Couldn’t believe that Everton was still a wooden stand (never been on Upper Tier before). I would have thought that all those stands would have been condemned after the Bradford fire. Seeing we had all seater stadiums thrust upon us around the same time. Wasn’t there some allegations around a number...

Poor City? All the oil money in Arabia couldn't buy what Liverpool did tonight. I was being patronising. I know we take the p1ss at Anfield about the lack of atmosphere but at least they do get the atmosphere on nights like last night. City's plastic hordes can barely get a song together home or aw...

Poor City, they’ll retain the league, do the treble, spend 500 squillion and no one is going to remember anything about this season apart from that game.

Suarez might be leaving Barca in the summer, looking at Barnes to replace him!!!

Exactly Rowls, not seeing Burnley lift that trophy on the day took a shine of it for me. I wasn't able to make Burnley on a working day, I live too far away and therefore missed it altogether. You missed nothing. It was a real shambles on the day. An hour long karaoke from Ali Campbell singing Burn...

If we could persuade Jimmy to come back to the Turf I’m sure he would receive the greatest of welcomes. In fact we should get as many of the 1994 Wembley winning squad that we can to come back. Even though we came back down quickly that season gave the club, and more importantly the fans the belief ...

It’s all run by that geezer Barry Hearn? I went to the Mosconi Cup a couple of years ago, they cut short our session because it looked like Europe was going to win without the final session. The crowd were treated awfully, no info, no real explanation. They just turned the house lights up and said t...

Oh that is such bad news. I was only chatting with him the other week before the Cardiff game. Get Well Soon Willie.

I thought you couldn’t do a quick admin turn around if the money is owed to HRMC. They’ll shut the whole thing down. Other creditors are different but the taxman always wants his cut.

I was impressed Kevin Bridges got so far.

Derby? Frank Lampard's Derby surely?

claret wizard

Not seen that, but I will when I have 30 mins spare. Though a long way away from the atmosphere of the original LS, and having many faults, we did seem to show some ambition by building these stands. Whilst not ideal they are at least imposing structures. Turf Moor dominates the townscape as you com...

I'm not getting Bolton sentiment stuff either. There might be a few decent Bolton fans who would have mourned the Clarets in '87, but not many. My experiences of every trip to either Burnden or Horwich (not Bolton) have invariably involved Bolton idiots fighting or threatening to. What they did unde...

It will sell out.

That entry in the accounts that always looks shite compared to other clubs, ‘other’, ‘match day revenue’ or ‘merchandise’, this is how other clubs get that number up.

Great to see.

It’s £2.50 a pint if you buy before 90 mins before kickoff. Then goes up to £3. Watch the earlier game on big screen and stack a few up.

He’s been called far worse by Chelsea fans this season, are they being reported as well?

No takers then.

Spare ticket in the Courtfield in Earls Court. I’ll check on here before going into ground.

claret wizard

Pubs round Earls Court are fine. Uber or bus down to the ground, or a 20 min walk. The night of the League cup game I ducked into a wine bar across the road from the shed end entrance for a beer. Was made very welcome though I was sans colours. I didn’t go back afterwards......

The escape Wilson made from behind the green, on the first attempt, with side, almost dead weight but still safe, across the table twice, through four colours was one of the best shots I’ve ever seen.

claret wizard

The rule is very clear at the moment. If any part of the body that you can score a goal from is in front then it's offside. This "gap" thing will just move the problem. A clear gap, so do you include the arms? What about a trailing leg? Or a complete air gap between them? What about the defenders ar...

Sorting the cricket field concourse would be easy enough. Access to it needs to be sorted as well. So there needs to be an exit at the side above the players tunnel. The current one way in and out causes much of the problem. Then they need to extend the covered area between the Longside and CFS and ...

You can get the Oyster cards set up for young persons travel at tube ticket office, I’ve done ours on the day and they set it for a week or so. Then the card reverts to adult. One thing to remember is that oyster is pre pay, so to get best value you need to know what you’re going to spend and only t...

I assume you'll need to jailbreak it. Why not go down the android route, that OS is designed to allow the scenario you're suggesting.

claret wizard

Not sure I agree. While I don’t think the Rose incident was a penalty it was different to the Barnes and Ake ones. In those instances the arm was by the side and that will be interpreted as a natural position. Rose’s arm was in the air and that will be interpreted as ‘making himself big’. Try slidi...

claret wizard

And there we go, Danny Rose just now, never a penalty and given by VAR in the Spurs v City game. That’ll be the norm next season. Both the incident against Wolves by Barnes, and the Ake one on Sat would be given as well.

claret wizard

What? Do you mean the Barnes shot that hit Ake on the arm and went narrowly wide (2nd half)? That was never stonewall, and everyone (except you obviously because you saw it as "stonewall") would be up in arms on here if it had been awarded against us. It's the sort of decision that has occasionally...

Google maps detoured us through the New Forest and we joined the roadworks right at the end. No added time, 90 mins from Heathrow.

Another BMW story. I paid for the warranty, I'd seen the reports on the timing belt issues on the BMW N47 diesel engines. Within 6 months I had a new engine and avoided at £12k bill when the crank snapped. Also if you intend to sell the car on having the warranty still running will increase the resi...

Tackling in midfield is no longer a required skill in the Premier League. Tackling in defence almost equally so. You could see that by the crowds teaction when a tackle is won. Tarks on Sat had 3 or 4 tackles won which will be more than some CM in 10 matches. Much more stock put in moving players in...

It would be a tough competition for worst colonialist atrocities and Belgium in the Congo would certainly be a top contender. But on balance I think Germany in Namibia would win it. Britain in Kenya would also be up there. Old Leopold is estimated to have killed somewhere between 1,000,000 and 15,0...

Whatever way you look at this, it ain’t going to look too good for the Belgium. Their actions in the Congo are probably the worst colonial crimes commited.

With you on this. I’m in the CRICKET FIELD STAND, feel like ripping the red branding stuff down, but they’d ban me. We absolutely should have thrown them out after the Leeds game.
