He'll get fined, but it'll have the desired effect - he won't have to suffer Mason again.

No he'll get landed with Rob Jones instead as further punishment

This year keeps bringing bad news, roll on midnight and 2021, it surely can't be any worse.

RIP Tommy Doc, one of the last of the great characters in the game, I didn't realise he was 92, not a bad innings really,

This might be tougher than it appears, you may have too think back to our Championship days for inspiration.

I got 21/28, and I somehow missed an obvious one to boot.

Not ideal timing means we've got 3 games in 7 days counting the cup tie, and their form is way better now then it was back in September, mind you I suppose the same could be said about us.

tiger76

Good op. I'll try and choose some different ones to those already mentioned. Wade Elliott-sored arguably the most important goal in recent BFC history, and he'll always be a Clarets legend for that alone. Zidane- so I could ask what triggered his madness in the WC final. Southgate- to give him his P...

Just looking at his stats, incredible numbers, most ever England hat-tricks (6) and the all time top-flight goal scorer (357) not to mention his media career after retiring from the game, I am shocked he's only just getting an MBE, i actually thought he'd already been knighted, but clearly that wasn...

Sorry didn't want to clog up the takeover thread, so posting this separately.

Bramall Lane was opened in 1855, so surely that must be the oldest ground, unless of course you're including stadiums used for cricket, them it gets more complicated.

I wonder if Liverpool's poor run at the end of last season has spilled over into their erratic form this season, they won the title so easily last time that a downturn was inevitable, fortunately for them the rest of the league is just as or even more erratic. It's looking like as little as 75-80 po...

tiger76

Strange year that is finally coming to a close, so time to recall your memories both good, bad & ugly mine are as follows. The good. Pope's penalty save against Leicester, that was a huge turning point in our season, and we never looked back after that win. Jay Rod's great strike at OT, we finally b...

tiger76

United must be getting ideas of winning the title after that, Liverpool are definitely not firing on all cylinders this season. Only 4 points separating the top 4 it could be a thrilling end to the season if this continues. Good point for Newcastle, but it's worth remembering they're now winless in 5.

tiger76

This is poor from Liverpool, they're a shadow of the team from last season.

tiger76

Could do with the scousers winning, that would cap off a decent Christmas.

0-0 10 minutes in.

tiger76

So all being well we'll be under new management in 2021 (in the boardroom anyway) what are your expectations?, I'd settle for a comfortable top 10 place every season, and having a real crack at both the cups, that's the only criticism of Sean Dyche's rein, we haven't ever really threatened a decent ...

tiger76

Time to see if you've been paying attention in class

I clearly haven't I only scored a measly 8.

They’re a bang average middle of the table team. They're the league's top scorers but they've only managed to beat 2 teams in 12 games v teams in the top half of the table. Can't see Rovers troubling the top 6 this season, even a lot of their early season wins were achieved against teams with only ...

tiger76

Excellent news that we're almost back to full strength, Sean might have the welcome problem of a selection dilemma soon.

Either way the bench will be a lot stronger which can only be a good thing.

tiger76

But the Nations League provides a route for European Championship qualification. So surely those games had to be played. Do they maybe your right there's so many tournaments now that I often lose track, I thought these NL games where part of the next qualification phase for the 2024 Euros so surely...

tiger76

What is mental is that even with dips in form and injuries etc .... 52 points would have us finishing - 2015 - 10th 2016 - 9th 2017 - 8th 2018 - 8th 2019 - 9th 2020 - 11th Well we've finished 7th and 10th in a couple of our PL campaigns, so we really shouldn't be that surprised, we generally have g...

tiger76

Yes if we're going to get niggling injuries then this is the time to pick them up, at least after the weekend? then we don't have a league game for a couple of weeks, I doubt Charlie would have played in the cup tie anyway, so this shouldn't unduly affect us.

tiger76

International breaks largely filled with tarted up friendlies need to go as well I don't disagree, obviously the play-offs for the Euro's had to be played, but did there really need to be NL games and friendlies condensed into an already packed calendar, also all European comps should have been str...

tiger76

Sad that this behaviour still goes on in the 21st century, I'm afraid what appears to have happened is that these braindead idiots have taken their hate away from the terraces and taken it online, where of course they can hide behind the cloak of anonymity. I'm not against stricter guidelines, and e...

If Robbie keeps up this form he'll be a vital member of the squad during the rest of the season, whether I'd give him another contract is still up for debate, ideally I'd hope we secured a young pacy right winger who can take people on to add to our attacking options, but there's no doubting Robbie'...

tiger76

Good to see so many youngsters breaking through into the first team or matchday squad, it's great experience for those who actually play, and even for those who don't make it onto the pitch it's valuable experience just being involved with the 1st team squad, after many years of stagnation hopefully...

tiger76

Brighton are in trouble. The pundits cream over Potter for some reason, but that's 12 home games without a home win for them now 1 win in 14 for Brighton now, they are bang in the mix, they do draw a lot, but it's wins that lift you up the table, and until they start turning 1 point into 3 they'll ...

tiger76

Yes saw the Rovers score, I thought they'd snatched a draw, but then Udders scored a 92nd minute winner, this day gets better and better

Rovers slipping into mid-table mediocrity once again.

tiger76

All three are....we are safe as houses Not convinced we're safe as houses Steve, but we've garnered 15 points from our last 9 games, and that is nowhere near relegation form, if we maintain that ratio or near to it we'll be fine. Importantly we're picking up points against our fellow relegation riv...

tiger76

That's how I took the win tonight. Sure, the performance wasn't great, but tonight - it really was never going to be about that. It was about facing a team who were fighting for their absolute lives and would do anything to get their first win. They were always going to perform at their maxmum to g...

tiger76

Big win that, yes we can and will improve, but netting the 3 is all that mattered, A bonus that Brighton & West Brom both lost. 5 point gap to the bottom 3 now, and after 6 games I'd have bitten your hand off for that. Another clean sheet for Nick and the lads, I make that 6 for the season, it might...

tiger76

Reading these last two pages it’s as if nobody has seen us play like this. We always play like this. Why?Because it works. Not always and it doesn't always work, but if anybody expected us to steamroller Sheff Utd they were in dreamland, tonight was always going to be a tight affair, games against ...

tiger76

reverse of 2nd half against Leeds Exactly we pummelled them in the 2nd half, but they emerged with all 3 points, I'll take a poor performance and a win every day of the week over dominating a game and getting nothing. Bearing in mind our injury list at this moment in time as well this will be a big...

tiger76

Decent first 45, shame about Charlie's injury, but Ben popping up when we needed him too, more of the same 2nd half lads please.

tiger76

Sadly we can now add Charlie Taylor to our injury list, it never rains but it pours eh!

tiger76

No reason at all why a manager should resort to gobbing, it's bad enough in normal times, but with the situation it's inexcusable.

tiger76

Positive start unlucky Barnes, great save TBF.

tiger76

And Brady no assists in his last 26 appearances says Prime ? Yes but he's scored in that time, and if Chris Wood had taken his chances, Brady would've had at least 1 or possibly 2 assists this term, are you certain that info is correct, because I'm sure Robbie has been involved in at least one goal...

tiger76

Just seen the pre match interviews - lot of respect shown between Dyche and Wilder. Also fair okay to Wilder when he confirmed the positive Covid tests but that he wants to play football. Yes credit to Wilder, interview in full here. Hope I'm ok to post this. Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder o...

3 points please.
COME ON UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU CLARETS!!!

Christmas card scene isn't it, yep the 3 points would be a very nice late present from Santa.

I was astonished to read this week that Brownhill doesn't yet have a Premier League assist let alone a goal. Yes that surprised me as well, he showed with his thunderous strike at Millwall, that he has goals in him, and if he can get off the mark soon, then hopefully that will boast his confidence,...

Wilder has to really, in their dire plight draws aren't much use, it's wins they desperately need.

tiger76

It probably makes sense to take Benson out of the firing line, he's done ok when called upon, but this is a tough league for seasoned pros, let alone a 20 year old still learning the game, he'll come again, but excellent news that Brady is back, he's been one of our better performers this season, an...

Since when did stepping onto a football field do any good for Wilshere's fitness levels?

I never said it would work, but that's what Bournemouth are saying.

Apparently we’re are interested in Duncan Whatmore at borough, who’s out of contract in 2 weeks according to Sky Well he can play on both wings and as a centre forward, I'd guess we'd be looking at him slotting in on our right side. I don't know much about him apart from the fact he was at Sunderla...

Some bizarre comments on this thread, do people genuinely think that refs are corrupt? I don't believe that and unless posters have any proof it's a serious allegation to band around. Was the Jones guy useless-YES. Was he on the take-NO. I know we're all annoyed by the Leeds game, but we need to mov...

I missed Forest, but got the Wombles. Missed Saints too. Still on my first coffee though. Yes Saints was the one I missed, the early years are more difficult because the so called big 6 hadn't happened yet, allowing some of the more provincial sides a shot at glory. Let's hope if the same quiz is a...

India were without Virat, Rohit, Ishant & Shami for this match as well, making this comprehensive victory all the better for them, it shows the strength in depth they now possess in their ranks, all things being equal these 2 should be contesting the inaugural World Test Championship final, and if t...

Nobody can be as bad as Robert Jones, thankfully we've got an experienced head in the middle tonight, for this crucial encounter. So there shouldn't be any early whistling whilst a move is still in progress.

The great thing about Billy is you can watch his shows and you think you're talking to someone in the pub, his greatest ability is his sincerity, whether you like him or not he's completely genuine, and what you see is what you get, also he's able to relate to the working class due to his tough upbr...

It’s one win in ten games since he was appointed.

Oh! I didn't realise their form was so bad, even so how many times do you change the manager, clearly that whole club stinks from top to bottom, and whoever takes the reins has an almost impossible job on their hands.
