City played an almost unrecognisable XI last week but finished with the likes of Sterling De- Bruyne et al. We’ll field same lot as Millwall I’d imagine . We’ve a fair shout compared to “ normal “ imo

AlargeClaret

Is it now genuinely looking like the Tarky deal is almost over the line ? Presuming the delay is ourselves sort of arranging short term finance bridging so we can still sign our targets if this one runs to the wire . Pretty gutted we’re likely to lose him but 40m is no bad fee

AlargeClaret

We were poor but they were bloody awful , Pope didn’t have a single save to make . They lacked in almost every dept and with a very talented set of players too . Not forgetting were stripped to our literal barebones ,I’d have them as relegation mix without a doubt .

Does anyone really care ? Some long forgotten ex loan player . Never quite get the misty eyed whimsy that some have for meaningless ex big part players

AlargeClaret

Would be a cracking signing , and in the (surely unlikely event of Tarky staying ) we could be a really serious outfit once the injured are back

AlargeClaret

Keeping Tarky would be huge , adding the speed and trickery of Wilson and back up of Stevens /Dawson would excellent imo

Anyone who proposed moving us from The Turf would be making their first, probably biggest and possibly terminal mistake. An out of town, concrete bowl just off the motorway seating 30,000, but with 19,000 seats filled, with nobody drinking in local pubs or using the town centre facilities would be ...

Old Jackie was rumoured to be “ well over a 100” so a damn fine innings either way

AlargeClaret

I’d imagine with an ever fast moving scenario on the virus and it’s “ progress” of course things will be up and down like BoJo’s arsee after a few red wines with Carrie

AlargeClaret

Very much a work in progress and imo a real talent . He’s never exactly pulled up trees for us but he has a bit of something special . Put a few decent players round him and he’ll thrive alright

AlargeClaret

Not sure I agree with that seeing as it's the same hand that every other world leader has been dealt. He will be judged relative to them. Quite correct and with the odd noble exception they’re all having a pretty torrid time of it .I was referring to British politics as such. I don’t think any part...

AlargeClaret

Oh gawd not another political thread ...AndrewJB will be along soon with his party manifesto ...

Re:Boris , no feelings either way but he’s been dealt possibly the worse hand in political history

AlargeClaret

He’s surely our 4th choice striker now though ? though possibly in front of Vydra? Great to gave him back in the mix though .

AlargeClaret

Just keeping Tarky and getting the rest fit would be enough for me with maybe a RB if one position needed

Given we are down to the bare bones. What is your starting eleven against millwall?

Peacock Farrell
Lowton, Long, Tarks, Glennon
Pieters, benson, Bownhill, McNeil
Vydra, Thompson

That’s a relatively tidy champ side probs give us a shout in the game

AlargeClaret

Brady looked like he’d cracked a rib . Anyone whose ever done that knows it’s almost impossible to more without serious discomfort nevermind play elite football

AlargeClaret

It was indeed Pope , suprised we didn’t get a BBC apology tbh

AlargeClaret

We’re agonisingly thin on the ground , but we’re Burnley so I’d expect a real fight ,backs to the wall , no quarter given display . These ain’t quitters

AlargeClaret

Rumoured to have been seen in Greggs this morning

Joking aside he’s a high quality player far in excess of anything we currently have including his salary !

AlargeClaret

There are a number of things to consider here and I am not denying that Dyche appears frustrated Dyche and the players front up to the media because they contractually obliged to under the terms of the broadcast deals Dyche knows all the issues: contracts; squad size/age; injuries; transfer window ...

AlargeClaret

While we all hope JBG’s injury isn’t too serious ,it does highlight out threadbare squad ,where a couple of injuries could be catastrophic . I’m staggered the board haven’t approved money for a quality RB ,even with our budget restrictions and uncertain times it seems almost bizzare .Though it must ...

I'll be honest, I didn't know she was a lesbian, as she didn't seem to mind when Bear Grylls gave her a bit of brutal rectal rehydration.

Do keep up Frank rectal hydration is the new black, everyone’s into it

AlargeClaret

Was there really any fuss 20 odd yrs ago when the always popular Barker replaced Coleman ? The BBC is so crippled with political correctness they were always going to replace the 3 with 1 x female /1 x black / 1 x white ( either sex ) Scott being a female black lesbian seems boxes are ticked already...

There's something you're missing out though, isn't there?

I think “ for an occasional presenter of a weekly highlights football show” was missing

AlargeClaret

It’s the old “ accident waiting to happen “ by the looks of it . What can’t be denied is we ARE threadbare , OUR best players could be sold and we have NO new incomings , There ARE buyers d1cking around AND Dyche and Garlick are hardly “ close” . A recipe for disaster for many media scribes with pen...

She’s certainly not the worst female presenter /DJ by a long stretch ,always seems a safe pair of hands type in her field . Though she’s middle aged white and hetro which pegs her bag in a female presenters league dominated by a and hatchet faced haradians like Balding and Sue Perkins

Gary presents a dilemma to the BBC as on one hand he’s a middle aged heterosexual white male and he’s Jewish ( yikes) and king of “ super injunctions” but on the other he’s a bleeding heart remainer narcissist liberal asylum seeker landlord whose v good at his job . Verdict -keep him but dock his pa...

Quite possibly - he's the only comedian of that type I've seen live though. My friend bought tickets to see Roy Chubby Brown in Oswaldtwistle with the rose-tinted specs of watching his old VHS tapes as a young teenager. We'd share the video around the class of Chubs performing stage saying words li...

Positive news as Tarks starting (even more so without Mee) is essential imo .

However try playing the Dyche clip backwards at 33rpm and it’s sounds like “ if he goes he goes , Garlick’s a Cnut anyway who yet again won’t back me to replace any that leave and nearly chinned him again this morning”...

Quite a good stand up in his day and a family tv mainstay for donkeys years . Made and lost a few fortunes too . pretty sure he can still pull in good crowds ( in normal times) if that’s your thing . Not really someone you’d want using your bog though .

Yet another “ circle jerk thread” for swivel eyed remainers unable to accept either the result or the posturing of the EU.

AlargeClaret

This can’t be true surely ?? Thought league cup got something like 2nd round qualifying ? While I think the Europa is decent and gets good crowds ( pre C19) and gives real buzz for smaller clubs ,a Europa conference league JUST to qualify seems preposterous . Unless this is replacing qualifying roun...

Who are the “Hendrick haters “ ?? I’ve never seen or heard them on the match and never on here ?

Barely watch QOS these days ,it’s a long time since it was essential viewing . Though as Cliff Richard’s ex wife Sue Barker nears her 80th birthday surely time to let go ? I don’t see people “ terrified “ of diversity though ? And would having a black as a team leader be an issue for anyone ? I’d sa...

Cracking race today ,Hamilton masterclass, but in the merc so it should be . Worth it alone though to watch Kimi wringing the neck of the dreadful Alpha only to be greeted with a 5 sec pen ...”WHAT!!”

AlargeClaret

Good on him he’s a decent player though 100+ posts about an ex player ? I never ever did witness the so called “ Hendrick haters “ either here or on turf though it appears the excitement of his goal has brought multiple colostomy bags to bursting point

AlargeClaret

Very similar to our own pre season when we had to sign Hart, can’t blame Villa for needing a top keeper band Heats injury will cost him like sadly they so often have

AlargeClaret

Move on and find another club , if he’s decent quality he’ll walk into most u11 grass roots teams . Though “ didn’t want to go” Is a very worrying thingre: training . Things get a lot more feisty in u12 onwards ,so probs needs to enjoy a good u11 season and if he’s not fully committed it will pan ou...

Nothing to see here tbf , SD knows it’s a unique situation at Burnley though he also knows he needs money to take the next step .

He will be shown as a mercenary if he takes the big wage increase that will go with any increased bid to Burnley's satisfaction that West Ham may be stupid enough to make . Many of our fans are already dubious about the way he left Brentford so let's wait to see if that increased bid arrives. What ...

AlargeClaret

That’s a good XI in fact our “ everyone stays “ XI if Mee and a good right wing back were there we could be a VERY good unit indeed imo

AlargeClaret

I take my coffee black...like my b1tches

AlargeClaret

I think Dyche would likely go for an older highly experienced type for Tarks initial replacement . I hope he stays but the 30m plus add ons and no doubt big salary jump will likely push this one over the line .

We need a quality right winger more than a right back.

Yes you’re probs right ,though a quality bona fida wing back would likely be as effective .

Jesus wept! When Merson is the most incisive and articulate panel member you know you’re in deep sh1t! Morrison is just horrendous

For me we desperately need a quality RB/wing back in the mould of Taylor and or a true right sided quickie

I hear that, but these aren’t 2x run of the mill young lads out for a pint and up for a bit of rumpy pumpy. They are supposed to be in a bubble.
