I'm 70 and think of Kids today are very different because you can't make comparisons with yourself at a comparable age. Colour TV wasn't really around until after I left school and we rarely watched it anyway. Outside was our escape with no boundaries on where we could roam as long as we were back b...

It was a bit of a meh game and it looked like training and fitness was the priority

Of course they would struggle because they attract lower quality players but if they had the finances and coverage of playing in England they would quickly pick up better quality. Don't under estimate how big these Clubs are and they would soon be up there with their huge commercial potential. I was...

For record shots of Aircraft a second hand DSLR with a zoom lens of x to 200mm is a decent starting point. 2 batteries minimum and a strap so he doesn't drop it. Bridge camera's are also very good, have more zoom and less complicated to use. They are perfectly reasonable for general photography. Dow...

In reality it has been knocked down and rebuilt. A bit more work joining a few parts together, maybe a re-roof or two and it'll be fine.

When I was in Corporate at the Emirates we were told it isn't permissable to view the game from within the Lounge area or pedestrian area and the Curtains were closed to prevent this happening. I assumed this was the same everywhere but apparently not.

Dubravka 7 - We need a song for him along the lines of 'One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, GET EFFING RID'! Walker 7 - Quality player and will be all season hopefully. Ekdal 8** - His best game in a Burnley Shirt? I thought he was composed and his positional awareness makes up for maybe a yard...

As a former occupier of a clean en-suite room with secure underground parking I am pleased to see it is being refurbished. Hampton by Hilton and the like aren't building here anytime in the forseeable future, the Premier Inn went backwards years ago which leaves the Holiday Express as the only real ...

Often overlooked with players like Luca is they get forward so quickly there is nobody to actually play the ball to as they are still lumbering along behind

JohnMac

I hope he can develop his potential at Espanyol. Like quite a few younger players brought in and thrust into the spotlight, he was expected to be perfect every game. He has a lot to offer with the right coaching and we may well see him return with more maturity.

JohnMac

I sit in NU3 and coming from Town it isn't much different to walk around via the Club Shop. For those saying it will be dangerous post match, I think it will be far easier than navigating the exit into Ormerod Yard and then the subsequent shuffle, especially in the dark.

2 goals from a Brazilian International and another from a Welsh International, all finished with aplomb.

They weren't poor goals, they were quality goals finished by quality proven Premier League strikers.

Bloody Premier League!

Did okay and the goals conceded were not down to him. Needs to be more positive with the 8 second rule and ensure it isn't a hasty kick to nowhere.

Massive overreaction by the media because 2 pensioners were killed crossing a road having been hit by an over 70 year old driver had been lying about his eyesight for over 20 years! Whilst I don't disagree with the proposal, as someone over 70 there are far bigger problems with the standard of drivi...

Our announcer is worse than Alan Brazil and that takes some beating. A bit of preparation with a team list written phonetically would make it far easier. You can even get Translator apps to give you an Audio pronunciation.

I hope we choose a Greek team to play against with him in the chair

JohnMac

Always someone who wants to be different so shouts something in order to create a reaction from others. The well meaning 'Shut up' is normally misinterpreted creating a counter reaction. The knobheads have won and a sure fire way of confirming it is to have a minute's applause. Of course it'll not b...

The epitome of a player that expects top wages but we know he isn't playing more than a few games.

This type of player should be on an appearance and performance related contract with a basic (I mean really basic) salary.

JohnMac

Aside from injuries a lot of youngsters probably fall out of love with the game because Clubs are no longer in love with Football. It's a cut throat business with no room for mistakes either skill wise or behavioural. There is no system for young players to progress steadily through A, B and Reserve...

I did a swimming teachers course when in the Army and used the 1936 Olympic Diving Pool in Berlin. First task was to jump from the 10m board, no bail out option was given. It became a daily routine to jump off the board but I can't say it became enjoyable aside from the variety of screams of bravado...

I may have missed this but have the club actually stated why it is necessary to swap the home and away fans around in the CFS?

Fans will talk about how their matchday routine was completely overhauled for the better for decades to come.

JohnMac

Back to the question and Alan Shearer is way above the others and as strikers command the biggest fees, he is probably worth £20m more than whatever the record is and whatever it becomes.

If only he had been paid as much as a Chelsea Academy player gets

JohnMac

Could you honestly imagine any of those on the list tiptoeing around on the left wing trying to draw a foul. Hazard is possibly one but he had so much more. Jack Grealish hasn't lived up to his hype and probably suffered because of the huge fee. He dithers around with the ball and virtually stops th...

He has been a solid professional and role model at the Club, understood the fans and what it means to them.

Best wishes to him for the future!

Corporate speak statements that are supposed to impress?
I think this stuff is written by bullsh*tters on behalf of other bullsh*tters which causes little groups of bullsh*tters to stand around telling other bullsh*tters how jolly good their bullsh*t is!

Wade dug deep and deserved his place in the final.
Littler was 5-0 down but slowly ground him down before bursting ahead and then doing enough.

Josh Rock is the real deal though neither him or Johnny Clayton were disgraced.

The 9 darter was good but not to the same extent as MvG v Michael Smith.

My thoughts are with his family at this very sad time. I was lucky to have had a few conversations with Willie, he was the first player I would.class as my hero.

What a gentleman, what a player and what a legend!

Rest in Peace Willie

A new Esteve deal may just ward off and potential suitors, at least until next season. The Trafford saga finally concludes as the £40m buy back rumour will not have been a straight forward deal. Got to be factors within regarding him reaching certain targets etc. All in all £27m seems a good deal fo...

I know a few people who live in Gawthorpe Edge and they absolutely love it. They are in reality Bungalows but made of different materials. The cost of site fees are swallowed up by the utility bill savings. Another friend lives in the Lune Valley and again swears he would have done it earlier had he...

I'm with Ashington on every point. Ignorance of applying the Laws correctly is why Referee's are being exploited further and further by players seeking to gain an advantage. I saw a prime example of a Player v Referee power game at the Burnley Youth Tournament when a young Burnley player was very lu...

The players are genuinely brilliant with the kids that wait outside the training centre. I saw two last season with huge grins after being given a boot each from Hannibal.
