Ah sorry thought you meant the new chairman

Yeah i think Bill was referring to Garlick. He got on well with Pace, who is quite personable and no doubt the brand new contract helped.

Swizzlestick

Was never aware of any issue with the chairman. I was always quite surprised at how well they seemed to get on. There were widespread reports of a serious breakdown in relations as 2020 wore on. He was openly critical about the lack of progress re player contracts (and no doubt critical behind the ...

This Everton side are better than most of Dyche’s Burnley sides. Particularly in central midfield and upfront with Calvert Lewin. This thread is abusing them but they will stay up easily. They just aren’t pretty. Dyche has done well with the resources at his disposal. This league is brutal. Stay up...

Swizzlestick

You know things are not going well when Dyche goes for triple sub at HT. Worrying one for him this game as these are the type of teams he’d usually relish playing - obviously Palmer is on fire but there’s been a lot of naive performances from that Chelsea team this season and he’d be looking to make...

Swizzlestick

There was a clip of Pickford after the last Euros where he went back home to see his family etc and he came across as a very grounded, down to earth lad. He’s a moaner on the pitch and a bit of a character but I think the game needs a bit of that.

Swizzlestick

Didn’t Gyokeres turn down West Ham? Moyes watched him repeatedly. I get the annoyance over missing out on transfers but there has to be an element of realism.

Swizzlestick

"Michael owed me that goal today – I’ll leave it at that, for why" - interesting quote from their manager.

Interesting that James Anderson doesn't make the list of 98!

He’s in the separate sportsperson category at the top. I imagine the others are ‘miscellaneous’.

Swizzlestick

Doesn’t Howe like to play quite a possession based style? Pope played the way he did here because he was told to. Excellent players are often pretty adaptable, which is what Pope is. I’m not saying his distribution is necessarily as good as Muric, but he certainly has enough about him to play out.

I haven't looked at the 'rate the players' thread, but not surprisingly Ekdal looked very rusty yesterday. The further away he is from our goal, the more confident he looks, but for a defender, I'm not sure that is a great recommendation.

I thought Ekdal played very well yesterday.

Crazy scenes. What an atmosphere though!

Unbelievable. Looks incredible. What a season.

Swizzlestick

Looks really dangerous at the front of that stand behind the goal in the Leverkusen game.

Werder Bremen remind me of us. Decent on the ball but incredibly naive and can’t defend for toffee.

I wonder if there is a list anywhere of famous people born in Burnley ? Not just from sport List on Wikipedia (so usual caveats apply) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:People_from_Burnley Elektra Fence, who appeared on the 2021 series of Ru Paul’s Drag Race is Burnley born and bred, who knew

Swizzlestick

Looked a penalty in live action and it’s a penalty on the repeat viewing. We’ve been poor this season and very much the architects of our own downfall in a lot of ways but my god we’ve had some shite decisions

Swizzlestick

We will not finish above Forest and we will be in the bottom three.

Swizzlestick

Spent more time having a go at us, the town and Jay rather than actually supporting their own team.

Swizzlestick

Muric 4 - argh! Horrific error has cost us the game. He did pretty well otherwise but it's done us. Assignon 6 - does something great, followed by something abysmal. Won't be losing sleep if we don't sign him. Ekdal 8 - thought he was excellent, very commanding, and dealt with their threat well, as ...

Swizzlestick

Huge, costly error but he’s still the better of the two keepers. I mean, there’s Vigouroux too but it would be a bit of a curveball to throw him in.

Swizzlestick

Much love and positive thoughts to you Roper. Keep on keeping on, there’s plenty of life in the old dog yet.

Swizzlestick

There's definitely only one pstotto. Hope he's alright. He was having some housing issues last time round.

Unfortunately, all his youtube videos appear to have been deleted too.

Swizzlestick

One was a resident of the North East.

Swizzlestick

He basically got away with it because he hired the best lawyer money could buy (Kim Kardashian’s dad) who capitalised on a lot of ill feeling towards the police at the time.

Swizzlestick

I wasn’t. Very good player who would have improved us immeasurably. Mistake or not tonight, there’s a reason he’s playing in UCL quarter final against Atletico Madrid.

Swizzlestick

Could do with a Birmingham equaliser to really turn the heat up on them.

Leeds away next…they’re right in it.

He got lucky with us into Europe

I think our comedy ineptitude is keeping him in a job somewhat ironically - a couple of gifted wins is all they really have to show recently. They've otherwise been pretty shocking.

I've just had my cancellation confirmation email which I'm actually quite upset about. But our gas and electric contract came to and end, increasing our direct debit by £100 and childcare costs have gone up substantially too, so something had to give :-( Really gutted. Sorry to hear Fretters. I've ...

We youngsters. My mother's first year was 1947-48, though not with a season ticket. Unfortunately she isn't fit enough to sit out in the cold any more, so we have hospitality seats in the Longside - unlike a previous poster, we have always found the service to be good (apart from the half time tea ...

Swizzlestick

What an absolute farce.

Swizzlestick

I don’t think it’s a ‘fishy’ deal for what it’s worth. We evidently wanted a keeper and it was clear that first choice was Verbruggen. When Brighton nipped in it looks like we’ve maybe panicked a bit and gone all in on Trafford. I say panicked because it doesn’t seem like a whole lot of due diligenc...

Swizzlestick

We did need a top quality goalkeeper. Of the two we had last year, Muric and Peacock-Farrell, it was clear Peackock-Farrell was not god enough and Muric was questionable because of his style of play and inexperience. Vigouroux was clearly brought in as a number three (replacing Will Norris). Of cou...

Zaroury, Obafemi and Twine have all been given loan opportu...

Swizzlestick

The complete ostracising from the first team leads me to think there’s an appearance level that needs to be triggered in order for the transfer to go through. I haven’t got a clue though. It might just be that he’s nowhere near.

Is he Norways captain? Are you sure?

I am sure.

Martin Odegaard will indeed not be here. Which is a shame.

Swizzlestick

I do think they’ll be interest in Berge. Most Blades were saying he’s inconsistent and a ‘1 in 5 player’ but I don’t think he’s been like that at all. If anything, he’s been more consistent than most. I don’t see what a lot see in Odobert - maybe a punt for a lower league PL club but can’t see offer...

Swizzlestick

He’s a world class striker and is obviously the first name on the team sheet. He’s not just a goal scorer - his link up play is fantastic. Bayern’s failings are very much not down to him.

Swizzlestick

Well we know where we’re going, but we don’t know where we’ve been…

And the re the goal, I’ve wanted Muric in for a while, but it’s a huge mistake. He’s not the only one, but surely a bit of ‘game management’ has to come in and see it out until half time - sadly lacking again. The number of goals conceded just before half time this year has been criminal.

Swizzlestick

Not sure why it’s so astonishing? Do we really think after one of the most successful managers in our history he won’t have left an affect on the squad. I might be wrong but it’s genuinely my opinion that a large portion of last seasons success is because of his imprint. The experience VK inherited...

Swizzlestick

I do genuinely believe that last season was purely down to the ethos Dyche has imbedded in the key players in the squad. This next season will be a true indicator. It may sound harsh but I honestly couldn’t care less if we win every single game. He’s not a manager I want anywhere near this club Ast...

Swizzlestick

Was just about to make the same point as aggi. You may as well do it - worst case scenario nothing happens or, more likely due to the awful standard of officiating, you get the decision. It’s a mess.

Swizzlestick

Most Everton fans on the forum want Doucoure dropped.

Swizzlestick

If we avoid stupid fouls and giving away silly corners, we can get a result, but I don't think we'll avoid doing that tbh. No early goals conceded - Everton will be expecting a win and the longer it goes without them scoring the longer the crowd will start getting on them.

Different styles but I like both on commentary, tbh.

Fofana got through a lot of running? We didn't watch the same game then. I though he was a disgrace for the last 20 minutes walking around. How is a young footballer that unfit? Foster was also knackered but he'd worked his nads off and was coming off the back of an injury. Fofana had no such excus...

He looked desperate to book one of ours for time wasting as soon as we scored. Didn't seem quite so keen when it was them. The free kick that they had to take three times either side of that little **** number 8 kicking it away to the keeper really took the ****. Yep, we noticed that. Straight up t...
