We do and don't expect a penny, unlike so many in society
who expect allowances, benefits and the like for "caring"

No wonder the country is a bit messed up

Is there any need for that btw Baz?

Times change and people do things differently these days

It was bad enough with child care costs when mine were very little

Without grandparent help it would have been impossible, and its even worse now

Not everyone is lucky enough to have grandparents who can help, and not everyone is lucky enough to have grandparents full stop

we were saying that last summer and again in January - it was thought early evening was a good slot, seemingly not - could just be that Back to the Future is too old of a reference point for the social media generation

Genuinely scary that Back to the Future is now too old for kids to get

Think we will stick with the current plan of asking anyone in the Whats app group if they want the tickets when people can't make it

I'd rather a mate got it for nowt than this

All the media was done yesterday.

Does that mean they are announcing today you reckon?

Lancasterclaret

What sort of challenge in the premier league do people think we can realistically mount?

I mean, there has to be some reality coming in here!

Maybe the Club have missed the opportunity of offering 2/3/5 year ST's.

Maybe

I think the current strategy is working out fine though to get these sorts of results

We are going to be playing every home in front of a full home crowd, and thats going to be great

Lancasterclaret

Its a bit of a surreal experience being in this situation

Its fantastic, but we need to be doing it when we've had a season where its not been as good

That will be the challenge

Something to do with Star Wars

Left back and an all action centre midfielder and we are good to go

Not bad news at all for England if its doing that on Day 2

He has started following Burnley on Instagram so something is happening, or he is winding everyone up.

Big fan of the transfer reveal videos apparently

Lancasterclaret

Selling players who realistically aren't ready for the level we are now isn't the worst strategy in the world One thing we appear to be a lot better at is recognising that if we can sell someone who isn't going to feature, then we should £2 million sounds like a good deal (though would presume that ...

It wasn't taken as an insult.
I'm just surprised that anyone, no matter which generation they're from, can be all arsey about something as harmless as these videos

Some don't like them

Lots of stuff I don't like but these videos are certainly not one of those things!

Lancasterclaret

Hey, I'm at that generation (vintage Claret so to speak) and I think the reveal videos are grrrrrreat, as Tony the Tiger used to say when I was in the 'every other one' Loads on here are, and you are all different but these videos are not aimed at you (or me for that matter!)

Lancasterclaret

Did they ever have any ideas in the first place? I appreciate that they're aimed at the 'Tik Tok' generation, but even so I've had the misfortune of seeing 3 or 4 of these 'announcement' videos and not only in terms of what could (very loosely) constitute 'content' but also (even more loosely) 'pro...

Lancasterclaret

But there are fans on their forum saying he'll be worth £30 million by this time next year, and therefore incredulous that this £2million release clause was (apparently) in his contract. Its just reality for us smaller clubs though The longer we can hold off dropping to their level the better, but ...

They seem too rational these days

If Philips played for Coventry he'd be worth £1.2 billion in the eyes of their fans

Pretty sure Hamer will leave this window

I'm not sure he's what we need, but I don't know who else is coming into midfield either so happy enough with this

I suspect he'll have to go abroad to countries with, er, a more "1970s" view of this kind of thing

Have the BFC media team come back from their holidays yet?

If things carry on like this, they’ll just be doing one video clip and introducing all the new signings as a five-a-side team.

Going to be a series of films

First one is provisionally titled

Total fee €18m so around £15.5m Inc bonuses.

Obviously we won't know what those bonuses are, but looks a much more realistic fee for us

Disappointed that one of our guys didn't use the username "SwissToni"

Lancasterclaret

I didn't say that he wasn't still a good player, but his form dipped late in the season and he lost his "shooting boots", so having someone like Redmond available to come in for a few games to rest him would have been ideal (IMO). I thought that he'd dropped initially at first, but then I watched s...

He looked good for us in our systems, as a 2nd striker with a free role or wide striker in a 3. He's not a winger and not a sole striker. There's already mumblings of him not suiting how Southampton play. Yeah, that might well be what finally sorts this out If Martin doesn't want to use that system...

Lancasterclaret

Which Zaroury? The one who was magnificent for the first half of the season, or the one who looked tired and short of confidence (for the most part) in the last quarter of the season? I think the idea that Zaroury wasn't still a very good player for the 2nd half of the season is more than a little ...

I’m not sure. Yes, last year we bought cheap (we didn’t have any money) This year we seem to be around the £12 - £15 mill mark (Beyer, Trafford, Coulibaly, O’Shea and some of the others we have reportedly interest in). Not Cheap. Or free older players (Townsend, Redmond) with no resale value. Now m...

So that rules out Townsend and Redmond then

Not sure how that makes any sense when both are on frees

Townsend has no resale value, Redmond possibly still has, especially if he can return to the levels he used to be at
