Hello, Apologies this is completely off topic but I can’t face any football chat just now. I have 3 children a lad aged 11 and two girls aged 13 and 15. We have never had any form of games console in the house but I feel that we should probably give one a whirl. None of them have been particularly b...

Propbably mentioned somewhere else......

I was also wondering about Keane but also Wood. I think he would score loads with the current supply? Just a thought. WOuld he come back in Jan and would we want him?

This thread reminds me a little bit of the discussions we are having in our household. My 10 year old is not yet able to see beyond "why do they get to live in big houses and I don't". My 12 year old understands and appreciates the "good works" charity work, promoting causes and raising awareness su...

Hurt by Johnny Cash
Knew he was dying and is reflected in this song and video.

Thank you for reminding me. I had not seen the video for too long. If you have not seen it recently well worth a watch. Or course Cash did not write the song but in a way that makes it even more powerful.

I would expect Collins to be away if a decent off came in. He is young and has made a great start to his premiership career. He will not want to drop a level at this stage if an opportunity came along at another club.

I think overall he is the best I have seen. Although it was close run thing with Tom Heaton, Alan Stevenson and Mark Kendall.

Did the Real Madrid fans suffer similar problems?

I would keep Cork, Pieters, Mee and possibly Barnes. He could still boss Championship level defenders so unless we can sign someone better he could do a job.

Vydra, Stephens Bardsley can all go.

Decathlon boards are good quality for the price. Beware there are some cheaper ones out there that are rubbish. If like me you are a "big lad" you need to go for a big board especially if you are a beginner. Decathlon do an 11 ft board which is pretty stable. Also don't skimp on the pump. Good luck....

I don't fancy Chris Wilder so of the current hot tips it looks like Rafa or Rooney? Interesting choice. Would they come to Burnley? Of the 2 I would pick Rafa but Rooney could be intriguing. Which would you pick?

BFS would do me until the end of the season.

Sean has done a great job over the years. Thank you. You will always be a legend at BFC. However the performances have been on the slide for the last 3 years and a change was coming. Timing maybe odd but we still have 8 games and a slim chance of staying up. To be honest I am glad he has gone now ra...

It is not a must win in terms of points. But it is a must win in terms of momentum and confidence. Losing would undo a lot of the good work achieved last night.

Salisbury, I agree. However the Cork Brownhill combination did seem to be working and I would have let it go on a little longer. Against city I would play all 3 in CM with Cornet on the left, Lennon on the right and Wort alone up front.

Salisbury the problem is that we are not looking at the last 2 and half years but at this year where we are in a spot of bother. Also we cannot look at the central midfield in isolation it is the whole balance of the field. What would be interesting to see is how the combinations performed, ie what ...

Agent wood. Deployed to relegation rivals. Boosted our escape budget by £25m will ensure no effective front man for Newcastle for the rest of season before returning to Burnley as target man back up in the summer for £250k.

I love the irrational views. Burnley who have a pretty good track record with goalies thought he was worth buying as prospect for the future. At the end of last season he played a couple of games where he was less than stellar but so were many players. On the basis of this some armchair experts thin...

Stephen Anderson at DRN is excellent. I actually don't think he is expensive, I have paid more for far worse service. He may have moved up and no longer actually do the work but always found DRN to be top drawer

If we do land Barkley should we be shipping anyone out to help balance the books? Vyds? Jay Rod

As the old saying goes.

"if you win the toss, you can think about bowling but then think again and bat!"

Personally I think Test cricket will grow in popularity as people seek more authentic entertainment and sport. it is like many things, popularity goes in waves. When CDs hit the market and again with mass streaming who would have thought that shops selling vinyl would be opening on the high street o...

Better beer at Lowerhouse too!

I went along last night. As a night out for the kids at the end of term it was fine. As a game of cricket it was utter drivel! Give me an afternoon at Lowerhouse anytime!

I remember all this so clearly I can't believe it is 20, no sorry 30 years ago. Bloody hell. Steve Davis Mk I and Steve Davis Mk II what a summer. I always think Steve Davis MkII is a great tragedy, he should have gone down as a Burnley legend, instead he followed Judas, must have been out of morbid...

Overall yes, but on that last day there would be disappointment. I think that is the point. We were all bitterly disappointed on the day and many feel we could and should have done better. However in the cold light of day looking back there is no doubt that the tournament as a whole was a success a...

If Burnley came second in the Premier League would you consider that a success or a failure?

Today I have a sick feeling and it is nothing to do with the result. I am proud of the team and their performance throughout this competition. As individuals and as a group they have done us all proud. However the "fans" or at least a vocal minority have once again brought shame upon us. Running amo...

Vydra misses a sitter. Wood would have buried it!

I am sorry Miele-Man but Miele are certainly no longer the best, expensive maybe but good I am afraid not. My wife had always aspired to Miele appliances so when we bought our new home we went Miele. Really disappointed. In particular the washing machine which to be honest does not actually get thin...

About 10 years ago I spent several months weekly commuting to Rotterdam. During the week I stayed at the Novotel in the centre of town with the rest of the team from all over Europe. I got them all into Bene and hot and it became out team drink at the end of the evening. The project ended and we all...

I part Bene to 2 parts hot water will do. Some like it a little stronger some prefer a longer drink.

It protects from Covid or that is wat I am telling myself!!

Looking after the vulnerable in our society is a must and children should not be going hungry. However there has to be some accountability too. In many cases families find themselves in poverty for reasons beyond their control and as a society we need to be there to support them. However in other ca...
