8 minutes and 20 seconds from stardom. Vlogs about Burnley FC. Swears a lot. Proud Socialist. Runs One Touch Football, the ex-forum for When Saturday Comes. (https://www.onetouchfootball.com) Often wrong, never in doubt.

Burnley vs Brighton (Premier League) I woke on Saturday morning, expecting the guy fitting our new bathroom to turn up as promised. About ten minutes after he was due to arrive, he texted to say he was on his way. About 15 minutes after that, he texted again to say that he was turning back due to snarled up traffic. This is why we are three weeks into a two week fit out, with no end in sight. So I went over to my father in laws house to continue clearing it out and preparing it for a sale. We had some stuff to give to neighbours and friends, rather than take it to the tip and there was a frustrating 10 minutes or so where I had to clean out the hoover due to him having a carpet that sheds like a particular furry cat. A quick shower, before hopping into the car and dropping off some plants for a friend to look after as we go away for a few weeks. Due to the time, I had to knock the planned visit to my mums on the head and skip the usual pre-match fish and chips at Bannys in favour of sitting in the car at a petrol station in Bredbury eating a Subway. Turkey, ham, bacon, cheese and toasted on a footlong wheat. Lettuce, red peppers, cucumber and Chipotle Southwest sauce. The drive down the M60/M66 was pleasant enough, although some weirdo in a Toyota insisted on doing 60mph in the outside of the two lanes from Bury all the way past Ramsbottom. I took the A56 over the tops as it is a nicer drive, dropped down into Burnley and thankfully the Manchester Road roundabout was comparatively easy to go round before finding a parking spot which was slightly further up the hill than usual. Once parked up, I tidied up the various USB cables, popped the back seats up as the car has made several trips to the tip to carry away bits of the old bathroom, popped on my coat and hat and locked the car. Brighton won 2-0 and it was boring as shit.
