Only been to Oakwell 3 times, but we've won 2 and drawn 1. All about timing.

I wouldn't like to estimate the number of goals I've seen us concede at City, old and new.

The number of northern working class turkeys voting for Christmas is depressing. Get off your knees for two minutes, Johnson and his type don't give a **** about any of you.

Derby County in the 1st cup game I think.

Charlie Austin was the man for headers, probably at his best with us.

NottsClaret

Not sure I need more communication or information.

A man in front of a telly in an office somewhere is slowly forming a subjective opinion on an incident I've just seen myself. I know that already. Them telling me in more detail isn't going to make the moment any less devoid of emotion or passion.

Seems a bit OTT from Southgate, they've already kissed and made up. It's not an office job, stuff like this happens all the time.

Good to see the knives out so quick for England's best player.

It’s absolutely ridiculous now. Did you see the walking poppy on the pitch yesterday? It’s like everyone’s trying to out-do each other. Just another choreographed day now, like Bonfire night or halloween. The graves of the lads who died are there all year round, and there's always books in the libr...

We've had a few threads on Japan, every time we get contributions from people who've been lucky enough to visit, enthusing about it and offering advice on where to go or what to do. And every time you get one or two weirdos, pretending to give a s**t about a grudge their ancestors may or may not hav...

Agree about the planning. I don’t normally on holiday, but it’s a huge country on the other side of the world with a million things to see. You don’t want to miss out, which you will if you don’t have a plan. Definitely get a JR pass, the trains are as you’d imagine. You can go to Nagano or even Kyo...

Afraid that applies to all of us mate.

He's right you know. We should be signing young, creative, quick players. Who can immediately make an impact at a mid-table Premier League side. And who don't cost too much. And who fit within our wage structure. And who find Burnley more attractive than 19 other clubs. Can't believe we aren't doing...

You can't tell people to be enthused about a sport. If you like watching cars race around and think Lewis Hamilton is great, that's cool. Don't get mad if most people aren't that fussed though.

I have got a new lease of life with football at the minute. I have got a season ticket at my local team Clitheroe this season. It’s brilliant, good old honest football, we’re doing great this season also... I still have a season ticket at Burnley but have found myself enjoying watching Clitheroe mo...

When Corbyn loses his 2nd election, does he go then? Or is still the electorate that’s wrong?

NottsClaret

Happy Brexit Day everyone.

NottsClaret

Tough choice this time. I dislike Corbyn, can’t stand Momentum and the people he’s surrounded himself with and I’m pretty sure he’ll lose his 2nd election and the Labour Party will end up in disarray. That said, my local candidate seems a decent sort. And if it’s a choice between that or being one o...

Not watched it yet, but hitting that big iceberg has to be up there.

Left after the 4th, which I thought was loyal enough, snubbing the accepted ‘three goal rule’.

Same. A bit of bemusement too. Whatever it was, it wasn’t solemn respect. But then we were watching a football match at the time.

NottsClaret

With the average age of our support base increasing, this is only going to become more frequent. Always find it a really weird thing to request or partake in.

Do they make the same requests at the local supermarket they used to use? Or the bus that took them to work everyday? Why a football match?

Love this, from the day Johnson got the PM job.

NottsClaret

A.I. algorithms to decide if someone tripped up or not? We've already lost the plot with VAR. It's just a sport, a way for people to keep fit and compete. And at the top level, a form of entertainment. That's it though.. nobody dies or gets locked up if we get an offside wrong. We're losing way more...

NottsClaret

I'm quite the bleeding heart liberal when it comes to the justice system but I'd happily bring back hanging for littering.

OK, we'll get a bit of collateral damage along the way with people like the OP, but it's a price worth paying I reckon.

NottsClaret

That's grim.

For all the angst it causes, does anyone ever actually not get a ticket eventually?

NottsClaret

Get her back, get her on telly. Maybe I'm a Celeb or something.

NottsClaret

Hendrick not getting a penalty at Huddersfield, and Arsenal getting one of their offside last minute handballs is 100% preferable to having VAR. I'd rather enjoy football and be grumpy every now and again about a bad decision.

NottsClaret

VAR is not going to get better than it is now. This is it, the extent of the 'technology' is a man watching a TV expressing an opinion. As we've seen so far this season, the frustration and 'injustice' is there as much as it ever was. The downside now is that watching games live is a bit crap. Peopl...

I'm sure it had no effect on Saturday, that's just VAR being s**t as usual. But I'm on board with taking out the mawkish tributes every two minutes. I honestly can't see the connection with an individual grieving for a personal loss and thousands of strangers with the same leisure pursuit pretending...

I noticed him last season when I went to the Wednesday v QPR game. Stood out in a sea of mediocrity.

NottsClaret

Some like it, some don’t. I’m not as arsed about watching Premier League football anymore. Nobody died if you got a decision ‘wrong’ but every moment now is a bit less exciting. That’s cool, but it’s not for me. It’s as boring as rugby all of a sudden.

NottsClaret

Honestly prefer watching my non league side now, purely down to VAR. I’ll still go to Burnley for family/ social reasons but the game with VAR leaves me cold.

And I was saying this before it came in, let alone today’s events. It’s just for geeks, stat weirdos and arm chair morons.

Have you been drinking Turtle? I can't even work out what you're trying to say today. Honestly.

And you people think i'm naive. How are you going to have people reproduce less? We're already close to falling below replacement rate of reproduction in the west, and the people reproducing the most aren't the ones causing the climate to boil our planet.

Long story short - there's **** all you can do about population growth without genocide, and we're not going to do genocide. You don't need genocide, just reproduce a bit less.

at least they are making a stand, most of us are apathetic slobs who just sit back and take it. You're right, and I was all with them.

Bizarre. If they're against public transport, what are they suggesting? Everyone stays at home?

Obviously it's just two guys here, but this is really damaging, they need to police themselves better or they'll lose support quick.
