Just when you had started to post some reasonable discussion points you've gone and spoilt it. Have you been on the Christmas Sherry early ?

Good fishing. Now get back to Deadwood.

I expect Spurs will tear us a new one. To have not scored a goal in open play In all these away games is pathetic. Losing is one thing if you are competing but we are not not and look clueless.

Howe was on the verge of being sacked at Burnley. The defending was diabolical. He has not managed anywhere else but Bournemouth and I'm not convinced he would succeed elsewhere.

Sorry none from open play

It seems to be one extreme or the other on here. The highest position we've ever had ( not true) so be grateful and we've only had a couple of poor performances ( not true) versus Dyche must go as he is so far out of his depth ( ridiculous). There is a right to question things when we have scored on...

Very good. I think I might go for one of these.

Whilst cash appears to be a players main priority a stable club with a stable manager who is loyal to players must be attractive. Joining a club where the manager is likely to change and you could be a benchwarmer won't appeal to all footballers.

Hampstead claret manages to get another anti right wing comment in.

No. There are many others such as De Bruyne, Hazard, Aguero, Willian, Coutinio and Firminio.

Don't agree with the OP at all. The PL is the strongest and most competitive league in the world. We should try and stay in and other clubs should strive to get there.

Based on our non performance at Southampton I think we will be lucky to get 2 points out of that lot.

KRBFC - mummy's here half an hour more playing on ' up the Clarets' then it's bedtime

Would I pay more for holidays and fuel in the short term but benefit from controlling our borders and making our own laws in the future ? Yes. Some people really are short sighted. Would I pay more to protect our rights. Yes.

An interesting thread. Often overlooked particularly by hospitals who focus on the physical only. I always find a football match makes me switch off from whatever else I could be thinking about.

Boo hoo we lost to the champions. Let's be rash and replace the manager. Idiocy.

No more reminders of Tony Hancock please. I saw far too much of him.

Blackburn -The new Bolton but with humour along the way.
