My lawn has been taken over with moss. I’ll get there eventually. Anybody any tips I’ll gladly take them. Simply give it a good 'back scratch' with a lawn rake. You'll be amazed at the amount of thatch and moss you pull out. Do it right and you'll be able to cancel your gymn membership. I'd recomme...

18 for me....which includes watching Nelson play at Springfield Park, a cup semi at Highbury and 16 Burnley games away from TM...including seeing both the clarets,(twice) and colne dynamos at the old Wembley.

Shame it was filmed in Yorkshire when it's about Lancashire clubs

When the scene was of them training, there at least was a clear view of Pendle.

My only visit and I can only recall how forgettable the experience was.....it was foggy and from the away end which was down by the corner flag you could see very little of the key moment, which came very early in the game...neil grewcock receiving a red.....

In what sense would the club have a liability? Not that I'm playing down the potential health risks, but it would be my decision whether to attend a football match, (even if advised not to do so), no one would be compelling me to attend. Has there been mention somewhere of clubs having a risk of li...

Villa beat us 2-1 at the Turf on NYD, signed Drinkwater six days later, got butchered 6-1 at home to City where Drinkwater made his debut, and have since picked up four points. We've picked up fifteen with one extra game played in that time. I'd say he's cursed, but in just the last eleven months h...

Both myself and my better half are contracted but are weekly paid, which means we don't fall into the 'salaried' structure at work. They get full pay.

A great football club and their supporters deserve far better.

How lucky we are.

He says it was the correct decision because Davinson Sánchez was going for the ball - wasn't Ben Mee when Spurs got their penalty? I'm certainly not doubting the Mee pen decision but Gallagher's explanation of the one we should have got is downright ridiculous. I think he's just at re-written the l...

A clear foul on Wood in the second half..Where was VAR then? VAR wouldn't have even considered the ball brushing McNeil's arm ....it wasn't a handball offence (as per the laws of the game)....BUT Had he crossed the ball and a Burnley player score (McNeil 'credited' with an assist) immediately, then...

I'll second your Scarborough nomination. Even in the 91-92 season they took four points off us. But if you look at our head-to-head record against them it reads W6 D1 L6 which is a lot better than I recall. Defeats against Scarborough last longer in the memory than a victory. Think I was there in 1...

My son, not born in Burnley, lives in Horsham and supports the Clarets. However he is not a postman so there must be three Clarets supporters there as his daughter, aged 9, also is a Claret.

Yes I,did and even more bizarrely if you score directly from an indirect free kick into your own goal a corner is the restart. Even more bizarrely.....

Well, not quite every day but have just read something I'd never heard of before. In a match in France tonight (live, just happened) between Metz and Lyon, Lyon were awarded a penalty.

Correct decision is VAR and penalty given

Not saying it’s right!

It would be a goal .... advantage to the offended team.

It's not happened yet...then again neither had yesterday's embarrassing incident.. but it will given time

What is interesting now is how teams seem to be changing their starting eleven when they play us and even train differently in the build up to the game

I want all the bottom teams that we aren’t playing to start winning now.

Except Brighton.

I do want Brighton to pick up just enough points between now and May, to have them needing a win on their last game to have a chance of staying up.

turfytopper

As we have 34 points earlier than I'm sure the majority of us would have hoped for.... there is surely an opportunity to give Vydra an extended run , regardless of the injury situation.

I understand the OP point. Following Burnley is about hope not expectation. Being a Claret fan reflects life in that there are occasional highlights but for the most part you hope for the best.
