elwa - just picked up on your post. I'd no idea your dad had passed away. It's some time since I last saw him but really sorry to hear this news.

Thanks Tony taking some getting used to x

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.”

My Dad’s favourite. Surreal that she only survived him by ten days. RIP Connie thanks for the joy you brought him xx

Never heard anyone have a bad word for AW. What a player he was for us, nice to see the respect and love we have for him is returned.

Confirmed departure

I wish him all the very best. I loved his enthusiasm for art and his determination to embrace Burnley after his arrival. Hopefully he can settle into first team football now and have a solid career.

Eyes and ears made me think immediately of Lenny Johnrose.

I was taking Tony’s post as confirmation.

I wouldn’t take Tony’s post as confirmation necessarily, but it does suggest there is a reasonably strong source behind the rumour.

Newcastle live in an alternate universe where they're a big fish. Stay here and commute from Manchester or move to Newcastle. Alternative isn't very tempting

But probably only an hours commute away from his families farm… so an additional 1/4 of an hour each way on current commute.

Truely shocking, I was expecting something football related… that he was going to be late back in Liverpool for training or he was mulling over moving on. How sad. He seemed from those who knew him to be a really nice fella. RIP

Big Gaz posted about Richard the third and the Plantagenets in Yorkshire, and that no royalty really came to east Lancs, but somehow when I tried to reply the post got tangled with my reply and when I tried to disentangle them both were deleted.

Many years ago I read an article that made an argument that The Ridge was the site of Brunanburgh and that there's a couple of burial mounds near Waltons Spire Nelson where the dead from the battle were buried. None of which has been verified and remains conjecture. The big problem we have, being p...

I had heard Brunanbagh was potentially around Worsthorne way Rossendale also has a claim… and what is thought to be remains of ramparts… though an excavation in the 60’s failed to find anything… modern experts point out they didn’t go deep enough (at 6’) as any finds in our area from the period wou...

Love this, could read this kind of localised knowledge all day long!

One of my pet subjects… the A59 Ribchester was a major crossroads in the northwest, hence the fort. It linked York Blackburn and Preston mini forts (eg Walton Summit) to Lancaster and Cumbria. Along the A59 were around thirteen watchtowers between Ribchester and Colne. Above A59 Bowland was largely ...

Didn't somebody say the away strip has claret shorts with the white top?

Looks like the same template to me

If that is the away kit I do like that combination, very much.

Sleeves bellowing over them there, if my short sleeve retro shirt is to believed.

elwaclaret

The short sleeve version of the early 70s kit would have had the same amount of blue as the modern one. Besides, we may well end up with blue socks. Mark Green suggests that is indeed the case. I will keep the powder dry on any further comment regarding my disappointment for now. I may come to like...

elwaclaret

I can see this being hated, but I like it. The sponsor may ruin it if it's that awful massive yellow thing again. After having away's for the last two seasons I may go for this depending on the finished outcome. That I believe is smaller than last season and is blue/blue white not yellow this time.

But we’ve had kits without blue sleeves several times over the last 55 years. We went a full decade, between 69 and 79, with claret sleeves.

Well aware of that… but never have we had so little blue, in the shirt including the early/mid 70’s shirt posted above.

elwaclaret

Inspired by this presumably - 50 years ago... Image credit: https://www.historicalkits.co.uk/ Except that at least had proper blue cuffs and and a thick neckline band to go with the blue BFC. We’ve had more yellow in the home shirt than there is blue in this and still managed to make it look like a...

Silhouette? It looked like crown point rather than pendle on the video but I may be wrong. From the bits I’ve picked up suspect it’s a map contour watermark type of the area in the background of the main colour; rather than a silhouette. If so, I just hope it has been carefully done or it could loo...

They are level with us at the moment.

A little surprised he’s gone permanently. I expected another loan. To me he did not look a million miles off, which led me to believe we were just waiting for that little bit extra and him filling out; but best of luck to him at Wigan, I expect it will not be the last we see of him if he keeps devel...

Remember when we thought Pope could never replace Heaton?

Sad they seem to keep threatening to stabilise only to go through yet another meltdown as a club. They should be a comfortable championship outfit given there size but looks like another difficult season ahead.

not being funny, but what do they think they can achieve with only 150 million

Not much at the level they seem to be aiming, therefore it suggests they are 150m short of their target for said investments.

If signing someone on a free transfer from a lower division club and seeing him star in a team promoted to the top division and go on to play for England before being sold for a huge fee, is never repeatable... ... then who was Tom Heaton? ;) Tom Heaton was an amazing signing… but did not get anywh...

Dobo for free from Bolton. End thread.

I know there's a few old school metallers on here, so any Clarets doing it over the next couple of weeks?

I’ve obviously been doing too much research. I read Iron Maiden and immediately thought of the medieval torture device, with not a thought about the rock band.

burnley007, you missed a smiley off your post. Just because you may not have seen the riots yourself. Sorry , let me take that back,.

While I’m not a fan of multi-club ownership, I can see the attraction of Espanyol and see the potential to dove-tail it with Burnley. How it would work in practice would be interesting.

Switched over for last ten minutes after seeing England were losing. My thoughts… oh at least they have to give it a go for the last ten… oh dear. Surely one day I’ll catch something that makes me want to watch England again.

The problem is we dont know all the facts. The stories I heard were that he wasnt paid (or at least wasnt paid what he was owed). Granted his performances were dreadful, we still entered a contract with him! The claim I’ve heard is it was a percentage of the sales of Gazza shirts…tbh I’m sure there...

Not 1 mention of what Gascoigne went through as a 10 year old child when he was looking after his best friend's brother who died in his arms. That is why Gazza is how he is and why he became the best English footballerof a generation. I have nothing but empathy for him. For anyone calling him names...

If a player gets injured and he's not under contract what happens then...? There are good reasons why a player would sign a contract.

No reason for him to sign the extension, earlier this season he had a couple more years in hand.

Esteve has just signed a 4 year deal with us why should we sell for less? we may find a suitable replacement to be very expensive. I’m pretty sure Esteve knew there would be interest this summer, but signed the deal… this suggests he a) intends to make sure Burnley get a good price, b) intends to c...

I have no great desire for a Ben Mee return, I have no particular problem if the club wants him. However, I certainly do not see why anyone would be ‘aghast’ at the possibility.

Unless AP’s daughter’s Tella obsession has returned (or someone has faked a Burnley official TikTok post) I can understand why people are thinking the Tella deal might be happening or even has been done…
