Those on 20+ goals at 1000/1 on SkyBet will be nervous if they haven't cashed out already  |

What a brilliant story! His grandad was a sparky down Florence pit when I worked there. He got killed while he was doing his stuff working on the coalface in No. 3 pit. He was a decent lad and it's a damned shame he couldn't get to see what his grandson has achieved. Gooaaarrrn Ben! OS. He got crushed at the top of 7s East dip,waggon tipped over and crushed him.I sadly was there RIP Tony. Thanks for that, simple. At 80 the memories become fuddled. I was a crutter with Franky Nash's team - me, Big Ron Shenton, Eddie Vincent, and Ricky. We did all noons. Apart from me, all are now dead. Take care fella. As you say, RIP Tony. OS. |

he needs to get a few more goals before he leaves just to make sure he validates people's bets. Wonder what Blackburn's identification process has been for forwards recently because it appears to be paying off! More a case of “finally” rather than recently with BBD. He was seen as a costly flop for most of his time there. |

I’d be fuming if I was a fan of PL club and we were linked with him (or Tyrese) for 20m. 😂
I like both players a lot but it’s way too much. But clubs will pay it.

Scored Chile’s goal in a 1-2 defeat to Argentina last night. Quality looping far post header.
Be great if he could get to the World Cup but Chile’s pathways are fast closing ☹️

He was seen as a costly flop for most of his time there. He's 22! Cost an awful lot for an 19 year old but as I keep saying about our young players they don't get in the squad as the finished article and need time to develop. You are right, for £6 million you expect more than 10 goals in the first three seasons from a striker but the investment and patience are paying off. |

Be great if he could get to the World Cup but Chile’s pathways are fast closing ☹️ I was listening to the South American expert on talk sport and said Chile turned to desperate measures last night in playing away from home up some mountains where temperatures can either be boiling or freezing. Seemed like the plan was to throw Argentina off course but I wouldn't have thought any benefit to Chile either and wouldn't they have been better of playing at usual home ground? |

More to do with the altitude I think, the Chile players having more time to acclimatise. Anyway yeah fat lot of good it did 🙄 |

He can look a bit lost sometimes but the fans still love him because he works so hard and has a knack of popping up with a goal even if he hasn’t been in the game much.. he’s also capable of a trick or two, or a clever pass to take players out of the game. Certainly done enough to cement his place as a starter anyway. |

Brereton, Braithwaite and Traore. That attack wouldn’t look out of place at Burnley. |

He’s certainly making the most of his “talent”. Absolutely fair play to him. |

Why not he scores goals an they are lacking that atm Because he scores goals in the Championship and they need a player who will do it in the Champions League. Actually, they don't. They need better defenders. |

Great win for Chile in Bolivia last night to just about keep hanging in there. BBD played about 75 mins but should have been hooked before. Decent first half but the altitude got to him in the 2nd, he was absolutely fucked.

Decent first half but the altitude got to him in the 2nd, he was absolutely fucked. It was a good match on that pitch, water pools all over the place, 3-2 away is a great result for Chile. Brereton-Diaz had a good game but Alexis Sanchez was superb, a great free kick strike and his second was a tidy finish, could have been three, unlucky with another ambitious free kick that hit the bar. Bolivia made a game of it with two chances off the woodwork along with their two goals, a draw would probably have been a fair result. Chile need at least a point from their next game, Brazil away, very difficult and then a must win final home game against Uruguay could sneak them into a play off place. The group is so tight for the last two straight qualifying slots and the play off place. |

The group is so tight for the last two straight qualifying slots and the play off place. Yeah Alexis was incredible. He could barely breathe at the end, gave absolutely everything. Still doesn’t look good for Chile really but they’ve just about kept themselves in it. Never know. |
