Well at least it will put paid to the tired old “well they’ve never let me down” statements from the manager. To be fair to Page, he’s not the only manager to roll that statement out. 🤔🥴😳 They’ll turn up against England make no mistake. Every single one of em will turn up. Not sure Bale and Ramsay ...

I agree she is our problem and she should be returned. Unfortunately, the UK struggle to enforce similar rules that call for deportations of serious foreign criminals who then become a UK problem too, so there is little appetite to make it easy. It is going to take a Labour government to bring her b...

Was there an explanation why Dier wasn't allowed on to replace MAguire? Was he not ready or did the ref stop him entering the field like it looked? Shouldn't ref any more games this tournament if it was the latter..

Stanbill05

Bale to get injured and being too fired up, the first red card of the tournament in this game. USA to win..

Stanbill05

He needs to pick his next move very carefully (or stay put). He needs to be guaranteed to play every game wherever he goes and learn from the Sancho move..

England are better than both of these teams

Stanbill05

England played really well and actually moved the ball with a bit of pace and purpose, which is all you can ask. It doesn't matter that Iran were mostly garbage. Let's hope they learn from the success and keep playing at a decent tempo against the better teams.

I have similar list to Tsar Bomb with some Cornwall and Wiltshire on top and I'd move back to Burnley (area) tomorrow if the wife, kids and work would let me. Unfortunately, the town can be a shock if you're used to the Cotswolds. I love the terraced rows and wouldn't want to lose them, but they nee...

There is a very real risk Dwight will be broken by Everton and not recover. Always appeared a little bit fragile to me. Chasing the money is not always the best strategy in the long run. Hope he survives but could see him tumble through the leagues if his confidence is crushed.

Stanbill05

Enjoy those videos. You really get a sense these players are enjoying the ride. Long may it continue.

About 2 million a year. Granted many will have been the same people..

The migrant workforce has been exploited, but they still come in their millions. Why? Because it is still better for them than home. Much much better in the majority of cases. Lives are transformed and families saved from poverty. Wages are not an issue. There have been 6500 deaths in 10 years out o...

It would have taken 5 minutes to do a walk by high five for the kids in the queue. Maybe I'm oversimplifying, but nothing that couldn't have been overcome with a bit of effort to organise and imagination.

Stanbill05

Annoyingly I can't remember who the player was now, (could have been Lineker actually!) but recently listened to an interview where the player's dad had literally dragged him off the pitch for giving the ref backchat when he was a kid. My lad has already been warned to expect the same.. unfortunatel...

Having just done it myself, £1650 is a decent quote to have it done properly. None of it is hard, but worth that money for none of the stress. I'd check building regs requirement if you have intention of selling, for example, you will need pre-lining chimney sweep (which I'd recommend anyway) if you...

Torquay in the playoffs in 1991 was bad. It's the hope that makes it worse.

Radio 4 did an extended series recently which worked well on the radio. Kept me entertained over some very long dog walks. Available on BBC sounds for download.

In terms of heating I did an experiment last night using electrical heaters rather than central heating. Admittedly, I'm on a cheap fixed deal for my electricity, whilst my gas is on standard tariff, but the results were quite ridiculous. Basically to heat my living room with the gas fire for 2 hrs...

Unfortunately Pope is finished as a serious contender for England. Maguire will get another life I suspect, but he must be getting very difficult to pick even for Gareth. Whilst we're not spoiled for choice at centre back, there are plenty playing well regularly for their clubs. Probably too late to...

I think I was at every single one of those matches.

Blake’s free kick at Preston was absolutely perfect

All 3 of Blake's freekicks against Preston were perfect. I bet Preston couldn't believe it. What a player.

Stanbill05

Lol, you're desperate for an argument. All I've said is race and gender will have been a factor in moving Lawrenson on. "Addressing the historic unbalance" as you describe it amounts to exactly the same thing. I think we're on the wrong thread anyway so I'll leave you to it. Enjoy.

Stanbill05

It's clearly a strategy to get more diversity on the screens. No problem with that at all personally, but would have shaped thinking when Lawrenson's contract was being reviewed, being white and male will not have strengthened his case at all, which is fine given the advantages he will have enjoyed ...

Stanbill05

Its not a cast, im using the obvious absurdity of thinking sacking a white male manager because he is white and a man in a profession predominantly made up of white men to highlight the equally stupid idea of how when a white male sports pundit or commentator loses their job in a profession predomi...

Yeah I’ve never been careful with mine, and had muddy bikes thrown in the back of them for years and never had to pay any damages etc when handing back. Genuinely interested. Have you ever handed one back and walked away from PCP or do you just exchange for another car? I would expect much more res...

Nowhere near in my part of the country. Haven't closed all my windows yet. I'm up north tomorrow, sounds like I need to check the forecast and dig a winter coat out!

Not the result we wanted but I've seen enough tonight to convince me we have a real chance of winning the World Cup in Qatar. Southgate has been a master at getting his England teams to peak when it matters and it feels like its gonna happen again. It will still mostly be a dog **** watch even if t...

Depressing that this replaces a proper weekend of football..

Sterling I struggle with. He must have lost possession every time he's touched it and that isn't unusual. He probably pop up with a tap in but it's not worth it for me.

Stanbill05

I once aspired to having a nice car then we had kids and pets. The idea of needing to keep a car perfect to hand it back without accruing charges sounds like torture. If I'd spent too much of my own money on it I'd be even worse. No, crap cars all the way for me. I can shrug when the dogs sick or th...

First visit to this thread. Just read every page and I've watched 5 or 6 of those recommended. I need to try harder or stop paying my subscriptions, I've got years worth of viewing to catch up even the basics everyone has seen. It's my own fault, it's not as if my life is too busy or important, I wa...

Not a great game at all. The break in play for a clap was almost welcome. I think they should consider another one.

Straight mile? That place looks transformed compared to the last time I saw it? Used to be laden with trolleys and rubbish that stretch, some of the worst Leeds-Liverpool canal had to offer. I've zoomed as far as I can and found nothing, which is awesome. (Unless it's all blown up to Queens Park?)

Stanbill05

Absolutely. Never a free kick. VAR should have corrected it and booked the diver.

Parochial xenophobia? Bugger... It is true some of the Rovers fans I know are a challenge to tolerate, but I only want them to lose every week.

Stanbill05

Not sure how that could have gone any better. Of course it is fine to reserve judgement until we are 20 points clear, but I no longer think we are relegation fodder (which I considered a real risk when we were haemorrhaging players) and properly look forward to games again. Unprecedented transformat...

No pace and not at all clinical with the ball in the attacking third. He may have some qualities, but not a player I want to build a team around.

Cocktail history and speakeasy tour was a highlight for me. Not the cheapest night out I've ever had but genuinely interesting way to have too much booze.

Good luck with that. No idea who the target market is but it ain't anyone I know.

It was in the news before Saturday that fake tickets were a potential problem. Ticketless fans will also have turned up in numbers I've no doubt. There should be strong criticism of these people as well as the police and the locals and uefa. There are enough surveillance cameras to at least bottom o...

It's far from a coin toss, we're now 2/1 to be relegated. That means we're twice as likely to stay up than Leeds are. Yep. I'm very tempted to go in very heavy on Burnley to get relegated. Currently 12/5. I did the same for the Sheff Utd play off and was delighted to lose quite a lot of money. Migh...

Absolutely right. The guilty must be convicted properly. Upholding standards cannot be reserved for the innocent. Still must be **** successfully defending somebody you think is guilty. For some crimes more than others...

They're all at it. No idea what's going on. Most have missed games this year yet its still kicking off. Its a massive achievement for Burnley to competing at this level, but it's jam packed full of tossers I'd love to turn my back on. I'll be happy whilst we continue giving bloody noses, though Hope...

Throw the book at everyone involved. Including the families (both sides) if applicable. Who lets a 17 year old (or younger) jet round the world with a weird rich couple? What did they think was going on? I suspect they were thinking kerching then and were happy and are thinking kerching now. Was the...

Just read one of their message boards and a number are blaming the PL for a precedent set in previous games (including theirs against us). Seem balanced enough to me.
