Also at home why when I want to sit down in the armchair for a few minutes or simply lie down on the bed for a brief rest I can’t because each are piled high with pillows and enormous cushions. It really is an issue.

There was an old saying "I blame the parents".

I think this needs to be tweaked to "I blame the grandparents" judging by some of the stuff we see in life or on line from people aged 50+!

We don't need another striker/winger who can't score goals. We've got enough of those already thanks.

I was just thinking those exact thoughts before I read your post!

Bump - did you spot this TT?

Is that Bill Holden to the right of the goalie as we look at it?

Top picture back row 3rd player from left (next to goalie) is Harold Spencer who played 4 first team games in the post war period.

15 15 20 15 I had to think and then rethink before awarding Mr Salisbury a few half decent marks. With some of the jokers we get at the Turf it’s a challenge to get out of single digit marks.

You've just got to stand back and admire the way you have twisted a Marcus Edwards thread into a bendy, cane like stick to beat Vincent Kompany with. Ha ha yes sorry for lapsing into a rant.

Would you bring Edwards on when you’re 1-0 up with 10 mins to go ? That’s the question you need to ask . This reminded me of Burnley v West Ham in 2023 under VK. We were good value for a 1-0 lead with about 10 minutes to play. West Ham had a few big men up front and were starting to play long balls...

Atmosphere seemed good yesterday although speakers in Longside upper were very loud. It’s not just Burnley fans who moan. I was on Everton (Grand Old Team) forum the other day and they were playing hell about customer service and everything else at their club. They have a brand new stadium as well. 🤣

Enjoyed his solid performance today. He grew into the game and his confidence was much improved on last week. Pleased for the lad as he has had a wretched time out with injuries in last couple of years.

Sign him just what we need big and strong,we seem to have had a powder puff midfield for donkeys years,we need midfield monsters not the likes of Cullen and Brownhill It’s ridiculous that we haven’t got Fernandes, McAlister and Odegard playing for the Clarets.

I very much doubt whether this game will hinge on the performance of the referee Maybe not but I remember a few years ago we were relegated after losing 1-0 to a Kane penalty when Barnes was ruled to have handled the ball.

In so much as somebody playing at a level above their recent showings I would love to see Lyle Foster consistently achieving the form he showed at beginning of our last Premier League season. We know it’s in there somewhere but for the most part has been deeply hidden.

As a young kid our village team played Morecambe in the Cheshire league and we travelled to Christie Park many times.They were a well run club back then but clearly things have deteriorated since.How on Earth did they get £4m in debt?

I bet those accountants didn't tell any business "you haven't enough debt, you need to borrow some money at high rates and lend it to someone interest free". The £20m we spent last year on interest payments can indeed be offset against tax. It could also have been offset against tax if we had spent...

How far out does it spread?

To the west - Lammack, Shadsworth and Wilpshire (I believe?).

Clues please?

beeholeclaret

I hope his injury is not as serious as first thought? His comments would indicate a lengthy period away from the game.

I must admit that I didn’t think he would ever play for Burnley again after the issues towards the end of the transfer window last September.

Part of the Union and Only want my love to grow in you are in my vinyl collection in the loft. Lay down was a good song performed live. Sadly another one gone from my teenage years. They can’t de use if he was 80 years old or 85?

I thought Jimmy Mullen was Allan Clarke played for Leicester with Rodrigues in 69 Final

You’ve got Rodrigues correct as playing for Leicester in their 1969 1-0 defeat by Man City.

beeholeclaret

Correct with John Sissons (far right) and the 1964 Cup Final.

As with ‘Haha Yeah’ above you are correct with Jimmy Mullen 3rd from right.

Fantham not on there.

Looks like Peter Rodrigues and Mick Channon to me

Can’t work out the connections tho

Peter Rodrigues is 2nd from the right.

He was known as ‘master of the slide tackle’. Man and ball in one go. He wouldn’t last 5 minutes tackling like that with today’s rules.

I think it's Peter Rodrigues top right, captained Southampton to FA Cup win.
Obviously Sheff Wed, but that's as far as I can go.

Edit, just realised Saints won the cup in the 70's, so might not be the correct answer.

Correct player. Try a different Cup Final year?
