We won the League at Ewood Park - Burnley FC

I think we lost the two finger battle years ago

Only the memories remain

Favourite one of hers for me is "Frontier Wolf" or "The Lantern Bearers"

Based on the criticism of the predictions of the panellists during last weeks pods, can I say that you got my teams position and chances exactly right (depressingly!)

Used to work for a UK-Irish haulage firm and an Irish Sea ferry company

I have to be ashamed to admit to never having seen one, despite working in Dublin a fair bit!

Yeah, I know absolutely nothing about the Irish Navy but the only things I've read suggest that keeping them at sea is a real issue with manpower shortages

Doesn't suggest that they are fully trained in anti-drone warfare (mind you, who is?)

But they only four of them - might not have been one in the area

Irish Navy vessels don't have anything like that

Though you'd assume the main gun on these would be able to take out drones

Hope she has a five-year plan for her employment prospects after the next election
December 7, 2025 at 10:05 AM
Yeah - was expecting a collapse after going down to ten

Only got banned after not posting for a year for (i assume!) Posting about that sort of stuff on twitter BTW!

Sorry I didn't reply yesterday - had stuff on

Not enough quality and its unforgiving at this level
December 6, 2025 at 5:22 PM
Been banned for calling out the bullshit and the racism so I only read these days!

Yeah, i don't think Parker got the credit he deserved for essentially rebuilding a team in a week and then getting 100 points

But the prem needs him to adapt, and that is the challenge for him
December 6, 2025 at 1:42 PM
Oh christ, not like all those old duffers on UTC who go about the 60s like it can come back if we just get owned by the local butcher or something

But yeah, its defo an age thing

Just a lot more fun when you were younger, and the key is remembering that and not turning one of the above people!
December 6, 2025 at 1:33 PM
Yeah, he has the intensity and desire that you need

I'm not sure everyone in our team has

Mind you, that is where the likes of Dubravka and Walker are so valuable

But end of the day, our squad cost x, and we've had to change it drastically every season

That has an effect and we are seeing it
December 6, 2025 at 1:29 PM
I think that is an age thing though

The reality is that our football team doesn't have a place in the PL, isn't wanted and I'm not sure any of the fanbase really want this every week

Plus like you say, that FIFA thing is just clearly rampant corruption completely out of control and its...not good
December 6, 2025 at 1:26 PM
Oh today is a write off

The only consolation of Wednesday was seeing Ekdal back and him and Steve looking a lot better

Course, nailed on for that to be changed today
December 6, 2025 at 1:24 PM
I was sick of it by the end under Dyche, sick of making mistakes every game under Kompany, and just bored by Parkerball

It probably an age thing and an PL thing, but us bouncing around the bottom every other season is fast losing its appeal
December 6, 2025 at 1:23 PM
I don't think the crowd is the issue

It was a morgue when we were there earlier in the season, cos Villa weren't playing well and we make it tricky for them

I think the fundamental issue with Parkers style is that you never feel like the team are going for it 100%, cos that it all about control
December 6, 2025 at 1:21 PM
Cynical me thinks that is because they are looking at their parents houses
December 6, 2025 at 10:22 AM
Thats just me Nick!

I fear for your replies in all honesty
