I always thought Heerenveen should change their name to Heerentheer.

I believe mhead and others (I forget their usernames, doh!) are attending on behalf of Rovers Trust.

Have to admit, you’ve surprised me with how good it is! I usually take a while to get used to changes, but the home page is excellent

I’d forget about Arma being a wing option and play him up front. That’d give us 3 options up top (Graham, Arma, Brereton) with different attributes and 3 pairings with different attributes. Need to look at bringing in a brute to challenge Graham or phase him out. Need a brute at the back too, a experienced keeper to challenge and educate Raya, and another good winger to replace Conway. Other stuff too, but they’d be my priorities.

Dack’s free kick just come through our window!

Not so much about pronouncing it differently, but it’s a very difficult word to lipread and the audible difference between those particular sounds is very subtle at my level of hearing. Only thing that prompted me to wonder was his nickname being ‘Breo’ (with an ee sound) among the players Thanks for clarifying

Can someone clear up how to pronounce Brereton? Is it Bre-re-ton or BrEREton (as in ‘here’)?

Asked a Horwich pal of mine about Lowe: ’He puts the effort in, but that’s it. The effort doesn’t get us anywhere. We actually play better football without him. But without him we lack a bit of midfield strength and teams roll us over.’

I always thought Butterworth was a striker?

Some terrific golf been played in the Masters. He’s not for everybody after his controversy, but if Tiger Woods completes his comeback to the top today, I think it ranks up there as one of sport’s great stories. G’wan Tiger!

I’d be well up for this!

If I’ve got it right, we could see a relatively major English derby match in the CL semi AND final! Utd vs Liverpool Utd vs City And I’d be interested in neither compared to T’Classico

No shame in that, Raya’s last loan was at Southport.

I think Wigan have ‘got ahead of themselves’ a little bit.

I think a clean sheet on Magloire’s debut not only shows he is at least able at this level, it emphasises the importance of playing centre backs at centre back. I reckon that Lenihan can now also be called a centre back, he’s played there long enough for us and has a scrappiness to him that I like. Mulgrew isn’t a centre back at this level, and Rodwell is passable when alongside a runner like Lenihan. But I honestly believe we need to be investing in 2 centre backs capable of starting, with back up coming from Lenihan, Rodwell and the u23s. As noted in the transfer window thread, Hanley and Bauer would set us up nicely. Any other positions, we have decent quality but need to start upgrading.

Don’t ‘should’ me Fraserkirky. I’ll should you right back, I’ll should you right through that window. #Tuckered

Not specifically but I agree with our area having so many distinct accents. If you were to travel from Burnley to Manchester taking the M65, then A666, I count at least 8 different accents. Burnley, Accy, Blackburn, Darwen, Egerton, Bolton, Pendlebury(ish), Salford, Manchester. Tempted to include the Rishton/Gt Harwood area separately too.

Car park = Noah’s fishing vessel. Mars Bar = Your mother’s sheep impression.

Friedel Berg Todd Short Warnock Thompson Tugay Savage Duff Bellamy McCarthy Gone for more of my favourites than ‘best’, because surely most people’s bests will be the same.

Pukka do some nice flavoured teas, but you can’t beat Yorkshire Tea. It shames me to say, but Lancashire Tea is worse than a Burnley victory.

Ditto under Hughes, didn’t we have a team full of players who were (or had been) captains at international level? Friedel, Nelsen, Zurab, Samba, Mokoena, Savage, Tugay, Roberts, possibly Reid?

Would’ve taken the point beforehand, and even now I’m happy with it. Just wish we didn’t keep throwing points away. Hard, nasty bastard required at the back alongside Lenihan. Mulgrew finished by looks of it, needs replacing either by Rodwell, a signing, or maybe an u23 defender.

YES!!! And all the other ‘names’ for a teacake are either TYPES of teacake or are different things entirely. ‘Teacake has currants in it’, no, that’s a currant teacake. Barm? Slightly bigger teacake, slightly crusty... crust. Oven bottom? Huge teacake. Cob? A teacake with chips in it. Muffin? Sweet bun. Scone? A FRIGGING SCONE. Stottie? Are you on ketamine or something, sounds like a dog-related speech impediment.

After today, we need to keep things as simple as possible in terms of how it has worked for us before. Going off who’s available: Raya Nyambe Rodwell Mulgrew Bell Bennett Travis Reed Armstrong Dack Graham Once all are fit and available: Raya Nyambe Lenihan Rodwell Bell Chapman Travis Reed Armstrong Dack Graham Mulgrew, Bennett and Evans can still be useful, but not as starters anymore where possible.
