Thanks for the advice guys. All sorted now, phew! Saved me from having 3 very disappointed boys

Just got in to discover my Villa tickets haven’t arrived yet

order them on Tuesday and thought it’d be plenty of time.

Has anyone had any experience of this and got advice of what to do next? I’ll try and contact the ticket office in the morning but don’t know if there’s anything they can do?

Good spot!

We’ve got Defour (doo doo doo doo doo doo)

Jack Cork and Westwood
But we’ve still got Ulvestad

We’ve got Heaton,

We’ve got Joey

With the signing of Nkoudou, I make that 5 who played for Burnley and Marseille. Joey Barton Steven Fletcher Trevor Steven Chris Waddle All before him. Have we had so mamy play for one foreign club before? Scottish clubs aside I doubt it. Burnley twinned with Marseille. Has a ring to it. They have ...

Billy O'Rourke is nowhere near our worst keeper. Seems a lot of people put him down because of the famous 7-0 on his debut. He was only 19, thrown in the deep end in front of the TV cameras and was badly let down by his defence that day. Left the field in tears and was named man of the match by the ...

Indeed you did CT. I was just making the distinction that there is no requirement to have any HGPs, contrary to popular belief that you must have 8

Formerbfcmanager

Danny Ings wouldn't have needed to be listed as homegrown or not 3 years ago if he met the criteria for u21 that year. To clarify the rules on homegrown. An HGP means a player who, irrespective of nationality or age, has been registered with any club affiliated to The Football Association or the Foo...

Formerbfcmanager

This explains it There's actually a subtle difference in the actual rules. There is no requirement to have 8 homegrown players, the rule actually states that you can have no more than 17 players that do not fulfil the homegrown criteria and the rest, up to a maximum of 25, must be home grown. It is...

Available on a permanent deal, could be a canny buy. Quality player plus a fellow Belgian could help keep Defour happy

A poor man's Adel Taarabt. Can't see Sean going for a player like this that could upset the balance of the group

Cafe at Putsborough beach run by a Claret as well. Ask for Tony and you should get a discount.

Wrong on all 3 counts. He's actually based in Portland, and lived in the U.K. from age 8 til about 3 years ago when he relocated his family. I presume he payed tax during that time, unless you've seen his tax returns.

Our promotion season was 2008/09 not 2009/10

I can confirm Dave Burnley was at Alfreton as he was 2 seats down from me.

I've seen him play 30ish games for Chesterfield and he'll probably do pretty well in L2, or L1 at a push, but n...

No point doing this £30 cap if concessions are nearly as much. Concessions should always have to be half price or less imo

I'd be astonished if it was Duff given the priority is the first teamers and he doesn't have anything to do with them. I'd guess it'll be Dyche and Duff at Alfreton and Woan, Loughlan and Farrell at Kidderminster. Either way I'll be at Alfreton to lend Sean a hand if required

I'd imagine Ian Woan will

People getting confused between contracts here. There are 2 separate contracts involved. One is a contract between the selling club and the buying club. This will state all the ins and outs of the transfer, including when payments are due, add ons, sell ons etc. The other is a contract between the p...

By first team squad I presume you mean players who train together, seeing as we can only name 25 players in our Premier League squad? Those additional players could of course be used in cup games but 30/31 seems a bit heavy to me. As others have said it's 25 players plus an unlimited number of u21s...

Cork was great for us and is highly experienced at this level. The signings we are making and being linked with say to me that Dyche is very keen to recruit the personnel nedded to allow a change from 4-4-2 if the situation might be needed. Walters allows us the option of playing him as a wide forw...

Any forward looking business would look to increase its customer base at a time like this. There is definitely scope to increase our capacity but I don't think filling in the corners is the solution.

That is a Mercedes G-Wagon. Mercedes and Jeep are two different manufactures :D (Not being an arse, just genuinely wanted to know) :lol: He was clearly using jeep in the generic sense, as in a Merc in the style of a jeep, rather than referring to the brand itself. The term jeep predates the brand J...

Don't like this or who's that lying on the carpet either. I also don't like the Oh Burnalee one either but I normally just sing Clarets, Clarets and Clarets for that one.

Ideally we need 4 centre backs I think. We've been lucky with injuries and suspensions over the last 2 seasons. Not sure if Kevin Long is good enough but I think a spell on loan in the Championship would be more beneficial for him than warming to bench and playing development squad games. I'd be wor...

I'm with Claretspice on this, thought he was ok when there wasn't much pressure on him but ended up on his backside for the first goal when he should have been Lowton's cover, and was stood doing nothing for their 2nd.

Double negatives generally are grammatically incorrect, whereas double use of a word is a style issue.

Personally I don't tend to get my knickers in a twist about that sort of thing. If it's good enough for Pink Floyd and The Rolling Stones, who am I to argue

Joey Barton has been an exemplary professional in both his spells with us and yet some fans are turning on him for giving a little bit back of what the Lincoln players were up to all game.
