Don't keep up to speed with this stuff, I take it he is a naughty boy?

Why they bother when they will never run out of money regardless of how much tax they pay is baffling.

JohnMac

It's a bit of a joke really but they have maintained a competetive edge at the highest level.

The USA love this legend stuff.

I hope the winner donates the money to various charities though.

JohnMac

I think it's irrelevant where you sit or which direction you approach from, if you act like a complete tool, you probably deserve to be treated like one. Some of the behaviour on the buses to Ewood since the scheme was introduced is nothing short of embarrassing. Grown men, and women, banging on win...

Just to add, I like many people born in the 1950's learnt about gambling long before the advent of advertising. Pontoon, Shoot and 3 card brag were played at school before we even owned a tv. Gaming machines in betting shops are just the latest traps for the weak and I don't mean that as a derogator...

My first car, an 11 year old Peugeot 206 used to randomly cut out on me. Thankfully it was usually when I was slowing down to approach a junction or something similar and not at 70mph. Still to this day cannot figure out what caused it, and the car used to restart immediately if I turned the igniti...

Bratwurst is about the only European foodstuff I would miss.

Lucky for me they are available from European Supermarkets who will continue to thrive in the UK post Brexit regardless.

JohnMac

We deserve to be slated, our performances have been well below survival standard at times. Even when we have won it has looked ugly.

We have a big job on to stay up this season!.

JohnMac

Tracking back is all well and good but when facing forwards his instinct now is to turn back.

Frustrates the hell out of me at times, he has the pace to go past many of the defenders he faces but not the application.

JohnMac

Several probably:

'Live in a house, a very big house, in the country'

JohnMac

He might be thick but his footballing brain was top notch in a Claret shirt!

JohnMac

He always has been in the mind of the Club.
Possibly the most consistent of the centre backs, Gibson exempt as he is as yet, untested.

JohnMac

Agreed, a more 'Burnley like' performance in the second half. I'm always less nervous when Kev Long starts in place of Tarky, *seriously. Him, Ben Mee and Charlie Taylor were excellent under pressure. Hope that is a line in the sand now. Edit * I hope it's because Tarky's been carrying an injury and...

JohnMac

I'll bet his opening line isn't

'Or reyt, do you think we'll stay up then'

JohnMac

That's not what happened though. Fowler said he tried to score the penalty, Seaman saved it and McAteer (I think) scored the rebound. For all the talk of how Fowler did the right thing Liverpool still scored. You are of course correct, funny how the mind distorts things with age. At the time watchi...

Amethyst Realm sort of says it all to me. Why aren't 'eccentrics' ever given a normal plain name?

JohnMac

I don't think Pope will progress once fit.

No basis, just a feeling he will be a bench warmer at best.

'Arry Winks sounds like a good old London boy, nothing the media love more.

JohnMac

Although he didn't appeal, neither did he protest it was not penalty. Back in the day the ball would have been trickled to the keeper or blasted wide.

Robbie Fowler was the last player I saw 'give the ball back' when he was facing Seaman and must have given him a signal.

JohnMac

Never forget his excellent performance at Wembley. Their appeal was a penalty all day when Walker was felled in the box.

No, we had our season in the sun, it won't be happening again.

Once the Premier League money follows the Big 6, the rest of us will be back to a bit of normality and we will still be bottom of the dosh league.

JohnMac

They will still be eliminated even if they win I reckon.

JohnMac

When Social Media became prominent all sorts of weirdo's and trolls appeared. As for this forum I'm not convinced they are all really Burnley fans per se but just enjoy being in the limelight. Thankfully most of the stuff posted on here has little impact, nor represents the views of the majority of ...

Looking at job opportunities as we prepared to enter the real world.

49 years later, sat on the sofa in my bathrobe in the afternoon recovering from a recent operation and subsequent infection.

I wonder where this kid will be in a few years or if we will ever hear of him again?

JohnMac

At least the heat is off James McClean now as yet another thread turns into the Imploding Turtle Roadshow.

JohnMac

The team cohesion is missing at the moment, the players are the same. I wonder if we have lost our shape/framework in pursuit of a more free flowing style and it has backfired in spectacular fashion.

JohnMac

I don't agree with him but respect his right to not wear a Poppy.

He has always maintained this stance but perhaps a dignified silence may have brought him more respect and understanding.

JohnMac

Leicester won the league, but it doesn't mean the likes of Danny Simpson and Wes Morgan were the best players in the country does it. It was simply a freak of a season where everything came together, they had a bit of luck and their rivals all had poor seasons. Similar to us last year. I think the ...

We need proven PL players to help steer us out of this malaise we find ourselves in. We've a coachload of these, they achieved 7th place in the PL last season. I never expected a repeat or a move to the next level as there isn't one for us. I also didn't expect a capitulation against some of the me...

Oh and whilst we weren't leaking goals for fun let's not forget where we finished in the 2 seasons Tom was No1.

JohnMac

Agreed and it is obvious Joe is showing better in training. Tom was criticised for not commanding his area, Pope took us up another level but could do little when the back 4 went on holiday around March/April. Hart may well end up as No1 long term, I don't consider that a major problem. It may not b...

JohnMac

The criticism directed towards Joe Hart is similar to that directed towards Tom Heaton around 2014/15.

JohnMac

The team need to let the emotion work for them but it will be really difficult.

I just hope everyone, especially our fans, treat the days with the reverance it deserves

JohnMac

Because he once stayed out on the lash in Hammerton Street until dawn. He was singing derisory songs about our near 'neigh' bours so is automatically exempt any critisism.

On his way for a bit of 'doggin'

I remember buying a Black Puma jumper in the 1970's, maybe from Cocker Sports. 8-) Anyway now the news has broken Tarks is carrying another injury perhaps we can see how limited we are in selections. He has probably been playing through pain for the cause whereas in hindsight missing Chelsea and Man...

About 5,000 whinging part time moaners for a start!

We are in the mix with 3 or 4 others, possibly no more.

It will need a massive turnaround soon because the goals conceded are going to become a problem longer term.

My word the clamour for Lionel Brady and Christiano Defour to return was funny.

This is beyond comical...

JohnMac

Sadly, we are running out of excuses now.

The football is poor, the team looks lost, individuals are under performing.

Walking for one hour on a treadmill at average speed 3.2mph, slope 7.5 and heart rate average 102 normally burns 850 calories + for me.
