  1. https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=i&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjqusqCy-PgAhXNAGMBHW8pB68QzPwBegQIARAC&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bbc.co.uk%2Fnews%2Fentertainment-arts-17342940&psig=AOvVaw2RmrQhWTQT2pFi-BiTXiDI&ust=1551620524089597 RIP Mr Andrew Preview one of Eric and Ernie’s best sketches #AllTheRightNotes
  2. 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.
  3. Car park = Noah’s fishing vessel. Mars Bar = Your mother’s sheep impression.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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?
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. Ah forgot about the yellow. Fair enough
  11. Look more comfortable with Travis on, and suddenly their left isn’t as keen to take on Nyambe. Fancy that.
  12. He’s made the changes I would, apart from Rodwell off instead of Mulgrew.
  13. ‘What the fucking hell was that?’
  14. Commentators really emphasising how often we’re giving the ball away
  15. It pinned me to Preston/East Lancs! Very good!
  16. Just to update you all, Brereton’s missed tap-in just came through my roof.
  17. Next game: Raya; Nyambe, Rodwell, Mulgrew, Williams; Armstrong, Travis, Reed, Bell; Dack; Graham. We NEED some defenders.
  18. Sorry Tony, something’s going wrong. Put it right ASAP
  19. Not full time yet, but that game is 3 points dropped every time.
  20. I take everything back about Bell offering nothing going forward.
  21. It might be the camera angle but it looks like there are hardly any yellow-shirted players at times!
  22. Have to say, I’ve enjoyed BB’s performance up front. Not a chaser like Graham, but happy to dribble forward and just push it out into the channels. Needs to make sure he’s ready for the ball coming into the box though, instead of hanging round the D.
  23. I’m starting to wonder if my claim that ‘Second is fine’ last season has rubbed off on the team. Last 2 or 3 games have been pants. In fairness we’ve actually played well but why is our underbelly so exposed? Get some proper defending done at the back!
  24. Smallwood off for Dack or Rothwell please. Bell-end off for a traffic cone.
