Not the Turf, but years ago the nobbers installed a plastic pitch and sold off the old pitch in yard square blocks (from memory). At the time I lived between Preston and Blackpool and thought "Why Not?" After all we're all football fans, and I took note of where I laid it on the lawn. After few beer...

No knowledge about whether Raheem would sign for us, but I do know he has a house near Knutsford, so easily commutable for his driver.

Hi Bordeaux, my source is Private Eye and that publication has been running with the Letby case for quite a while. The latest iteration is Part 23, and I quote from the that issue. Please be assured this is but an example. "Evans initially suggested babies had died from injected potassium chloride. ...

Dewi Evans, neonatolgist, the lead prosecution expert, has had his "expertise" questioned post trial by current neonatal practioners and has changed his views on, at least, some of his evidence and it is felt in some quarters that the Letby convictions are, at best, unsafe. Whether or not Letby is t...

Think people had a pop at Don Readies for negotiating with UAE when he was still England Manager.

Trafford - 7 Decent game, overall, and made a couple of good saves. Still makes me nervous when he dallies on the ball, but I, m getting more comfortable that he knows what his options are. Interesting to see how a top premier team will press . Roberts - 6 Made himself very available in midfield to ...

After VK got the Bayern job, surely Scott will be holding out for Real Madrid.

My worry is, I think Real may be a tad more attractive to Scott. Hope I'm wrong.

Edwards 5

You may just wish to check your keyboard.

It looks like some little scoundrel has swapped the "5" and "9" keys - quite a good jape if you can get away with it but easily sussed when there's an obvious mistake like this.

When asked the question, Why Burnley? I always answer because I'm lucky. ..but the interesting thing, to me, is the journey with my elder grandson. Living in Cheshire he was poorly influenced at school and began supporting Chelsea when they were winning everything. After a few seasons when they stop...

...and the same source scored Pires higher than Esteve.

Not that I'm saying that Laurent's performance was exemplary, just be careful with some of these stats.

Hope they both get beat

Trafford - 7 Bit busy tonight dealing with crosses mainly as the defence were superb with blocks Roberts - 7 Decent game, but I really don't get how a right full back scores from there. Games moved on since my day. Egan-Riley - 8 good in defence, long passing perhaps not quite up to his usual standa...

In all seriousness (and apologies for my tone) what I was getting at that there appears to be no evidence that Spurs have made a bid and to then add further conjecture that Levy has gone low because he knows that we are in financial trouble is just adding conjecture on to conjecture. ..and in fairn...

‘Leasing agreement” you say ?

Please enlighten us uneducated folk what you mean.

Apologies - factoring.

Claret Toni

Not sure any of that makes much sense I regret you found my comment unintelligible, so for clarity: 1. In my view Daniel Levy, the Spurs chairman, has a history of, shall we say, being careful with money. As such it would be no surprise to me if he offered Burnley, what Burnley fans might consider ...

Claret Toni

Hate to put a dampener on things but £20m for Esteve does sound like a typical Levy bid, and perhaps he knows more about our current finances.

Hope I'm wrong.

A lot of talk about Trafford's antics, but let's not forget, after all that:

Both penalties were on target and needed saving
The 2nd was very well struck and Trafford produced a really good save.

Claret Toni

Trafford 9 - Dwells on the ball too much for my liking and very nearly caught out by it in the 1st half, but lack of movement up front doubtless a contributory factor. However 2 penalty saves (and they were decent penalties) is exceptional. Roberts 6 - Up against their "world beater" winger and gene...

A bit cordon bleu for the great unwashed, now if your talking about a nice munch of hay, where better?

Claret Toni

Trafford - 7 A couple of good saves, but ponderous - may have been the lack of movement up front - almost dispossessed on 1 occasion, and CJ seemed to lose confidence in him when Traff failed to come to collect and CJ put the fall out of play, then did it a few times after that. Roberts - 6 Not at h...

Pig sick of being in Burnley.

Claret Toni

Well, I for one left the turf refreshed on Wednesday night.

Of course I'd slept through most of the 2nd Half, only to be woken up by Hannibal's sending off. It was a surprise 'cos I didn't even know he was playing.

I see it is now open season on Muric. He was excellent for us bar a few blips, let's not pretend otherwise.

Mind those blips were on a different level to most blips.

Claret Toni

Don't know if he can display those with the shirts, and to be honest I don't really care, I'm just thrilled and delighted he's back on the grass.

It's been a long hard road and there's still plenty to do, but he clearly knows that.

Made my day.

Went in for some teacakes. Saw a packet of 3 so told the cashier I didn't need to pay as an old lady had already paid for them. A manager was called, but I don't what he was called as I left.

Cant remember the exact match but Owen Coyle came on as a sub and played in goal for the last 10 mins of a League Cup game when he was our manager.
