Surely you realise how blinkered that comment is? According to the public and, more importantly, the other acts they were clearly the outstanding performers on the day. If your not a Queen fan that is your right but don’t deny them their day. I’m not denying them anything .. I don’t think they or t...

Do you know when QUEEN stole the show at Live Aid and were streets ahead of any other act…Elton did that tonight by knocking spots off each and every act that went before him this Glastonbury Festival weekend. He was absolutely incredible. I love this sort of comment - Queen stole the show ? Only i...

So have we got any friendlies yet?

Yes. I’m sure they’ll announce them when they are ready.Same with the kit.

And tell him he is my favourite ever Burnley manager I rarely talk football with football people … I find many of them like to talk about my subject when I tell them what I do. Suits me - I watch football as a fan . I don’t pretend to be a tactical expert , and on that basis I wouldn’t want to be t...

My third G&T has prompted me to ask you ' Are you Stan Ternent and did you sign a 30 year non disclosure agreement in your compensation package?

I’ll mention that question next time I see him

Indeed I am not he but I have known him on a personal level for
some considerable time .

Brownhill has been linked with West Ham previously and quite prominently when we went down. Brentford also.

Think other teams like Bournemouth and Leeds have also been mentioned in January. No links so far this year as far as I am aware

Fair enough ..

You are a tease but it must be for a good reason. Did you go on the games I mentioned ?

Yes there is a very good reason why I can’t comment on a
lot of the stuff on here and yes I haven’t missed a home game excluding Covid since errr well mmm … in truth I honestly can’t remember when …

It wasn't directed at you , sorry you interpreted it that way which I understand because you asked the question. So many snipers around I have to have all rooftops covered .

thehistorylecturer61

This may read like it's ' Off the Wall' , however..... In our last PL season despite the absolutely awful way we played, Brownhill had a 'golden' spell at home against Liverpool and another top team I can't remember. He simply bossed the midfield in both second halves. Scouts don't forget players l...

No seriously I think he has suitors

thehistorylecturer61

You never know in football , I don't think we need them but then I don't know anything about how the money people at the club think. I think it would send out a certain message and if it happened that way it would be another bit of the development of the club that would take time to get used to. In...

I was at both those friendlies - 1989 I think - we lost 1-3 at Gloucester & 0-3 at Worcester. Friendlies notwithstanding, the abuse was justified!

Yes 1989

The other one near Faro is good too .. been there to see
Greece play Russia in Euro 2004

Was a massive guess that but also a shame as it would’ve been a decent few days

They’re training in Lisbon on the second Portugal trip - yeh it would have been good - I wouldn’t have bothered with it but I’ve been to the stadium in Albufeira a couple of times it’s decent

thehistorylecturer61

If they think there's an advantage to playing friendlies without fans I think that's fine (a little bit of a shame, but worth it), but it does absolutely no harm to communicate. True enough .. but as far as I know nothing is set in stone as yet. Venues and whether or not fans are going to be allowe...

thehistorylecturer61

What is the issue with the club on all this? If they don't want any supporters there announce behind closed doors. Communication let us down on all this. Truely farcical. Not even the people usually in the know like CT have a clue. If they don’t want supporters there .. then why announce it until i...

Fulham played in it last year against Benfica and Nice.

How is Dave Burnley supposed to plan?

Playing at it … he wasn’t at Huddersfield for last November’s World Cup break friendly

thehistorylecturer61

If correct the middle one is a change of club and venue - which is entirely possible - and the last one a change of venue which again is entirely possible and given our previous experience with a team from that nation might be understandable

Details coming soon, pre-season will be amazing with the teams about to be announced .

Are you sure on the middle flag ? It was due to be of the green and red persuasion up to recently

Never going to happen and neither should it unless we find an unhinged benefactor with no dependents requiring a return on the investment .

Would obafemi have another medical though with his loan being just made perm

Meant to say he’d have had a full medical when he first came in on loan they don’t want saddling with an injured loan player

Sport or game is an argument that runs and runs with some pastimes … I play old rules Subbuteo , using only genuine equipment made by Subbuteo, which I’m actually pretty good at and I’ve got a few trophies from events around the UK to back that statement up … others mainly modern rules players often...

Kevin Long never let us down during his time with us,maybe not the best centre back and certainly not the worst.

Apart from the game changing errors against Bournemouth and Brighton .. and that’s without really delving back into his earlier appearances
