In my defence, I've never listened to anything by Billy Joel unless it happened to be on the radio. I'm sorta disappointed to think we have to share a song title with him, bit of a 'fake hoops type of scenario, though admittedly, they share the same theme, addiction. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_Jack_%28Billy_Joel_song%29
...will include the Burnley (a) fixture. Haven't been to Turf Moor for well over forty years, so rather looking forward to it. Difference this go round is I'll be in travelling from Liverpool, which I presume means over to Preston(?) and then on from there. Anyone familiar with transport in that region got tips on travel?

I drive a lot, loads of very pleasant memories, but three stick in my head...
1/ Memorial Drive in Cambridge, Massachusetts, from just north of Harvard down to the Science Museum. Drive it 4/5 times a week, whatever the season, it's lovely to look out over the river and downtown Boston. 2/California's route 1. No explanation required. 3/ Driving north from Dunoon in Scotland, heading up to Fort William, what a wonderful part of the country.
...watching 'Our Leaders' post match interview and I was struck by the grounds crew running lawn mowers over the surface of a just played on pitch. What's that all about, shouldn't it be rollers first, leave the grass for a day or two then?
