This really does make depressing reading.
Didn’t Labour have some kind of intention to reform the NHS?
I’m not going to hold my breath this will happen when you consider what’s happening at the moment.

The work that’s been done is wonderful. Although I haven’t lived in Burnley for 48 years, I always enjoy going up Towneley whenever I come back. It holds so many happy memories for me. It was my dad’s favourite place and I remember taking him there about ten days before he died. Although he was fail...

The fastest wingers in the league will have him on toast but because he's such a a big name I think a false level of expectation will be unhelpful. He'll be ok I think but I wouldn't expect too much. It's not going to surprise me that some goals will be conceded without having pace to cover or inte...

A signing that shows we have learned our lessons from the debacle of the VK Premier League season.
Well done AP and the board and thanks SP for making it happen.
What an exciting time to be a Claret.

I confess to being a little underwhelmed but was fully willing to give him every chance. I spoke up for him on numerous occasions during the season when the results weren’t quite there realising he was building a team from very difficult beginnings. He always spoke realistically and was always hones...

Don’t know anything about this lad. Can anyone enlighten me?
Also can’t get that video link to work.

He was a nine-year-old and had been murdered on the Thursday, two days before Live Aid. The police had no real leads and I was interviewed (grilled) by them simply because of the car I had at the time. It wasn’t a pleasant experience either. DNA found the murderer in 2009 although he had died in 19...

My grandad was buried alive by an exploding shell in one of the big First World War battles. About 20 years ago after inheriting his three medals, I took them to a shop in Accy to have new ribbons put on them. The proprietor was immediately interested and said did I know grandad had served in both t...

I remember it well but sadly for the wrong reasons. At the time, I was a young cop working an early shift and looking forward to finishing at 3pm to go home and watch all the action on television. Shortly before I was due to finish, we were told we were all being kept on duty as a young Indian lad h...

Don’t care what all the doomsayers are saying, this has put a big smile on my face!

Went to Cavtat in Croatia a few years ago and the first person I saw on getting off the boat was a bloke wearing a Burnley shirt waiting to get on.

HurstGrangeClaret

Think this is a decent signing.
I also thought the interviewer didn’t distinguish herself and came across as amateurish.
Seems a decent enough lass. Shame the club can’t give her a bit of training, especially as she’s not new to the job, and we are back in the big time.

Well done to the Nobbers. Good to see a local company sponsoring their local club, although I do accept the point regarding how lucrative the deal can be.

there was an article in the Athletic yesterday where it was said a £20m signing could only be expected to start in a Premier League teams 18th (or below) in the table i posted it in the MMT If that’s true, that is some stat. Just shows how much we are up against it, although that doesn’t mean we ca...

This really does restore your faith in humanity.
A massage thumbs up to Sunlan.

With our two new signings and our four signed at the end of the season, the squad is already starting to look far more balanced than the squad VK had for our PL season.
Looks like SP knows what he’s doing and nice to see AP and the board backing him.

HurstGrangeClaret

Great pics DG.
Some welcome positivity on the board.
Having not lived in Burnley for nearly 50 years now, I love seeing these snapshots of the town.

HurstGrangeClaret

The negativity from some posters amazes me. Here we are, not a game of the new season played, and some fans writing us off already. It’s what we strived for all last season and this is the reaction of some. We all know it isn’t going to be easy but come on! Have some faith in SP and our team and let...

HurstGrangeClaret

He deserves to go for his mishandling of their promotion charge, but all this talk in the media that has been going on for 2 weeks now, just show that the owners are as incompetent as he is. Think that’s a bit harsh Colburn. They had a bad week when they lost three games and somehow managed to lose...

We see so much ugly uninspiring graffiti so to see something as likeable as this is just great.
A massive well done to the artist.

Think this is a massive over generalisation. Undoubtedly people spend a lot of time on their phones but to say this is the end of conversation- it isn’t. I’m in regular touch with some of my oldest friends often on WhatsApp but there’s nothing we like better than having regular trips around places o...

Interesting article in the Daily Mail about this being a tournament too far that is mostly unloved but more than that- simply not needed in this time of saturation coverage of football.
I’d post the link if I could but I’m rubbish at stuff like that!

HurstGrangeClaret

Just my best ever day as a Claret.
Even taking forever to get away from Wembley after the game didn’t detract from it.
Will certainly second the Carlsberg comment!

HurstGrangeClaret

Yep, something I’ve been meaning to do and on seeing the BK news, I’ve joined.
Very happy with this.

HurstGrangeClaret

I'm not discounting it. But if you are a "professional" at anything you have to be able to justify what you are professional at in terms of income created. This is the crux of it for me. Can the finance generated from ladies football justify the investment in it? Not misogynistic to say that. Why s...

HurstGrangeClaret

I hate music or other noise being imposed on me.
For me,it’s the equivalent to goal music or music played upto kick off, at half time and full time while watching footy.
Prime example of that was the music at Wembley yesterday during and after the play off final. So intrusive and unnecessary.

HurstGrangeClaret

Don’t know you JM but 70 is a big one so hope you celebrated it in style.

HurstGrangeClaret

He obviously has an excellent relationship with SP and is another example of what a good man manager our manager is.
Looking forward to seeing him perform next season.

HurstGrangeClaret

You’re right Boss but I find it infuriating when a fellow Claret behaves like this.
Like to think we’re better than that but some of us clearly aren’t.

HurstGrangeClaret

Well done Aberdeen.
The dice is so heavily loaded against all but the big two. Always good to see the underdog come through.

I understand why we have a sponsor connected to the gambling industry but I still hate it.
Gambling can be harmless fun but can also be evil.

HurstGrangeClaret

Thought Wilder was very composed during his press conference. I feel sorry for him and SU, especially the fans. They were clearly the third best team in the league. I know they only have themselves to blame for not making the game safe but you would have to have a heart of stone not to feel for them...

And our unbeaten record beaten again- now 32 games.
What a team!

I think Hutchy may be in league with DA regarding this!

HurstGrangeClaret

I can understand why you would confront her but you need to be careful. She could do anything to damage your car while you’re on the game and unless there’s any evidence, like CCTV, you wouldn’t be able to prove it was her.

I may of finally got a prediction right…

If we avoid defeat in our last two games, that could turn out to be one of the quotes of the season.

HurstGrangeClaret

Yes, I know all of that…. My point is that everyone is talking about how it was clearly the right decision but nobody actually knows how it might have worked out had we taken the cup more seriously. Parker didn’t have to make the wholesale changes he did. But, as I said, we’ll never know. Even had ...

Well done Steve on securing player of the season. Richly deserved.
Shows how good the team performance was with Josh Cullen coming in 4th place after an excellent game from him.

HurstGrangeClaret

The only time I’ve criticised SP this season was after this game.
I’m now convinced I was wrong and he was right.
We’ve been superb since then- just look at all the points we’ve made up on DL and, especially, SU.

He certainly was on this thread!

If you want to look at it another way , we picked up one point with two games with Sunderland .

What is it with some posters?
Here we are, promoted back to the Prem and still they find room to complain.

There was an even better thread mid February congratulating Leeds and Sheffield United on their promotion and one notorious poster getting his GCSE Maths muddled.

Fabulous report thanks Tony.
Think you summed it up for all us Clarets with your cloud nine comment.
