Alas it appears she’s purchased a ticket for the Newcastle game and was described as “ bubbly and looking forward to performing “…

Was there really any booing at all when the players took the knee ? All I heard JHL was brief almost apologetic clapping . I’d no idea this was still a thing . I don’t agree but would never boo the gesture .

8/9 teams still in the relegation battle , B@stards only 3 points clear and what looks a horrific run in , inc Leicester , Leeds , Cov and a 6 pointer vs brum.

One of the best athletes of all time; wealthy beyond wealthy; good looking; a beautiful, successful wife.

And a Claret.

Some guys have all the luck.

Me and lad both renewed . Been on since he was 6 , he’ll be 17 next season .1st game 2-0 v Preston he’s been addicted ever since . When he was 7 he came home from school and said kids were incredulously asking him “ why do you support Burnley and not Man Utd /Liverpool ? “ his reply ( even at 7) was...

Collins and Rolls Royce do not belong in the same sentence.

Pretty good on the ball , but he does maybe have too many mistakes in him.

AlargeClaret

He’ll be a v good champ defender , if we keep Beyer, Taylor, & Muric ( unlikely but still ) we’d have a cracking back line . He’s a very decent CB , but no hint of Rolls Royce like a Keane or Collins , but does the basics very well, taste for goals and can pick a pass . It’s his short game which is ...

She’s evidently been in training camp since Xmas , throat oiled , outfit chosen , ready supply of high calorie, high carb comestibles . However she cannot be granted entry until at least May 4th.

AlargeClaret

Remarkable though it may seem , technically we’ve still got a low /moderate chance of staying up ,with 18pts to play for and a true 6 ptr last game of season . BHA at home next up, Sheff Utd after that . We don’t deserve it ,but here we are with the aforementioned Fat Lady being refused admission ne...

The most amusing thing in the thread is the apparent rage of some ,that the trend in double barrel names is a “ working class “ thing . Using a name often a surname as the “ Christian” name has been a thing for 20+ yrs easily . I’d have thought these champions of the lower orders would be aware of t...

If it's bullshit, why do 90% of Chelsea fans think it was a wrong call. I try not to get embroiled in differing opinions on here, but you have to be on a wind up if you think that was a foul. I didn’t realise you had access to “ 90% of Chelsea fans “ ? Though I stand corrected. It was a fairly soft...

AlargeClaret

Absolute b0ll0x. The first touch from Mudryks knee goes to Assignons’ right. Mudryks is to his left and legally Assignon holds his ground. Players do that all the time with impunity. If you really can’t see why , both in real time and VAR why it was given by the ref and VAR , it’s more about claret...

AlargeClaret

You suggest Assignon should have just vanished when the attacker cut across his path; the only option given the momentum he was travelling at. For me the hand looping over his shoulder was the only questionable part of the whole thing… it is clear there was no pull by the movement of the players… o...

AlargeClaret

Me thinks referees want to get it wrong. He clearly played it too heavy, onto the wrong side of Assignon, he had to cut across him to try and retrieve it, what's Assignon supposed to do, get out of his way. All he did was stay strong and shield the ball. Even on Chelsea forum they said it was never...

The Wolves game biggest by a mile , a win will really mean it’s on .

AlargeClaret

Muric 9- masterclass and those throws ! Assignon 5- sent off , shoddy challenges x 2 Vitinho 4- horrific , the 2 footed tackle was favellas level Esteve 8- strong in the air , finding his feet O Shea 7+ 1 for goal - no aerial duels Cullen 8- kept it going , never stopped running Berge 7 - strong and...

AlargeClaret

Muric was superb and his mate mega throws to Jay were great to see , not sure if he’d injured himself . Great sweeping too

AlargeClaret

The old guard really stood up to be counted today with Jay/Brownhill/ Taylor/JBG on the pitch . True ,other players showed real fight in defence ,and oddly the starting XI had they stayed intact maybe well have been beaten . Main thing is the lift for the players and some belief . Could be a crackin...

AlargeClaret

Jay’s header was superb beat the keeper underside of bar , though even prime Jay would have been lucky to get that rebound

AlargeClaret

Taylor was superb , working with Brownhill and Steve in the 2nd half really nullified their right side .

AlargeClaret

To say dropping Taylor for Vitinho is a bizarre tactical decision would be a huge understatement, Taylor is miles away a better defender than Vit and has been one of our best players , and against a side like Chelsea .Maybe CT has a knock ? Which would explain it easily enough though

AlargeClaret

Moany, Dyche , Defour and I presume Steve Stone ?

In any WW3, there’s only one winner and it isn’t Russia. Europe and the US are giving their scraps to Ukraine. Literally giving them tiny percentages of their military budgets and their old end-of-life equipment. Underlines by them receiving F16’s from the 70’s/80’s. At a headline level they’re man...

Putin raging about the “ new” F-16’s which UKR will soon have in service . Not about the actual planes but he’s stating any non UKR take off for these planes on missions would class said country as a “ target” . He’s actually got a reasonable point tbf .

Who in their right mind travels with an out of date passport ?? I notice they always seem to be going to France, as opposed to say using your out of date passport in China, US, AUS, Asia, Africa or almost anywhere else in the world . Considering we left the EU 4 yrs ago it seems quite bizarre the bb...

The main thing is getting back what we paid for him , I think around 12-15m? Doubt he’ll get prem interest , but a decent euros could ramp up his value nicely. Bit of a show pony and not comfortable in our side but can imagine him getting a decent ish Bundesliga gig

AlargeClaret

I really don't see where some people see potential, I can't. All aspects of he's game are weak, I've tried to see positives but there are seriously none there imo, the only thing I see is that he's reflexes are quite good most of the time, but it's not always consistent. Maybe it will change in a y...

Just had a look at a few of Barton’s recent tweets , he does indeed seem to be going totally mental . He’s reduced to calling the women’s game “ lesbo ball “ etc . He’s gone from “ man down the pub “ banter to almost Tourette’s like scattergun abuse at anything female . This isn’t a grift it’s a ful...

AlargeClaret

Top drawer is pushing it even for a fan of his. I thought he was a good leader for us and a decent player but dreadful on his return in the Prem. Nowhere near the quality of Cork or defour. What bizarre comments? Barton was a quality much sought after prem footballer , hardly “ bang average “ If he...

I think we’re gonna see more and more of these long range “ super target “ strikes from both sides . This is when NATO combined intelligence really trumps Russia . While we don’t hear much about RUS strikes , it’s clear they’ve also been looking for infrastructure hits like the oil refineries UKR ha...

But why compare women’s football to the men’s game? It’s 2 different games. It’s like comparing an under 14s game on Towneley and criticising a young kid That’s very very true . Many sports like athletics , tennis , swimming , cycling ,the disadvantage is simply muscle mass /power ratio etc . But w...

AlargeClaret

No one can argue with JB that women’s football is very poor compared to the men’s game and especially the keepers . Though I think he’s flogging it a bit now and it’s become a grift . It’s a shame, he could have been a good manager or at least a mildly controversial successful pundit in the game . T...

Brilliant news for Traff , sure , he’s a couple of yrs off being a top prem keeper , but if you know you know . Well done to him.

Have they a well funded new owner? Usually the conference needs some very decent money to ride that season out . Usually “ how much” depends if it’s a promotion challenge or a struggle in div 2 . Good to see them get back up though .

I think the OP is discussing the “ worst season “ on a relative basis . It’s plain daft to compare a 3/4th div season v prem based on quality of players etc . Though even the most deluded VK superfans who talk about “ squad age “ and “ learning “ would be hard pushed to not class this season ( thus ...

Forest must be laughing their t1ts off , surely even their most optimistic shout was -6 ? and they were every bit as bad as Everton if not worse , who, should really have had the -10 but for the “ prosecution” making a cock up .

It’s hard not to like the guy , he’s thrown himself full on into his investment and embraced the club . Perhaps gone a bit over enthusiastic on the Burnley cliches , but it’s ni bad thing

Were you listening to it on the radio? Which bit didn’t you agree with ? AM gave a perfectly decent prem keeper performance along with a very smart foul for the Toney goal . Id have saved the Trafford fee and started with AM as JT needs to develop , but that’s neither here nor there . Oh and JHL ha...

AlargeClaret

Sorry, but that's absolute b0llocks. Don’t let the facts of a perfectly decent and very solid show from Muric get in the way of your hero worship . I’d have started the season with him and believe the JT purchase was pointless . However there’s very little between the 2 former City no 3’s in actual...

Apart from a perfectly regular alround prem keeper performance I didn’t see anything to warrant the ludicrous eulogising , fawning and lickspittle in Muric’s direction . He was sound , couple of punches which JT would have been roasted over, only real save was the full offside one . His distribution...

We might as well play in flip flops , it pains me to say that there’s zero anticipation for the game and a resignation that we’ll probs be beaten however we play . Roll on next season when hopefully The Emperor has learnt his lesson on “ new clothes “

I'd be reluctant to rely too heavily on what Barton says about the person suing him while trying to cobble together legal fees tbh Barton’s a millionaire, though he may have to be if he goes the libel route , bearing in mind Vine & Aluko will likely be crowd funded and legal fees in libel cases are...
