I mean, I also cried laughing when Beckham skied his penalty (the one when the spot moved) ~ 20 yr ago. I switched it on because multiple people said "you have to watch this", and I thought I'd give it a fair shot. I'll give it another go at the next tournament and try to be objective about it! ‘Yo...

They maybe the best in Europe, still not of the highest standard when the technique on display is lacking. In 2022 MinJee Lee was statistically better from the fairway in approach shot proximity than even the best guys on the PGA tour - that's a credit to the level of her technique and execution, g...

And by using the same extreme logic those who love use the gambling sponsors like yourself will surely be putting out the bunting ? Surprisi...

Suppose an element of comparison is inevitable if you watch a lot of the same sport As said it is possible to enjoy both men’s and women’s football or to just enjoy one of these or one more than the other etc…..no wrong answer here !

Sounds like he hates it :D I always thought Lee Westwood was regarded as one of golf’s good guys. He is. Met him when he was first breaking through as his manager Chubby Chandler was a commercial customer of mine. His first 2 clients in golf were Lee Westwood and Darren Clarke. Westwood is a big No...

Nope he disrespected the open years ago when he had a poor finish , said it didn’t matter as it was just an average tournament, arsehole , never liked him since . Really ? He’s called it the greatest tournament in golf many times so cannot believe he would ever say it didn’t matter. He still loves ...

How about inverting the full backs, using a double pivot and two 6’s, an 8, a false 9, 2 tens and a 9.5?

Ladies and gentlemen. England will be playing four, four fu*%ing, two.

Can’t wait - one of my favourite few days of the year. Gutted I can’t be there but tickets were impossible to get. Just waiting to find out whether I’ve got them in the ballot for next year.

No one appears to have asked the most important question. Are we now all fans of Espanyol? Will we go to watch Espanyol when we are in Spain for our holidays?

If money is being taken out of ALK Group into a personal account of Alan Pace then to me nobody can say he is personally benefiting.

I don’t understand why you are so bothered, surely in this time you could of provided some evidence to show Alan Pace is benefitting personally. You don’t have to agree with me its ok.

Right so ALK as a group are benfitting but not Alan Pace personally, and ALK only benefit if Burnley and now Espanyol are successful which is the point I was making to start with

Are you seriously asking how companies work ?
Do you not find any of this even a little embarrassing ?

The only reason he does not ”need to know all the ins and outs” is because he has not got the first clue what any of all this means.

Well, we aren't under the illusion that he hasn't been taking a salary are we?

At the level he works at, outside of matchdays, it really doesn't matter if he's in Burnley, or Barcelona. He will spend a chunk of time there as it is a new acquisition. That's normal for any business. It's not like Burnley are left rudderless. Haven't we got a new CEO figure recently, as well as ...

Not sure on the accuracy of this report around Espanyol being the parent club given we are far bigger than them in financial terms. But whether it’s true or not I’m still massively against the multi club ownership model irrespective of whether we are the parent club or the feeder club. If Espanyol a...

Got this clarification from the Club - As its out of a fans control if the ticket they have listed is purchased, we will reward the 5 points regardless. What kind of statement is that ?

The average number of goals scored by the 4 teams finishing 14-17th in 2024-25 was 52 (and it was skewed by Spurs scoring 64 – more than several teams in the top 8). In 2023-24 it was 49. In 2022-23 it was 38 and in 2021-22 it was 45. Obviously it also depends on how good we are defensively (as Spu...

Jakub is spot on Why can’t we sign players who are never going to get injured ? We are clearly not doing the medicals correctly or enough due diligence.

He’s continued his rather odd memory of people’s reactions to signings. People were asking why we signed Ashley Barnes? My memory is we were desperate for another striker.

Brewster has got to be up there with one of the worst transfers in premier league history - especially if you take into account the relative wealth of the club who bought him.

Spain needed some tax revenue. They went after all the big earners, in football. Ronaldo and Messi, not least.

Apparently Insigne was on circa $320,000 USD/week at Toronto, second highest only to Messi.

Indeed, it's not easy/possible to put your finger in the air and guestimate profits.

Make of that what you will. Surely th...

Toronto have had some pretty decent players in last few years - mostly Italians.
