Good report CT. Interesting to look back on what many on here regard as their favourite season in 1972. Same top two as fifty years ago at the same stage. https://i.imgur.com/bkDXgjb.gif We would've had less points 50 years ago after 17 games than today if it had been 3 points per win. Really surpri...

I don't think I've seen a better first touch with a 'weaker' foot than Tella's before he won the penalty at West Brom. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuR8cwmV0xk

Unbelievable that a striker averaging a goal every other game for one of the best teams in the country wasn't a regular choice for England.

League Championship table after close of play on 23 October 2015 Pos Team Pld W D L GF GA GD Pts 1 Brighton 12 8 4 0 18 10 8 28 2 Birmingham 12 7 3 2 19 11 8 24 3 Reading 12 6 4 2 18 8 10 22 4 Hull City 12 6 4 2 17 8 9 22 5 Burnley 12 6 4 2 17 12 5 22 Not a huge difference to our present situation.

That first touch by Tella on his 'weaker' foot that led to the penalty at West Brom was sublime. It's something that McNeill could only dream of as he continues to be limited by his pathetic one-footedness.

I love how annoyed folk get about people calling it the Premiership

It must be embarrassing to call it that after 15 years of it being known as the Premier League. It was called the Premier League when Coyle got us promoted to it.

We were talking about the worst referee ever on the Turf going to Watford. As bad as Lynch was, as bad as McNally was, I give you George Hartley from Wakefield, Burnley v Wolves 1970. At the end of the game a Burnley fan ran on the pitch and headed straight for the ref but was stopped by Derek Doug...

Weghorst is still a very good player and he still belongs to BFC. He was starved of service but with this new team forever going forwards he could work wonders for us next season...whatever League we are in. Don't spite yourself! There's no way Wout Weghorst could play the high pressing game that V...

£5.50 for San Miguel.

That’s dearer than it is in Spain.

In Tenerife some bars are charging the equivalent of 80 pence for a pint of San Miguel.

I watched this before the Huddersfield game and the most impressive thing he said was when we defend corners or free-kicks we'll be concentrating on scoring from them, not just defending them. It's the most positive thing I've ever heard from a football manager.

Just a warning to our fans who don’t like ‘one footed’ players. Although he plays on the right wing, Benson is (imo) more left-footed than McNeil. Doesn’t bother me one bit but best be forewarned if you are easily upset... In the following link it shows him going past players by shifting the ball q...

I was in favour of VAR but the officials have ruined it with their ineptness. Vydra being double-punched in the face by Tim Krul should've been a penalty and a sending-off, clear as day. It was lucky he wasn't badly injured by the punch or when he hit the ground. That was the worst one for me and wh...

One key aspect which hasn't been mentioned is THB does have Championship experience, so it won't be a culture shock for him.

CT mentions it on this page.

1000000000% false. The clubs themselves don’t get the fixtures till 8am on the release day then they’re embargoed till 9am.

110% is 10% too high. Inflation is even affecting football percentages now.

I was at drama school in London at the time. I remember my dad ringing me and putting the phone next to the radio so I could listen to the commentary.

The best individual goal has to be Ashley Hoskin's against Swansea. He was only 18 at the time.

The co-commentator has been awful, constantly talking Burnley down. Had a go at Cornet for not shooting when there's a defender blocking him and he's been on a downer for us all the first half.

I'd say it's one of the most important games Burnley have had since they have been in the Premiership. Definitely not the most important fixture since Orient.

Burnley have never been in the Premiership.

Unless I'm misremembering Harry Thomson saved every penalty taken against him one season until the very last game when Alan Ball put one past him.

Their plans will be the same as most clubs.

The examples of one-footed players that could get away with it all have one thing in common - they were all quick. Dwight isn't.

I don't understand how a professional footballer that's been coached since childhood can still only use one foot. Just think how much more of a threat he'd be if he could cut inside and hit it with his right foot. Maybe they should show Dwight footage of Dave Thomas who was that two-footed he took c...

My grandad's favourite was Bob Kelly. I didn't realise how good he was until the internet arrived. He was a striker that played for Burnley and England in the 1920s. My dad's was Jimmy Mac.
