I’m starting to think that even getting four wins with this lot was an achievement in itself.

Burnley cash and borrowings totals over the last few years. The club were taken over on 31 December 2020. Are these two issues connected?

[Michael Short @MickeyJShort]

@bodenknights Can confirm this is true. *I* was that father!

The Football Governance Bill was in the Commons yesterday and passed by 415 votes to 98. A big win.

We're very proud of the role our supporter groups played in this - it's a long road.

I’d love this. when crowds sing an anthem well - sunshine on leith at hibs, mull of kintyre at forest, even you fill up my senses at sheff u - the hairs on the back of the hand prickle. A decent topic for the pods I reckon

Times Like These should be our anthem - every time I hear the song it reminds me of Burnley. If fans sang it before every game I think it would improve the atmosphere massively!

The Fulham and Nigeria star has been giving out free food, including turkeys, to local residents struggling to pay for their Christmas dinner. ⁣

Can't think of anything worse. There's no way any of em would do their full turn in the nets so muggins would be stuck in goal for most of the game.
