Oh dear. Time of the month?

I have no idea what your reason is, I didn’t even know you were female. Maybe see a doctor.

It makes more sense than yours, pal.

Do I know you or is ‘pal’ another example of your articulate use of language?

So am I....seeing that Fulham said no to the deal.

I hope so. That would not a signing I’d want to see DL making.

Burnley Fotball Club has never just hired from Burnley… in fact the original idea of forming the team was to encourage weavers from Blackburn to move to the new cotton boomtown. One of the first mentions of the club in the newspapers was Burnley scouts being railroaded out of Dundee while scouting p...

Seems to be even more unrest online about VAR this season, hopefully the rising number of dissenting voices will finally start to have an effect.

We are three games into a new season at the elite level, why don’t we let the lad find his feet before writing him off.

I got turned down for a credit card last month. All Jim bloody Callaghan's fault.

More likely the backlash to the Credit economy of the Blair years… a case in point of the supposed ‘left’ adopting boom and bust policies usually the domain of the right.

Apologies, I should have posted my message on the Society thread, but it was going through my mind at the time of typing. I do think that a lot of today's problems within society go back to Thatcher. I also believe that people like this moron are a symptom of society's breakdown, but not the only o...

What struck me last night was the first time he was on the ball he was taken out by a Derby defender. Had it been Benson he’d likely have been on the treatment table a month. Mike rubbed his knee got up and carried on. I have no more real knowledge than anyone else on here offering opinions. I want ...

Like I said, I'd prefer not to move, but would happily put up with it if meant we'd been successful over a number of years and had outgrown turf Moor. It is difficult to envisage any time when we will outgrow the Turf. There is ample room for further expansion on two sides of the ground should it b...

It’s just bricks and mortar, I don’t think it has a preservation order on it. If you knocked down each side gradually to replace it with more appropriate stands over a period of four years, would that still qualify as an ancestral home? It’s similar to Triggers broom. As a historian I could not dis...

Both felt like really big clubs in the nineties and probably into the noughties as well. They had some big names in football like Larsson, Laudrup etc. Then Rangers had massive financial issues and were relegated to the third division and suddenly Celtic no longer had the same competition driving t...

I find it strange that Burnley supporters would ever pine to leave our ancestral home. It’s like wanting to leave Buck House to build a Trump Tower.

TG Jones is a rebranding (apparently). Nothing has really changed, except a number of stores have (or will be) closed. The news article I was reading a few weeks back poured scorn on the firm because the name TG Jones is entirely made up by "marketing people" and has no historical significance what...

Just watching the brilliant Roy Orbison,didnt know the Bruce Springsteen was in his backing group. Elvis’s favourite singer.

I think it’s been in the main dreadful. Reminds me of a kids game all at hundred miles an hour with the odd decent passing move.

Really odd. Guardiola insists on keepers who can pass a ball. Donnarumma's one major weakness is...his passing. I’ve read reports suggesting Guardiola will be changing City’s formula quite a bit next season; much more direct, to counter the passing style that has become the norm and he feels they n...

I had the misfortune of working with loads of band wagon jumpers in the nineties when Walker was throwing his money around,for me the more times we can beat them the better. Most of us had similar experiences. However, we have a difficult season ahead why would you want a hollow victory against a v...

The use of ‘academics’ as a slur against reason is hilarious, and typical of the current brainwashing trend seen most often attacking the humanities departments in Universities both sides of the Atlantic.

My lad starts high school on September. One benefit we’ve had is that he can wear PE kit as opposed to a blazer and shirt. He really struggles with buttons and can’t stand the noise of fastening them. While I want him to start addressing the issue I am happy that they’ve taken the stress away in hi...

There's still a lot of misunderstanding about it. I'll tell you my typical experiences with it. 1. Impulsivity - both good and bad, can be terrible for personal finance and relationships, but also gives a drive to seek new/novel experiences and ways of thinking. 2. Having bouts of energy. This is r...

Without wishing to undermine anyone who truly has any problems, I have overheard conversations where poor parenting, leading to unruly kids, who have not been taught anything, are being pushed for an ADHD diagnosis, so the parents can claim help benefits!

Didn’t Wrexham and Birmingham have a request to have their league game played in America rejected last season? I seem to remember the FA refused as it would set an unhealthy precedent.

Scousers booing the National anthem as they don’t consider themselves to be English… there must be a hell of a lot of historians in Liverpool. Do they consider themselves Brigantian, Scottish (pre Hadrian’s Wall), or Welsh… early Medieval (Bede)? Maybe we should declare our independence for the Bron...

He bought a hotel in Clitheroe after he finished playing but it’s a lot of years ago now. He’s 70 now and I think he and Billy Rodaway played in the same Liverpool schools team. From Wikki sounds like he’s been working as part of the Birmingham City match day hospitality meeters and greeters most r...

We've had considerably worse. I said apart from those two early games, he didn't play for two years. It was actually three, he didn't play in the Buchan/Cavanagh season either. But we had Jim Hegarty then and Joe was better on one leg. One thing is for certain their wasn’t many strikers didn’t pull...

I liked Twiney, but he went down like he’d been shot on more than one occasion when we played Bristol City on the Turf last season. That could be what he was being asked to do to be fair. I think the other night he looked to be filling out a bit. For me that was his big problem (beside the obvious ...

I don't think he was the model pro - he did like a drink - but the help he gave the Junior Clarets back then (when it was run independently from the club), turning up at all their meetings. He got involved with a lot of supporters club stuff at the time too along with Vince Overson for a while. Two...

Don't think Benson had much to do with it but Bond hit the roof when he got back. He tried to get the deal cancelled but whoever we appealed to declared Joe fit which was a joke. We played our first game under Bond against St Mirren in the Isle of Man and we'd got to the ground before the team. The...

He was the club doctor at the time so I would thing he and Jimmy Holland would have done the medical. I don’t think it was very sophisticated back then and there were suggestions that West Ham hadn’t sent all the relevant medical information and they wouldn’t get away with that now. Today’s medical...

yeah I can't remember him saying it in his post match interview that I posted but Matt Scrafton has got it from somewhere, likely in the presser post match (or he's making it up but I can't see the value in that).

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

Has a good reputation in the women’s game, I thought briefly after he left City he might b on AP’s radar as there was a lot of noise about the women’s team around the same time.

Pleased to have an established and experienced number one. He’s been one of the top keepers and I’m hopeful he will be a solid last line next season.

Find it strange that a club like Wednesday, in big financial problems, sticks its neck out and gets 3,300 tickets, which sell instantly By contrast, we play Spurs at a ground twice the capacity of Leicester, on our first return to the PL having gained 100 points/two defeats/ record clean sheets etc...

I see absolutely no problem with grounding young players this way.

Why can’t the posts be deleted and 2 or 3 posters banned instead of ruining it for all?

Probably because it’s a lot quicker. I’d be very surprised if the thread is not unlocked once the message should have sunk in for those not getting the message from the warning signs.

Do we think it is right that one person can lock a thread? I get why it was locked, but we need somewhere every transfer window to discuss rumours. Wasn't the solution more moderators or turning off notifications? If posters refuse to take any notice of warnings… they are higher up the thread inclu...

Makes me feel old just how much the game I grew up with has changed. Not so much that the club hire a set piece coach so much as the fact this one must have decided he was going to work on being a professional football coach at about 12.

I remember him collecting the ball for a throw-in on the Bob Lord and someone yelling “Jones you’re crap!” He looked up smiled, and shouted back; “I must be you lot are trying to sign me.” Saw him play a good few times at the back end of his career, a real character and quality player who loved play...

I bought a pair of jeans in about 20 years ago. On the back pocket was a print of Snoop Dog’s autograph. Seeing it an acquaintance who considered himself ‘with it’ smirked, “Do you even know who Snoop Dog is? “
I reploed, “well, obviously he makes jeans.”
