I still go into games half expecting to get beat, which is ridiculous given how infrequently that's happened in the Championship over recent years. Just a reflex from a 1980s upbringing I don't think I'll ever shake.

Spurs will be better off once Kane has gone. He's part of the issue, the teams focus is him and they won't develop with him there now, they've peaked The last thing Spurs need is their only world class player who scores loads of goals and creates a stack too? Just checking I'm hearing you right. Th...

Whilst not perfect, I think the German three tier school system makes WAYYYY more sense than what we have right now and is something we should look towards implementing/ Agree. More importantly, German society respects trade skill, apprenticeships and engineers far more than we do, which is why the...

I should say, I've reviewed some genuine automation coding for rail services and it's cringeworthy simple compared to real automation challenge. 50k average is bonkers. Without unions they'd already be gone, which is a success story I support for workers, but striking for a double digit payrise is a...

Do you actually have any idea what being/becoming a train driver entails?
If it's that easy I'd invite you to apply!

I'd genuinely consider it at that money to effort ratio, but couldn't cope with the boredom and I've got skills I've worked hard and long for that are worth a lot more.

Stanbill05

I know so quite wealthy train drivers with good working hours. Aside from this if I don’t like my employment terms I need to find another job where I do. No support from me. Yep 50k average is very fair for relatively low skill/stress work, difficult to support thr dusruption. Teachers and some NHS...

F@ck the Burnley Express, grasses

Lol. The Burnley Express should follow some criminal code? OK. I suppose their website is that bad it should be illegal, or it was when I gave up on it years ago. I come on this site for my Burnley local news these days. I suspect I've not missed much.

Stanbill05

Enjoyed that. You can almost taste the tears.

Stanbill05

Absolute disgrace they robbed normal fans the opportunity to be there. Spiteful, childish nonsense. Desperate to see them fail and their finances implode. It will be 3 decent teams relegated this year, so I'm hopeful they will fall well short again next year.

Sat in Utd home end a couple of times. We didn't score in either game, so that wasn't a problem. Made me laugh when Utd scored though, must have been 50 people I could see slumped in their seats unmoved. Full of tourists anyway, so no one cared it was clearly full of clarets. Suspect Ewood will be d...

I work close by and was interested. And then I saw the price. Lol. Muric day out territory at £799 plus VAT.

My preference has always been for mini/short skirts being out of fashion, as those girls with really great legs wear them anyway; whereas whenever mini skirts are 'in fashion' you see an awful lot of girls who really shouldn't wearing them too. I opened the thread expecting a photo of the latter. I...

I think promotion had been clinched the week before when we won 5-0 at West Ham

Just spilt my brew laughing. Love the attention to detail.

Stanbill05

Very happy if that's true. Bargain. A pre-season at Burnley will help and he might develop into a real force. If not, his record at Champ level means we'll get some return either way. I'm another one who thinks game time for fringe none loan players is more important than anything now the title is i...

Gambling companies wouldn't invest in sponsorship if it didn't work but I suspect problem gamblers will find a way anyway. If it keeps 1 problem gambler out of trouble it will be worth the hit to club coffers I suppose. I'm sceptical personally, but accept the moral argument, just not sure it goes f...

Stanbill05

That's me convinced. Preston and Rovers must be good teams afterall. It could be that we made them look like 2 of the worst sides to come to the Turf because we are so good, but they also lose a lot of other games too. Might be the same as any other year, my barometer might be off looking at those t...

Stanbill05

It's difficult to make too strong a case for the strength of the Championship when Preston and Rovers are in playoff contention. That doesn't mean we haven't been superb. You can only play what's in front of you and we've smashed it in style.

Stanbill05

Anyone who considers their opinion fact is a fool. Maatsen has been generally good but very average on occasion recently. Muric has been like an extra outfield player and has been a critical cog for it, but has looked very dodgy at times and will definitely be tested next year if he plays (with and ...

Wrexham 3-2 Notts County.... this is where I'm focused beyond ourselves.... a real six-pointer and ridiculous they're booth on 100 points prior to kick-off, 25 clear of third.... and only one of them goes up

What a game

Stanbill05

it's an intangible thing, I just can't describe it, but this season and last night gave me the same feeling as I had at York for the first time since that night. All the other promotions have been great (and fully celebrated!!) but this just seems that bit special to me anyone else ? I agree, altho...

I hope they defer fast to another time and make a donation instead, especially for a night match. A very personal decision I appreciate and many wont like "cheating" but it is very much allowed in Ramadam. Can't see how they won't be shadows of players otherwise.

My holiday to Rwanda and Uganda was spectacular. Nothing wrong with the place with UK funding maintaining standards. Arguably more realistic than taking over more shabby hotels and defunct military camps. How else do you plan for unknown thousands of arrivals on asmall island not blessed with spare ...

Scotland were outstanding. The sort of intensity I wish England mustered against the better teams. Spain couldn't cope with it. Crowd were immense too as a result.

You mean do we think your 10 year old nephew who has been supporting them for all of 5 years should miss out on a ticket compared to someone who has been following them for 60 years and also been on all the home and away games in the last 5 years ?

I'm the opposite of CT and don't have a photographic memory but can picture every one of their goals. A very special season.

24 degrees, with sunshine and blue skies here on the Costa del Sol. I saw plenty of people down on the beach a short while ago. I don’t think I’ll have many problems getting to the Underground Bar on Saturday to watch the Clarets, I just hope the Mahou is well chilled. Sounds good, but it's a close...

Apparently cost 1 million to convert Al, the lighting and do everything needed to provide the light show.

Is the money well spent?

100%. The Turf has never looked better. Much better than the years of neglect and managed decline thanks.

I don't know what constitutes a foul anymore, if Dier can pin is man down with both hands like that and no-one bats an eyelid.

Stanbill05

It would be much better if they didn't stick a great sign in the middle of the road you can't see until you trip over and actually shut the road leading to Park View Chippy so there is less of a bottleneck and you don't have to squeeze past the cars. Pretty minor inconvenience I'll admit but avoidab...

Lord of the rings. Was great to watch for first two hours but as the movie progressed and it got to thick end of 3 hours I thought how the hell are they going to end this. When it finished I left muttering that it was three hours of my life I wouldn’t get back. My son then told me it was a trilogy!...

Lets hope they set up a decent and workable ticket exchange then, lots will have bought season tickets with no intention of going every game. Need to recycle the empty seats in the best way possible.

Bigotry and the lynch mob mentality eh?

He's being played to do the hard yards Ronaldo wouldn't do, and the rest of his forward line don't do much of either. Anything else is a bonus. He'll keep getting games, but it's awkward viewing at times. Looks 2 yards too slow most of the time to look an attacking threat.

Players will only showboat if they are supremely confident and are enjoying it. As long as they are not taunting anyone (too much), they've earned the right to do what they want.

Delap is a thug. He tried it on when he played for Stoke, and got booked, and got booked again for the tackle from behind on Beyer. Absolute thuggery/ frustration, it was moments after Tella got his hat trick. No wonder VK didn’t go anywhere near him in the summer, oh and by the way- he’s sh**e. Ap...

Yep, given up bothering trying after a few fails. Streaming live (via firestick) when there is high demand is still rubbish as well, which is a problem when you don't have an aerial/sat dish during football tournaments for example.
