I reckon everyone who wants one, will get one. It's in middle of summer holidays and London isn't cheap.

My 'Following' timeline on Twitter is almost entirely football trivia, dogs getting rescued and local cricket updates. It's quite pleasant. If it ever flips to 'For You', then it's all Albanian immigrants are setting fire to your kids, take some CBD oil and buy Crypto to make it better.

Our first and fifth were excellent finishes. The ones Sweden smashed over were the worst ones, but it’s not as if we’ve never watched our men do exactly the same, is it? You just know if it had been 8-7 on penalties, it'd have been a case of 'look how useless these women keepers are'. A lot of peop...

Women’s football is a huge participation sport now, look at the number of girls playing every week. It’s great. The standard - compared to where it is now, not compared to men’s football which is an entirely different sport - will only improve. When the current Lionesses were juniors they were likel...

I don’t know any of the stats behind this, but from watching 10 minutes of that, I’d suggest Lucy Bronze is possibly one of our best 5 penalty takers. What was she on, 7th or 8th?!

There seems to be a big focus on possession and attacking in these videos

Only when we're playing against Burnley though.

Selling your better players off cheaply to pay that month's wage bill doesn't feel a sustainable strategy.

I bet they also had a good few well informed fans that couldn’t wait to to say ´ this as bin comin, it was barnd t happen ´ I’ve a feeling we might have a few of them when it goes titsup. Tapping their knowledgeable snecks. As a mere punter, football is fairground ride. Just enjoy the up and downs....

Every club has well informed fans keen to tell you how huge debts are actually great and won’t ever be a problem. Bolton did, Leeds, Blackburn.. Man Utd (well actually to be fair, they did see a problem coming). Not like us though, our vast debt really is practical and manageable. It’s actually a go...

Takeover has fallen through apparently, in serious trouble now.

I was going to go for Nick Pickering, but he's not really obscure, despite only making a few appearances about 30 years ago.

Anyone who was there in the 90s will remember the LET headline: 'Clarets sign England international'.

Walked most of the Mendip Way in June, until my back seized up, ironically on the easy stretch into Frome! Then a long weekend in Airbnb in Cotswolds. Looking to go to Venice area in September, to research my wife's ancestry in Padua area. Joining up with an Italian couple who are from Padua area (...

Mad how the ‘Best club side in the world’ finished 4th, 6th and 12th over the last 3 years in England.

Probably watch a bit of England Women match. No interest in the Chelsea exhibition game at all.

I thought we did well for injuries last year. Apart from the long term ones - and let's be honest, we don't know how effective Ramsay or Trevor will be anyway yet - we seemed to have our main men available most of the time. Can't remember Steve, Brownhill, Cullen or Trafford (we can agree our best p...

The idea Infantino wants to nobly redistribute European money and power to the rest of the world, rather than just tap into Saudi, US and Qatari wealth to fill FIFA’s coffers is actually comical. The Super League will happen. The Club World Cup will be a big deal and the Saudi League will be a big p...

Might be wrong but I thought he did an interview a while back where he said it almost became a good luck charm for him, so he keeps wearing it

Phil Foden lost his powers when he took off his wrist cast. Keep it, Steve.

My Dad and I saw a Crichton sprinting in to the ground about 2.30 that day at Huddersfield.

He definitely turned up late.

Me and my dad were in the car behind George Oghani in1988 on Brunshaw Road at about 2:15 once. He still started the match.

NottsClaret

He’s a decent player but our squad is really weird now.

NottsClaret

I know you make your own luck but that night at Forest set him back big time. Totally unfair too.

NottsClaret

I'm just excited for another lengthy legal battle. This is what football is all about.

I wouldn't get too bothered by little anecdotes like that, about who questioned what. Everyone on podcasts / after dinner circuits has their catalogue of stories to fall back on, he's said the same sort of stuff dozens of times. But however he - or we - remember 'the noise' as he would call it, it's...

NottsClaret

Weird there's no communication about this - well, it should be weird but not surprising maybe for us. I don't really get this concern about needing such a separation with away fans after the game, feels a bit overblown that. Pretty much every ground you go to, you spill out of the away end straight ...

They're a pain but one positive is they do really help attendances at clubs way down the pyramid, they noticeably increase when it's an international break. Not that I imagine for a second that's what FIFA or the FA are thinking about.

Football now is there to provide an endless stream of 'content', clicks and views. Highlights for fanboys to repost on social, little clips for TikTok. Burnley doesn't generate any of that, unless we happen to be the cannon fodder in the background, getting battered by the latest superstar that week...

We’re a very small fish in a big pond. We used to be the biggest club in the fourth division. It doesn’t really matter.

I'm a bit surprised about us not being on TV at Old Trafford but other than behind closed doors, I'm not sure we have ever been.

They don't start showing relegation 6 pointers until nearer the end of the season.

The Lib Dems wanted to add it as a condition of the ongoing football governance bill. It got rejected.

I went to see them a few times 30 years ago, when for 12-18 months I thought they were amazing. Great to see so many youngsters going now, it was similar at the Roses reunion gigs a few years back. Not my thing this time round but hope everyone has a cracking day out, sounded better than I expected ...

If there's any part time Padiham fans looking for a bit of early football, their 1st preliminary FA Cup match is at Penistone Church, August 2nd. Good, friendly club, easy to get to from either Sheffield / Huddersfield on train, a few decent pubs and a nice town. Home of John Stones.

NottsClaret

He played two games? You seriously judge players off two games, in a completely new team, new country, under a new manager, off two games? Weird. To be fair, I'd judged him after 10 minutes of that Cadiz friendly. Doesn't matter what we think either way. It'd be nice if he makes it obviously, nowt ...

I was disappointed at the time, and for the first part of the season. The game at Sheff Utd did make me think he knew exactly what he was doing, even if it wasn't going to be thrilling. There's a lot to be said for quiet competence, if that sounds like a veiled criticism, it isn't. Weirdly, way befo...

Not two minutes before that winner Barnes and Aldridge were shaking hands on the halfway line, job done. I was praying for an Arsenal goal after seeing that. As wonderful a player as John Barnes was, he absolutely had to take it to the corner about 30 seconds before Arsenal’s winner. Dyche would ha...

Michael Thomas in ‘89 is better than Glass and Aguero. It’ll never be topped.

Don’t mind it. Will probably get one for going gym when it’s £25 next April.

Exactly it. Same as the Jay Slater saga.

Unrelated, but I went to one with Gerry Taggart a couple of weeks ago. Funny guy, sound lad too. Only Burnley connection was he really rated Brendan O’Connell when they were at Barnsley together.

Sad to see, but he clearly can’t walk normally yet. It’s a fair jump from that to competing at the highest level of professional football.

Yep and they wore white coats and carried a large wicker basket at least the guy in Accy did.

Exactly how I remember it, ‘cockle man’ came round every Friday night, always surprisingly popular. Big guy with a beard in Ossy, mid-90s.

How many women are expecting or asking for equal pay? How many are unaware of the huge differences between male and female sport? I don’t know any.

I read the thread first and was expecting something terrible. Yes, the logo is too big as on every shirt - and from an aesthetic point of view, not very legible. But it’s alright and a good sponsor. I’d happily swap.

NottsClaret

It's a fairly big squad, and reasonably youthful. And for the Championship, it's an excellent squad. This isn't a criticism before anyone gets too senisitive. But there's only two players on there that another existing Prem club would be interested in - that's the scale of the task.

NottsClaret

I’m not Team Pace or Team Garlick or whoever. They’ve all done some things well, and others that worried me at the time. But as long as we keep bouncing back to the Prem on the first go, we can keep kicking the can down the road. Everyone knows we’re screwed as soon as that doesn’t come off, but tha...

Yeah, it’s a real shame what Chansiri is doing to a proper big old club. It’s going to be so hard to turn it round, a huge crumbling stadium, debt, a poor squad.. the future looks bleak for them.

NottsClaret

You'd hope he'll get to play again somewhere at some point. But 18 months out, to come back into a ridiculously physical, athletic Premier League.. I don't know, feels very unlikely.

Music videos were once a proper ‘event’ and were often given as much credence as the song, culminating in the high point of the mid/late 90’s to early 00’s. Unfortunately the changing musical landscape has made them if not redundant, then certainly less important. Some of the very best were Aphex T...

Nice colours for all fans of the four colour lithographic printing process out there.

NottsClaret

Anyone thinking that's a tough start is in for a shock. Last season, every team we're facing was better than our first 3 opponents, bar Wolves. It's the easiest start we could possibly have had.

That fact we're worried about it kind of says where we are.
