Cajun

“A Confederacy of Dunces” by John Kennedy Toole, finally published in 1980 a few years after he died.

Cajun

Enjoyed watching the last hour of that first stage. Hard to see past Pogacar and Vingegaard dueling it out again. Really like the countryside rolling by and the small towns and villages along the way.

Cajun

I thought he was a safe but uninspiring appointment. But his handling of the early squad disruptions, and subsequent "it's a marathon not a sprint" gradual development of his team was hugely impressive. I liked the way he came across in the interviews and videos I saw, and clearly he won the confide...

Cajun

As I sit here mulling this over, I can only see it as a positive move. Some players who are good natural athletes, as Kyle appears to be, can continue easily into late 30s and compensate for a slight loss of pace with their experience, match awareness and anticipation. As mentioned a couple of times...

Cajun

I've watched full match and extended highlights in the past and every time I'm screaming for the final whistle just like at Wembley

Cajun

I went to that game, we had a good following. Haven’t seen the footage before. Some meaty challenges going in but that’s no surprise with Pearce and Keane playing. Don’t think the final score was a fair reflection of our performance.

Cajun

The day JFK was assassinated, unless that’s an urban myth I’ve fallen for. Almost - JFK killed Friday November 22nd, Dr Who first episode was the following day Saturday the 23rd. And for today's bit of trivia, on the day Dr Who first broadcast, Burnley beat Villa 2-0 at the Turf with a goal in each...

Cajun

Good, his performances moved up a gear in the second half of the season - with the arrival of Edwards - and he deserves to be a part of our PL team.

Cajun

I can remember watching the very first episode of Dr Who with my older brother - a quick search reveals it was November 1963 .... for some reason I prefered the giant ant Zarbi creatures to the Daleks

. It was good escapism and fun for a while.

Well done Orient

Does Dave also have a son?

No.

Cajun

Just been in touch with Ralphy and mentioned this thread. For sake of accuracy he asked me to clarify that his daughter, who has been living in Australia for a few years now, is named Clarette Annalisa. She’s always loved her name as I recall

Cajun

Happy to call Ralphy a friend since the mid-70s. Shared a few adventures on the road with him way back when

and even crop up in and took a photo in a story featured in his first book.

Cajun

For anyone who endured those gut-churning events 38 years ago, our achievements in recent times seem all the sweeter. If ever a crowd won a game for a team, that was it. Always had a little soft spot for Orient (and Lincoln) since.

Cajun

Yes excellent, stirs the emotions. This really is a team in every sense. Proud to be a Claret.

Cajun

A masterstroke to bring him back just before the Rovers game and he has clearly had a big influence in galvanizing the squad over the last four months. His contributions during his limited minutes on the pitch have been everything we would expect, and I thought he did very well on his only league st...

Cajun

Being a lifelong Claret has certainly allowed me to experience the complete polar opposites of football. I think fans of for instance Arsenal who have never been through a relegation are missing out in some way. I have experienced the extremes of 10 promotions and 10 relegations, I have seen us win ...

Cajun

Don't feel at all despondent. Going into the last game before the March international break well behind Leeds and Sheff U I think any Claret would have taken today's final league table. Tremendous sequence of results and proud of the records set - incredible to be the best goals conceded per game ra...

Cajun

Excellent last day performance and a good game - did everything we could and a season to be very proud of. UTC

Cajun

A worldwide audience willing on our Clarets today - good morning from across the Pond in Philly. Strong mug of coffee made, original 1965 scarf on - come on the lads, let's do this.

Cajun

It's weird the odd things you can remember. That game is 48 years ago, and sat here thinking I can recall just a few flashes of things in my memory. First trip to the old Den, and went by car with four friends; parked somewhere in outskirts of north London and then on by Tube; I had an old-style sil...

Cajun

Here in the US, appears that the game is down to be shown live on Paramount+. (Have been able to see virtually every game live on that channel this season, good deal for $30)

Cajun

From very good Paramount+ TV coverage. Can’t give anyone lower than a 9 after such a superb performance. Trafford 9 Largely untroubled, showed some nifty footwork from one awkward backpass, and one cracking low save to preserve the clean sheet. His mid-range passing out has become very good. Roberts...

Cajun

Superb movie producing an Oscar for Ingrid Bergman.

Cajun

I’m now all level again at 10 ups and 10 downs since my dad started taking me with him to the Turf in ‘65. The enthusiasm never gets old!

Cajun

I’d like to see Bristol City go up. I have no ill will towards Sheff Utd though. Such have been some recent results/form in the Championship I can't predict at all how the playoff are likely to go. As with Jedi, I have never had a problem with Sheff Utd either - in fact along with a small group of ...

Cajun

“The Clarets are going up” bellowed at full volume from over here in Philly, A roar heard around the world…..

Cajun

That's sad to hear. Blondie was one of my favorite bands in university days in the late 70s and has remained so. "Parallel Lines" one of my all-time favorite albums, and think I will give it a spin now.

Cajun

Has really turned his performances up a notch since Edwards has come in to play on the right. Showed the value of persistence for his second goal in continuing to follow up on what looked like a lost-cause ball over the top and then having the positional awareness to roll the ball toward the net see...

Cajun

Things recovering slowly… hurricane Helene hit the mountains of north Carolina pretty badly (which is unheard of)…. But things are slowly returning to normal but a long way to go for a lot of places around here. Glad to hear things getting better Asheville. Was down your way October of 2023 did som...

Cajun

As mentioned above, although not to the PL but to the top flight before rebranding, 72-73 will always be not just my favorite promotion, but also my favorite season - reasons being that football was the center of my world then and I saw so many games that season with my dad. Then from the other four...

Cajun

Fabulous photos. Have traced family back on my dad's side into the 1850s in Burnley, most of whom were listed as being weavers or loom maintenance, but no idea which mills. Fascinating stuff.

35,500 and only three sides of the ground open, the BL stand wasn't finished.

I was in the BL Stand with my dad for both the Villa and Wrexham ties - not sure why as we usually stood on the Longside but have a feeling a relative who worked for the newspaper got us comps

Cajun

Very happy to see that cracker with his right foot hit the net, hopefully do him the world of good.

Cajun

Well as I predicted earlier, it's partly time in the streets in the section of NW Philly where I live. Constant barrage of fireworks still going off, people dancing and singing in the street, and a totally dominant display from the Eagles to crush the Chiefs. I suspect a lot of people will not be tu...

Cajun

Have to put "Come on You Clarets" on hold for the evening as it's "Go Birds" all the way here - despite me having always been a New Orleans Saints fan. Expecting a loud and raucous night in the surrounding area if the Eagles win. Beers ready, snacks ready, and off to my son's house shortly to watch ...

Expect there will be a lively atmosphere in the streets around here if the Eagles win. Seems like everyone has been wearing Eagles gear for the last two weeks, and we even had an Eagles-themed birthday party for my grandson yesterday.

Cajun

Still got mine

Unfortunately no longer have the pitch, goalposts, ball, or an opposition team

First visit there was in 1980 after we’d dropped into the 3rd Division for first time, and I remember we had three Saturday away trips on the run to Newport, Swindon and Oxford that we won, not sure if in that order though. Did those 3 away days jammed into a pal’s Mini :) Stood on the open end in a...

Cajun

In the seething mass on the Longside and on the pitch after the final whistle for me

Pure raw emotion that day.

Cajun

Fireworks going off and people celebrating in the street here in Philly. If my team the Saints can't be in the big bowl in their home stadium, then I'm glad it's the Eagles. Hoping for a match up with the Bills. Now - if the Clarets can get three points tomorrow, that would make it a great few days ...

I'm expecting the best reveal video announcement yet

It is a good one just releleased!

Cajun

A happy and healthy 2025 to Clarets the world over from here in Philly. Cheers all.

Cajun

Boxing Day 1972 was a brilliant day out to Blackpool, Horrible match but a special day out. That is one of my all-time favourite Burnley games. Great win, sendings off, huge away following. Also Boxing Day 1978 is forever in my heart - saw my dad alive for the final time on Christmas Day evening, a...

Cajun

Knew nothing about him when we signed him. Have been very impressed with all aspects of his game and I think the whole team seems more balanced when he plays. I would be happy for us to put out the same starting XI every time as we have for the last two matches.

Cajun

That same starting line-up for the last two games has seemed to bring out the best in the lads. We looked balanced, dangerous, and solid. Players seem happy with it too. Superb away performance today.

Cajun

I watched the video earlier in the week of the lads training. It featured a lot of one-touch short passing and interchanges around the orange cones - and the second goal today was a perfect example of that training ground work transplanted onto the pitch to great effect, starting with the initial co...

Cajun

Not the "best" but a favourite. For the sheer fun of it, this has always brought a smile to my face. Saw Slade perform it live at a wild Christmas gig in Staffordshire in 1977, good times. "Merry Christmas Everybody"

Yes it was an atmospheric old ground. First trip there was second to last away game of 76-77 season, won 1-0 but can't remember scorer. Was sat well back behind a goal, and got into a row with Cardiff fans who were laughing at and abusing one of our players who needed lengthy treatment for an injury...

Cajun

1978...won 3-1...remember the whole of the second half singing 'Burn-leee, Burn-lee etc ' to the Amaxing Grace toon. I have memories of that game - hitch-hiked there from Staffordshire; started off on covered terrace but eventually ended up in paddock on opposite side of pitch; after game got lift ...
