So bored of the PL & the moneymen systematically ruining our great game.

CoolClaret

Yeah sure post your season ticket purchases and loyalty points, just screen shot them onto here. If it is individual games you attend can I pick say 20 random games this season and you will be able to provide these ? Lets start with Sheff Utd, Everton or Man Utd away these are recent ones, or the o...

Great result.

Would love Dortmund to win it now and see Ian Maatsen raise the trophy.

Bellingham needs to force himself into this game - for all his talent he's been a complete passenger.

Didn't Mellon have a pretty scary head injury?

Not much impetus and purpose of play on view against Everton. Just a single shot on target in a “must win” game.

Aye, was a bit poor... The only side we've played this season that played with an ultra low block and let us have the ball as well. The other games have been vastly different, imo.

CoolClaret

If we miraculously win 3 of our remaining games (one of which against Forest) then there's a chance.

CoolClaret

5 matches all against sides outside of the top 6 including a Wolves side missing Cunha and Neto and an Everton team that rarely scores more than once in a game. One that just pumped Everton for 6 as well. He's playing well, gives the team much more impetus/purpose of play and unfortunately has had ...

if you want to do nice things and spend money on luxuries, get a better paid job. if you dont want to do that, then dont moan you cant afford it. simples

Incredibly short sited, regressive view that takes absolutely zero nuance into account.

CoolClaret

I just had a quick browse of Bundesliga teams' ticket prices that in a similar position to us in their table.

You can literally buy a one off, adult ticket for an FC Köln game (the one here is against Eintracht Frankfurt) for €13. Of course we're being ripped off (not just us, all fans in England).

CoolClaret

yes, in response to someone quoting "£104" for a season ticket at Bayern. Keep up again, its not more expensive. An equivalent seating position at Bayern would either be €60 or €80 + €5 booking fee according to their price list. "allowing ourselves"? what do you suggest? you could always not buy on...

CoolClaret

Sit where the kids tickets are cheaper then? which successful teams in the North West are cheaper to watch than Burnley? the comparison with Bayern was brought by another poster. You brought up the seats at bayern being €50+5 euro, so I gave a like for like comparison for one off games in the North...

CoolClaret

the Germany analogy is over used, apart from a few standing tickets at Bayern, their ticket prices are a lot more expensive than ours. If you want a decent seat at a league game you're looking at €50 + €5 booking fee. Season tickets are €350 upwards. You can get some cheaper standing tickets, but a...

I don’t think you need experience of the Championship to do well in it. Look at our best players last season, they were all youngsters. I’ve said it many times, but if Jay wasn’t a local lad he’d have been shipped out years ago, and rightly so. Remove the sentiment and it’s a terrible signing (seco...

CoolClaret

Big rises at Forest, adult prices up a lot and concessions tightened like at many clubs. We still seem at the low end but football is pricing out ordinary fans more and more. Soon it will just be the fairly affluent middle classes who can afford it. https://nffctrust.org/statement-on-season-card-pr...

Can't see Grealish' current form with City merits a start, he'd be nowhere near my first 11. Look at how Pep uses him in the big games - like he did in the first leg against Real Madrid. He does a lot of good work under the radar - winning fouls, driving the team up the pitch from deep. You can't s...

Why do we need a government policy for something that's optional to engage with? If you want to donate, do it. If you don't, then don't. Surely you don't need a government policy to make that decision? Your retort is completely missing my point. It's not whether donating is optional (which it clear...

Might sound a bit harsh this but... Sorry Stephen but this is the life of a non-pro athlete. No one is asking you to keep playing as a semi-pro, loads of people have to give it up.

Grant Holt bagged 15 goals in the PL in 36 games at the end of his Prime, then 8 in 34, then spiralled to 2 goals in 16 in the Championship.

If Szmodics would've had this season at age 23/24 that'd be a different.

CoolClaret

Nah.

Reeks of a player that has his one top season when in his prime... I also never want to sign a player or do business directly with Blackburn; don't forget that ticketing fiasco last season for the away game - you know - the one where we won the League at Deadwood.

CoolClaret

Whatever Safegate does, he just cannot shoehorn them all in and play square pegs in round holes.

For me Grealish on the left is the perfect foil and will compliment the others spectacularly.

The big question is how you get Bellingham and Foden in the side together.

Even at the time, I saw lots of people calling that out for exactly what it was. A publicity stunt to court attention from the media.

I'm not one to pretend to be 'ITK' but I've heard that went down like a lead balloon. Hardly worked either has it?

I don't subscribe either but seem to be able to view the article for some reason. So you're just going to ignore expert professional opinion because it contradicts your own fairly archaic opinion?

That’s an interesting heat map. I’ll agree that even as a fan of VK I cannot understand his comments about his position in possession and I think when he says things like that it almost insults the fans who can see it’s not true. Do you have any heatmaps from earlier in the season when he was playi...

People are so entrenched in their goalkeeper views, that until we have a clear number 1, with a more than competent number 2, that will continue. In fairness to both our present keepers I think this is a hangover from Nick Pope. It started last season with unfair comparisons between Pope and Muric ...

Cullen can obviously play as a defensive midfielder in the Champ but I prefer him when he's slightly further forward and not necessarily the one taking the ball from the keeper/defenders. He's played some lovely balls forward recently - notably the one for Vitinho in which we got a penalty from at h...

Now to your point, I’m struggling when I read these threads (which should really just be about congratulating a great player for us), why we have to turn it in to a discussion about how BFC have made an error.

Agree - I didn't want to do that either.

CoolClaret

This should be good, let’s hear you back up your thoughts… Matt Williams on BBC Radio Lancs after the January Window was saying that Tella wanted to sign for Burnley - we just didn't meet Southampton's (admittedly inflated) valuation early on in the window and then Leverkusen came in for him.

By all accounts we did all we could to get him. Hardly a major error.

Not by all accounts at all.

Just like to give congratulations to Nathan Tella for winning the Bundesliga with Bayer Leverkusen in his first season in Germany.

One of my favourite players to don the famous Claret and Blue - he was simply fabulous for us last season.

All the best Nathan.

Good post, along with TsarBomba's comment I feel like you've both captured my sentiments.

It's a strange feeling.

I think it would be good to take Trafford out of the firing line. I also think it would help his development. Muric would start as No1. Cooper is excellent, and would provide a serious challenge to Muric. Fair enough - I remember Cooper being rated as a prospect a few years back, haven't seen his a...

That isn't bad technique. It's exactly what modern day players are being taught to do at the top level. https://twitter.com/TifoFootball_/status/1614925564925583365?s=19 That's different than taking a first touch with the studs; Muric does that to quickly 'tee' up the ball to deliver a rapid pass (...

Do you think Kompany signed Massengo as one for the future then? We haven’t seen much of the lad, but I hope like you that he can cut it in a Defensive midfield position next season. At least the lad didn’t cost us a small fortune unlike some of Kompany’s other players with potential. Come on Noah ...

I hadn’t heard Kompany’s comment about Foster being on the right. The players heat map will show that comment to be absolute nonsense.

You spelt agenda wrong The new buzzword that people like to use on here. FWIW I'd have Muric or Trafford over pretty much anyone we are likely to be able to sign once relegated.

4 minutes, thought it might have taken a bit longer. New keeper ends the pathetic infantile Trafford v Muric debate, think it’s the way forward. Too many on here (and their multiple users) have lost the plot over the GK position, it’s embarrassing. Buy a new keeper so that fans stop having an opini...

It seems like Brighton fans are being hypocritical (imagine my shock).

Rowls still going on about this is akin to the Japanese war veteran, Hiroo Onoda, that never surrendered after WWII had ended and was still hiding in the Philippines until the mid 70s.
