    Love a bit of rugger and the RBS. Not going to Watford so having a sports day. Footy and Rugby. So not much extra time ref! You'd think it would be an Ireland v England decider, but as you say. You can never rule out Wales especially as they are at home to England and Ireland.

    The Joke thread

    A man died and went to Heaven. As he stood in front of the Pearly Gates, he saw a huge wall of clocks behind him. He asked, "What are all those clocks for?" St. Peter answered, "Those are Lie-Clocks. Everyone who has ever been on earth has a Lie-Clock. Every time you lie, the hands on your clock...

    The Joke thread

    I came home from the pub four hours late last night. "Where the fuck have you been?" Screamed my wife. I said, "I've been playing poker with some blokes." "Playing poker with some blokes?" She repeated. "Well, you can pack your bags and go!" "So can you," I said. "This isn't our house anymore."

    Transfer window..

    OK. Got in a defensive midfielder, tick. Got in a wide man, tick. More importantly we got in a player who can deliver free-kicks and corners, where we have been lacking thus far. Would have liked a striker and/or a creative winger but reasonably happy to have replaced an injury prone and ageing...

    Civil War

    You know the way it works Johnny. Democracy only works as long as the left get their way, or they throw a hissy. Twas always so.

    Rugby style sin-bins?

    Yes with a blackboard and a Dunces Hat. He can write 'lines' such as 'I shall not dive' while he serves his sentence!

    Match Day Burnley v Leicester, Tuesday 31st January 19:45

    Best we've played all season. We got the ball down and actually played on the deck. Some lovely stuff at times. If we had our shooting boots on it would have been more. Not seen the MOTD highlights but doubt it did us much credit in just how dominant we were. Was it a handball for our goal...

    Why Jurgen Klopp will fail at Liverpool

    No team can maintain that level over a season, every club has a lean spell regardless of how talented a group they have. I noticed against us and against Wolves at the weekend. Both teams set up against Liverpool in a similar way. Sit with two banks of four, well organised defensively and let...

    Stickied Transfer Rumours 2018/19

    Yeah still don't understand that one. Granted we don't have a billionaire benefactor, but when we've just been rated top 5/10 net/gross profit in Europe for 2014/15. He can hardly say he hasn't got money. Probably closer to £30 million today IF all the deals come off. Trotting out the money...

    FA Cup 2016-2017

    Ahh thanks for that! Not taking this game lightly! We Burnley fans still shudder at getting beat at home off Wimbledon when we were in the top flight and they were non-league back in the 70's.

    FA Cup 2016-2017

    Glad to see it's not just me being cynical! Sutton v Arsenal. Bound to be on TV but can Sutton switch it to the Emirates? Far bigger pay day for them. I seem to remember going to watch Accrington Stanley playing Scunthorpe in the cup years ago at Ewood Park because they could get a bigger...

    Most you have spent on anything?

    Jesus! €700 a month! I'd like that number too. I can think of a few exes. Does he do BOGOF deals? :lol:

    Stickied Transfer Rumours 2018/19

    Ashley Westwood from Villa. I can see the logic. Young enough. Defensive midfielder. Allows our more creative players more freedom. I'd guess it's only a squad signing in case of Joey Barton being banned. Brady and Robertson reliant on Norwich and Hull replacing them but expected to sign. Some...

    Most you have spent on anything?

    All when I lived in the States. Material wise, house aside as that wasn't owned outright. Bought a Dodge Caravan back in 2001 which cost a fair amount of dosh second hand though. $3,500 as I recall. It was a 24 hour car dealership and I'd been drinking so vaguely recall my missus picking me up...

    Would you take your partner to watch a football match with you?

    Yeah. She's fanatical about football. She'd be furious if I went on without her

    Mobile Phone Question (Notification volume)

    I am not much better myself Leo. I rarely use it for anything other than calls or texts. It's useful if it rings and you're not within range to pick up though. Can hear who it is without having to wander through several rooms to find out it's just a cold caller, or worse; the Mother-In-Law...

    U21 Premier League Cup

    Ahh! That explains it. Cheers for that. Though, like you say; not many could or would want to go to an away game for a 1pm start on a weekday.
