We seem to be the only team bl00dy Ings can score against.

As soon as he came on you just knew.

Just seen this,and maybe too late! Not going today, but I've done it a few times before by parking in Romford (quite a few big 'pay' car parks near the station) and then two stops down the line to Stratford. Busy with 'ammers after the game but probably preferable to heading back into town on the tr...

i don't know, existentialism has always alluded me.

I can't work out if that's a clever pun or you just mis-spelled 'eluded'.

I'm feeling generous though.

Sheffield United on my birthday 5-0

The only home game I missed, on holiday.

Not see us win at home in a season will be a 60 year first.

Some of our defending this season has been non-existential….

And here's me thinking that the only explanation was exactly the opposite.

"Till we play Blackburn Rovers"

Ha ha, my pet hate.

How about:

'When love walked in through my door
That familiar feeling I'd had once before'

Not that familiar then. Or:

'Romeo, you nearly gave me a heart attack'

If only Shakespeare had thought of that.

Pet Shop Boys

Up there with some New Order lyrics

Enjoying it though!

Top tune is 'I Want a Dog'.

Somewhere in this town'

At the prison, perhaps?

Perhaps our set piece coach needs to look into this?

Sounds like a viable use of his resource.

Best said if he didn't play injured, he would have never played a game.

We appear to have plenty of players in that position.

dougcollins

Even compared with the season we were relegated, the pace in the PL seems to have gone up a gear.

I suppose something has to give.

dougcollins

Meticulously covered in 'Twin Town', but I can't find the clip on YouTube. Probably not surprising considering the language.

Half of that tally is from when Eddie Howe was manager.

Imagine what it would be without the Dyche seasons?

My friend has a restaurant, and I told her if I owned one I'd only let people in if correctly attired.

She said 'You'd have a very empty restaurant'.

To be fair, we also have Amdouni who has a far higher pedigree so far than Lyle

Just let me know when he decides he's going to show it.

dougcollins

I have one of Kate's guitars, though to be fair, she's never seen it!

My mate built her one but in his opinion it wasn't 'perfect'- so he went ahead and made her the perfect one, and I have the first one.

Absolutely nothing wrong with it.

Brighton fans receiving a coin bombardment.

Good job they're not winning.

And as for gloves- one hand removed for a first offence.

Player gets to choose.

Funny how times change, I worked with Bad Manners and the Beat in the early 90’s they hated the studio and just wanted to play live.

I spend a lot of time in the studio but you really can't beat playing live.

I loved The Beat, really underrated musicians.

dougcollins

Tony can't half talk some b******s but that is a good article.

dougcollins

My mate had a club in Yorkshire in the 70's, and I overheard him on the phone telling this band to **** off.

'Cheeky b******s wanted £300' he said to me.

That was The Damned.

He did get The Pistols on though.

From BBC:

Arsenal are the second team to net at least five goals in three successive top flight away matches, after Burnley in September 1961 (6-2 at Birmingham City, 6-2 at Leicester City, 5-3 at Fulham).

I would suggest it was a much more level playing field in 1961.

dougcollins

If so, it's pretty much a guarantee for Leeds to go up auto.

Just read it, won't affect them this season. It is Leicester after all.

Their keeper made 6 saves on Sunday (1 great save and 5 run of the mill saves)! But still 6 on target!

Apart from the free kick I would have had a good chance of saving the rest, they were more like overhit back passes.

As alluded to, it was absolutely criminal that we didn't sign Tella.

Sundays may be awkward for Alan.

Foster, if fit will be our 20 goal man.

If fit appears to be a very big if.

He ran up to the touchline to wallop the matchball into the Longside Lower to give himself time, and ended up down the slope. The Bournemouth player ignored this and simply picked a new ball off the cone to take the throw. Dara was annoyed by this as he ended up behind him as he was taking the throw...

There were a lot of worse performances on that field than Trafford today.

Try looking at the defenders who gave him two unstoppable goals.

dougcollins

My mom today.

Up there with some of his EFL performances.

Not his best ones though.

dougcollins

He threw away a boomerang.

dougcollins

I think the biggest argument for dropping Trafford is reflected by the scores he's now getting for a perfectly fine performance in which he played to instructions. He's becoming a lightening rod for the teams failings. I agree with you on this. I really felt for the guy today, he was absolutely the...

Him and JBL were terrible up front.

It was so bad I was thinking we'd be better off with Amdouni and Jay Rod.

dougcollins

Saunders is on a level with Le Tissier for me.

dougcollins

I’ve not seen this incident. Does he have a point?

Should the drop ball have gone to a Forest player?

I must have missed this reference- I take it Clattenburg is now a Forest employee?

There are better ways than the official diversion, have a look at a map.

Unless you're driving an HGV of course.

When I first started singing it I am pretty sure the penniless manager I saw in the ale house was Gordon Lee.

The first year I remember this is 1974, so that would be right.

Interesting to see 9 potential bans for Burnley fans arising from the Everton fans in the home end debacle. Unsure how i feel about that but hard to really have an informed opinion without having been there. Seems unequitable when the club put the Everton people where they were. I wonder how many p...

I always wondered why Blackburn sing a version of the same song. The traditional Wild Rover , Irish folk song urges people not to be a Rover as it leads to a life of misery etc. Blackburn fans sing a song that is telling you not to be a Rover. And then claiming they had it first. The clue is in the...

Poor old Steve Earle. I saw him at Cambridge Folk Festival and people said he wasn't Folk.

He played at Nashville and people said he wasn't Country.
