No one appears to have asked the most important question. Are we now all fans of Espanyol? Will we go to watch Espanyol when we are in Spain for our holidays? Perhaps, we will also plan weekends in Barcelona to take in a game. Will we be able to get tickets for some of Espanyol's big home games, Re...

I felt he was the best of the shortlisted candidates, but not certain how it would pan out especially as rumours of player departures were rife.
But, he rebuilt the team and got automatic promotion.

Consider my cap to be doffed!

(At least) 3 Co-ops in Padiham when I was a kid. Peel St, Shakespeare St and Burnley Road across from the Padiham Building Society. Another was on the corner of Whalley Road and Holland Street, I think it was a co-op. Also one on Grove Lane top of Lawrence Street but I don't remember that one open ...

Just to add, the "bowel prep" was much more unpleasant than the procedure.

So very true.

As stated above, Martin Dobson

Signed for free, sold for around £300,000 that paid for the Bob Lord Stand.

He was also a dammed good player.

No guarantee you actually get it delivered to the correct address though

Or that they'll arrive before the first home game.

It took him a long time to go down then, it was '92 when he hit the grass.

I like the new clurple, hope they keep it

Excellent idea but might I suggest Clarple or Purplet.

My gut instinct is that because Villa and West Ham have similar colours to us, the powers that be are moving away from those traditional claret colours to try and make our branding more unique. https://www.uptheclarets.com/messageboard/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=77439&p=2416536&hilit=Copyright+a+colour#p2...

Shocking, one person fighting for their life....

Yes shocking but could happen here too, I watched the game and real crush developed around the tunnel area at full time.
Apparently the train stations were pretty scary after the match too.

No, but it'll mean we have a poor May.

Just a single win and only 3 points gained.

The big downside to being a city is that you get an inner city.

If we can finish above Leeds and the play-off winners, we only need one of the 17 others to have a bad season for us to have a good chance of survival.

He'll have a job for certain, just might not be the one he has today.

Correct decision for a record breaker and well deserved.

Love Esteve seems like he is bringing his missus while the two other lads seem to have their boozy Manc mate as a “plus 1”

Is one of the guests Trafford's brother?
Looks like him.
Also, he looks wasted

The club statement says they'll be issuing stadium bans to anyone they can identify

I might be able to get a seat swap and better view for next season after all!

Genuine question, are there facial recognition cameras at Turf Moor?
I seem to remember someone saying so a while back.

Another possibility could be 3 centre halves, CJ, Steve and Bayer, with Bashir and 1 other as wing-backs.

We had this chat in 2023, i think its very disconcerting that we are unable to identify where this plaque is. I always loved seeing it at the players tunnel. I definitely think the club should do the same thing to commemorate the achievement and put the two of them together. It appears to be locate...

Yes, it happened right in front of me and it was exactly as you described it.

Heard my dad mentioning it many times. Although back then, it was the record for many years, until Arsenal took it. To equal it, is an amazing achievement. To do it with such a young, newly put together side is astounding. Something very 'Real' for all Clarets to be proud of. Found it! https://www....

Equalled our old record.

I think there used to be a plaque somewhere at the club marking the 30 unbeaten that said it was a record unlikely to beaten / equalled?

They've already named to ground after him.

If that falls through then New Trafford to Old Trafford.

The bloke with the microphone has just become a complete embarrasment now. How can anybody think he's adding anything to the atmosphere?

He's terrible, a real fingers in your ears performer.
But no doubt working to instructions from the board.
