So why have him in the squad if he’s less than impressed with him in training? No matter which you look at it, to persevere with Pickford on the back of his form last season really takes some believing. The keepers are someone who had a poor season, a young guy with one season in the PL behind him ...

Siddo

Are you Southgate in disguise? :D No, just stating my opinion on Pope and trying to give reasons why Southgate is still choosing Pickford over Pope. Too many on here rave about Pope and I'm not quite sure why. The stat isn't mine, it was in the Times this week. I have posted before that when Southg...

Siddo

There was a statistic in the Times mid week that showed how many points each Premier league keeper had saved their team last season. Henderson was either top or near the top with around 8 points. Pope was minus 3 points. Clearly from this stat, the defence is what makes Pope look good. Granted he is...

Given the large pool of "less fortunate" he has to choose from. You'd like to think he might have given the gig to a homeless squadie, who has put his life on the line for our country, who'll be huddled in a shop door way , again, tonight....... You have proved my point perfectly. You might as well...

Siddo

And there we have it. Someone helps someone less fortunate than them, but because the person is an immigrant the racists on here lose it.

Because that is exactly what it is, racism. Embarrassing.

The best ball was the Frido A. 5 bob from most news paper shops . Excellent weight, flew true when struck and you could bend it like Garrincha with the outside of your foot.
Also, the pimples made it brilliant for keepers to catch without gloves.
Best all round plastic ball ever.

For the last 2 decades a good proposition of the Barnoldswick workforce have nigh on worked to rule, purposely did just enough and never above and beyond and took a decent wage for it. More unforgivingly, they would make it impossible for the lads who wanted to give 100% with a ‘we don’t do things ...

Southgate is a gawky bucktoothed rent boy, and little more than a nodding dog for a third rate FA.

With his wobbly adams apple and manic wonky grin he looks for all the world like a product of incest from the Munster family.

And in one post we can all see why we are called Dingles.

Siddo

Not really, as this has been on Twitter for weeks.

Siddo

It seems there is another u turn on masks in schools. Are the government over cautious or just not very good?

Siddo

I suppose you can only judge their performance against previous governments responses to covid19, Expected A level results and Brexit. Personally the boris tenure so far has has seemed a bit "Corbyn lite" for me. But ill await confirmation from the op or whatever on scores relating to what makes it...

Siddo

Possibly the funniest thread so far this year.
Only an observation, but I am willing to bet that every person getting upset about the possibility of the removal of a couple of songs sung by drunken toffs once a year voted leave.

Siddo

Probably won't, I've not seen some close relatives either, although we have done some visits and window/driveway chats. I'll continue to not visit any of my family whilst this virus is very prevalent around Burnley. However I sat in a pub yesterday with 30 random people I'd never met before, I used...

Siddo

Wasn't Brexit all about the UK controlling its own borders? You know, taking back control? Now we are upset about a few desperate people risking their lives for a better life on 30 odd quid a week until they get a job. This town with a Tory MP and voting leave is hardly going to give a reasonable re...

Siddo

I've said this before, but the Napoli game was shown on the news at the time and the penalty wasn't actually saved. Harry went the right way but the ball hit the post, he didn't touch it. I agree with the comments that say it must be a performance you have personally seen. I've never seen the Matrix...

Siddo

Looking at this government's recent performance, some critics from all sides of the political spectrum are highly critical of the government. What do you honestly think?

Siddo

Why should the onus be on a non believer? I'm not the one demanding loyalty, money or to cause harm in the name of something I don't believe in. People are given a choice to convert or die in this day and age.... In the US Atheists are barred from taking public office still, in some states. They'd ...

Song by Faithless...

Come back when you can prove a god exists.

But that is what faith is . Believing in something that you can't see.

Churchgoers could say you come back when you can prove that He doesn't exist.

Siddo

I'm the same, I know people who will attend church for specific reasons like a wedding, funeral etc but no one I personally know attends regularly. I know a lot more people who attend Mosques though. At some point people will move on from this need to believe in a god I hope. Why do you hope for th...

I quite literally don't know a single human being personally who attends a church.

You must move in very small circles. There are many posters on here that regularly attend church, when open of course.

Siddo

A good, underrated player for us. It is clear from this message that he heard all of the unfair criticism.

I think the fans reaction to him was instrumental in him not signing.

I for one think we will miss him.

The Penalty save from Goal machine Vardy... is good enough for me.

Good save P, but world class?

I am 100% certain that the Napoli penalty hit the post. Harry went the right way but didn't get a touch.

Siddo

The Napoli penalty hit the post. Harry didn't get a touch.
The best save by a mile is Heaton's from Austin.
I have yet to see Pope do a world class save. The 1st, 2nd and 5th at City were all saveable.

Siddo

So they are staying according to the title?

Siddo

The word "whoosh" springs to mind having read some of the replies on here.

At high school it was the day that the regular icecream van man came back after a fortnights holiday to discover another van had taken his pitch. As you can imagine, the gig was a goldmine. A hour and a half over lunch time must have paid his mortgage. This was an official role by the way. His van ...

Boys from the Blackstuff next to go ?

The difference is that BFTBS employed black actors. The others had white actors pretending to be black.
Obviously times have changed, but not in racist Burnley.

Siddo

This is a really lazy argument, and there’s a far bigger picture being missed. Paedophiles, kidnappers, operate on a global scale in networks of thousands and millions. A cautious estimate here in the U.K. is that there are approx 400k sexual predators involved (in some capacity) of the abuse of ch...

I knew Mick for years. He was a great guy and always smiling. He once told me at work about 20 years ago, that he had been asked to referee a behind closed doors first team game against Blackpool . He said the pace was incredibly fast, and he struggled. With that smile on his face he said that they ...

Just by banning say over 60’s with health conditions as these are an at risk group would help .

Is he related to Keith lard

On a serious note no. I just know a few that work in Leeds at the head office.

I am pretty sure he is at head office and works in procurement.

He has a great sense of humour and would appreciate the Keith Lard tag.

Thanks dsr. Was wrong on the story councillors then :o What’s the Socialist Labour Party? Not having a go at you, but you weren't wrong. You assumed you knew the situation, didn't check or do any research, and posted what you thought was correct. And that I believe, is the problem with social media...

For those commending Jet2 would you mind sending me an email to that effect? I’d love to pass on the comments. Really impressed with Jet 2.

Before you post, why don't you do some simple research.

We will have to disagree, Rileybobs. Did you know that you'd typed "mid-spoke" rather than "mis-spoke?" Have you ever used an autocue?

A fact I came across recently was that only 15% of UK soldiers actually fired a gun in action in WW2. Really surprised me. I think the amazing amount raised shows that the UK public were desperate to help the NHS but had no real vehicle to do it until the media picked up on Tom. The real heroes here...

Just off the top of my head... The financial help put in place, the provision of new hospitals I guess you'll come back with... It all should have been done earlier...
