I remember most of our fans being embarrassed by Joey Barton being hit by a bottle of coke thrown by one of our fans, but there were definitely a surprising number who thought it was funny.

That bang on the head is still affecting Joey.

Lost its way a bit from series 4 onwards.

My favourite episode is still the weed grow one, with our Ronnie in series 1.

Agree with that being the best episode. Looks like Ronnie is back in episode 3.

I'm also going to say the 0-6 pumping by City in 1999. Stan offered to resign, but BK backed him. Think we lost the next game v Preston, but played much better, then went unbeaten for the rest of the season before being promoted the next.

Beating Plymouth 2-1 under Waddle. Going back to the 4th division again would have been grim.

Definitely this. I doubt we'd have tempted Stan to come and manage us in the 4th tier. God knows where we'd be now.

I vaguely remember the one on Woodgrove Road, being at the top of the hill past the astroturf.
This also reminds me of Juliet Bravo - there was an episode where a clip was filmed on Hollingreave Road.

Juliet Bravo filmed in Nelson quite often when I was a kid.

Kicked the Bouquet.

They were hoping for an 80th minute abandonment.

If you've seen one episode then you've seen them all!

Agree, weakest one yet. Hope it gets better. Looks like they've lost a coule of characters and have replaced them poorly.

My memory isnt what it was, but wasn't it because when Waddle came in he demanded we use Van Halen's 'Jump'?

I still cant listen to that song.

That's true about Waddle and Jump, but i think we ditched Tina long before then. Didn't we walk out to Tom Hark in between, or was that after Jump?

Well we’ve just rested our entire starting side ahead of a trip to Man City and forfeited our spot in the cup to do so. Let’s see if it was worth it, I suspect we’ll get beat at City regardless of the team we put out. Might have been better playing our first team in the cup and making 11 changes fo...

Has he earned a song?

How does he earn it? And is it linked to earning the right to call him by his name?

I don't eat onions. It works for me.

I'd struggle to think of anything less appealing.

The game where Cowan scored his overhead kick was against Macclesfield in 1999 (the result was 4-3) The abandoned game was against Port Vale on Boxing Day 1994 Always remember Ted McMinns diving celebration into the water in that game :lol: The replayed game was indeed 4-3 I was locked out of The L...

I'd dock Rovers 25 points for making a ridiculous suggestion.

It must be a clause in the Match of the Day employment contracts that no credit should be given to Burnley whatsoever as the previous bunch were exactly the same.

They gave us plenty of credit last week

Deakin & Daniel.

Absolutely baffling that Forest persisted in attacking down our right the way he was playing. Glad they did, though.

TheFamilyCat

Is this like expected goals?

TheFamilyCat

Early in the season but is this showing Michael Carrick up as a poor manager (despite his xg

)?

Small Faces - Tin Soldier
The Cure - Inbetween Days
The Cult - She Sells Sanctuary

She Sells Sanctuary

I'd personally go for Push over Inbetween Days by The Cure.

Great intro. They should try it as the walk out music on the turf...I bet it'd go down a treat

They played it one game last season in the build up to kick off.

I don't think naming white ones is going to give us the answer.

It's more fun though.

Surely we're better than just naming every black former Claret?

Brilliant player.

I’d love to see VVD have to deal with the forwards the likes of Vidic/Terry had to back in the day.

Funny you should mention that. A mate shared an argument they were having at work on our WhatsApp group - who was best: VVD, Terry or Adams.

I am sorry if I have pulled this thread off line as it were but out and out number 9s one comes to mind which most will hate me for is Alan Shearer , have to say best penalty taker I have seen as he when for the top corner close to every one . I also hate to say it, but has to be Shearer. With Liam...

So are North Yorkshire. There are no fixed speed cameras in N Yorks, but they don't half love getting out in the vans.

Always one somewhere on the A64 between the M1 and the end of the York bypass.

TheFamilyCat

Yes

1. Bunkers
2. Mulitball minutes
3. When a player is yellow carded, they have to play the rest of the game in clown shoes

Just finished watching the series. Absolutely love this programme. Gutted there was only four episodes.

TheFamilyCat

Burnley fans love a runner

Finsley Gate Wharf doesn't get too busy (although from limited experience). Plenty of street parking around there too.

TheFamilyCat

It's as bad as people who say Tannoy when they mean "public address system". Tannoy is a brand name.

Dubious decision there. The ball wasn't fully past the bat when the spike for the sound went up.

One of my most hated things in football .
Never understand the people buy them .

They're a long way down my list tbh, behind diving, VAR, crap pundits, sportswaahing owners, Richarlison, overpriced pies, FIFA, the Champions League, **** refs etc, etc.

Wonder if him signing will help boost their average attendances - currently just under 3k, which would be the 23rd best if
Al Shabab competed in League 2.

Apparently there's a large Preston ex-pat population in Shabab and they're hoping signing Brownhill will generate some interest amongst them.

Also watched all four episodes this week. Pressley in the Manchester team was such a joyful and positive lad. Him and his mum definitely had a Burnley twang to their accents.

Presley is like a 40 year old man in a 12 year oldest body.

A different saga, isn't it?

TheFamilyCat

The lesser nations playing each other more frequently, rather than just turning up and parking the bus against the likes of England will be better for their development too.

TheFamilyCat

I was born in 1976. I didn't play football for England, or indeed anyone, because I was fat and ****.

TheFamilyCat

None of the attacking team claiming a goal should have been a clue.

TheFamilyCat

Four minutes and nobody has said they won't be watching. Must be a record.

TheFamilyCat

Yeah, but they don't have the Pukka Pies band playing The Great Escape on repeat.

Arthur Werrett. Caygill sold the out of date Mars bars.

What is the square leg umpire doing stood there? I noticed it one game earlier in the summer too.
