He's not daft enough to go there.

Why do they always sack the manager and not those who appointed the manager. If they have changed their minds after 12 games you have to question the recruitment process in the first place. Football is a ridiculous business. Most Championship clubs are skint but they signed him on a 3 and a half yea...

Human error is a fact of (sporting) life. Fully agree Boatshed. If "the game" seriously wanted to improve decision making it could start by heavily punishing players for cheating. Every team basically sets out to con the ref, us included, and yet there is absolute uproar when a ref gets something w...

Absolutely nothing wrong with the concept of VAR.
It needs re-defining and ridding of these incompetent officials

I fundamentally disagree. Personally I think there is a lot wrong with the concept.

Can't believe David Duval got a mention. O)k he got a 59 but he has to be one of the most boring golfers on the planet. Have you ever seen him smile?

Phil the Thrill or Seve for me. Both great to watch.

This thread's like one of those local history forums where people look at the past through rose tinted spectacles, saying how wonderful it all was. A past that never existed. Warnock is an absolute **** and always will be. Where's all this revisionist stuff coming from? Just because he's been out of...

So if we sign Haaland ,and I say he’s better than Jay Rod ,I’m having a dig at Jay ,get real,& if I say Kompany is better than Dyche ,then I’m disrespecting Dyche ,********.

If you wrote the post in the way you approached this one then yes.

welsbyswife

I love threads like this. Shows a lack of respect and appreciation to 3 players who have given the club excellent service, then gets all upset when someone replies to him claiming he is being reasonable Classic UTC thread. Some people seem unable to enjoy a new player without using it as a way to h...

welsbyswife

Surely they already have someone lined up? If not it's just another example of the mismanagement at Everton. Panic. Sack manager. Repeat.

I think Both Math or Maths are both correct, Math being the correct abbreviation for mathematics.
I’ll give you wether,

I think you're about 15% right Clive

welsbyswife

So we have 5 players on loan (100%) Each player therefore is 20% of our loan total 90% suggests 4 and a half of our players won't be here next season. Which half of a player you think we will keep? Now managers. 20 managers (100%) each being 5%. So by top 15% you are saying VK will be in the top 3 ...

Plus the standard of managers are next level as well ( VK still in top 15% of those though).

How do you calculate such a precise figure of manager 'levels'? Complex algorithm?

Don't remember any Brian Clough players messing with their hair. 2 styles permitted; short back and sides or bald!

Honestly, the traffic management is cr@p. I left 10 minutes before the end to get away quickly for a 2 hour drive home. Stuck waiting for the traffic lights to start working for 20 minutes. Just got home at 12.30am. Really happy about the result but thinking it’s not worth travelling to see evening...

He does take the wrong option at times and can be frustrating. The dive wasn't good at all. Don't like to see it. But if he can work on those elements his finishing is excellent.

welsbyswife

They're a very strong, physical and well organised side, with a fair degree of talent in there too. They got in front early doors and we were definitely up against it. Their downfall ultimately was not pressing home their advantage and sitting back, especially second half, trying to protect what th...

welsbyswife

Earlier on in the season I was thinking that although we were playing far better football than previous teams under Dyche that this side would be too naive and get ripped apart in the Prem. But I think we are getting better defensively, notwithstanding the soft goal tonight. That second half really ...

He made it look like the simplest thing in the world. Superb

Sign of genius, making something impossibly difficult look really easy! He is unbelievable at free kicks.

Covid had a big impact on the Championship, less money to spend.

In reality there was no money to spend before Covid. It was make believe finance. All Covid did was bring that into sharp focus. It was going to come crashing down at some point, Covid or no Covid.

Presumably we add in a sell on clause for players like this?

welsbyswife

Bizarre but Burnley fans are in no position to cast judgement considering we have Barnes on our books. It is baffling why they don't either employ a chauffeur, or simply take a cab home. So Ashley Barnes being caught drink driving means that no Burnley fan can pass judgement on anyone else drink dr...

welsbyswife

His manager said he had to be playing in a top division to get into the World Cup squad. He was up front about that. The Watford game maybe he was frustrated with his own performance? Or the way the team was playing? It’s one game. What he he done to warrant such a reaction from Burnley fans? I don...

Or a hybrid, the 'docu-drama'!

They are the worst of both worlds in my view!

Sounds like you'd be looking for a documentary Hipper!

welsbyswife

I haven't seen it but I just read the summary of the first series. Our heroine seems a typical drama creation loaded with issues - raped, divorced, suicide, living with a sister who is an alcoholic heroin addict..... That's why it it's called a drama! Would be extremely dull if all drama had to mir...

No doubt about it Kenton. I can see why they were under pressure to change even though I don't agree with it. I actually don't mind Sue Smith, she is knowledgeable and can string a sentence together which is surely a must you would think. But Clinton Morrison, Sherwood and Jamie Mackie just struggle...

Stelling is still very good but the standard of pundits is nowhere near the same.

I have Barry Live a very early double album, before he sold out to schmaltz. It is excellent.

I miss my mum more than words can say but she was a big fan of Barry Manilow. No amount of nostalgia could make me listen to that

I wish I could offer a contrary viewpoint but he was shocking yesterday. Clearly had done no homework, offered no analysis, was dour, could barely talk and didn’t do a great job of hiding his misery at us doing well. The lack of homework is due to the arrogance. He doesn't for a minute think he nee...

welsbyswife

Not sure but he does have a deathly colour about him. Doesn't look well at all.

welsbyswife

I've said it before but such a loss of young men is a huge problem for a country already facing a demographic crisis of an elderly population, outward migration and low birth rate. In the long run this war will only speed up Russia's decline regardless of whether Ukraine is defeated.

Deepdale, Sherpa Van Trophy Northern Area Final second leg is up there for me. Seems daft now but after what had happened in previous seasons it was massive at the time and the atmosphere was amazing. Great result as well "We're going to Wembley Oghani".....

If you opt for Norfolk, Kelling Heath Holiday Park in Holt near Sheringham is very nice. Caravans and lodges in a lovely woodland setting. Indoor and outdoor pool on site plus facilities but it's not chavvy like some holiday parks can be.

welsbyswife

I don't agree. And the context in which it is done by certain posters on here is always to run down the old regime in comparison to the new regime. It's toxic and unnecessary. Both were great for Burnley. Some people just can't move on.

welsbyswife

Why do people feel the need to enjoy our current success at the expense of having a pop at previous players? "No offence to Ben Mee, he was great for us but he's not as good as x and can't do what y can do". No need for it and wouldn't like to see these people when they were trying to offend.

The best pies ever on a ground was from the Bee Hole kiosk 1985 ish to 1992 ish. I expect the pies were the same in other parts of the ground. :) If you got on early they used to stack the crates of pies up against the wall outside the kiosk near the bogs waiting for the shop to open. Never ate ano...

Tidy player doing very well for us. Remain to be convinced he is mobile and athletic enough for the Premier League but hopefully he'll get the chance to prove me wrong.

welsbyswife

No question - he played very well tonight. A huge improvement over recent games. I'm not sure people would have been saying that against better opposition if we were 2-0 down after 10 mins due to his sloppy passing. He did improve and play well after that but if and when we go up we won't get the c...

welsbyswife

What was he talking about at the end saying we get a lot of stick for having a rubbish fan base? Who from? Our away support is as good as any in this league. He's ok is the lad but it would do my head in if I had to sit next to him twittering away and filming everything.

Why anyone would want to be anonymous is a mystery.
