Depending on where you park the way you have to leave the away end can add a few miles onto your journey back to the car. Even if you leave after an hour!!

He's taken them to Wembley in his first game in charge. An FA Cup semi final at Wembley, I repeat an FA Cup semi final at Wembley! I would hire my arse out for an hour in a Canal street Gloryhole for one of these. The curse of the UTC poster, knew when I put it in on the saints would have a change ...

Some interesting away games in this season with large followings. This did seem to attract some attention from the locals or in Barnet's case the Met Police and that idiot on a horse who could quite easily have crushed a number of people. Mansfield was a bit lively on Quarry Lane outside and the who...

NL Claret

Looked to have lost their cutting edge up top whereas saints have found theirs.

Great pen save could inspire Wigan?

NL Claret

How good is Ryan Bertrand..............at time wasting.

NL Claret

Was just about to post how they have perked up 2nd half.......1-0. Think they'll win comfortably now.

Didn't realise there are no replays at this stage.

NL Claret

A sneaky 1-0 against the run of play.

NL Claret

See that Mark Hughes has had a big impact on the Saints. Hanging on in this game.

Will he come out after the game and slag the pitch and opposition off deflecting from his own inadequacies?

NL Claret

Pickford looks very indecisive at the moment. Stuck to his line for the Barnes goal and yesterday didn't come for a cross. Probably lacks the physical presence too. Some however will love his wacky kicking of the ball, not always sure about that technique. Looks good when it comes off but I don't it...

Thought many were sent up to Sedbergh if they were decent at rugger or cricket on scholarships.

I had the misfortune to go to a fee paying school and if you were no good at football they were sent off to play rugger.

NL Claret

My mate told me he had a testimonial for Chorley years ago, like it's mentioned above its nothing to do with the club. He had his on an evening and the club charged him for use of the floodlights and he actually lost money!!

NL Claret

Hughes comments post our game with Stoke in December really annoyed me.

They are just a long ball team (didn't mention their 6ft 7" forward) and it's dropped for the lad and he's just hit it and it's gone in.

I hope he plays his part in 2 clubs going down. Classless tool.

NL Claret

Always liked Marney from day one, took a while for some to warm to him as he was a Laws signing but he always brought plenty to the table. Great in the tackle and also at driving us forward especially late in the games when we were on the back foot. Played a massive role in our promotions and in his...

NL Claret

I was there for that...truly awful! We were behind the goals and they possibly scored them all in front of us. Depressing stuff. Scarborough away is now coming to mind when most of us wanted to leave the ground at half-time but they wouldn`t unlock the gates. I went to our 2nd visit to the theatre ...

Loved his appearance in Pheonix nights as the Hoss at the ponderosa, all under one roof.

The out takes on the DVD are hilarious.

RL have just tweeted the sad news.

passed away aged 80.

:D me and my dad bumped into chris outside b&q about a year ago. i hadn't seen him for years and wondered why bryan ferry was saying hello to us. I havent seen Chris for probably 20 years and that's when ray hamers was still open in Tottington. I think Adam only lives down the road too but I can't ...

I think our wage bill will be very hefty this year with a lot of bonuses being paid. I wouldn't be surprised if some players are approaching 100% bonuses on their basic wage with the way this season has gone. Would this be in line though with the final league position payment / bonus? If we were to...

NL Claret

ha, blimey interesting post, i know chris and adam mccormack from years back. never knew they had a nag! I think Chris has had a few. Years back, probably late 90s he had one called Fisiostar which was an absolute donkey. We used to back it religiously and think we might have had a couple of each w...

Like Notts said you would be spoilt for choice if you were picking from the 80's, so I chose a recent one. Luckily for us we only really throw one of them sorts of performances per season (West Brom last season, Swansea this). Another recent-ish one was Doncaster away in Coyle's season. Grezza's wo...

What do think Louis Vac Pouch chances are on Thursday?

His owner lives round our way in Bury and know a few who have backed it quite heavily.

Apologies if I've spelt the name wrong, the owner has a vacuum pouch company or something along those lines.

NL Claret

Worried, not in the slightest. We're not in a relegation battle and it's not a 6 pointer. It's west Brom after all and I'm convinced we will lose and Dawson will score from a corner.

NL Claret

The worry for these teams is that if they are relegated is what happens next. Look at Sunderland, Bolton and Birmingham all struggling at the wrong end of the championship and then a step further Wigan and them down the road in league 1. Makes our achievement of going straight back up look more of a...

Burnley 0-2 Scunthorpe in one of Laws' last games was awful. Sheffield United 3-0 Burnley (around 2000/2001 - my first ever away game) with gazza pinging balls straight to the opposition was one to forget as well... Laws left the next day, some of the players that day should have been ashamed of th...

I think he put something on Instagram saying the procedure had gone to plan.

He'll be back in time for a Sean Dyche pre season.

NL Claret

Accrington Stanley away in the league cup is worthy of note too.

NL Claret

Just getting to the end of this book by Simon Hughes.

Excellent read, he travels around a lot of north west clubs both professional and non league carrying out interviews.

Really interesting stuff.

NL Claret

I think that might have been the day when he was so drunk he named a starting team with 12 players. Wow, I didn't know that!! We were that bad we'd have lost with 15. Chris Brass was in foundation talking about making his debut at Portsmouth and Mullen said to him at half time to man mark Preki and...

NL Claret

Coventry (a) under Stan when we lost 4-0. We were dreadful, in a season where we got dry humped on a fairly regular basis and still stayed up. That was one that came to mind. Think they'd spent a week on the ale in Spain beforehand and it showed. It was reasonably warm when we left but by the time ...

NL Claret

Ward's departure from Burnley coincided with a slump in form.

Should have got a play off spot that season. Remember going to Brentford and Walsall and getting a couple of 3-1 away wins, after that we went downhill.

NL Claret

Dyche wouldn't deck any player, he would psychologically deck them though.

Reading a book called on the brink atm, quality read, in the book Joe Royle says how recruitment then management are the most important things. Coaching comes 3rd.

NL Claret

Didn't MOTD highlight him the other week just totally switching off and been miles out of position when I think Bournemouth scored against them. He doesn't fit the Dyche system nor the Dyche test.

NL Claret

Important for some to have a scapegoat. Was in lanzarote airport when I checked the team and 21 replies to Chris Boden on Twitter when Hendrick was named in the team. Got to go up 2 up top apparently and attack them. Sounds like Dyche knows more than them. The other week v soton he won a late corner...

What is the next level for West Ham or Burnley even? Finishing 6th or 7th?

NL Claret

Was only thinking about Big Mitch the other day for some reason, possibly a you tube or post on here. Was dubious when we signed him but in the main he was a rock. Think it was a Tuesday night game against Fulham when they were top with Saha etc. Naturally Fulham got stuffed as they always did on th...

I definitely sat on the Bee Hole, the "screen" was at the CFS end. Sunshine didn't help.

NL Claret

Sat on the bee hole (there wasn't that many so view unaffected) to watch the Torquay game. Got there late, missed a goal or maybe 2 and left early to play cricket. Couldn't see much on the screen due to the sun. On reflection I wish I hadn't bothered!!

NL Claret

Just watched the you tube clip of Burnley v Wrexham 1993 posted on another thread.

You don't see the JH emptying on to the JM with 5 minutes left to get a quick dart anymore.

I suppose back then this was how you got away with leaving early without been told off?

NL Claret

Beehole were you official photographer or just a hobby? Loving the pictures so far. Perhaps worth a thread of their own! Do you have many from the first season after promotion under stan? Definitely worth a thread or as mentioned a page. The photos jog some great memories, even though we were sh!t ...

David Eyres in the foundation on Saturday.

Eyres - "John Gayle, do you remember him?"

Veronica - "what's your most embarrassing moment in football?"

Potentially this could be the 6th placed decider too.

Hope the club don't take the minimum allocation.

NL Claret

The Wigan one was in 99 i think, thousands turned up at the newly opened ground and the stand to the left of the Burnley fans was empty as it didn't have the required safety certificate. The police started to put the excess Clarets in the empty stand but forgetting to put any stewards in there, cue...

Patrick cagoules and farah pants.

Folk walking round the pitch with a blanket for fans to throw coins into (or at those carrying blanket) . This might just have a Gigg Lane things.

Comment above about sitting back on a 2-0 lead!!!! A few flaws in this: Palace look tired at the end of the 1st half! United made the change at half time and were pretty much camped in the Palace half. United have much better players than Palace (when they want to) Perhaps Palace should have bombed ...

NL Claret

Poor from United, playing Palace's hands by continually going inside into congestion. No cohesion at all.

Very lazy performance from Pogba.

NL Claret

I would have been in the one at Deepdale, think we were already 2-0 by that point. Even the disabled were abusing us as we were escorted to the far end. It was an awful night. They put us in a small pen with PNE to our left, right and behind who took great pleasure as they banged 6 in. The tipping p...

NL Claret

Great experience - how many times when the ball is on the left hand side does he end up in space on the edge of the box with a shooting opportunity. Unlucky not to score v City, Soton and Everton. He was going mad at a team mate in 2nd half for not finding him. Saw him on Sky earlier in the season v...

NL Claret

Plenty on here last week moaning about been in 7th place.

One win and the UTC focus moves onto overtaking Arsenal, maybe Chelsea and a place in the Europa League.

Nothing like a happy medium.
