Bournemouth....worthy of a separate thread perhaps...but how on earth do they do it ? 2nd in the Prem with attendances of 11,000. Im afraid im well out of touch with how football is financed these days. Doesn’t Fairplay rules or whatever it's called prevent you from spending more than a certain per...

fatboy47

And, just to clarify the above a bit further...

...that equates to more than £60,000 spunked for every adult Blackburn STH...just think about that.

fatboy47

""persistent and wilful underinvestment""

£250m already ploughed into a club with 4,000 adult STH's and still they squeal like so many stuck pigs...

Anyroad....bit of rain expected over t'weekend....watch this space.

Do they still have 4 sides open, these days?

Think it's some upper tiers that are closed off ?...

fatboy47

Friend on Ewood says may be less than 7k on the ground.

fatboy47

Did they play 90 mins or did we declare?

The LET was always a Rovers Fanzine.

Yep, true......the problem now is that the LET is asking awkward questions.

fatboy47

Rovers unhappy that the rag is commenting on their lack of transfer activity apparently.

Bottom lip curling bigstyle.

I think you’re maybe saying it half in jest, but it’s exactly what I’d do. I might have imagined this, but I seem to recall McCarthy putting out a very weakened side out against Man U in our 2010 relegation season, preserving his best team for the 6 pointer against us the following week...I think i...

Predictable levels of drama-queenery....Hannibal playing a blinder..the rest about what you'd expect from lads with no serious football under their belts.

At least there'll be no selection headaches come the weekend.

fatboy47

Forgetting who it is... If is was Burnley vs Chelsea It wasn't Chelsea.. they're in the Prem...it was a mediocre lower division team trying to play football in a swamp. And there was almost certainly around 20 mins still to play. These smaller clubs must be brought up to the mark and not allowed to...

Jeez, does that look depressing?... I've known Bacup rec look more lively.

If anything I'm more confident now than I was 5 weeks ago.

Far more spunk and nouse in this team than anything Kompany assembled.

We'll be staying up. There...I've said it.

We put 11 men behind the ball and hope we concede less than 5 goals to stay out of the drop zone.

That might just about work provided we board up the goals and stick a few rolls of barbed wire round the penalty area as well.
Owt less than 5 will be a minor miracle.

He could ride in on a segway, wearing a black leather gimp suit and turkish bath slippers and there'd still be punters on here offering an instant diagnosis of his injury.

, we have received compensation from Manchester City,

Which, rightly or wrongly, I'd imagine BFC are delighted with.

fatboy47

Anyone saying they wouldn’t take that deal in his circumstances are deluded. Good luck to him, we’d all do the same. Are you really arrogant enough to presume you speak for everyone, and that the whole world shares your tawdry outlook on life.? Thankfully I know plenty of people totally unlike you.

Thought the discussion on the latest FTBE podcast was pretty disappointing re Brownhill's move. No debate at all about some of the obvious moral issues, just one big group apology for naked greed and even praising it as a virtue. I thought at least one of the contributers would have taken a more cr...

Brownhill has never made a secret of his desire to play at a World Cup, Eh?....who for?... what at?....and even if that idea was more than a pure fantasy/ego trip.....wouldn't his best chance of a call-up been to have played out of his skin v Spurs and Sunderland....rather than taking his ball home...

Over time people will realise the fee we got for James Trafford is the greatest pice of business in the history of Burnley Football Club. Nah....what we got was probably about right...if a bit fortuitous......Ian Moore however is a different story...I'd wager Steve Cotterill is still dining out on ...

I don't think they have! Well....depends if you believe the Brownhill publicity machine and the supposed queue of glamour clubs dying to throw absolute megabucks at him to get him on their rosters. Or if you see a player that Parker was happy to lose in order to get a midfield together that can com...

My Benfiquista mate tells me this morning that dog egg means nothing at all in football or any other subject in Portuguese.
