It reminded me of Pilky’s goal against Hamburg (was it Hamburg?) in the European Cup all those years ago.

Yes it was against Hamburg at the Turf in Quarter Final of the Champions League (European Cup then)

Complete Rubbish. As others have said Venkys have put millions into the club. Kept it competitive in the Championship. ALK will not act like this. They have no money to invest. They have bought the club to make money. Hopefully they will be successful. Because that will mean the football team has be...

Well I'm really pleased we didn't sell him . He's a match winner. We all know that. I was close by in the Longside. He was seriously injured. So couldn't continue.But you could see other players believe in him . They kept playing to him after he came on. Twice got into his favourite goalscoring posi...

Just talked to Ticket office. They say Platinum members can buy on Monday and Season ticket holders with 2000 points on Tuesday.

Tella not to sure , yes he was great last season and he knows where the net is but we will never know if he could produce in this team . . Well Tella has produced for the best team in the Bundesliga at a similar level to last season in the championship. 5 goals and 3 assists in 730 mins for Leverku...

Kompany is a young manager learning. Last season most things worked very well. This season he's made lots of mistakes and we've had a terrible season. So sack him and get no benefit of two seasons experience. Or keep him and write off this season to his development. Look at Lampard Rooney and Gerrar...

Great recording. I saw Melanie live at the Isle of Wight. Went there to see The Who. But really liked Melanie singing late in the evening.

Plenty to choose from. I go for a Match at Bramall Lane but not the one others have chosen. 1962 on the way to Wembley. We won 1-0.in the sixth round. In those days there was a crowd on only three sides as Yorkshire also played cricket there!! Others : 9-0 v New Brighton with a Jimmy Mac hat trick i...

We want it to happen but are just being realistic. That’s all.

Yes we want it to happen. So as supporters we need to believe it's possible. The example of Leicester quoted earlier should give us hope.
Let's be supportive.

Merry Christmas, surrounded by plates of pierogi, barsch soup etc, celebrating traditional Christmas Eve. Best to you all.

Merry Christmas to you . Hope you have lots of sour cream for the pierogi.!!

Thought he had a good game.
Was in control of things. Correctly booked Roberts (first yellow for being a dxxx.
Stopped some quick throw ins being taken from wrong place. Decisions generally seemed fair on both sides.
So A 20, B 20, C 20, D 20.

Prices: Daily travel card or using contactless are the same price. Kew Bridge is in Zone 3 .so if you are coming to Euston and want to travel in central London then go to Kew Bridge and return to Euston the fare will be capped at 9.60 for an adult. You can use tube , bus ,national rail, overground w...

Picking up a few points. You can use contactless payment on National Rail (Waterloo or Vauxhall) to Kew Bridge. Make sure you always use the same card throughout the day otherwise the system will think there are two of you and won't aggregate the journeys. Also make sure you tap in and out every tim...

I'm sat here with everyone else just waiting to see what the situation is. There must be some real concern that they are not going to be ready.

Maybe the house away fans go through to get in needs a lick of paint.

I think we should offer to go and do the painting.

If Qg8 then black plays knight to e6 and there is no mate on next move for white

I was wrong there is Qa8 which is checkmate.

I've just seen that if Qg8 and black plays Knight e6 then Qa8 is checkmate. So I think Qg8 is the answer

What a fantastic season and Vincent Kompany has earned massive respect for what he has achieved. We have all been particularly impressed by the massive change achieved in how we play. But you cannot become Burnley's best ever manager with just one seasons performance. You are competing with : John H...

claret54

You're over-simplifying there. At that level auditors do quite a bit more than just audit the accounts (as can be seen from the fact that only about half of the fee paid to the auditors was for the audit). The situation here is that Burnley FC have not produced audited accounts on time. Nothing to ...

claret54

So the club are telling lies? Unfortunately that seems that it might to be the case. Certainly they are not being clear on why they changed auditors. To say that it is 'to improve the club and move forward Burnley Football Club' is hard to believe. What do Auditors do. They audit the accounts. That...

I've just been watching him today. Definitely Burnley's best ever number 9.

Admittedly Tony I’m not a Bob Lord expert, I mean bear in mind my post was slightly facetious- all I know is that he was opposed to having live matches broadcast on TV. Happy to be wrong though Bob Lord was opposed to live TV matches only because he thought clubs were not getting paid enough from t...

If you were advising VK on his long term development you would definitely say stay at Burnley for at least 3seasons. Managers need to develop their skills. Gerrard should have stayed at Rangers. Get more experience, learn. Lampard should have stayed at Derby and developed his skills. It's hard to be...

The police on horses are a danger to all supporters. Police like a fight. Disgraceful. I nearly got stepped by horse after Newcastle game last season. Police totally over the top. And completely unaware of the danger they pose to law-abiding supporters. Police on horses should not be allowed.

England are the last country to be pointing fingers. Fighting in Iraq, Syria, dealing inhumanly with asylum seekers, treating low paid workers badly.
Let's just play football.

Time for Alan Pace to do something about the problem at the Turf. No good having health and safety policies if you don't do something about an obvious problem for players safety.

And what's happened to the Christmas Day game!!! I really like having two games in two days.

claret54

Spurs away 1960/61 season. 4-0 down after about 35 mins and 4-1 at half time. Game finished 4-4 in a week. I met Jimmy Mac about ten years ago and he told me that was the best game he had ever played in. He told Danny Blanchflower his good friend and Spurs captain to watch out in the second half!!

I was lucky to be at Turf Moor for the first leg as I was for the first leg against Rheims in the first round Great memories. RIP Uwe Seeler. I too was there. Two of the most exciting matches ever at the Turf. And two of the best performances ever by the Clarets. Seeler and Kopa (Rheims) were two o...

Switch to Octopus if EDF are messing you about.

Do not switch to Octopus. They are perfectly ok if you have no problems. But if you do get a problem they are hopeless at sorting things out

It's football. Allover the world. Only north America call it soccer. So stand up against America wanting to change the name.

How about kicking Chelski out of the league? It's an edifice to Russian money for sure.

Chelsea should be relegated to National league South.

I use Octopus energy but did go for a smart meter because its very beneficial to me as an EV driver.

I think I'd avoid making an issue of Rovers debt situation for the time being.

We've all praised Garlick and JB over the years for their management of the club. But it seems that they have now sold their shares at a very high price. You could say good for them. But it's not good for the club. They haven't put the club first in their dealings with ALK. Consequently the future i...
