    Apologies malwayne, because he's Argentinian I thought I'd send him the long way round.

Now he’s out on his ear. Know how he feels? Enfermo como un loro. That is how he feels.
    Sick as a parrot! Love it!

    I don’t mind at all. As a matter of fact my brother served in the Falklands on HMS Sheffield , and was very lucky to come out in one piece. He was also “Mentioned In Dispatches” for putting his life on the line trying to help others when the Exocet hit. War- not a nice experience.

    malwayne----one hell of an experience that your brother went through and I sincerely hope that he is okay.
    Sadly, in my charity work for SSAFA I have dealt with a few veterans who served in The Falklands and suffer from PTSD so it is always of concern to me.

    On a lighter note, I was playing at the dedication and unveiling of the Memorial in Stanley and have since been back a couple of times to pay respects.
    As you say ---"War - not a nice experience."

    Key thing was your club stood by your manager to give him enough games to let the Burnley way succeed.

    Our owners panicked after results against teams we were always likely to lose to and just before the run of games we had a chance of winning began.

    Good luck to you - premier league better with teams like Burnley in it which buck the orthodoxy!

    Cheers HO, for your kind words. On us not sacking Dyche, you could be right, it may be that our owners have simply kept faith in him and given him time. It might also be a consideration that they couldn't afford to pay up his contract should they sack him.
