I think it was 'Hetty Wainthropp Investigates' where she filmed in Burnley on Woodgrove Road just up from the high school. It was. They also filmed on Oxford Rd and Smalley ST.

Not really given a chance in the PL, then shipped out to Hull the following Jan, confidence ruined.

Didn't he play in the first game, got himself stupidly sent off and was subsequently banned for 3 games?

Website says general sale today. Go on to try and buy two tickets and comes up with this game isn’t available to me. Has it sold out? They should have been on general sale today. Just had a look and it seems the club have not updated the online ticket site. Still showing season ticket holders only.

Please feel free to correct me on the 1st 2 but I've no idea about number 3. Cheers 1. Low block - sitting deep 2. Transition - winning the ball back in defence and moving the ball forward 3.

Bubble tea is rank, but I don't drink tea.

The Dubai chocolate stuff is quite nice tho, like shredded wheat and unsalted pistachios mixed together

The majority of the fruit ones have no tea at all. It's practically a fruit juice with tapioca balls.

What a signing he would be, but it would mean dropping Captain Cullen!!

But what if we signed Mainoo and Cullen performed better in training .

A bit of an assumption there, no guarantee that Cullen would be dropped.

It might be that he wants to go and play regular football. I don't think SP would stand in his way, he deserves it. Such a likeable player.

Dyche very much had his favourites. Seemed to have a problem with Bamford just because he had a more privileged background than most footballers.

Spot on.
If anything, for me Dyche didn't come out of this situation looking good.
It was actually a form of bullying.

What’s the deal with Broja? Has he been injured? Or just not fit? You’d think if he was wanting a move he would be in peak condition ready to hit the ground running?

He's been training with the kids all summer at Chelsea. Not really had a proper pre season.

And higher up the thread he provided data, comparing Thomas with Tarks.
I’ve seen him have many excellent defensive performances for Coventry and with our current nightmare situation I’d be happy to have him in the squad and fighting for his place.

So , is Thomas undervalued at £8m ?

Claretfanatic1982

Did i say that? What i said is via the modern metric of moneyball Thomas has better figures. He was player of the year at Barrow at 18 years old in the 3rd division. Regular at a team that just missed out on promotion. I didn't know anything about Tarkowski and i will admit i haven't watched enough...

The blaming of Kompany for Zaroury's form (or lack of it) is hilariously agenda-driven. Was good for us for a grand total of four months and then pretty consistently awful afterwards.

Always amusing isn’t it. Some people have zero understanding of how good you have to be just to be a professional footballer, never mind playing in the top two divisions of this country.

Even at National League or semi pro level. It's full of players who have come through pro academies.

It’s a valid point but, looking back now, VK’s man management left a hell of a lot to be desired.

I’d back Parker to do better in that regard, but it will be interesting to see how he knits it all together.

In hindsight, I also think Kompany's 2 pre seasons didn't do us any help.

Just a small point, you may have missed a word. Jersey is not part of the UK and is not represented in the UK Parliament.

Jersey is not part of the UK. It's a crown dependency and self governing. The UK is just responsible for it's defence and international relations.
