd be surprised if he's on the plane to Russia. I think it's possibly between him and the experience of Hart for the 3rd slot with the other 2 nailed on barring injuries.

SD singled Longy out for special praise after the Watford game at the weekend. Fully justified, the lads never lets us down.

Although I was born in Nelson, my formative years were spent in Bacup. So they are the first club I root for.
