Traffic in Burnleys horrendous today.
Just spent half an hour getting from the Prarie to the town centre.

Sixty years on and still the truth about the assassination of JFK hasn't been released. The programme about the Parkland doctors was interesting - the interview between all of them years after the event and they were all still adamant that the wound in Kennedys throat was an entry wound caused by a ...

There seems to be more stewards than fans.

I wonder how many they sold at £15.

Tis' a good film.
Well worth a watch.

I'd settle for six points instead.

We got promoted with 101 points and we're head and shoulders above the other sides in the championship. During the summer we didn't sign two players who were key to our success, Tella and Harwood- Bellis. We signed a raft of new players who'd never been at the club and were judged to be Premiereship...

I've stopped sending stuff first class. It's a ripoff.
You don't get anywhere near next day delivery.
The post office is a second class service in every meaning of the words.

Twenty seven games left and thirty six points needed.

First ten minutes good.
Last eighty minutes bad.

A welcome return for Beyer.

Good luck with your book Selbyclaret. Hope it goes well.

The board must have spent quite some time on this with their new policy.
"the introduction of new measures," and " only approved flags purchased from the Clarets Store...allowed".
Next it'll be flashed up on the big screen to 'wave your flags now'
The game has officially gone to the dogs.

Are rattles allowed in?

Lane,Swan and Kay all got banned and their professional careers finished
Yet Toney and Tonali have a slight hitch and it's back to earning thousands

Peter Swan, Bronco Lane and co were banned for conspiring to fix matches, not betting.

A lot of pundits have come out today in support of helping the professional footballers who have a gambling addict.I remember Ivan Toney saying he was not fully aware of the gambling rules and did not appreciate the repurcusions of doing it FFS. These guys have a fantastic career and today earn an ...

Shirley you can't be serious.

You can add Palace in there too.

You can add Everton and Forest to the four.

Four points from Nine games shows we can't cut it at this level with this team.

Sorted. £15 million and a five year contract.

Just seen the first two episodes so far. Coogan's portrayal of Savile, the mannerisms, voice etc are spot-on.
Had forgotten the military funeral he was given.
Its shivering to watch in parts.

These huge increases are another example of why the entire management of league football needs an overhaul with fans as equal partners in the decision making.

The Americans invented fast food - you'd have thought they'd have brought all their fast food skills and culinary talents with them.
Alas not.
Yet.

On the food and catering front there's Nothing I've seen in the Bob Lord to suggest we've moved forward. Over-priced Hollands Pies, hot dogs, crisps, chocolate and half cups of coffee. You'd have thought the American owners who've been in charge long enough now could have come up with a better range...

The Maglev that was a British invention in the 1970s. Another great idea that another nation will benefit from.

The high speed rail plan should have been more ambitious. It should have connected all the major cities. That way the whole country benefits. As the South benefits now with their all electric rail and high speed rolling stock and infrastructure. It's light years ahead of the north All that's left fo...

City lost

Everton lost

Just Liverpool to lose and a full set.

There were never any questions over Crossrail. Money was chucked at that for decades. Was all about connecting the south to London. Was over budget, delayed years but it got done in the end. It's a great piece of engineering work and shows what we can do when we want. HS2 needs finishing as does HS3...

Any reason why they can't fill a cup with hot water?

A good player when at his peak but not when he came to us. Sad that his form was rock bottom and that he will always be remembered here for giving it the Churchill salute.

Don't you mean deep fried Mars bars? Was in Glasgow in the early 90s and before catching the train home my mate said, let's have a beer in the Saracens Head. Most of the Gorbals had been levelled but the Sarry Heed was still standing. Steel mesh covered the windows making it look like it was all boa...

I went in the Manor Barn just before it shut.
They'd had the bailiffs in and all the furniture had gone and the toilets smashed up so no one could use them.
They were Still serving beer.

The Bobbin.
Closed awaiting new management to take it on.
The only pub left between Park Lane and the town centre pubs.

Trafford wasn't to blame for the goals
Son and Maddison were given way too much room.
