I said so many times that not all Defour's issues were physical. The fact he has played weeks ahead of where he was supposed to be with Burnley just supports this. The bloke was a fraud and a wage thief. Sadly some people believe him to be the best player since McIlroy. Good fecking riddance to his...

Without Hart in the team and some are realising Hendrick isn't as bad as they thought , UTC posters are scratching around for a scapegoat. UTC posters like Taylor so Pieters is easy to dislike, I think that's how it works. The amount you constantly whinge about “UTC posters” it’s a wonder you conti...

Swizzlestick

He’s ok but Taylor back in as soon as he’s fit as he’s simply a better player.

Another naive attack on the Brexit Party. Let’s compare to the Lib Dems, my topic of the weekend. The BP candidates are more diverse than the Lib Dem’s. The BP have more business expertise (on average) than the Lib Dem’s. The BP are more centric than the Lib Dem’s (on a libertarian / authoritarian ...

Yep, difficult to somehow out-crank Ringo, but he’s giving it a damned good go. Just needs to do a few radio phone ins.

What else was he going to say? He’s played the diplomatic line because that’s the only one one he could play. Fact is, a player whose wages we’re paying a hefty proportion of, is out for a number of weeks, and that’s before getting back to match fitness levels. All because he couldn’t resist hitting...

Your not wrong, loads of Eastern European’s coming to Burnley . I worked a local fishing club, they already killed a fish we paid £1000 for to try to help the people of Burnley go fishing.. It’s a big help for some people. Those people from abroad just kill what we try to improve. The mask slips ev...

E-cigs helped me quit proper cigarettes. Then weaned down to being totally nicotine free. When used properly, they can be a very effective stop smoking aid.

Probably the first time I’ve ever disagreed with you. A good run.

Swizzlestick

How does having a night out and then getting jumped by a gang of 6 show disrespect to the club. It sounds like those who don’t want him are victim blaming to push their agenda. He didn’t get jumped for no reason. This also needs to be allied with previous behaviour, notably the drink drive convicti...

He’s a dreadful pundit. Provides no tactical analysis whatsoever. Just tries to say a few controversial things to keep up the persona.

This absolutely. The old Longside was were you met your mates on matchday - some of them were simply football mates who you never saw socially, and as you say you could 'mingle' and find who you wanted to be with. The old concrete and metal giant terrace was an absolute din on a good day and that w...

This board is getting beyond a joke now. the low marks and comments are ridiculous. we were playing the European champions for gods sake. do you not get that.

The score line was pretty much spot on. We posed little to no threat and they had an element of control throughout the game.

Some wallopers earlier in this thread. A special player who took us to another level. Suffered with injuries and looks like there’s personal issues hence the return home. He also lost his father recently too which must have affected things. Decision is for the best all round but he was so good for u...

In the league preview mag in Four Four Two, the Fleetwood fan said Marney was the player they’d most like to drive away from the club. Apparently been poor.

Some big goals there but the one I remember for the sheer, visceral noise was Keane against Boro. Never heard anything like it.

Let’s have it right - our opener which should have been against some backwater minnow ended up being Aberdeen. Next round against a team that could (and should) have been Turkish champions, then final round Olympiakos, who have loads of European experience. Wolves have played some team from Northern...

Penny’s finally beginning to drop for a few more with him I see. Needs to be moved on ASAP.

Swizzlestick

Got pelters on here for suggesting he’s going to need a hell of a lot of catching up to do to be ready. He’s barely played first team football and keeping yourself fit/playing some reserve games is not the same thing. Plus, now we’re out of the cup, it limits first team opportunities as he’s not dis...

I know Ed Sheeran criticism is like shooting fish in a barrel, and he’s hardly going to care what I think as he sleeps in his bed made out of 10,000 carat diamonds, but the ‘rapping’ he contributes to that latest track with Stormzy is utterly risible.

Not sure what he did at Boro has to do with his record at Stoke?? He was potted at Stoke because his tactics became stale and the relentless grinding football was just too much. This was evidenced in his most recent managerial stint at Boro, so it has a lot to do with it. Stoke are where they are b...

Wonder how many Stoke fans who demanded a change in playing style are regretting it now!? Considering the way Pulis has vacuumed all the spirit out of Boro, they’re probably mindful that it’s more down to poor recruitment rather than actually having the temerity to see their team trying to play foo...

Superb assist for the goal. Classic Trippier cross.

How many chances are they going to give to Benteke? A striker that can’t score usually isn’t the way forward. And Wickham as backup... Amazed they didn’t try to remedy that area.

On both BT and MOTD Dyche made reference to players that dive/ falling over, I didn't understand why he felt the need to bring that up at this point, I don't recall many Arsenal players falling over or diving.

I’d go to that if I was still local. Very talented player but too much of a playboy lifestyle. Bet he has some good tales - maybe with some embellishments, but that’s par for course at these type of things.
