  1. No but it’s like being at a charity auction bidding £15 for Alan Shearers title winning shirt, you know you aren’t winning but putting your hand up makes you look like you are involved
  2. If Kargbo does sign it’s insane how long it’s taken to get it over the line. It’s like we think deadline day is the target not the last chance!
  3. Over a decade ago we did a ‘sportsman’s’ Event at Blackburn golf club, got Simon Garner as a speaker if I recall and the bloke that made Tash Force. Sold out as well I think.
  4. Best hairdo we’ve been linked with all window
  5. I think Thomas-Asante should be the one we are going for, if nothing else let’s get as many double barreled names in the team we can. Cozier-Durberry O’Grady-Macken Rankin-Costello Murphy-Worrall I just feel you need more to build a proper squad!
  6. Subbed off at half time hope he’s not hurt
  7. 0-0 - the true winner is myself, as I didn’t watch a minute of it. Burnley do know how not to concede.
  8. Pears isn’t a great keeper but it would be pointless selling him now unless there is really a silly offer; he’s no longer one of our biggest weaknesses which shows he’s come a long way.
  9. They are one of the worst though, didn’t they fly to Australia or similar for a tour the day after the season finished? Jokers
  10. Reminded me of Tim Flowers (hard to criticise by comparing to a legendary keeper) he often went for free kicks with his arms somehow invisible
  11. Whilst I wouldn’t be shocked and I wouldn’t blame him part of me thinks (unpopular opinion time) that he knew what he was getting into. All you have to do is look at recent history, and I know people always think they can tame a bad boy and this time it will be different, it never is. In a way I envy him, he can escape this, and he can do it with his head held high, we are destined to live in this hell cycle until someone somehow shows us some mercy. 13 years ago I was naive enough to think my words could help if I got chance to speak with the owners, part of the fans forum and never missed a home game, now I’m a lapsed season ticket holder who feels detached from the club my family has always loved but still feel the pain of our decline.
  12. Got to say it’s really poor from Pears that free kick, there’s no way he should be beat that easily
  13. Annoyingly Burnley will have chance to go top against Leeds Sheff United battering Hull but 2-0 down
  14. Once again unleaded beats the local press to the punch
  15. Football in the community May 2024 https://youtu.be/zat6ljqS5eg?feature=shared
  16. Reckon Burnley may win tonight, 5-0 up at half time
  17. Lad seems more bothered about his podcast though than reporting on us on anything a millimetre below the surface or handed to him
  18. More likely they did their homework on Pears and the tactic still paid off
  19. He deserves dropping. I’d be all for it to send a message, problem being who comes in?
  20. He’s never been one to bite the hand that feeds him either. ‘Get Real’ sticks in the memory
  21. The thing is we didn’t ’lose’ a player that scored 33 goals - we sold him, that happens in football, the difference is usually the clubs will reinvest to replace. I feel for Eustace but as a club it’s a problem of our own making from the top brass
  22. Whilst Eustace is currently working minor miracles it stings to lose to the managerial powerhouses of Rooney and Lampard this season, both with rank average teams who didn’t have to do too much to get the wins.
  23. I’d say a poll of anyone that watched would very strongly come to the same conclusion
