And Jay would be playing in a one man team

I might even get a game!

Fretters

My wife (who couldn't be less interested in football) recently announced that you should only be allowed to play for a football club if you were born in that town or city.

Jay Rod would be playing for us well into his sixties, I Reckon.

Fretters

I've been backing Stoke to do well for years. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day!

Fretters

Change in set piece coach anyone?

He was mocked, but so many forget what a role he would have played in our defending last season.

Fretters

Started this season like he started the last PL season. He even had a goal wrongly chalked off too, at Forest. VAR hates him.

Ziferblat?

That's the one. And it was actually capped at four hours.

Depending on your line of work and whether you need a quiet background, you could do worse than Spoons. Plug some music in and load up on the unlimited brews.

That's a good call actually, and they usually have plug sockets under many of the tables.

I believe the Landmark is fairly expensive for co working now. There really is a gap in the market for an affordable co working space in and around Burnley. I used to go to one in Manchester where you paid 6p a minute for the time you were there, capped at something like £20. Whilst in there, you c...

And Jay McEviley. David Jones last club was them too before he signed for us

I'm sure Stan went in for Matt Jansen at one point too, when he'd come back from that horrific scooter accident abroad.

Does Onana have a twin brother that's a not a keeper and they signed him by mistake ?

They meant to sign Ograndad

Simple common sense will always trump the flashiest tech.

I run a business so can't just ignore calls, though.

My Samsung S23 rejects 95% of scam calls as does my wifes Samsung S9

I get a few calls that flash up as 'suspected scam' that I can ignore, but these are random mobile numbers that don't flag up as spam. You can't call them back either, they're very strange

Sorry, this is what I was talking about. It asks who's calling and you get a text transcribe before you decide to accept it or not. When a unknown number rings you can ask it to screen

Thanks for that, looks like my phone (Samsung Galaxy S20) isn't quite new enough for this feature!

Fretters

The latest versions of android have call screening built in don't they? It has smart called ID, so will give me a company name even if I haven't got their number saved, but I'm looking for a proper call screen app where the caller has to say who they are before getting through (if that's a thing). ...

Morning all, Every day I'm getting calls from different mobile numbers. When I answer, I'm transferred to a call centre and it's some sort of crypto scam.

If it is a live special we need Woody to don that VR headset and give us live commentary of him watching a back to front game :lol: (listen to today’s POD if that doesn’t make sense) That was brilliant.

As cracking a day it was, Notts, let's be honest. Nobody gives a shite who won the Championship title, do they? It really is forgotten about the next day and doesn't even cause a ripple in the football world. If you were to go around asking football fans 'who won won the Championship in 2016' how m...

Once of a day his dad would have been on here seeing what you were saying about him.

Called Morgan, wasn't he?

Fretters

I was pleased with the signing, but having seen the comments of Newcastle fans on their Facebook fan pages, I'm now absolutely delighted.

Many have him better than Pope and say they've sold the wrong keeper.

What is "brexit football"?

Fretters

I was reading the other day about how the God of possession football, Pep himself, has hired one of Klopp's old coaches as he's accepted that football has again moved on. Even he thinks this style has been worked out and needs to evolve. Unfortunately, it's embedded in every coach and club in the c...

I thought Bertie's old mate was back.

Fretters

We played a 4-4-2 / 4-2-4 against Stoke. Parker doesn’t play with a traditional number 10 and definitely not a creative type. He will prioritise physicality and work rate, which Hannibal offers in that area. Anyway, I think we’ll play a back 5 quite often. Also Flemming who may actually get to play...

Fretters

Six goal contributions (3 goals, 3 assists) is a side that was relegated in record time last season.

Good signing, this.

Fretters

I think we have a few players who have had a confidence knock, such as Foster and Koleosho, who could come good under the right circumstances. Might be a slice of luck in a game, a chance they take that pays off, but I maintain there’s potential there. I'm looking forward to seeing Luca this season...

Perhaps it’s to give Burnley fans a better match day experience as the fans in there have been complaining for some time about how squashed they are under there.

I really don't understand how this is going to get built in three weeks. Especially if there's not even planning permission in place.

Landed in Blackpool.

Great signing for them. Oh well, we move on.

Fretters

First time I have seen since he left the club, he looks so well. He really should come back to the club one day, so he can see how well he is thought of. He did come back to an event in the Longside suite, around 2007. He was invited up to the front and seemed genuinely choked up at the reception h...

After leaving uni in 2005, my first job was at an alarm receiving centre. Our job was to phone rich people when their burglar alarm went off during the night.

I went for Jay. A lovely strike which started with a neat 1-2 with Wood.

I am looking at booking a Med cruise for next summer with Mrs Billet and the two kids. Has anyone recently done this?

The exact same one. Pretty obscure I’d say.

Yep. The other Paul Robinson was a pretty obscure signing too

Paul Robinson (no not him). Signed on loan from Wimbledon in the 00/01 season. Striker who started at Newcastle. He missed a golden chance to score on his debut. Played three times for us. The player that Gullit famously dropped Shearer for before when they lost at home to Sunderland. Gullit was pr...

McVeigh did well but it was Gray & Jones, both returning to full fitness, who made the difference. Isn’t it strange how a cup defeat is always included in a long run without a win yet ignored when it breaks up a winning run. I thought it was 19 league games, to be honest. 18 years ago now which is ...

I liked McVeigh and he was a big reason we ended the 19 game winless run under Cotterill. I was disappointed we didn't sign him, but we did get Blake back instead.

Rovers have gone down the monochrome badge route for an away kit - seemingly forgetting that it now looks like a Yorkshire rose. :roll: https://www.footballshirtculture.com/images/cwgallery/4025-blackburn-rovers-25-26-macron-150th-anniversary-third-kit/4025_blackburn_rovers_25_26_macron_150th_anniv...

Dean Bowditch - I remember seeing him score a hat trick for Ipswich, so I was excited to sign him. I was wrong.

Phil Gray is one I always find weird.

I think it was the shortest Burnley career (about 5 minutes on the pitch). I used to work with someone that told me that stat all the time

Who holds it now? CT's post sounds like he lost the record.
