His son was searched, not "touched up". I was searched as I went in today, the steward barely touched me, just patted obvious areas where I might have something, like pockets and around my waist. It probably took no more than 5 seconds, and was no different to hundreds of times that this has happened both home and away. I had my 15 year old son with me who was not searched, but I would have no problem had he undergone the same procedure as me. Sent from my SM-T590 using Tapatalk

We will, a footballing lesson. Sent from my SM-T590 using Tapatalk

It wasn't the result so much that I was talking about, more the way in which Burnley play. It's a horrible, horrible way to play football but, ultimately if you don't deal with it the better team will loose. For an hour we were better, although both teams were average at best, after they scored we were dire. Sent from my SM-T590 using Tapatalk

Just got back. It was Burnley, we got bullied, what did you think was going to happen. First half we were ok, second half until they scored we were ok. After they scored we were all over the place and a mess. Nobody looked very good, subs made no difference.

I'm probably going to park at Burnley Cricket club which is literally next to the ground, last year I parked on Doris Street park which is small but only about 500 meters up the road from the ground.

Always knew that the deadwood would weigh us down. We were never going to shift the numbers that some people thought we would or should, other clubs are not stupid. That said, I think we're stronger than last season and if Boufal responds to Ralph well, then he'll be like a new signing. Can't see us pulling up any trees, but we'll be ok.

Maybe so, who knows. But he could've opted to stick around, take the buck for nothing and run the contract down. He's opted to play so all power to him. I'm not his greatest fan, but credit where due, he did a job for us, not the greatest but certainly not the worst I've seen. Good luck to him at WBA.

TalkSport reporting that almost done and that Charlie taking a significant drop in wages - thanks, and good luck Charlie.

Been listening also - real refreshing stuff from Johnson. You would hope that there are not too many Berahinos' out there - but then again, who knows?

They have, but they've decided to use the fork lift instead....!

Noted and agreed. However it's still a great opportunity for him at the best club in his homeland, it's not surprising that he made the decision that he did. It's also no slur on the club that he decided to leave us (not that I'm suggesting that you're suggesting that it is - but others have).

Exactly. Our resident conspiracy theorists have had a mare on this one. Saints or Bayern, ummmm decisions, decisions...

Wrong bloke mate, you're after Heisenberg, he's the resident "cheeky side bet" merchant. Thanks anyway. Sent from my SM-T590 using Tapatalk

Must admit, that was always the obvious flaw in my plan! Sent from my SM-T590 using Tapatalk

Or got a 0 - 1 win to a 92nd Danny Ings winner written all over it.

Slot filled - Adrian.

(1) Where will we finish in the league? --- 11th (2) Which round we will reach in the Mickey Mouse Cup? --- Quarters (3) Which round in the FA cup? --- 5th Round (4) Leading Goalscorer? --- Che Adams (5) Our player of the season? --- PEH (6) Which player will surprise you most? --- (Hopefully, Shane Long) / JWP (7) How do you think our great neighbors will get on down the M27? --- My 'Give a Shyte' meter is not even flickering.

Exactly, all a bit of a non story really isn't it. Player not fancied by new manager is left out of team, ummm wonder if that's happened many times before at any other club? Unless your one of these people who want to continue to beat one of our ex managers, I think there's nothing to see here. Time to move on. Sent from my SM-T590 using Tapatalk

Thank God there's only another couple of weeks before we can start talking about the football. Sent from my SM-T590 using Tapatalk

Pretty much what I suspected to be honest, and to be fair - something the club have said is that we need to move people on to bring people in. Lemina was just featured on TalkSports transfer update program, where they implied that he appeared to be used as a bargaining tool by so called interested clubs. 'He is on the wanted list of lots of clubs, but just not very high on their lists...!'. It appears Everton are now looking at another midfielder instead of him. If we're finding it difficult to offload the likes of him though, getting rid of Hoedt, Austin et al will be harder still. Might have to go with what we've got now - another bumpy ride coming up.

A lot of water has passed under the bridge since then. Good thread though - thanks.
