Seating plan doesn't load for me either, quite annoying really as I'd prefer to be situated further back and we've gone back to it just being pot luck.

Seating plan... Anyone would think that you are going to a wedding not a football match

Bloody hell Nick

England look a different team now

We can't be serious contenders for the WC going into the finals with Southgate as our manager he needs to be relieved of his duties as this is embarrassing

Just had an enjoyable hour watching Corrie and as soon as I turn over the Germans win a penalty.

From the atmosphere in the stadium looks like I haven't missed a lot

Went drinking in the town centre and no problems at ali locals seemed friendly enough, although we weren't wearing colours

Still having nightmares about our last midweek trip there with the M6 closures and pea soup fog on the way home. I was there that night and avoided the motorway until around Stafford and it didn't take much longer than usual. It was the sat navvers who got stuck in the traffic. Road sense, local kn...

Bit the bullet and ordered the car,picking it up from Blackburn when I'm down for the Stoke game. It will be our fourth car on a PCP, 7 years of new cars ..no problems still paying £130 a month just over 4 quid a day,would never entertain buying a car outright again,and you don't have to wrap them ...

Clubs who go away in big numbers like Boro, Sunderland and Sheffield United won't be any trouble as they sell to season ticket holders. It is the small local clubs like Blackburn, Blackpool and Wigan who have few season ticket holders and who have to sell to the general public to shift their allocat...

Look even as a EU member i had all my paperwork up to date in case they asked .

By the time they would ask you I was passed passport control so it was ramdon to sat the least .

Nowt to brag about being an EU member

Blues rarely bring many and Cardiff will be on the beach by then

Being a top international football manager is not about coaching, it's about man management, tactics, organisation and picking the right players to play his system

Dahmer made good entertainment last night

Put myself on serial killer alert from now on it sure beats strictly

Top Claret

Southgate doesn't have the personality or the charisma to get the extra mile out of a team and needs to go now, not after the WC.

He had is chance in the Euros, blew it and should have been sacked then but the chumps gave him a new contract because he ticks the woke boxes

Top Claret

Watch until Corrie kicked off, then a thowt **** up I'll pick it up later

I hate the word Bobbins its so bloody Manc. Obviously introduced from the foreigners who have moved North from Manchester because it's certainly not Lancashire

I rented a house in Edenfield for 6 months and used to go down Bury for a few on Friday afternoons, bumped into plenty of Bury clarets from the old days out on the lash

The whole club needed shaking up and thankfully this is happening. No doubt Mark is well respected, but the club is changing and moving on for the better on all fronts at the moment. With all due respect to you lot on here, I reckon Vincent has a well thought out strategy. New broom sweeps clean no...

Well that is you prerogative. If your references are the Commercial and the Hargreaves Arms public houses… I’ll stick to my historical academic references, and my in depth study of the Valley in the 1740’s for my degree dissertation, if you don’t mind. :roll: Thought as much you spend all your time...

Top Claret

Correct, I am currently in Accrington, having moved eight years ago from Lumb. However I visit regularly as my family still lives around Waterfoot. Not sure how that is in the slightest relevant to the discussion… which is a matter of historical record and may be referenced in the books I have reco...

'...and recently got compensation for a diesel litigation claim I made against them...'

how much compensation TC?

I'm considering same claim but not sure what amounts are involved/expected if successful

Ta!

VW litigation £2,600.00 took about 5 years

So because neither you or your wife has heard the term it was not used in the valley? I don”t like using the definite as a rule, but you are wrong.

I get the impression you now don't live in Rossendale anymore am I correct?

Top Claret

Also brought up in the Valley, all I can ask is how you have avoided the term, though age may be relevant as it was much more widely used 30-40 years ago. However it is still in fairly common usage Newchurch, Waterfoot, Stakstead’s and Bacup…. The main areas of wool production prior to the 1860’s i...

Born and bred in Rossendale and our dialect is different than the Burnley twang and I can honestly say I have never heard anyone say I am agate My Gran was from Nelson and worked in the weaving sheds and she never used it either, so I think it's just a Burnley twang which is an accent different to m...

I always pay cash for something 12months old and keep a minimum of 5 years.

Last car was an Audi A4 which I kept for 10 years, I got shut 4 years ago and recently got compensation for a diesel litigation claim I made against them.

Top Claret

I'd be questioning on what legal grounds they can obligate you to your late Dad's finance commitment. Surely it's got nothing to do with you unless, as the other poster soeculated, you were down as a guarantor. I'd have told them to go forth and multiply. I see were you are coming from as I got a l...

Top Claret

Massive clear out no more so than the commercial side, although the catering lads seem to have in the main kept their jobs.

Strange the commercial lads got the boot though, I wonder why?

Top Claret

Presumably then Top Claret you must have been guarantor? therefore allowing your Dad to do it. No I wasn't a guarantor and what would be the reason for one? I wasn't happy with the garage in Blackburn who sold him the deal and I told them so later as it isn't ethical to sell an 88 year old a PCP no...

Top Claret

Hi Steve, I’ve heard if this and believe it’s as already suggested it helps them sell a car (unit) for their monthly target, plus it keeps you on their books for a longer period. I’d check there’s no added payment at the end of the term (small print) but if it’s a reputable company I’m sure it’s fi...

He should have done better with the Bristol goal, he just stuck to his line

On the positive side his distribution is excellent and fits into our system. If he could only improve his game inside the 6 yard box he would be a good un, until then he is Mr average

Top Claret

All this talk about Leicester and Forest changing their manager can't believe Moyes and West Ham don't get a shout. If West Ham don't pick up Moyes will be through the door and this would be a great opportunity for Dyche if he gets the call

I was planning to work but a change of schedule allowed for a lovely walk this morning. Saw some deer, a squirrel and a stoat. A bit damp out but better than working. Not sure if I'll watch later on iPlayer, there's another Gone Fishing I need to see first. I wish you would **** off you ignorant di...

No way they will be relegated this season

Agree

I think Everton are finally getting their act together and are building some stability with the signings of Tarkowski and Coady and retaining the services of Gordon who is a Scouser.

Mid table finish for Everton

Top Claret

Everton deserved winners. West Ham were poor and are really struggling with the Thursday/ Sunday fixtures. What as happened to Rice he looks a shadow of the player he was, lets hope he finds his form for the WC With Bournemouth picking up points again there could be some relegation shocks this season

Top Claret

Pleased so far with our overall performance although the standard of opposition leaves a lot to be desired. What as disappointed me is our defending and until we brush up on this a top 2 finish is unlikely, although we look good for a play off spot. I think the WC break will stand us in good stead a...

Should have signed Tarkowski!

Tarkowski didn't want to go

Top Claret

Beyer first full game and a new pairing, I would like to think they will improve with time and understanding.

I would much prefer the new pairing with Taylor at LB instead of Mattasan who is a poor defender

Top Claret

He took them apart in one move, If Brownhill had have been tuned in we would have had an assist

Top Claret

51 is to young to retire. Dyche will thrive on the pressure and miss the buzz of management, he will find being unemployed at home with the wife boring.

Bruce is a perfect example after all the hassle at Newcastle he couldn't wait to get back on the management ladder at Albion

Top Claret

Villa are poor but Southampton are dreadful.
I think saints could make it a South coast double this season for relegation with their neighbours Bournemouth, although Villa won't be far away

As for SD he must wonder how the likes of Gerrard and Lampard get better jobs.

Same could be said for Kompany but like others say the name attracts the players

Top Claret

There was loads of trouble in those days, with the police forming a human fence to keep the fans apart in the
longside. Leeds and Man United would bring a following of up to 20,000 so you can well imagine the atmosphere was extremely volatile
