Burnley 3 Derby 0

Don't forget, Gordon is a Liverpool fan.

I would be surprised if Newcastle can hit the same level of effort in their next game.

Darnhill Claret

Cracking game.

Darnhill Claret

Think Simon Hooper has been excellent in the first half.

Build a temporary 'LEGO' style stadium at Crow Wood. When it is ready, we move there, and stay there until Turf Moor is demolished and rebuilt, when we move back to TURF MOOR. There will be more than adequate corporate facilities, and a designated away fan section, nowhere near to the dressing rooms...

Thought every player made a positive contribution today, and as he hasn't had a mention yet, I'd like to say that Joe Worrall came on and did exactly what was required of him.

Darnhill Claret

Wolves played better this week, so we need 2 points or more out of them this season.

Darnhill Claret

Seems OK to me, but I think we should have that centre section, directly behind the goal. That should be corrected ASAP, unless that takes them under the minimum number.

Darnhill Claret

There is enough footballing quality between Esteve, Ekdal and Walker, that should enable them to cover and support each other, when things get a bit difficult. It doesn't mean that we won't give away a few goals over the course of the season, but it might mean, that we keep that number down to a res...

If Burnley and other clubs build like Brighton, Brentford and Bournemouth, there will still be 3 relegated clubs at the end of every season.

He obviously wouldn't have been the first, but Eddie Barlow was the first pro I'd seen actively coaching his teammates in the field. When he wasn't bowling, he was in the slips, doing all the field placings, and generally never stopped talking. I remember it annoyed some, but I found it fascinating....

RIP to Ken Shuttleworth, one of many outstanding Lancashire cricketers of his time. RIP also to Bob Simpson. At a time when I don't think England had a top leg break bowler, I loved seeing Bob Simpson in the Lancashire League. Although I was never quite 'good enough' at cricket I loved my leg break ...

You don't have to be booked for deliberate handball. A free-kick/penalty is often deemed enough. An offence on the half way line is often penalised without a card.

Darnhill Claret

The most obvious problem we have when comparing ourselves (fans) with Leeds and Sunderland are the numbers.
Sunderland 51,000
Leeds 44,000
Burnley 21,900

I accept those figures might be out of date, but my point remains the same.

Darnhill Claret

I hope that when the players and coaching staff sit down to review the Spurs game, they look at the good, and the not so good, and agree on where they might improve this Saturday and in many of our future games. If we were asking our central defenders to mark zonally, did it work? If they had marked...

Why should JJ treat Espanyol fans any different to how he treats Burnley fans??

Darnhill Claret

How about this for a wild suggestion.

Alan Pace, JJ and any others might want both football clubs to do well, be successful.

Darnhill Claret

I thought he was good wherever he lined up. Always gave it everything.

Darnhill Claret

Going back to Geoff Nulty, it took him a while to find his best position for us. He had periods as a supplementary striker, a centre half and a midfielder. He was excellent in the air, and yet he wasn't fully appreciated and often targeted by the boo boys.

Darnhill Claret

What genuinely surprises me, is how few posters are selecting Flemming for a starting position. Until I see Broja a few times, Flemming is our most instinctive goalscorer, regularly looking to score at any opportunity, from any position and any distance.

Darnhill Claret

Come on Forest, you can get us up to 17th.
Hopefully Arsenal can get us to 16th. WHAT?

From 16-7 to 15-2 in 8 weeks. 19lb loss in 8 weeks, steady away, just how I like it. Next week will present a different challenge. Family week away in a caravan in North Wales, Mon to Fri. I'm hoping for more walking and fresh sea air. Not sure how the food and drink aspect will pan out. Club nights...

Darnhill Claret

POSITIVES.

Dubravka starting.

Lesley, Flemming and Ramsey fit enough to warrant a place on the bench.

Darnhill Claret

Laurent and Foster, to me weren't back up at all. They were fully fledged members of the first team squad, including starting games and playing from off the bench. Ekdal went out on loan to build up his fitness levels and is now continuing his physical progress by playing games as a starter in a new...

Darnhill Claret

Can't remember Charlie, but I'll be following his career with interest, or at least for this season.
Definitely a top Championship player. Will he be a stand out at this level, in what might be a struggling side or will he be a major contributor to a Sunderland survival?

Darnhill Claret

Should we have been more patient with Dan Ballard?

Darnhill Claret

Scott Parker.

THEWELLERNUT70, top stalker.

Their back line has just recently been cobbled together. They will be fine, as they improve with familiarity. The coach gets good footballers who can play as he wants them to. They won't be in the bottom 6.

Bournemouth are not going to be involved in any relegation scrap.

Thanks again Steve for doing this. It's a good added interest. I just want to let you know that my guess for total goals in any matchweek, will rarely if ever, correspond with my individual match predictions. For example I'm just about to do my selections, but whatever they might come to, my total g...

SP has to rotate and make ELEVEN changes. The most important part of keeping a huge squad happy is to reward them for their loyalty when the cup games come around.
Provided our squad isn't decimated by injuries, in which case he'll only make 10 changes.

Darnhill Claret

Think the lads might have played that game with the heat in mind. Results are secondary at this level. Having said that we were always in the game. Just seemed to switch off for a few minutes before their first goal and I sensed that Dale, were looking likely scorers. But the lads picked themselves ...

Top of the league after two games, maybe even after 3.

Darnhill Claret

Thought all games at Wembley, the national stadium, had the National Anthem played. Maybe not, but I'm never surprised to hear it.

Darnhill Claret

It's not the league that you score your goals in, it's the quality of the teammates that you play with.

Darnhill Claret

G0foste, good luck, wicked combination to start both at the same time.

Pearcey, I'm a little bit down today, don't know if it's guilt, or because I made the mistake of jumping on the scales last night. Anyway lessons learned.

Darnhill Claret

Managing roughly 2 pounds a week.
7 weeks from 16-7 to 15-5.
Had a bit of a blip yesterday, match day.
Had a pie, pre-game and a Maccy D's on the way home.
If I ever do similar again, I will keep away from the scales for 48 hours, lol.
Hoping for 15-2, 15-3 next Saturday.

What I found poor yesterday was not using the screens to let us know the Lazio team in the run up to kick off. Just reading out a list of names poorly was no help at all. Then when the two team lists were finally shown, it seemed to be in a smaller font than last season, as I was having to squint to...

Well, I still haven't received my ticket via email as promised, so they will have to sort me with one at the ticket office tomorrow, although I have had 3 emails asking me to get a ticket, including the latest one saying I can get a ticket at the ticket office. I'll be there at 1.00pm tomorrow. Fing...

Wonder if the interest from Wolves, West Ham and Everton was genuine or agent driven?

Darnhill Claret

I also remember those 2 games, where we walloped Napoli 3-0 on aggregate.

Character building. Don't think I'd hold a grudge for 60 years though.
Napoli, I could understand, but to transfer it to Lazio, not so sure.

Do you hate every Scottish club, due to what Celtic fans did when they visited?

Darnhill Claret

My original query was because I do remember in the past, that there have been welcomes made by such as the Burnley mayor, or did I dream it all?

Darnhill Claret

Just for balance.
