Looks very one-side so far, terrific atmosphere.
India will take some stopping in this World Cup I think.
Great balance for their team.

How sad. Saw him do a razor sharp stand-up routine at the grand’s Comedy Club last year - he was brilliant.

I’ve thought for a while that Newcastle was a likely destination for Sean, certainly relatively to anywhere else - but they’re experience with Allardyce years ago might work against his chances. I’m certainly sure he’d go if offered.

Just watched part 3, hard to believe there’s only one left.

Cubanclaret

Hopefully the last ‘all English’ CL Final we’ll see for a while. Really poor game.

Cubanclaret

Awful but Spurs haven’t led in any champions league game at half time thus far , weirdly.

Cubanclaret

Clitheroe beat Rochdale in a rain affected match reduced to 31 overs aside. Rochdale reduced to 91-8. Clitheroe scores 92-8 in a squeaky fanny finish.

The power struggle at Sheff Utd appears to have given WBA a sense of hope. Wilder is a canny manager and I’m sure he’ll be using the situation to his advantage, in ensuring a better outcome for his own terms and transfer kitty for the coming season. I would be absolutely astonished if he threw in th...

Cubanclaret

Villa will do well I think. The management have done very well since going in there. They are much improved from the side that fell short last season and their manager will bolster the team rather than do a ‘fulham’. Grealish, hourihane,McGinn, the two central defenders all look like they could do w...

I actually watched the Burnley fans at Derby after the Derby Cup defeat from the main stand. And stayed in there until the players re-emerged from the tunnel. There were a few Derby bods about fully appreciating our support. It was a very proud moment after a decade of strife. We were on our way bac...

A Rovers fan came with me and cheered the Clarets to the hilt. Shock, horror.

Cubanclaret

I think Meadows has reached new heights with this.
Peerless film-making. Not watched anything so emotionally engaging in along time.

Cubanclaret

Bring back ‘endsleigh’

The thought occurred to me earlier in the season that Bielsa was perhaps immune to the self-doubt that appears to engulf Leeds when they get into a position of promise.
But he looked at a loss at Brentford and last night looked almost close to tears.

Not overly arsed but I wanted Leeds to win.

Cubanclaret

I think there’s a few conveniently playing down Jay’s strengths for whatever reason. Jay can lead the line in a 4-5-1 with more finesse than either Barnes or Wood. He is generally a more versatile player and better footballer than both. I think he’d be a really good option but also believe it was al...

I like the fact Gayle has a monster throw-in in his armoury, bet Dyche has spotted that.

Cubanclaret

Grealish is a gifted player but his decision making wasn’t great tonight. You’d have expected Jay Rod, Gayle and Brunt to all be penalty takers. None of them on the pitch. But you never know.

Cubanclaret

Congrats Tall Paul...you stormed it...and the runner-up joe.
I finished 92nd overall once, but I’m a busted flush now, cant keep up with these young coaches ! Happy enough with 16th in the high standards of Up the Clarets world!

Cubanclaret

Could Eddie Howe be lured to that post ?

Already have the infrastructure in place that will take years to build at AFCB.

Cubanclaret

Wow. I wonder if they'll come for Dyche

Cubanclaret

He looked like a broken man after that shambles yesterday. United look set for a long period in the wilderness, whatever they choose to do.

Cubanclaret

The cameo on his debut was 8/10 - he definitely turned the game from a defeat to a draw. Since then, its not really worked and our tendency to just lump up those floaty balls is predictable and easy to read for the vast majority of centre halves at this level. It sounds like Southampton are in the h...

No prob

Why, is it against the rules Leisure? Happy to give the ticket away tbh, just hate the idea of empty seats.

Cubanclaret

I will have a spare ticket with me today that I purchased for full price in jimmy Mac Upper.
I’m happy to take £10 for it. If anyone wants it please email me at pluginpr@gmail.com - I will get back to the first taker and arrange to meet at gate no. 21 at 2.50pm.

Cubanclaret

As I understand it, this report is merely confirming the amount of games Bardsley played hit the target in his contract for an extension. That wouldn’t necessarily prevent him moving on if it’s an area Dyche looks to reshape? I think Bardsley has been a great pro, he’s clearly in great physical shap...

Such a shame Chelsea got through.

Chelsea. Wretched club.

He should have had an assist.

I've heard it suggested from a very credible source that our management team have not given up on Steven Defour, and saw him as the pivotal player during the best spell we had in the first half of last season. Question remains, can he get fit. Proper Burnley pre-seasons for the likes of him, Vydra, ...

Cubanclaret

Didn’t see a thread and I think they deserve one. My local team for 14 years so have a soft spot. 10 years since we sent them into a tailspin with the Wembley win, and now they have sealed their recovery to the top flight playing some excellent football under Chris Wilder. Wilder put his own job on ...

Certainly very unusual not to be awarded a yellow with such a momentum breaking foul. Looked like Barnes went down easily. But if it’s the other way about then it’s a yellow card.

Oh....and what Erasmus said....totally bob on, City’s ownership issue and the human rights abuses their state presides over is the story they don’t want you to hear, but should not be overlooked, the more you read into it, the more proud I’d be to help hand it to the scousers.

Cubanclaret

[quote="NottsClaret"] Once targets/bonuses are secured, it's all felt a bit pre-season friendly. Of course Man City are on a different level so it'll be hard to tell anyway. The higher we finish the more those bonuses will be surely. City have played 2 games a week for a good few weeks now...

Cubanclaret

That is incredible. It’s funny looking back because I do remember really believing that West Ham game was the most important in our recent history as it had that make-or-Break feel about it with the easier run of fixtures that followed it. To think we’ve had to be the 5th best in the league didn’t c...

Cubanclaret

You’d think United might be more irritated by the threat of City than Liverpool to be honest. I’m no Liverpool fan for a variety of reasons but all this ‘imagine the horror’ of Liverpool actually winning the league is highly neurotic. We had to live through United winning every year and we’ll no dou...

Cubanclaret

They might have observed how we didn’t use any substitutes, so wasted no unnecessary time.

Cubanclaret

Loved reading all those envious compliments. Haha.

Cubanclaret

Clitheroe beat Norden (12pts). Clitheroe scored 213 (for about 8) and Norden were bowled all out for 170-ish.

Cubanclaret

I’m sure he’ll get his chance next season, he’s very popular at Sheff United and Chris Wilder will not be buying a new side if they win promotion next month.

Cubanclaret

They might well give Spurs - minus Kane and Son -a bit of a hiding!

Cubanclaret

Bit of a lolz thread this one.

We’ve got a pretty decent recent record at Chelsea.
I think we’re fully capable of getting a point there.

Cubanclaret

McNeil has a knack of getting a yard and getting a ball in, which in turn makes a Wood look a much better player because he is a bit Payton like at sniffing out chances. Personally I think Wood and a quicker player like a Vydra would do even better feeding off McNeil. Let us not underestimate thoug...

Cubanclaret

Wasn't Jay Rod playing for Stirling Albion at this age? Dwight seems like a grounded lad, it feels like it has happened so quickly for him, but he's already had the let-down of being released (by Man United at 14), and Burnley have developed him since then. Surely that is worth something. The Club d...

Can anyone recommend the place at Read on Whalley Road? Went there once about 5 years ago and thought it was decent. It’s my wife’s birthday today and as she’s been so kind (more tolerating) me going to the game, the least I can do is provide a good nosh up after the match.

Cubanclaret

I think football owes Warnock admiration and I look forward to giving him a good reception tomorrow. I know he’s a bit Brexit and a two hat at times, but his record and longevity is unquestionable and I think he respects Burnley. His assistant Ronnie Jepson was out at High Moor last week checking ou...

The more financially astute on here might cast a different light on this, but could we not lure Tripps back with an upfront signing-on fee that makes up for a relatively lower monthly wage for the duration of his contract - hence, not putting our wage structure in jeopardy. We know exactly what we'r...
