Given the size of the land Registry office in Lytham/Warton, you would expect to see traffic coming on and off the main road there. I don't think I've ever seen a car waiting to turn into said office or out of. Kind of supports the covid/working from home argument.

I think with the addition of Walker and Hartmann I am a lot more optimistic. The toughest thing to do in the premier league is to score goals and am not convinced we have that dept sorted yet. Looking forward to a lot of spirited 0-0's though :) I agree with other posters we are in a lot better posi...

Another Joseph Wambaugh novel, The Choirboys.
2nd vote for this. Will never forget the chapter where our hero is crawling along the floor on his back to get underneath a glass table to check out what was sat on it!

Newcastle are getting annoying. They want ridiculous money for their players and want clubs to sell to them cheap. Since they lost the services of the lass ( who came from one of the big four accounting practices) their negotiation tactics are shite. No one wins. Give us 30 big ones for Traff and L...

His reading of the game is terrible and his decision making is worse. It's very different being a winger tracking back chasing the ball than it is being an actual defender. Even in a very attacking team he would struggle. For us that would be disastrous! Agree. I like the lad but until his final ba...

Having a referee that wouldn't stand for their physical/dirty approach helped enormously. They came up here to bully us and nick one off a set piece. All in all a very good performance.

A rare one trying to subscribe to Clarets + audio for £2.50, given it isn’t on Sky Sports +. Put my payment details in but no commentary on any of my devices. Honestly, I’d expect better from my local corner shop let alone a £100m turnover business.

Perhaps playing 2 strikers in the championship might be a good option in a 4-4-2 rather than 1 striker being crowded out by 11 of the opposition like yesterday. 16 corners yesterday and a Burnley player got his head on it once.

I don’t think we should underestimate Hannibal’s role when confronted with fixtures such as this.

Not sure what he's expected to say. He's hurting just like the rest of us and probably more so given the investors he'll have snapping at his coattails.
