"We go again"

Yes, that's because all clubs are obliged to fulfil their fixture requirements.

A Gerrardism: "We go again" doesn't seem grammatically correct me but is now used by all and sundry.

I've stopped following it regularly - which is morally wrong of me - but from the little I read it would seem Ukraine has very little chance of winning. The cost of the war for the EU and The States has become a huge burden. The huge impact of Zelensky travelling to capitals and speaking in Parliame...

The use of the present tense instead of the past conditional

Here's a few I've seen in recent months. In the Heat of the Night: you can feel the heat and racial hatred of the Deep South. All the cast were excellent but Rod Steiger topped for me and deserved his Oscar Mississippi Burning: Same place, same theme. KKK v Civil Rights' workers. Based on a true sto...

Tweedy has had a good season from what has been said in Tony's reports and going off stats. I presume he's an attacking midfield or is he a winger?

Not many English football managers speak four foreign languages or read John Updike.

One of the best all-rounders in my time of watching cricket. Very short Test career due to Apartheid but a superb performer for Gloucestershire for many years.

He's plain wrong not to play Muric and Benson unless they're guilty of misconduct in which case they shouldn't even be in the squad.

Every bloody weekend is grim. Last season was too good and this is bloody shite every match.

At least Charlie's fit again. Be back next match.

Long afternoon ahead.

No, none were in the squad.

And for 17 matches, not 19.

Hello Rowls,

Only just seen your long post.

I will read it through but I'd just like to ask you two questions if I may:

a) Have you ever spent time in or visited a psychiatric clinic?

b) Do you believe depression-related suicide can be drastically reduced if everybody follows your advice?

ecc

Crap news about Lyle. Just a crap bloody season.

ecc

More wrongdoing at Barcelona and more FFP related payments to reduce their squad budget - this is what happens when you persistently seek to flex/stretch rules and cut corners. They will delay by appealing again (this has been running for four years already) but one wonders what practice they have ...

Nope.
But a belief in a footballing miracle is all we have now mate.

Indeed.

Hi Clarets4me : thank's for taking it in good spirit. I don't follow rugby but know the difference between these two countries in rugby.

I used to follow football. I supported Burnley but I'm taking a sabbatical.

Alonso will probably be living in Southport again come the summer.

The first Bayer goal scorer is on loan from Bayern. I think our FA or Premier League outlawed that a decade or so ago - can't remember the player but I think it involved a newcastle striker scoring the winner against them whilst on loan for someone else. Bayern obviously allowed Stanisic to play ag...

"Maybe one player getting the use of an invisibility cloak for ten seconds after conceding."

LOL. Needed cheering up. Thanks for that.

Benson on the bench though.

It's just one sodding injury after another.

2-0.

But they won't go down. Whatever people might say, the stats show SD has steadied that ship (unfortunately).

Did well to win with a young team and on the back of the FAYC disappointment.

Bet that went down well with the locals.

Not necessarily but at least we can hope that any decisions made will be for the good of the country and not just the usual chosen few.

Certainly won't change with the Tories in power.

"For some I know having the opportunity to watch us pit our wits against the top players is what football is all about. Personally, the gulf in quality and resources makes games like tomorrow seem rather tired and pointless."

That's where the PL and CL has got football.

Don't know how badly injured Lewis Richardson is but really would like to see him out on loan. He'll be 21 soon - amazingly - and he really needs to be playing with pros.

Just seen this photo (see link). A beer bottle thrown at Wolves player Tommy Doyle. If that had hit him, he'd probably be in hospital. For that alone, West Brom must be punished and not just a fifty quid fine.

Would they be allowed to play in the Champions league of they have the same owners as City?

Undoubtedly. City do what they want.

They have a Ukranian lad, Anton Dvobyk, scoring a lot of goals in his first season in a major league.

At the top of the list with the most "unItalian" of names (he comes from the German-speaking South Tyrol area in Northern Italy), Jannik Sinner has just beaten Daniil Medvedev in the Australian Open. The last Italian male to win a GS was Adriano Panatta in Paris in 1976.

My childhood was watching a raft of All-Time Great Teams.

One could say they overproduced for twenty years.

Michael Holding and Viv Richards were the best to watch. The former was elegance personified, the latter the most exciting batsman I've ever seen.

Ashwin, hopping onto the back foot, uses the middle of his bat again.

Most of the ground is in shadow now. An England fan in a Burnley shirt fiddles nervously with his bucket hat.

Well done, Michael.

I really don't know how the SPL rates compared with L1. Put 28 Feb in your diary: Dundee play at Parkhead.

If Amdouni or Foster get injured we are back to 34 year old Jay Rod as backup.

Obafemi must be so far from VKs plans that he would need a HS2 link to get back in them...!

I think we need to ask Alice, I think she'll know...!

My wife doesn't know anything about football.

Was hoping he'd go to an L2 team but, whatever, it will be a proper test for him.

Wish the lad all the best.

Well done, lads!

When you're winning fans don't say too much about some signings not working out. However, when you're losing every single decision is fair game for criyicism.

I'd agree if we've given up all hope of staying up (which I haven't - I am too much of an optimist).
