Got tickets for tomorrow and really looking forward to it.

Just hoping Root, Bairstow or Stokes (preferably all 3) can produce another of those legendary Headingley Ashes test innings.

I used to do ok answering the questions listening to the radio version (mid teen to 20's scores) and was going to apply to be on this.

Watching last night's episode on catch up I'm glad I didn't complete the application form now as I'd have sucked

Only watched Elton live watching a few acts on catch up starting with Sparks.

They were the first band I ever saw live (King George's Hall, Blackburn circa 1974/75)

Still mad as a box of frogs but still brilliant

One or 2 controlling touches and a stunning volley, think Hendricks goal on the Turf v Bournemouth

For me, the extended version of 'Rocket Man' was the highlight of the gig at Ewood in 2017 and he absolutely nailed it again last night.

We get to feast our eyes on Axl Rose tomorrow, who's either gonna show up Freddy Mercury at Wembley, or (more likely) turn up late and phone it in with all the effort of a McDonald's server depending on his mood that day. Show up Freddy at Wembley? Good luck with that. A performance surpassed only ...

I've always wondered how true to the film was the Apollo 13 mission. It seems that could easily have been catastrophic for all concerned, and the space version of what's been on the news in the last few days. I have the Apollo 13 film on DVD and one of the extra features is audio commentary by the ...

I wasn't there but I do remember something similar away at Coventry's old ground in an FA Cup tie when Stan was manager. A loud and sustained chanting of 'Stan Ter-nents claret n blue army" ringing out for what seemed like ages. Even some of the Coventry fans started joining in and jigging to the rh...

Some may think that just paying up is the correct thing to do, and it is if you’re unequivocally in the wrong. Done quite a bit of research on the subject having recently received one of these PCN's for overstaying on Burnley Retail Park I think what ClaretEngineer says pretty much sums it up. The ...

Watched a couple of documentaries today on D-Day. Really hard to take in what a massive operation the D-Day landings were and the months of planning and ingenuity involved and of course the incredible bravery of all those involved on the front line whether on land, air or sea. They truly were the 'g...

Will watch the Everton game if I can, otherwise will have to be the Leeds game as I only have BT Sports.

Purely for Dyche/ex Burnley players sentimentality I'm hoping Leeds & Leicester drop.

No didn't enjoy it as I wasn't there and didn't even get to watch the game live :-( Was on a cruise to celebrate our silver wedding anniversary booked a year previously and consequently was stuck in the middle of the sodding ocean somewhere between the USA and Bermuda.

Always had a bit of a fascination about the Dambusters from being a child and first seeing the film. When I was a kid we lived just outside Dortmund from 1967-1971 as my dad was stationed there and I recall us visiting the Mohne, Eder and Sorpe dams and surrounding parklands on more than one occasio...

Season 2022/23 had so many great moments but if you had to pick just one to receive a virtual bottle of champagne what would it be? Benson's winner at Ewood is an obvious one but for me I'd give it to Barnes for that headed goal and 'accidental' follow through planting of the goalkeeper into the bac...

It was quite funny actually. I'm sure once the writer gets over the disappointment of Tuesday night he'll put that mare behind him, get the bit between his teeth for next season and look forward to a more stable future for his club. In fact, if he was a betting man, he'd probably bang a pony on Blac...

Really tough one this, so many excellent candidates already mentioned and there's a case to be argued for all of them as POS. For consistantly good performances over the whole season though have gone for Josh Cullen. Special mention for Nathan Tella though who has been superb and along with Gary Cah...

Many years ago we watched Burnley CC at home v Rishton who had Allan Donald in their side at the time.

Think poetic justice would have been better served if we had been crowned champions at Boro tonight.

Then when they came to present us with the trophy we could have said (in our best collective Burnley accents) "nah, it's rheet, we'll use't blow up one we ad to use last time we were't champions "
