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. I disagree with some of the above. Luton are still quick and accurate with their passing in the main. Outstanding ...

Bank Top Brewery, Bolton do a nice bitter called Flat Cap. Moorhouses Pendle Witch at The Taps in Lytham is a great pint but they often run out.

After 8 episodes / hospitalisations due to suffering from paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in last 16 years the latest was most serious and rendered me unconscious for nearly 5 minutes. Whilst NHS have been brilliant I now need to make progress by treating my condition with an ablation which offers t...

I said it when we got Edwards (he is borderline world class when fit and on his game) in no world should Foster be selected over him. Obviously Edwards hasn't played much for two months , but as soon as he can do 90mins he has to. Not on Parker for me this one. Any half decent championship striker ...

Got to say at that kind of price it’s really not a bad deal

Personally think we've dodged a bullet there.

I've always been with BT ( they own the fibre around here). To me there a much of a muchness between all the suppliers, most of whom are warehousing from BT anyway. As someone said above, the best investment is to not plug in their inhouse routes and repeaters. Cheap as chips and poor in general. I ...

The corner has been turned The team have clicked - Parkers getting it right More to return to the squad Potential additions in Jan Clean sheets aplenty All signs of a promotion charge now Agree with all of the above. We shouldn't be surprised it's taken a few months to basically build a squad from ...

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.

Same for me. Very crappy.Want my money back.

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.

lakesider

Apart from the Tresor "greatest mystery" what on earth was the thinking of letting Amdouini go on loan when our strikers are Jay, Hountondji, and Foster (when he feels like it). I am convinced that with Amdouini we would be closer or even above Sunderland. I can understand him being sold but on loa...

Sarmiento doesn’t appear as dangerous but seems to have for more end product, if he’s fit we should shake it up & see. Along with returning Josh L to the midfield. Unfortunately I think Sarmiento has joined the long list of injured players so not an option yesterday. When he is fit it's time to giv...

lakesider

As you say you can only base an opinion on what you hear first hand. He's an extrovert for sure but he does try and tell it like it is. He had a similar rep at Blackpool and a lot of their fans ( I live amongst them!) reckon they would not have got to the premier league without his input despite wha...

At first I liked Matt Williams, but I struggle to believe a word he says anymore. He is very loose with words and often strays from truth. He says 4 players agents told him after the spurs game, his clients won't play for the club again. There wasn't 4 changes for the team against Forest. I don't r...

I don’t think we should underestimate Hannibal’s role when confronted with fixtures such as this. For me, if it’s a highly emotionally charged fixture such as Leeds, Blackburn etc, he motivates that grit for the other players. When we have the opportunity to dominate the ball in a fixture then it’s ...

I've been registered as type 2 for 15 years. I've reversed it twice (by losing 4 stone) and then gone and put it back on. I basically yoyo. Throughout the year I do a lot of hill walking and do a 7-10 day walk once a year. I'm on Metformin and empagliflozin daily. When I'm on it I'm strict. No booze...

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. He is unaware of what has gone wrong on the pitch, otherwise he would have fixed it! They've maintained, publicly, that it's a multi year strategy,...

All of the above but also if you have an extra hour it's worth going down to the cruise quay adjacent to the Pan Pacific hotel ( a walk from downtown/Stanley park). There is a virtual reality fly through Vancouver that is a good start before you start your wanderings. There you'll see a proliferatio...

We're retired Tricky Trevor so we could do it either utilising my daughters permanent visa or through an investment route.

Sandwiched between Chelsea and Newcastle game. Their stadium delay has proved to be an advantage for them and not us.

I wonder how many Burnley fans were at that game on Friday in Toronto! My youngest daughter has just moved to Toronto from Vancouver and my son was over there last week visiting. They all went to the game. He's now deliberating whether to move over there and was trying to encourage the wife and I to...

lakesider

I broadly agree with this mentality. In my case I'm not expecting any points until the end of October by which time the squad will have gelled and we'll be through a very tough set of games. However the games from the end of October look to be winnable for a while. We're already showing signs in sma...

Do they have a director of directors ?

Yes he's called the chairman

lakesider

Sounds like they are after an architect, throwing the latest IT buzzwords around, and 'pumping it up' and calling it a directorship. Bit like the abbreviation VP is used now. The acid question is ' is this a seat on the board'? Very likely not or it would have been mentioned. A board director has a ...

Finally jumped in and bought one on the resale. Absolutely love it. What a piece of kit. I’ve got warmer coats but nothing that looks and feels anything like as good as this. As long as I don’t balloon or diet, I reckon it’s a 15 year investment. Nice one. You'll have to stay at least 15 stone to b...

Irrelevant really. Would only have been replaced by another 'born to lose' character. Won't change until the FA changes, a long wait. Need some more abrasive characters in the team and management set up before we actually win anything. Southgate is good at handling the FA and HR. He needs a bulldog ...

TAPS is the best pub on the Fylde. Don't know why a previous comment said no TV's. They have 2. Great selection of beer always. I'm in there every week and it never fails. Also two doors down is the Moschina Indian, one of the best in the area if not the best. Lots of other bars as well. if you feel...

Flown out and back of T1 three times in the last 2 months at varying times. It's a bit slower than usual that's all. If you get there when check in opens you should be fine.

Looking forward to this one!

Good point and most seasoned Burnley fans would accept that scenario. However the worry is the premiership revenue we lose and the rather shaky looking foundations of our balance sheet which might either leave us at best with a more frugal attitude to players contracts and infrastructure investment ...

Yeah after a lot of deliberation. Absolutely bombproof. Decided it would outlast me, justifying the price ticket. When you get it you'll see where the money has been spent. Good value.

I had atrial fibrillation ( after one too many massive beer sessions followed by a Domino's!). Was put on rivaroxiban to keep the blood thin to guard against a clot.

Lovely analogy alf_resco and probably accurate. Did I also read somewhere that Garlick also hadn't been paid either in part or in full yet? I think the point about offering up more funds........ maybe he thought that the not inconsiderable funds he made available one year ( 40M on Vydra, Gibson etc?...

I think when a board member offers news to the fans and the general public it should be balanced. Mike is developing a reputation of projecting the gloomier side of potential disasters thus exacerbating the 'little old Burnley' image.

Not sure why you'd have problem with the word misrepresented. It turns out it's very apposite here since the BBC video that you watched (and linked) is a misrepresentation of the BBC (written) article on the same page that gives a fuller account of what Crouch said and thinks about Dyche. In the fu...

A very accurate and honest reflection of the game. We've been here before. In the past we've registered poor performances against poor teams but performed miracles against the more illustrious of rivals. Not this season though. I don't want to point at individuals because they've been great in the p...
