Who in your family tree is from Burnley?

Just think of the media coverage the Wharton's would have got if they had started. So, the Danish pastry goes with Garrett and Mola. It would be difficult to make that up.

I think it's just 3 points more The league's averageness, as in crap, has compressed the league and the table provides odd readings. This should rectify itself over a full season and the cream will rise. Whatever we do or do not do in January will not match anywhere near what others can and will do in the transfer market.

Deliberate tactic to diminish the plain fact it's a massive derby. Take OUT the Blackburn born lads so the focus goes elsewhere ...

Concede a goal to a free header when playing 3 CBs. Concede a goal as a result of playing tippy tappy in our own area. Concede a third goal to cowardly defending and allow a player with the turning circle of an ocean liner to knock it in. And he's happy with that. it's straight from the Mowbray Book of Banal Comments.

The weather God's smiled. It was a close call for a while. Afridi getting injured and Stokes big over with the bat plus Ali saw us home. Curran and Rashid bowled well. Our catching was good Nice feeling so well done to Buttler and the lads.

I hope so, I just haven't seen much of him yet.

Morton is getting worse the more he plays. Mola was a disappointment and was getting ripped apart late in the game but it only the 2nd time I've seen him play and he was decent at WHAM so gets a break. Garrett was a mistake made by the manager. So, two non performers in midfield and we expect to defend for 90 and maybe even score ourselves? It might happen in the Swedish Sunday League but not at Championship level.

Not in Burnley.

I said the same the day we rescued Mowbray from the rubbish dump. We both know we are right, about the Dane too.

Oh fuck. We are going to have this "we are 3rd" non stop all through the WC month. It's a shit league and 3rd in mid November gets you fuck all. Zilch. Nowt.

And we have no one to give him a fecking good kicking. He was running amok like a fat schoolyard bully unrestrained by us and the ref. Pushed Kaminski over twice and nothing done. Fecking neanderthal and looks like one. Bastard. Actually he's a "shitgibbon"

We are still 3rd because the overall quality in the league is quite poor. Some of the bigger better funded teams are showing signs of waking up. Let's see where we are come January.

And people thought an Allardyce team was bad to watch. Well what I've just witnessed is poor beyond my words. Is the Dane still grinning like a Cheshire cat?

That sums it up for me and saves me going on a swearing rant.

He thinks he's being posh as he's on the telly. Not quite a full shilling.

As it turns out this ref is penalising almost next to nothing. I think you're right about Travis and reds.

Yes, it is. So maybe is Travis. We have a PL ref today, not exactly keen on flying tackles. It will be interesting.

David Coote – This will be only a second Championship fixture of the season for the Nottinghamshire-born official who has officiated regularly in the Premier League, and even the Champions League. He officiated Burnley’s 3-1 defeat to Aston Villa in May, while his last Rovers match was back in October 2020, a 4-2 home defeat to Reading.

With Rovers Raya was a great shot stopper but prone to brain farts and couldn't catch a cold. The combination of Raya and Nyambe both not being good at defending crosses cost us often with balls played to the far post. Now, under a different and dare I say much better coaching regime, Raya's skill set has improved in all aspects of the game. He may have wanted out, I don't fault him for that, but Mowbray did hang him out to dry. I also suspect he was a victim of the penalising wage structure for our Academy graduates. Modern day slavery. I wished him well when he left and hope he gets game time for Spain but I didn't cry when he left ..... I just didn't expect the moron to bring in friggin Walton FFS ...

There is more chance of getting play today than tomorrow but it could be a total washout, according to weather.com. I use it locally and it is amazingly accurate but I pray it's not as far as Melbourne goes today.

The Scouse Dingle, where Deluded fucks his sister Delusional. You kind of wonder where their care minders are.

Kompany gets the Manager of the Month award for October and inherits the curse at a most opportune time. JDT just dodged a bullet.

Thanks. I've not watched much of Chelsea this season.
