Cole Palmer didn't come over very well in the post match interview. In fact he was embarrassing. I used to think he was cleverly winding up the media. I don't now, I believe he is completely disinterested in off field matters because they are too complicated for him. His footballing brain is top cl...

A look at his career record shows he isn't a goalscorer you would use as a main striker

Andrew Cole

There isn't a comparison for me, Sean Dyche achieved more with less and kept us there against the odds. Scott Parker has had an excellent beginning to his tenure breaking records in Domestic and European stats. I hope he can match Sean for longevity in the Premier League. As someone once said 'Excit...

Maison Hugill thanked his Customers, the note is still on the window.

I personally care more about how many points we can accrue next Season and don't care what shade of Claret we play in (it isn't Purple)!

Still it would'nt be a Burnley message board if there wasn't arguing, bickering and point scoring amongst supporters.

UT?

Well they would be if they still existed

It's only in Europe, these will still be relevant in their main marketing areas like the far east.

Who comes up with this crap?

"Our 2025/26 home kit celebrates our home and the beauty of Lancashire."

Someone paid a fortune to spout it

Next season is about how the team performs rather than individuals.

Everyone in the squad is good enough as part of a team, at Premier League level, possibly none are particularly standout as individuals.

I joined in 1990. Feel bloody old now!

Another support for Eddie Gills. He makes his own pies too and they are very good plus his various sized Sausages (oooer).

Birds is also very good for plate pies.

Spam yum tummy yum

Harry Potts was the Manager when I started going and we really were a big player in the top division. That era was very different with sweat on the shirt for the love of the game. No bench full of players earning a fortune, if you weren't ready it was the Reserves. Sean Dyche brought a bit of that f...

In addition to some great points above, Clubs with a decent bit of succes have stopped employing 'has been Managers' and 'used to be decent' players

This literally just happened to me! They took a CT scan, said i had acute appendicitis but could wait till morning for surgery. I felt it go about an hour later, and had to spend the next 8 hours begging for better painkillers. I was in so much pain a tore a muscle between my ribs. And so lucky I d...

Which part is bullshit? That the designers use colour psychology or that colours have an affect on human behaviour? Would you feel different if you sat in a room painted bright pink than in the same room painted black? Do people not dress in colours and styles that make them feel confident and comf...

Complete and utter bullshot, including the science theory!

15 years ago I rushed my Wife to hospital where she was diagnosed with acute appendicitis but before she went into theatre it had burst. Because of the type of operation required it took about 8 months just for the wound to fully close and involved the use on Manuka Honey to help it heal. The whole ...

Sorry, I was reading stuff on my phone, what was the question?

You need to understand the protocols and trust Kevin Sinfield will have his day when due.

KDB is one of the finest players I have seen at the Turf and must be in the top group of elite midfielders to have played in the PL. His boots seemed to be a few inches above the grass as he floated around the pitch.

JohnMac

Excellent business by Sunderland and a good move for the Player. Won't have to read all the social media and press negativity stuff anytime he makes a mistake.

JohnMac

Thanks Steve, I will join in again.

That’s good. I think it’s the first time they’ve done that?

I won’t be able to go this year so will watch on that.

It’s an absolutely fantastic event. For anyone who has got tickets you’ll have a brilliant day. Loads going on and some great football to watch.

Broadcast last year too

My uncle emigrated to Canada in 2008. He has a mate who is a massive football fan, really knows his stuff. Anyway, he was over here and I got him a ticket for the United home game in 2015 (the one where it finished 0-0 and Jones hit the bar.) We went in the miners and he went to get a round. He jus...

Even if plans were made for new reservoirs it will probably take 10 years of legal wrangling before ground is broken. How is HS2 getting on nowadays? It seems years since it was considered newsworthy.

CJ has a right to choose his future and if this is what he wants to do then so be it. He will be more than aware of the circumstances regarding fees and compensation.

You mean the same Chelsea that practically invented the farming of talent on a grand scale, and thus acting as a major profit centre, with little prospect of the talent actually playing for their club

Yep.

Dodgy betting companies aren't half as bad as fake businesses laundering the proceeds of drug sales and other criminal activities in full view of the authorities. They are here on our streets, in our Towns and Cities. Never mind though eh, they are paying rates to Councils, VAT to the Government and...

I can't believe Chelsea would be interested in CJ unless he was to prove himself at Premier League level.

The man with the flag was supernumerary to the game long before VAR was introduced.

Referee's wanted all the power hence why the 'Assistant' was reduced to the odd flag flutter.

Shirt clearly being pulled.

I met David, the chap who runs this a few weeks ago, he was really friendly and proud of his contribution to society. He was pleased I took the time to talk to him and even more chuffed when I sent him a photo of his companion, Pip the Dog.

Well I didn’t accuse him of breaking the law, did I? More of a question, should a born Liverpool fan who the club has made a multi millionaire not show a little more loyalty to his local club? Or should he be held to the same standard as a foreign signing. It's his own talent that made him a Millio...

Packed up playing about 12 years ago due to medical issues and still miss it.

Only been to Spain once and it was to play Golf, we did San Roque, Marbella, another but the name escapes me and a beast of a course called Monte Mayor.

Please remember one of our own fans is awaiting sentencing when referring to punching someone. It may seem like a good idea until it isn't.

My Wife lost her Father to a punch from a drunken mate.

Great fun, cheers Steve.

I delved into Chat GPT a couple of weeks back and asked it to produce a Birthday card for a Grandson. I supplied a photo with a suggestion and it did a really good job. I uploaded a photo of me with a suggestion and was impressed with how intuitive it can be and handle amendments. That will be the l...

All too easy JohnMac but the first night we had a ask that the wife can't eat gluten. Now as you can guess we just got the stare as no English. Anyway 5 mins later google translate and "senza gluttine " did the trick . It's a really good tool, I've been to Hungary and Czechia using it as opposed to...
