Decent first stage result, Simon had me worried.

Will you also be posting unsuccessful betslips? Just for a bit of balance? Gamblers tend not to I've noticed!!

Is it just me who loves carnation milk with a fruit pie? Preferably goosberry but apple also good. Hangover from my gran's wartime cooking no doubt but I love the stuff.

welsbyswife

Roger Eli vs Peter Shilton. Get it out wide, perfect cross, bullet header. Old school. Don't see enough goals like that any more for my liking!

welsbyswife

I don't need to spell it out. Anyone who knows what they are talking about would find it plain and clear.

welsbyswife

I know it's a forum and therefore a free for all but I wish people who don't have a clue what they are talking about would think before posting. Christ you read some rubbish on here.

Classic James Bond baddy. Played the hard man but **** off with his tail between his legs at the end.

welsbyswife

Not sure if anyone watched the Adam Curtis doc on the fall of the Soviet Union and the rise of Putin. But it was so chaotic that even with a few years of stability you had do doubt whether a lot of Putin's regime was just bluff. And it seems to be. He's looking like what he is now. A thug and a gang...

Crossed my mind that Putin and his cook had concocted this to try to draw the west into open war… giving Putin the moral ground in Eastern perspectives.

How would an internal struggle in Russia draw the West into open war? Completely counterintuitive.

welsbyswife

So if the military weren't pulling up any trees to stop this march on Moscow where does this leave the Ukraine situation? How motivated are they to follow Putin's orders? What happens to Wagner troops after the backdown?

welsbyswife

Well it’s fair to say that JBG is playing a lot more now than he was. Or are u just being a smart arse Bit of both to be fair. But there is a tendency to credit VK with absolutely everything. It might just be that JBG has had terrible luck with injuries and is now having a decent run. Maybe his luc...

JBG had issues with injuries and staying fit. Kompany and Co appears to have sorted that out … so if Larsen has been injured in past I’m confident we can get him fit and get best out him

So Kompany has sorted JBGs injuries out as well. No end to the guys talents.

welsbyswife

Not sure how us piling in would have helped to make Russia more stable. More likely it would have had the opposite effect and reinforced their view that the west is against them, playing into the hands of the nut jobs even more.

welsbyswife

Wonder what level of contact our intelligence services have had with Wagner? If we have any understanding of what the guy would do if he toppled Putin. Get the sense that Russia really is on a knife edge.

welsbyswife

I think the best possible outcome is a protracted struggle which draws Russia away from Ukraine where the army are eventually victorious. And the generals then take power realising that Putin's time is up allowing for a transition of power. Wishful thinking maybe but all of those in the military wil...

Classic messageboard stuff. Macca is overrated

. Puts into context some of the anti-Dyche sentiment on here! Some people refuse to accept greatness just so they can try to appear clever!

welsbyswife

You're not going to bed anytime soon Lancaster

welsbyswife

Either way it's a huge development surely. The Russians are already spread along a very long defensive line without taking Wagner troops out of the equation.

welsbyswife

Freddie stole the show Spiral. Whether you liked Queen or not his charisma was unbelievable.

welsbyswife

Is there any chance at all that this could be manufactured to give an excuse for Russian troops to withdraw? i.e. in order to quell insurrection at home? A way of pulling back but saving face?

I trust VK fully but I hope we don’t sign Lokonga, has looked miles off it so far in the PL.

So you trust him fully but with caveats that you know best?

welsbyswife

Wouldn't seem a natural fit to me in terms of style of play.

Over Christmas/New Year period I watched the first two series again. The plan was to then watch series three but for whatever reason I didn’t. I’ve finally watched it this week and then read through the whole of this thread. I thought it was superb television, brilliantly written and brilliantly ac...

He did the commentary on our Sherpa Van final with Andy Gray in the very early days of satellite football coverage with BSB.

Still got the video. It's quite a high quality production compared to the end of season highlights videos that were available at the time!

On a Monday night I am known as The Burnley Baresi so no, not cringey at all.

The Marsden Micky Quinn more like.

welsbyswife

we have been promoted since 8th April some 68 days ago so we will have loads of irons in the fire but VK in a ideal world would like any new signings ASAP as he is so particularly of integrating the squad and I presume because of the way our pre season has been planned any new player/s even if sign...

Indeed it is. It seems to have been wrapped up forever but it’s a superb building.

Same architect designed Colne Town Hall! Sir Alfred Waterhouse.

welsbyswife

I had exactly the same issue. In the end I just cancelled the direct debit payment with my bank so the money wouldn't come out. The website is truly terrible.

welsbyswife

So no chance I'm stumping up for a membership until they indicate that they have got their act together. Which they clearly haven't judging by the details published so far.

welsbyswife

I ended up cancelling my Clarets + subscription because whenever I needed to listen to the commentary it wouldn't recognise that I was paying for the service. Despite the money coming out of my account. Customer service was shockingly bad so I just cancelled it in the end. I can live without Phil Bi...

welsbyswife

You would think that before putting it in their website, the club would actually test the bessafe to see if it is clear, unambiguous and easily understood. Very poor output indeed, on this occasion. Who manages this department? Get some processes in place! Spot on. What they have put on the website...

welsbyswife

One thing is for certain and that's middle class people moralising won't change anything.

welsbyswife

Not sure if it was intentional but you make it sound quite kinky Ian. There might be a surge in interest.....

welsbyswife

Looking from the outside it seems she has a very pushy father. Often the way with these prodigious young talents. Suspect it's him falling out with the coaches as much as her.

welsbyswife

Amen to that - this is fast becoming the most painful transfer rumours thread we’ve had and that’s saying something, especially when it’s not even June! Correct. I just read "I can't be bothered arguing with people like you", followed by a whole page of ping pong childish arguing. Both equally as b...

welsbyswife

All opinions but individually you could say the same about a lot of our team! And a lot of players in other teams. Teams always need certain players to do a job. I find this categorisation of players by reference to a league a bit misleading. He's championship standard, L1 etc. It's all about how a ...

welsbyswife

Absolutely loved him One of those players who was far too good for the championship, but just a bit short for the premier league Not really. He did the job he was asked to do in the Premier League. Ok he was never going to be a stand out player at that level but that applies to a lot of Premier Lea...

welsbyswife

It's a long way from Joe Neenan and Roger Hansbury.

welsbyswife

Hard to claim anything is the best in music but some good uns. All first tracks and instantly recognisable as the sound of the bands in question:

Radio Free Europe, REM from Murmur
I Will Follow, U2 from Boy
Down to the Waterline, Dire Straits
Happy Hour, London 0 Hull 4, Housemartins

welsbyswife

The thread literally has ‘discussion’ in it, you don’t have to read the thread if you don’t want to Thanks. I generally think of discussion as two or more people considering an issue and listening to the others' points of view. What you get here is two people firing messages back and forth determin...

welsbyswife

Beginning to think transfer threads were better when we weren't linked with anyone but Dale Stephens. We've now taken to arguing over the potential mentality of players unnamed who may or may not be linked with Burnley! Why do people feel the need?

welsbyswife

Best shirt sponsor ever must have been Rochdale. All in One Garden Centre with a watering can on the front of the shirt. Brilliant

welsbyswife

Some Burnley fans aren't happy unless they are having a go at one of their own. They like to single someone out for abuse. Ray Deakin got dogs abuse before he came out the other side and became a cult hero. Branchy was similar. More down to their own good character and perseverance than any help at ...

welsbyswife

Leicester didn’t do too badly ,and although not winning it Brentford,Fulham,and Brighton aren’t doing bad at all. If you think Burnley are similar to Leicester as they were then in terms of resources you're not that clued up. And yes, Brentford, Fulham and Brighton are doing ok but none of them wil...

Tailgating.

Even worse. Tailgating on motorways when there are two clear lanes in which to overtake, yet they don't.

Possibly trying to tell you to get out of lane 2 when there's nothing in the inside lane Boofus

Pep is the best manager in the world, best of a generation or three, and his disciples would do a job anywhere. Proof? Look at this season's Championship league table. 101 points isn't some fluke. Pep has just elevated football. He'd get Burnley into the Champions League. That last sentence is nons...

welsbyswife

1. 2nd / 3rd / 4th lane hogging on the motorway. It’s not hard, keep left unless overtaking. 2. Not indicating. It’s not hard you German car drivers. Point 1 infuriates me. But over 50% of drivers seem to do it. Some going about 60mph. Far more dangerous than someone marginally over the speed limit...

welsbyswife

Virtually no point watching a City match if you are a neutral unless they are playing one of the top 4 sides. Nobody else can get near them. Incredibly boring if you just want to watch a decent game of football.

welsbyswife

Think a lot of Clarets will have a soft spot for Carlisle just because of that amazing day out in the 4th division championship winning season. Plus they are a club that seems to perennially under achieve. Real potential there if they get it right.

My mum was there one of the nights but no idea which.

My old man pulled my mum in there. Asked her if she wanted a lift home. She thought he must have a car and a bit of money! She said yes. He gave her a piggy back to the bus stop. Or so the story goes.

welsbyswife

The players on the other hand are doing a great job and remain completely blameless.
