Wasn’t it to do with something called “serviceable debt”?

Aleksandr Solovjovs.

If anyone can remember him without googling, fair play.

Remember him pee season Vs glentoran. Played the game that Owen coyle scored. Latvian, I think?

Phil Gray is one I always find weird. We signed him on a free after we got promoted in 2000 (and I remember being impressed that we had a FULL, current Northern Irish international playing for us - how times have changed!) and he scored on his debut away at Bolton in our first game in the Champions...

Free entry at Rochdale supposedly.

Good to know, thanks - that's a ground I haven't yet ticked off

World's gone mad. That's the going rate for a Championship reserve player?

A 100 points a season kind of championship side, mind. Not your run of the mill champ lot like PNE or rovers.

Rowls

A tough choice between the top two selections. Opted for Chelsea because they were a real forced then: reigning champions and a well drilled outfit. The red cards obviously helped but the truth is we goaded them into it and were frustrating them by playing so well. Then we had the inspiration and co...

I'll be watching and cheering on the Lionesses.

Bad news if fully confirmed. Hope the lad is doing as well as can be expected and the reported surgery went well.

Acshually I think you’ll find they can hover.

Bottled water is daft. We invented an intricate system of pressurized pipes that provide safe, clean water all over the country and every single modern industrialised country - a marvel of design, ingenuity and back breaking labour. It’s a wonder of the ages effectively banishing the toil that kept ...

Shilton giving a clap to the away end in acknowledgement too

He wasn't so complimentary the next time he faced Jimmy Mullen's Armada

We seem a little heavy on wingers. Edwards and Anthony don’t deserve to lose their shirt (Edwards you’d have a case as he dipped a little towards the end of the season) but keeping a happy squad is just as important as winning games. Having 2,4 or 5 wingers sulking not playing won’t do anything for...

Poor old Beyer and Ramsey - not only do they have to share a thread, it gets invaded by Eddie Howe and Mike Trésor.

Rowls

I dare say you're confident in your own mind that "he told me in confidence so I can't tell you" and "He told me it was a secret so I can't tell you" are entirely different things. I don;'t see it, myself. It's just intriguing. There is apparently a very interesting reason why the building can't be...

This is starting to sound like the basis of a future Netflix conspiracy series.

Someone feel free to give it a title.

Nah, podcast at best.

"Maid in Burnley: Secrets I Saw in the Kierby Hotel"

Not sure if these buildings are the ones referred to earlier in the thread. I travel through Burnley town centre quite a lot. The Cross Keys had been clad in scaffolding for a few months, the roof was renewed and now the scaffolding is down can see that the stonework has been cleaned (not sand blas...

The alleged sexual assaults/rape cases
date back to 2021-22 but Thomas Partey was only charged with these offences once his contract with Arsenal came to an end on Monday.

Strange one that.

Could be a coincidence but the timing of this does raise a few eyebrows.

Sleep easy?

You're posting at 4am and you want to tell the rest of us to "sleep easy"?

Happy 4th July to all the American Clarets out there and also to any ex-pats who happen to get dragged along to the celebrations. Top tip to any Brits caught up in Independence Day parties - make sure you play your part and pretend like you're secretly genuinely peeved at "losing the colonies". It m...

2nd October 1965

Glad it was captured for posterity by the ground sketcher.

Rowls

Thanks for the info Tony.

What's happened is hugely disappointing but appreciate the information and fingers crossed it can be worked out and something else set up in place.

I'll certainly let you know about any refunds and keep you informed.

Rowls

Great job by the french, sticking up for themselves.

Some saps in the Yookay are even working more than 35 hours a week. It's inhumane.

Pickles just reminded me of Pavyluchenko.

Dean Marrrrrney!

Rowls

Any idea what this means? Seems to be a statement of intent to do something. Coupled with the photo of him playing football suggests what that something is. Best not to take the words literally. Could be an idiom that hasn't translated well or just a muddled way of expressing himself in a second la...

Strong recommend for Eddie Gills in Padiham.

Thanks boatshed bill - taking a look now.

Does anyone have a copy of this documentary about housing in Burnley that aired on BBC2 on 19th December 2001?

I'd really like to go back and re-watch it.

Failing that, does anyone have any ideas where I might find a copy?

I did a thread a while back on how many current players with double-barrelled surnames have another surname as their forename. Some of them could be useful.

One could bend the rules here and say that Alex is short for Alexander and therefore you could have an infinite loop.
Using the four names above.

Is there a prize?

Yes!

The England U21s includes Harvey Elliot and Elliott Anderson and I was wondering if we could come up with a starting XI of footballers who were linked by stringing names together. Here are the rules: For example, David Edgar strings with Edgar Davids. Paul Robinson strings with Robinson Crusoe, but ...
