Good goal that second. Burst of pace from Coates before picking out a good pass and a cool finish. Quality stuff.

welsbyswife

Brilliant footage that! Sends shivers down the spine. I'd say that match and the Sherpa Van Northern Area Final at Deepdale are my two favourite away matches in terms of the atmosphere. It's hard not to yearn for that in the sanitised world of modern football!

Was going to suggest "the throwback" by Tom Sharpe.

Yep, one of his best, although they are all so good it's hard to pick a favourite!

Race over already?

If Vinegard flies up Ventoux like I did a few weeks ago he's still got a chance

welsbyswife

Probably 25 years since I went in. Place fell silent and they looked at you like you were from another planet. Only lived near Heiffer Lane!!

"Provided You Don't Kiss Me. 20 Years with Brian Clough" is a good read. Written by Duncan Hamilton, a journalist who worked for the Nottingham Post for 20 years.

It’s very much still running!

Has it changed much? Can't imagine it's gone upmarket! Used to have a tape recording that was done in there in the 60s of 2 old blokes chatting in Trawden dialect. Not easy to tell what they were saying. Although played it to my grandad and he had no bother!

welsbyswife

Probably a bit dated now but Tom Sharpe's books are laugh out loud funny. Satire. Porterhouse Blue, Wilt, Blot on the Landscape etc.

welsbyswife

Is the Cockhill club still going up Trawden? Now there was an interesting establishment!!

Another super night ...

Chris Pearce was on fire that night! Probably his best performance in a Clarets shirt?

welsbyswife

I will start with this one. Must be some absolute gold out there that we have never seen before. This is superb. And frightening to think the level we were at and the stadiums we played at. I would have been at this game. The challenges are something else. And who is our set piece coach... some goa...

welsbyswife

There's a place called Robertshaw's in Kelbrook that are supposed to be decent. On Colne Road. Not used them myself mind.

welsbyswife

Brilliant goal by Weller is my main memory of Boundary Park.

I must admit, my memories of that 3-3 draw aren't quite so fond.

My driving or the game?

welsbyswife

I always thought Heath Robinson was a partnership much more suited to Burnley

welsbyswife

A please might help grease the wheels.

welsbyswife

Wouldn't mind him if we went up though. Very good player.

welsbyswife

Personally I wouldn't think changing how we have approached things for the last 30 unbeaten games would be advisable just for one game. We outplayed them at their place. Let's do what we do and let them worry about us!!

welsbyswife

My best memory of the whistle and Goal Action was when we beat Spurs 4-1 in the Milk Cup at White Hart Lane. Brilliant night.

welsbyswife

But the point is that Parker obviously thought the players needed a chatting to hence Trafford being instructed to feign injury. That’s on Parker, not Trafford. I'm not so sure because Trafford went down on instinct wasn't like Parker had time to tell him to do it. Either way it's symptomatic of ou...

welsbyswife

The feigned injury allowed a team huddle with the manager to re group, didn’t bear fruits but that was the intention. We'd just had a five minute spell that was probably our best bit of the game with a couple of corners before the break from them then his save. We didn't need to regroup we needed t...

welsbyswife

I'm not convinced that changing personnel without changing approach and tactics would make much of a difference. Edwards might be good but unless you have full backs getting up to support or midfield players bursting forward the front line will continue to look isolated. That's becoming the worrying...

welsbyswife

I can understand the tactics for the first 15-20 mins of an away game to kill the crowd, slow the game down etc. But this goes on the whole match. Trafford taking 30 seconds to take every goal kick before passing sideways to Steve or CJ. Then rotate to Steve takes the goal kicks at the point the ref...

welsbyswife

I can't quite see how he would fit in with Arsenal's style of play to be honest. Seems a strange one to me.

welsbyswife

I've never watched the highlights again until now. Amazing how the tension and emotions come flooding back watching that. Never forget the look on my dad's face in that last 10 minutes. He's normally the most relaxed guy you can imagine - he even made us stay until the end and clapped them off in th...

welsbyswife

Well regardless of how he played can we all agree on one thing, that he looked like he enjoyed playing with the young lads and that they will have benefitted from his experience. Actually that's two things! I'm not suggesting he could play a regular role in midfield in the Championship. It's too dyn...

welsbyswife

The point of the thread wasn't about Jay's performance it was about the pleasure of watching an old pro play alongside the 2 young lads and guide them through the game. The fact that you can't see that and felt the need to come on and have a pop at him tells me all I need to know about your outlook.

welsbyswife

:D He may well have nurtured the two young lads but his general play was not good enough I lost count of the number of simple passes that went astray He certainly did not boss the midfield Wasn't his job to boss the midfield so you're showing a lack of understanding right from the off. And yes, some...

welsbyswife

Still a classy footballer just hasn't got the legs for a lone role up front anymore.

welsbyswife

Not sure if this has been said elsewhere but I thought it deserved a thread. It was a pleasure to watch Jay play alongside the 2 young lads in a deeper role today. He played well himself until he was tired in the 2nd half but you could see him talking to them constantly and helping them through the ...

Yes, but it will cost more.

If you ring the ticket office they will be able to sort you tickets to pick up at Reading on the day.

Thanks Quicken. I'll give them a bell today.

welsbyswife

Please can I just double check that pay on the day will still be available. Just tried to purchase online but the only option is collect from the Turf which is no good for me. Don't want to go all the way to Reading for nothing!!

welsbyswife

Like his passion but not sure he's the replacement for John Deary just yet.

welsbyswife

As in Bf2k

welsbyswife

Precisely the sort of bell end who makes you want to quit.

welsbyswife

Thanks TT but I don't want to do that. I genuinely want my account to be deleted.

I could just stop viewing but the temptation would be there and I actually want to delete my account. It has reached a point where I find it annoys me too much. There must be a way.

welsbyswife

Just wondering if anyone can explain how I can delete my account from the site. I've looked at the FAQs etc and can't see anything and have mailed the administrator twice but without reply. The transfer rumour thread has been the final straw. I just can't stand it and rather than continually get ann...

What about the new signing up front? He's really good. Forgotten his name. Belgian lad, I think.

Not sure he'll be any good in the Premiership. Crap at rugby the Belgians.

welsbyswife

More rules made up for the television. Refs couldn't get it right when the laws were simple so god only knows how they expect them to judge this in a split second on the pitch. Sadly getting to a position where things rely more and more on VAR.

That team absolutely walks that league IMO. Why do people write in that manner on message boards? It's everywhere you look. That team "should walk" or "will walk" that league! If you said "John walks to the shops" it's an indication of something that he already does. So it's like using the present ...

We just had a week or so in the Galloway Forest Park, near a tiny place called Glentrool. Beautiful part of the world. Had a day out to the southern tip of Scotland on the Mull of Galloway. Tremendous view across to the Lakes, IoM and Norn Iron.

I get it that this thread is about discussion of possible transfers, as well as transfers, but could we please refrain from discussing players ALREADY on contract. It's not actually a thread about transfers Circus, it's a thread of about 10 to 15 posters trying to show how clever they are about tac...

The question is what do you throw together from the fridge or cupboard, I love dry rated peanuts and pork scratchings but they are from a bag etc. I sometimes fry a load of bacon from the butchers, dice it and have it on home made melba toast, delicious. Apologies, didn't get the gist of the rules....

welsbyswife

Dry roasted peanuts and a nice bottle of red. Perfect Friday night tackle.
