Pope, Lowton, Taylor, Mee, Tarkowski, McNeil, Cork, Brownhill, Westwood, Rodriguez, Vydra

Crazy to think that team is only 3 years ago!

From the Guardian: There have been a few teams that have since come close to taking the title. Steve McClaren’s starting Middlesbrough XI on 7 May 2006 contained 11 players with an average age of 20 years and 181 days – the youngest starting line-up in Premier League history. Fifteen of the 16 playe...

Gordon Cowans won the European Cup with Villa too.

Peter Crouch played in the Champions League final, and scored twice as many England goals as Wright and Cole combined

If Stokes knee has a week to recover to bowl 10 overs per innings, I’d go with:

Duckett
Bairstow
Crawley
Root
Brook
Stokes
Foakes
Ali
Woakes
Wood
Anderson

Serious batting depth, Crawley made his double century from no. 3, Bairstow opens in ODIs which is similar enough to Bazball to give it a try

Dean bowditch and Josh mcquoid according to CT’s played for both page

Barton was investigated from the September, charged in December, banned in April. Part of the delay was because he requested more time to prepare his defence. Suspect Toney is doing exactly the same to string it out to the end of the season. Timeline within these articles: https://www.theguardian.co...

First goal v. Fulham - 11 September 1971
Last goal v. Hartlepool - 6 May 1989

17 years and 8 months!

How many appearances do you need to qualify for a medal? Is there anyone we need to bring on for a few minutes here and there in the remaining games so they can qualify?

Could Vieira be a good succession plan for Kompany? Comes from the same City/Pep background and a similar philosophy

Hopefully he can be like Ryan Giggs who made a similar move inside and improved his fitness as he got older. Just less like Ryan Giggs off the pitch!

What a crazy game - did the second goal actually go in or not? Inside the post and out through the side netting?

If this website is to be believed, not only is Barnes up to joint third in the list alongside Leighton James, but there’s a name at the top of the list that I’d never heard of. Andy McCluggage anyone?

Just out of interest, why does he miss the League Cup Final. I thought when Cork had his ban it was only for league games and not cup games because bans were competition specific. Anyone know the reason why this is different?

Which was the best of the one goal wonders? Micah Hyde vs the bastards?

Here it is...

Agreed on Tella - provided we keep Zaroury and Benson they will be first choice wingers (unless we buy someone better than them - and I don't think Tella is better than them). So effectively we'd be spending £10m on Tella for a backup winger (when we also have other backup wingers already, JBG, Twin...

Didn’t actually. Credit goes to HiThere on the match thread who first suggested it half way through the second half. I thought it was a good point worthy of further discussion.

Maybe this is a sign that Vinny reads the match day thread…

This came up on the match thread. Getting a replay on the Turf is a better result than if we’d nicked a last minute winner. New players need exposure to English football and VK’s methods - Ekdal, Al Dakhil, Foster, Obafemi Fringe players need a run of games to demonstrate their full ability - Bastie...

The proudest man in Proudsville with Burnley in the top 4. I started following Burnley when they were in the 4th division, not 4th place in the top division. This season under Kompany would not have been possible without Dyche. For giving the club a status and level of expectation. For pushing for t...

John Cofie?

BBC Sport: Fourth-round draw to take place between 16:00 and 16:30 on BBC One

Surely the biggest connection between Stoke and Burnley is Tony Scholes...

Though quite why CT needs to waste his time running a small town team in the Potteries is beyond me.

My dad always used to say “you can’t have your cake and your ha’penny”

Obviously eating your cake wasn’t an option - you either had the cake or kept the money for it. That’s a very Burnley sentiment I think

Thanks all, am fixed up with LAM. Appreciate the other offers - hopefully if anyone else needs a ticket they can see the options here.

Claret wizard, i havent heard anything from LAM. I’ll give him until the morning, but if you drop me your details on my email above ill take you up on your offer if he falls through.

Thanks to everyone for helping out a non tweeting claret!

LAM, that’s great, New St works for me. What time do you want to meet? If you email me at jobbers11 ‘at’ hotmail.com, we can swap phone numbers

Thanks Leisure, sorry to have just missed it. If anything else comes up, let me know.

When i say free, I meant spare. More than happy to pay the £15 for it!

Am looking for 1 x adult ticket. Can't get to the ticket office before Wednesday so would be looking to meet at the ground. If anyone has a free ticket, let me know
