Threw the ball away when we got one back against Stoke and delayed our re-start. We equalized a little bit later having been 0-2 down. Stoke weren't happy but was a great point on the road. 1999, promotion season under Stan. We had a good team who weren't prepared to lay down and die. Payton scored...

Nicky Walker was one of those signings that totally took me by surprise. Before the days of the internet, usually we found out about signings via the Lancs Telegraph or Burnley Clubcall. But when he strode out at the home game against Blackpool, I'd no idea we'd signed a new goalkeeper or who he wa...

When did Wayne Russell sign? Always remember him looking dodgy until a 0-0 at home to Liverpool when he kept Robbie Fowler at bay.

I sort of understand his point that amateurs don't face the same pressure, but if they've qualified then they've qualified. The FA cup is a good analogy.

Fretters

Was a baffling appointment but he didn’t actually do that badly before this season - they finished second last year. Big money spent through and some of his decisions have been strange, particularly not playing Van de Beek. Ronaldo signing was just unnecessary and he wasn’t a player they needed - m...

This is all a bit flippant. Perhaps Eddie is quite unwell. I, personally, wish him a speedy recovery.

He's fine with no symptoms (I checked this before making my joke).

Fretters

Well, he did say he was looking for a positive result this weekend.

Is it Winstanley that didn’t actually like football but it just so happened he was good enough to make it pro

Payton said this at a recent sportsman's dinner I was at. Payts asked if he'd watched last night's game and MW said he doesn't like football.

Think number 14 is Kevin Henderson, striker signed from non league.

That's the one.

Whenever I think of that game, I think of Neil Moore, who scored our winner. He was a very poor player really: no wonder we struggled so much.

Him and Brian Read at the back. *Shudders*

Fretters

Who’s our Number 14 in the video? I can’t for the life of me place him. At first (because of the hair) I thought it might be Chris Brass, but then the face is totally unrecognisable to me. I know we had a load of young lads get chances that season like Eastwood, Carr-Lawton etc so it could be one o...

My favourite part of the whole Steve Kean episode was when we was filmed p*ssed in a bar on holiday and he guaranteed the fans he was chatting to a top 10 finish and the league cup

It was in the same conversation that he called Allardyce a crook and was sued by him afterwards.

I've gone with Google and their Nest Audio is excellent for £90. You can switch off the microphone and use it as a Bluetooth speaker if you want, but lazily being able to ask it to play one of my playlists has changed my life!

Southgate always said he would pick players on form and not on reputation. Can't knock his results but I'm not particularly keen on liars in general He seems to pick them on their form for England. Just look at Pickford who fully justified that approach in the summer. Mings has never let England do...

Must be about time for Eddie’s last minute change of heart about taking it.

It was his coaching staff who rejected Celtic, I think.

Fretters

I'm not so sure it's great news for us. We had a good 'new manager bounce' when he joined us and we were talking about automatic promotion at one point (for about a week). If the same happens at Newcastle, then he gets the big signings, they'll stay up easily.

I like the articles and I like watching the games. They're two completely separate things, please keep on with them CT.

Not so sure about that, Warnock has a pretty woeful record in the Premier League. For all the talk of eight promotions he also has a string of relegations (five I can think of off the top of my head) and lost his job a few times at clubs near the bottom. He may be a character but he’s no more than ...

In his autobiography he says he was interviewed for the Burnley job once. Doesn't say when but when Laws was sacked seems most likely

You could be right but we'd have been idiots to pick Laws over Warnock. I have a feeling he was in the run in when we appointed Stan.

So sorry for your loss, Belgianclaret. RIP Helmshore.

That season and the first few months of the next season were such an unusual period for the Beast. He was a bit of liability prior to and after that.

Can't argue with his brilliance for that time, though, and he's a clarets hero for it.

I'm still irked by the away goals rule in 2009. Why were Spurs given an extra 30 minutes to score an away goal? We should have gone through after 90 minutes.

I'd never heard of this charity but well done to all involved.

It's been asked above but I can't see an answer, does anyone know what his injury is?

He didn't wear a seatbelt either. A senior player, especially as captain, should really be setting the example.

The fact Derby sacked him but only fined the the two drivers, who just happened to be younger and worth more, absolutely stank.

On Saturday, Matt Taylor's Wallsall face Matt Taylor's Exeter. It's the first time in 43 years that two opposing manager have had the same name (Bobby Campbell v Bobby Campbell).

Totally amateurish and I hope Pace etc. are looking at this.

Another good start to the season with Brereton (Diaz) stepping into Armstrong's boots with his 9th goal in 10 games tonight (still lost, though).

Brady suffered a cruciate ligament as you say ironically at Leicester and never recovered. Cornet has tweaked a hamstring so think he’ll be ok. Doesn’t look like he’s missed too many games in his career to date. With you. When I started this thread I had no idea if it was a tweak or a tear (which c...

That’s the second comment I’ve heard suggesting he could be another injury prone player after one small injury, it wouldn’t ever cross my mind at this point Think I'm just too terrified of another Brady situation.

He walked off so hopefully just a strain. His career stats suggest he’s not going to be another Brady.

How do you mean? Brady had a good, injury free career and was becoming a very good player for us before, ironically, getting injured at Leicester.

Fretters

I've missed any post game comments from Dyche. Desperately hope he's OK and it isn't another Brady or Defour situation as we can't afford another one.

Fretters

Looks like he's done OK since going there. Warbuton will be a good manager for him, he's an excellent striker at that level.

I used to work with Preston fans who I'd known from their 'superior' days. When they were in league one, they were sick at the thought of borrowing players from us (think it was Clarke Carlisle who was linked at the time). I think Blackburn fans would react even worse, so I'd be all for it.
