I don’t know how people listen to commercial radio, it’s dross. Limited playlists, overhyped presenters, and repetitive adverts. I remember a few years so tuning into RadioX - I was impressed with the playlist. They played Fat Lip by Sum 41 and I said to my mate “I’ve not heard this this in ages, i...

Apparently after reviewing the CCTV footage he's been released and a penalty awarded to Man United.

You’d think players and mates going on a jolly might be a bit more discreet where they go as it’s almost inevitable that in a country as Uber corrupt as Greece that something Is gonna go off with some plastic bellend and the police will be on hand to arrest the “ superstar “ . I’m sure Utd will hav...

Good to see Wild..the film about a solo woman doing a long distance walk in the Western USA getting a mention above as I really enjoyed this. Re the Salisbury Poisonings I enjoyed it but on reflection it was as if it had been written by a Health & Safety Manager, focusing virtually entirely on the H...

Also a mention for Chris Iwelumo at the Ricoh v Coventry. Genuinely we might as well have just planted a tree midway in their half.

Another for Dave (striker) Jones. Working in London Clarets at Orient so I went. Didn't even know he had signed, 90 minutes later wished he hadn't. Yes !!! When I read the mentions of David Jones on this thread that game at Orient, which I also attended, immediately came to mind. He was absolutely ...

Take a day trip across to the small island of Symi. Beautiful place. The best advice on this thread...in fact I'd go and stay on Symi. It is indeed beautiful. Halki, off the coast on the other side of Rhodes, is also nice though smaller and a bit less Greek..by which I mean it seems to exist purely...

The week before, or after? Didn’t we draw with Orient 3-3 after being 3-1 down. Terry Cochrane coming on and scoring 2?

Funny....I also memory of the 4-4 with Norwich being the game before or after a 3-3 home draw.

Sound tremendous. New uses for the food of the Gods.

The Ralph Coates 5-1 was one of the first games I attended and made him an immediate hero for life. When I saw this thread I immediately thought of Glen Little v Sours in the League Cup as Rowls has highlighted above. Watched that game in a pub In St Albans and Super Glen was unstoppable as we turne...

All good here in Crete...... beautiful.

Why are some things Amazing to some people. It can be so small and insignificant but they tell you its AMAZING. Or even worse..."Awesome". I mean "Awesome" is OK if describing witnessing a major tornado or seeing a gigantic whale breaching the surface of the ocean but definitely not for confirming ...

Some serious irritants nominated already on this thread. Two linguistic trends make me grind my teeth to dust :- 1 “Would of” and “Could of” instead of “would/could HAVE” 2. “ Can I get a coffee ?” Err , no because it’s round this side of the counter but you could HAVE one if I make it for you. What...

Stalbansclaret

Sometimes unfairly criticised I feel but yes : - horrendously biased to top 6 teams in terms of extent of coverage (obviously listenership related) - some presenters awful..Andy Goldstein, Jason Cundy , Jim White at the top of this list for me. Brazil not much better. - and worst of all the constant...

That night we beat Arsenal in the "Capital Punishment" League Cup run I thought I was watching a player who would go to the very top. Beautiful second goal.

Stalbansclaret

It's between Trevor Steven and Steven Defour and the latter probably gets it because Steven only played for us when still a youngster. However I remember watching him and thinking he had that rare ability to "glide" that only true class players possess. The good thing is that I also see Dwight McNei...

I always remember "Yifter the Shifter" being a decent 5000m runner back in the days of Steve Cram etc

Stalbansclaret

I think Wood is a good shout. Seems to be supremely confident and I always think he has a goal in him. I also think Charlie Taylor, despite missing a couple of chunks of the season, has developed into a top-class Premier League player and I always feel more confident when he is playing.

Just to thank WELLERNUT70 for prompting me to get this album....I agree it's really excellent

17,000 capacity I remember reading and, having driven past it on the M4, that looked about right. As for their crowds they will definitely fill it in the PL .

The bucket collection was for David Reeves, who was here in two loan spells between November 1987 and March 1988. That would be under Teasdale. Jackson did the opposite, if I remember rightly. In 1984-5 towards the end of the season, we were in danger of relegation so the club halved the admission ...

What a player Ben Mee has been, and continues to be, for us. Great news.

Stalbansclaret

Really interesting discussion arose just now..c7.20pm for 10 minutes or so..about SD, his abilities and prospects should he want to move. Much praise of his achievements with us..."staggering", "brilliant" etc ..and of the man's qualities but bemusement that no top 6 club "even Leicester" would be l...

Stalbansclaret

Absolutely NO, NAY , NEVER. Take a look at the Watford message boards this season if you think we should sign him.

Stalbansclaret

I thought he was impeding the keeper. He might not even have been fouling him but he doesn’t need to foul him to be interfering with the goalie’s ability to get to the ball. There is no way Ryan was stopping that header. Bit of a sickener, esp as I thought we should have had a penalty. That's a pen...

Couldn't believe this was actually true. Truly ridiculous.

vomit inducing slop, Always been a cringe fest. the ever grinning sue barker/ally mcoist tedium to the dregs served up by golf/rugby bores. its a giggly little club for the middle class viewers. anything that has some overpaid bore called "tuffers" is a cert for dull show of the century. the audien...

Surely it would be morally wrong of us to not enter and thereby deprive the fans of, say, Bolton Wanderers to have the thrill of playing against a team representing an established Premier League club !

I think Ashley Young is another for this particular Hall of Fame

Sensational really and would have been beyond anyone's wildest dreams when we were 1-0 down at home to Leicester in January.

Had a near heart attack on seeing this thread !!

Really want Villa to win to open things up at the bottom and make tomorrow's West Ham v Watford game a real crunch. Also would keep the possibility of a final day death match between Villa and West Ham alive.

Just wanted to say that I thought Wood's "sitter' was actually quite a difficult chance when you see it. The angle Wood was approaching the ball at meant he really needed to "wrap his neck around" the ball to get it on target. As it came back in his direction fairly slowly from Vydra's excellent kno...

If you can't get 43p a day of value out of BBC Radio, TV and online content you really aren't trying very hard. Commercial radio is pretty much universally terrible.

The Milltown Brothers...'90s indie heroes and Clarets

Stalbansclaret

You’d think we’d walloped them 10-0 with the way some people are going on. It was a 1-1 draw, hardly the most interesting game that’s ever happened. I'm not fussed about us not being on the BBC sports front-page but this post does, I think, somehow understate the extent of our achievement !!! I tak...

Qatar getting the World Cup was so ludicrous a decision that it proved beyond doubt that football governance was completely in thrall to the money of the super-rich. This decision just predictably follows the same path.

How come Butland isn’t in the reckoning these days? Simply because he’s not playing in the prem? Or has his standard of performance dropped? I haven’t seen him play in a long time so I genuinely don’t know. Butland has been very poor for Stoke this season with a number of real howlers. Not a conten...

Like I said, good for you. Personally, I would rather give my 43p a day to charity. Btw, it was the BBC that started the political point making, not anyone on here. What are you on about ? The whole point I am making is that the thread is about last night's MotD (and it's poor treatment of our club...

If you want to pay for the BBC and think it’s worth it, you go ahead and pay. Personally, I don’t see why it should be a tax for people with TVs and would rather not. If they decide to push a particular agenda that I don’t agree with, I have even more reservations about being taxed to support it. I...

Stalbansclaret

Yes.last night's Motd was rubbish from our perspective and the presenters showed us no respect. I agree there is cause for complaint. This can perhaps be offset by the (well deserved) massive and prolonged praise for our performance at West Ham the other night on the previous MotD. Yes..I'd also agr...

I was embarrassed about the banner at City, if you weren’t then that’s fine but don’t tell others how they should feel. I didn’t try to feel embarrassed it was my natural feeling. When a several colleagues and work associates brought it up in conversation over the following days I couldn’t help but...

Was wondering whether to invest and I will now based on your comments. I agree with your overall comments. I thought Saturn's Pattern was great personally and enjoyed his "quiet"nlast album True Meanings too. Went to see him at Greenwich Naval College last year and he was superb.

Another "Carney Classic" at the 2nd half drinks break "The drinks break has come at the wrong time for West Ham because they're building up a head of steam" In the 5 minutes leading up to it we were all over West Ham like a cheap suit and could have extended our lead a couple of times in that perio...

Watched it on my phone on a dodgy stream that kept breaking up. Was it a clean header? If it was it’s the best header I’ve ever seen. After Mee’s last week!

Bit of shoulder on it, though not as much as the one at Bournemouth !

This made me laugh, amongst others, on their "Knees Up Mother Brown" Forum
"Chris Wood with a Fifa pace of 36 running in behind, doing step overs and getting off a good shot. Feels like I'm having the **** taken out of me".

Stalbansclaret

Wood probably can't manage 90 minutes yet anyway so I'd stick with a Vydra/Wood split.

Stalbansclaret

A class footballer who combines great strength and athleticism with heading ability, a hammer of a shot and a clever footballing brain. It's proving a magnificent return for Jay.

Good comments FCBurnley..however bit harsh on Wood whose upper body was only offside because he had to lean forward to see around the defender.

Our last 12 games...and the L was away to Man City. I mean that's just incredible..... Champions League form over a third of a season.
