Only on this forum do we have fans seriously nostalgic for the 4th division days, and want to be relegated to the championship so we can have a lot of away fans.

And what about Cricketfield Claret who goes on for the atmosphere?

You just can't make it up!!!

Chip Harrison

I agree. It was a poor ball to Hendrick, but when you find yourself surrounded by 3 players, never mind Chelsea you get rid into touch, you don't try and dribble through them. The other thing we fail to do is pass and move. You should always move into a position to get a return pass so that the pla...

Ralph Coates was exciting. A great shout for Casper, but Kindon in full stride for me.

Chip Harrison

let's get relegated this season, go into the Championship, play exciting attacking football........ and get promoted to the Premier League. Or, get relegated, do a Sunderland, Leeds, Derby, Norwich, but on far less money due to our normal Championship turnover of around £10 to £15 million, which inc...

All the pro-Serling fanbois are coming out in force just because he scored a couple of goals. On in the 16th minute and another in the 36th. Mu question is are these idiots thinking about all the other minutes he didn't score? There were 43 of them in the first half but you cherry-pick the two that...

Not being funny YC, but whats the odds on that happening?

Its in all the papers. I posted that cos there is no paywall.

Just a heads up, but there are heavy fines for people that warn other drivers about the presence of mobile speed cameras. Not sure it applies to social media though!

People have been fined for flashing their lights to warn other road users.

Johnstone Press who own the Burnley Express is struggling and is up for sale.

Could this mean the end of the BE as we know it?

Chip Harrison

Ok a couple think he did the right thing that's fine. We all have different opinions after all. But once he had been shot and danger over why wasn't he out of the car to take charge of the incident as a top ranking officer? Because he manages the people that do that. You don't see Generals on the f...

Chip Harrison

It was a knife not a gun, so yes, I would if I thought I could help. As someone has already pointed out the car would have had something in it and even if they had only driven the car at him it may have helped. Even if he had only distracted the guy then run away to a safe distance it may have help...

Chip Harrison

Which one of us would completely unarmed, tackle an armed murderer who was carrying a massive knife and had murderous intent all over him. Do you foolishly give up your own life because another officer died by blindly rushing at this terrorist, or do you wait another 30 seconds and an armed officer ...

As an example of a time when i'd call someone a tool, or just generally be impolite, imagine someone out of nowhere just walks up to me and accuses me of "sulking for over 24 hours" about something and also calls me a "liar" based on nothing more than their own imagination - that's a fairly good ex...

What are you struggling to understand? I didn't follow the thread. If i posted in it then i'd forgot i'd posted in it, that's one of the ways you can tell i wasn't following the progression of the discussion. How many posts were made in the 24 hours between my posts? When I'm saying "i haven't foll...

Chip Harrison

Just because i reply to a thread doesn't mean I've followed it before and/or since. You see that 24 hour gap? That the period over which i didn't follow it, you tool. But you has posted twice before you said you weren't following it. So you were lying? That's the second time you have reverted to ca...

Looking at the Burnley support today and at home games I beginning to think that the young people are being ailinated. Why are our supporters so bloody old, the average age must be 70. I sit in the Bob Lord and am surrounded by bloody geatrics who look like they are struggling to breath. Once there...

Chip Harrison

I haven't followed this thread but am I right to assume that some people have tried to portray this as the end of democracy? You have followed the thread. You posted twice before this. Then when you received no reply you sulked for over 24 hours before joining the fray in your usual slightly superi...

its essentially about accessibility for deaf students so i'm not sure earphones would work. given the events it mainly applies to are debates, panels and talks, there's unlikely to be anything too raucous occurring anyway. a outright ban on clapping at a university would be absurd but adopting a mo...

In who's opinion does Sean make mistakes? Sean may think that he has played the hands that he has been dealt with the EL and the PL.
As he says, we will reboot and then let's see, but mistakes?

Gulp! Sky News today.

Nearly all, No In fact all Brexit threads on this board end up with somebody trying to prove they are smarter/ cleverer than somebody else and actually end up having **** all to do with Brexit or with the original debating point on which the thread was started.

Maybe their children won't be worse off. Maybe it's possible to negotiate a small financial hit without putting your kids into poverty. I know I can by spending a little less on luxuries. Taking on a couple more hours a week. Paying a little less into my pension. Take cheaper holidays etc. Maybe my...

Keith Newton played left back for us, so no comparison with previous and current right backs.

The second referendum is coming whether we like it or not.

Bentley says poor sales all round. Looks like the Europa League hasn't been the big thing we thought it would be. Poor attendances, poor displays and below strength teams selected. A glorified EFL cup!

Chip Harrison

We do need to get behind the team and 'do our bit' to get team spirit back or lifted and help improve performances in general. Even if that means we lose our next three games but performances improve and we don't get seriously tonked by United and Wolves. Hopefully by the Wolves game both Vydras an...

The claim is that Corbyn is Old Left but sociologically speaking he is very much New Left. The great change in left-wing thinking in the 60s was from class-based issues towards identity-based issues such as sexuality, gender, race, drugs and so on. Ed Milliband's father was signed up to this moveme...

Couldn't this have been added to Hampstead Claret's post on Monday. We must be the only forum in the world with 2 Aretha Franklin posts.

Interesting point Ringo, in that the British people were never asked if they wanted to live in a multi cultural society, but had it forced on them...Not saying I agree with that, but I can see why some people would think that and even be angry at it.

On the news again today. Thefts and assaults on pedestrians by muggers on mopeds are rocketing in London.
