    Andy Hinchcliffe's top ten Championship players so far

    I think it's worth reading the two comments underneath it which pick him up for saying that. Any Claret's fan worth their salt know that Brighton are a strong side with a depth to them which will see them well throughout the season. I saw Hemed in one of your TV games early this season (was it...

    Andy Hinchcliffe's top ten Championship players so far

    very odd - can make a case for Gray but not Barton, he's been good for us but certainly not top 10. Just a case of using a recognisable name.

    Best own goal ever?

    Austrian, Just about to post that one - sad thing was that Brass was a half decent defender, I think he also managed York.

    Shootings and explosion in Paris!

    What I got from the article was how ISIS are a very different organisation to what many people consider (especially in reference to how they are set up). They need confrontation, because without it their ideology starts to fail and given that this is the main driver of ISIS it needs to be...

    Shootings and explosion in Paris!

    I posted a link to the same article a few pages back, I agree that it's a very comprehensive article and well worth reading.

    Hughton: Burnley will show us our "our level"

    All clubs have them sadly - a lot thought because we were in the Prem it meant that we could sign anyone we wanted. They failed to realise that you can easily bankrupt a club with a couple of players on very big contracts.

    Shootings and explosion in Paris!

    A very detailed and quite long article on what ISIS is looking to achieve, how it was formed and how it differs from other terrorist organisations. http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2015/03/what-isis-really-wants/384980/ Certainly recommend reading it.

    ** Burnley v BHA ** - Score Predictor - 5th SEASON !!

    1-1 if I do an accumulator this weekend this could be a pick for a draw. Dyche won't want to lose and Hughton will be happy with a point.

    Hughton: Burnley will show us our "our level"

    Hi all, Just an aside to the link concerning Burnley transfers, we bought Gray for what's thought to be £6 million, rising to £9. We're also waiting for Ings' transfer fee to be decided (at tribunal). Take these into account and you might find that we're even on the transfer front. Financially...

    Homeopathy could be blacklisted

    Good to hear that you're ok, as I said that's the important thing. The context of quantum physics was mainly to contrast with the way you build up scientific knowledge through theory and test with experiments. Hawking betted against it ever being found, but it was. I find this at odds with...

    Homeopathy could be blacklisted

    Blue Valkyrie, I appreciate that you don't wish to divulge the condition you had, however, can you clarify that the homoeopathic treatment itself worked and by this I mean independently of any other treatment (including the body's own ability to heal)? You state you had taken conventional...

    Kyle Lafferty

    I can't say I have a great deal of positive stuff to say about him, he left us under quite a cloud. He had everything going for him and we accepted he'd move on but the way he conducted himself was lacking. Did alright at Rangers including the infamous headbutt dive...

    Ruben Loftus-Cheek

    Danny Higginbotham was on Talksport a while back and he was very astute in his observations of how football has changed in relation to this. He cited his development and how, at Utd, the young players were in awe of the senior players and would listen to them at any chance. This contrasts with...

    Ruben Loftus-Cheek

    we had Chalobah on loan when in the Prem, had high hopes for him but he never really sparked for us. On a totally different subject and in no way connected to our experience it can be a danger to sign young guys who are on huge salaries as there can be an attitude issue.

    'Why does'......in films

    cars exploding when shot (think Mythbusters did this one) bombs always have timers on them. Purely to heighten the "will he disarm in time" tension. I remember coming across a website with hundreds of these.

    Lewes and District Sunday League

    BigGully, I agree in part with the challenges, the culture of "don't let him know it hurt" has all but gone, however, I am referring to challenges which border on the criminal. In one game our centre forward was lying on the floor and their CB stamped on his lower back and got a laugh from a...

    Lewes and District Sunday League

    I remember playing for a mens team as a 16 year old (Buckingham Park). Played lots of pub football and I think that the decline can be attributed to a number of reasons: Cost/value for money Without doubt the main reason, it’s very expensive to play these days. The facilities haven’t got...

    Fallout 4

    Alien Isolation? Not played it but it falls into the 'survivalist' genre (e.g. The Last of Us) which sees you as very much up against it. It's a stark contrast to other games which allow you a plethora of weapons and ammo/health. Some of the Deadspace games can be a bit like this, downright...

    George Osborne's family company has paid no tax for seven years

    it's worth checking out Private Eye for how the non-dom tax laws have been crafted . Even though they've changed the laws the like of the Daily Mail owners can still avoid them.

    Sam Burgess - what a mess

    Thought I'd post this - an excellent article on how rugby is viewed and played in NZ. http://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2015/sep/11/all-blacks-how-new-zealand-sustains-its-rugby-dynasty
