    The top three

    From a Burnley fan's perspective we got away with it today - we do rely on the opposition not taking their chances, whilst Barnes missed a sitter had Woods been half decent I think it would have been a draw. Gray looks tired and needs a break, Vokes picked up a knock as well. One of our...

    Protein powder sellers in Brighton

    Muscle repair is facilitated far more by decent sleep, stretching and drinking enough water. Alcohol inhibits repair so you will to knock that on the head. I've been going to the gym for a good few years now, I've noticed the increased numbers of protein shakes etc on the market and for 99% of...

    Fund run by David Cameron’s father avoided paying tax in Britain (Panama leaks)

    what I find near incomprehensible is how poorly Cameron has handled this. Whether you love him or hate him he's almost been teflon with the press and his background in PR meant he has been able to get around situations far more difficult than this with ease. Yet he's almost gone out of his way...

    "Barton to face no retrospective action"

    I think from a Brighton perspective the Barton controversy has somewhat hijacked the main issues, realistically and as I have said on a previous thread, you could and should have had the 3 points regardless of Barton. You had some good attacking plays which didn't quite work and two gilt edged...

    Fund run by David Cameron’s father avoided paying tax in Britain (Panama leaks)

    Except he is already planning on going. Attacking him seems somewhat pointless seeing as he'll be off shortly, there's a vested interest somewhere. Perhaps with all the Tory infighting it's a case of someone settling a score...

    Fund run by David Cameron’s father avoided paying tax in Britain (Panama leaks)

    what I find most interesting is that the pro-Tory papers are running strongly with it. Convention says that papers such as the Mail might stay away from any paper which deals with tax status bearing in mind its owners, even more so a story which is bad for the Tories. I would have put money on...

    Barton

    I noticed this and wondered if there had been any history between the two? As a Burnley fan I cannot defend the stamp and it doesn't do well to try, at the very best Kayal had his leg up trying to block Barton going past him but that in no way justifies what Barton did. I was surprised that we...

    Tactical mistake today?

    I can't really see much fault applied to Hughton, your lot played very well today and should have taken the 3 points. You had a gift of a chance in the first half and in the second half there was a break where you only needed to cross it to Wilson and he would have had a tap in. Managers can't...

    Litter Wardens

    Ironically that's probably their thought process. So you've got footage of someone dropping something but they won't give you their name. You then do what (bearing in mind how costly the process could be in order to find them)? People tend to flytip in empty places at unsocial hours, getting...

    Litter Wardens

    I'd be keen to understand how this will work in practice, as they are a private firm they will be looking for quick and easy turnover. So if a load of rubbish is tipped round the corner do you think they'll be interested in a drawn out and legally expensive court case (accruing evidence...

    Terry to return for England?

    as an aside I've never been wholly convinced by the 'we need experience' argument which seems to carry huge weight and is used carte blanche. There are different types of experience and not all of it good. For example, does a captain with a wealth of experience kick a player right under the...

    Bell Cheeses at work

    If Isis were serious they'd bring the UK to a standstill by resetting the thermostats in all the workplaces. I have had this issue at work recently, the temperature does fluctuate but sheesh, the exaggerations I've heard. Whitechapel - some of those were Pilkington-esque!

    Team vs Burnley

    I think Rosenior could be a key player for you - we play with inverse wingers and both Boyd and Arfield really attack the space between the full back and the centre back. Boyd isn't as effective but he'll be running that line all day and it's usually easier to defend for a right footed player...

    Parent governor role to be scrapped in schools shakeup

    as with most things it's all about the timing. Anything announced the day after a budget (when discussion is likely to be focused on the Chancellor's plans) is there for a reason, it was obviously hoped this would pass unnoticed. For various reasons the Tory party wanted this to avoid being in...

    Number nine, Ashley Barnes!

    Jutkiewicz - injured his cruciate in September during a match, s he's still nowhere near match fit and even back then it looked like we were trying to sell him. Our backup strikers are Chris Long (very young striker signed from Everton) and Hennings. The latter is generally brought on though...

    Official Running Thread

    cheers Knocky, I only picked up the Park Run as an addition to my general fitness regime, so I'm far from a devoted runner. It's just nice being able to carve into my times as I thought these were rather set in stone!

    Recorded another PB on Saturday on the Hove Promenade Park Run, in sight of under 25 minutes which is something I never thought I'd get near. The main change has been eating an hour before running (previously I didn't eat till after). I hit the sweet spot from the off so I don't think I've got...

    Top Gear at The Cenotaph.

    strange - it's almost as if a programme, which has been stripped of its naught boy image by virtue of losing its main presenters somehow got some press coverage of its presenters misbehaving. I'm sure it's all coincidental and not a PR stunt designed to reaffirm that image. Much like the...

    knocked 50 seconds off my Park Run PB. Bizarre, didn't feel quicker than normal but very happy with it!

    Burnley v Blackburn

    I've only seen the Clarets a few times this season and I think I've made this point on another thread which reviewed one of our games so forgive me for repeating myself. We rarely dominate games, we hit on the counter and allow the opposition plenty of possession. The reverse fixture saw...
