Re: Name the player from the clubs they played for.

I got 14. I'd have probably done better if they'd restricted it to players who had played in England.

Re: Play like that next week

There is no doubt we're playing better away from home than earlier in the season, and we only lose by one goal now.

But there is a sad inevitability about our away results, and I fear the worst at Sunderland.

You're right there, Leisure, but it's fine now.
It is, generally, entirely safe going to away matches now.

Re: Roll call for Anfield...

I'll be doing what I usually do for matches at Anfield or Goodison.

Drive to Ormskirk, park ( free ) at the station, get the train to Kirkdale, and walk to the ground from there across Stanley Park.

It was embarrassing, and it hurts.

But a win, or even a draw, at Hull, and it's forgiven and forgotten, for me.

My 1-2-3 are exactly the same as CT's.

Re: A Warm Welcome to the Bee Hole End - a new online home for Burnley fans!

For the past few months I have been unable access the old site on my computer at home for more than a few seconds, before it went 'Clarets Mad is not responding'. I am planning to retire at the end of this year and I was worried I was going to lose touch with you all. No such problems with this site...
