Funny just a few weeks ago people were saying they should be in the England squad, I even heard a commentator say Mee should get a call up.
It's the end of the world when we lose a few games, and we are world beaters with future England manager when we win some.

I remember the one Longside4ever said.
Over there over there.....

He was on the news over here in Vancouver. Good man! Put Burnley on the map for the right reasons. I wish him all the best.

I want him to do well and sign for us. He has same name as my mum's maiden name Drinkwater who was from Denton near Manchester. We could be related

Come on Danny!

In the late 70’s I had season tickets. My step brother stopped going to matches for a couple of seasons, so I used to catch the train into Manchester walk to bus station to get the Burnley bus. ( It was always a little scary because either Utd or city were playing at home) Then I’d stand in the Long...

Ashton-under-lyne Lancs. 1962

good game so far, being played at a fast pace none of this passing back and forth across back four. Netherlands for me but USA seem too strong though

I worked on Mission Impossible Ghost patrol, I'm 5'9" TC looked to be same height as me, also he didn't have the huge ego that a lot of actors have, he does majority of his own stunts too. It was a fun film to work on.

Funny but one of my best memories was when he hit the cross bar from a shot just past the half way line and the bar was still rattling what seemed liked minutes later when the half time whistle blew. Loved Steve Kindon. like another poster said you always expected something to happen when he went on...

Having a major heart attack when thinking I was in good shape. (56 yr old)

I found it hard to decide between Bournemouth and Chelsea. I went for Chelsea just for the quality we were up against.

No ney never you've hit the nail on the head.
Everyone's anxieties or depression are different.
Telling someone and talking about it helps.

I'd like one of those flags. I'd fasten it to the back of my motorcycle.

Best wishes for your recovery, vancouver. Thanks PW. I'm slowly getting my energy back, going on short walks now. I've always been in good shape, playing football competitively up until a few years ago when I tore my ACL. So it was a shock when it happened, My brother wasn't as lucky 6 years ago he...

My Dr prescribed statins for me July last year
Another Dr said I didn't need them needless to say I didn't take them. 3 weeks ago I had a heart attack and I'm lucky to be here now.
I take them now.

Thanks. I could've also rode across the country on my Harley to get them. Have fun in Quebec I've only been to Montreal once for 3 days nice city.

I suppose tickets for Liverpool are already gone?
I was thinking about hopping on a plane to see the game then visit with my Dad.

I've seen them 3 times, twice in England once here in Vancouver. I play in a band and we play a bunch of Stones tunes, have a lot of fun playing them. We are all getting on the old side and it makes me appreciate how much energy the Stones still have, to pull off concerts like that. It's only Rock n...

Vancouver got turfed from the bid because they wouldn't agree to an open ended contract, that FIFA could change any time. The womens world cup was a sucsess here with sell outs at most of the games.

No brainer. Burnley. I still support England and cheer for them, but I don't feel bad when they lose like I do when Burnley lose.

I’m a bit of an airplane buff myself, not on your levels though. We have a Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum not far from me in Hamilton, Ontario. Many planes are complete, some under restoration.

Spitfire and Lancaster my two favourite planes.
They both flew over Manchester when I worked there in the early 80's before the Woodford air show.
I used to live and hike to the moors near Glossop Derbyshire where the are 17 crashed war planes so cool to see.

I remember first time I wore the yellow kit at school PE teacher kept blocking his eyes from the glare. It was the first yellow kit to be seen at school then a Leeds fan showed up in his.

I did own the V Burnley shirt, wore it proudly at school in PE.

What about Andy Carroll? Knows where the net is can score with his head he usually gives defences a hard time

Weren't we relegated when we had the V shirt. I've never liked it for that reason.

I have to thank my Dad for driving us to every home game and half of the away games that season, and the folowing one, he and my step mother would go shopping while my 2 brothers and I went to the games. Preston was a highlight for sure, fantastic atmosphere.

Thanks for the info. we will take a trip out there in the future. This summer we are going to visit friends in France. 1,500 to 35,000 now that is progress! Must be unrecognizable from before. There could've of been 6 divisions in Metro league I can't remember we were in Div 1 at the time. On a diff...

Where in Ontario are you? I've only spent time in the airport, we did go to Montreal for 4 days a few years ago. I'd like to see the cottage country outside Toronto. I played at Sapperton.

I played left midfield, although right footed, I could cross and shoot with both. I have to admit I was really fit and would go box to box, so yes I put in a shift with overtime

Anmore is close to Port Moody. That sucks you couldn't get work here. I love Vancouver for the mountains and ocean for boating. I played footy for a Scottish team when I arrived here they were in Van. Metro league. They ended up folding too. I own a small gas station on Bowen and fuel delivery busin...

I know I will get a lot of flak for this but I've always liked Giroud, he knows where the net is, I wouldn't mind seeing him play up front for Burnley.

We lived in Anmore for 8 years which is up above Port Moody, when we had our first kid we decided to find a community with more kids and decent schools, my friend lived on Bowen long story short we made the move 20 years ago. You played rugby in 86 thats when I emigrated to vancouver. Why did you mo...

Chelsea were the better team. Lennon didn't have a good game. I would like to have seen Wood and Vokes up front with Barnes dropping in behind them and taken Lennon off. Difference in watching this season and previous Prem seasons I feel like we have a chance against any team.

Hi Ontario. We can chat on a different post if that's ok.
I look forward to it.
With respect to CC. May he RIP

Vancouver, where, exactly, do you live? I lived in New Westminster for a few months in 1986. I played for a rugby club that no longer exists (Pocomo). There are lots and lots of Ontario transplants out there. One was almost my brother-in-law. I live on Bowen Island which is a 20 min ferry ride from...

Sad news. Living so close I wish we could have met and watched a game on TV together, would've been fun to cheer on the team with a fellow claret in Vancouver. RIP.
