If those defenders just had to play like we do and have narrow full backs and a wall of four deep midfielders sitting in front of them they would be able to defend in their sleep. It would be so easy for them they'd probably retire out of boredom and take up gardening or something to test themselve...

Defensively he really is an absolute beast. Immense in the air, outstanding in 1v1 situations when someone is running at him and he's deceptively very quick. Just needs to refine his technique when in possession, because too often some of his passes are beyond wayward. But to be honest, I think at l...

Max Aarons is a superb young right back but would be sadly out of reach for us.

However, Norwich happen to have another good right back who'd be well within range for us - Sam Byram.

If a lady friend hit me with a lamp (and believe me I've been close) I'd like to think I could deal with it without involving the police. What if it was the latest in a long series of physical punishments? What if, for whatever reason, you were scared of your lady friend and worried about what she'...

The suggestion that JBG has done nothing for 12 months is equally as stupid as the suggestion that Hendrick was rubbish yesterday.

I take it you've forgotten the wins against City and Liverpool at home and the draws away against those clubs. I know it doesn't fit you're argument, but don't try and change history If you read the entirety of my post you'll see that I've not forgotten anything. And I'm not arguing for, or against...

I've certainly had enough of it all at certain points within the season. For me, I've got absolutely no interest in seeing us play against Liverpool and Man City etc, watching teams walk all over us for 90 minutes because they're able to spend 10 and 20 times more than us in wages and fees. Of cours...

Quite amusing ksr, but I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I didn't vote for Boris. Living in Spain ( yes, in the EU using the Euro), I decided quite a while ago to stop voting in the UK elections, since I didn't think it would be fair. Thanks. And I'm sorry you didn't get the chance to vote for him. ...

The real issue is that no one actually voted Cummings into office in the first place. And to think that the whole premise of Brexit was to restore democracy and sovereignty. Who's going to be running the show for the next 5 years, and will the judiciary retain its independence? Worrying times (IMO)...

They've just discussed this on 5Live, Jon Walters is on there.
Needless to say Gibson is the victim.

Sorry didn't listen to it - what did they say?

Totally bizarre situation.

I've been wanting to see him get a proper run because he was excellent for Middlesbrough, but let's be honest here his attitude must really stink. What a thoroughly expensive debacle he's turned out to be.

Now Phillips is the one intriguing me. I'd never even heard of him, but he's gone out to Morcambe is receiving many plaudits and registering a few goals and assists.

Seems like we have a very decent crop of youngsters at the moment

Turned up to a Tuesday night game against Millwall years ago, only to find we were 1 down to a Jermaine Wright goal after about 10 seconds.

He did exactly the same against us at Elland Road the season before.

Another anti-Semitic gesture from Corbyn.

He should be talking about the things people want to hear, like letterboxes.

Aye other than being our leading scorer and a major part of getting promoted and then making a profit of £10m on him what did Andre Gray ever do for us ? Good riddance indeed ! No issues with his contributions on the field, really, as well you know TVC. But if you want to play the game I'll bite - ...

Thank Christ that swap deal never materialised.

I thought good riddance when he left, and I certainly wouldn't want to see him return.

I met Eddie Howe once at an AGM, and he was very friendly and amiable with me and everyone else there all night. Contrast that with Sean Dyche who is often very sarcastic with fans at such events when he’s had enough. Can’t comment on how nice they are to their staff though, which I am told is a sor...

Worth watching just to see the anger from the fans at some games and then the despair. We’ve all been through it. Also, Grayson would hardly inspire you if you were a footballer. Hasn’t he got 4 promotions on his CV? He mustn’t be that bad. As good as the documentary is, the editing is clearly done...

the other week when they came from 2-0 down at home to Millwall to win the game, I thought they'd be fine. They look very wobbly now, again, and they will surely be feeling the psychological burden of what happened last year from now to the finish line.

The problem with the idea of bringing Lennon on is twofold

a.) Lennon tends to be rubbish

b.) Hendrick was doing a sterling job of helping Lowton out as much as possible when the very dangerous Aubameyang was on the ball, whilst still offering options when we were attacking

You're confusing "disapproved of" and "opposed". If you don't like the result but you accept it, that's democracy. If you don't like the result so you work to see that the result is ignored, that is not democracy. It isn't possible to be a democrat if you won't accept a democratic vote. If you only...

Specifically what I am criticising is people who are opposed to democracy. I don't think that is ever pointless. They opposed the result of one democratic question, not democracy as a principle. I think it's worth trying to appreciate that small but not insignificant difference. I opposed the resul...

You can either let the "experts" decide, or you can have democracy. You can't have both. The only expert in the question "do you want to be in the EU" is the person filling in the voting slip. No expert can tell me what I want, no expert can tell you what you want. These people that don't like refe...

The point is, Benny, that a whole lot of former Remainers (who are of course no longer remainers, because there are no remainers now - though there might be some rejoiners) determine intelligence by which way they voted.

They are coming here in February with the same number of points as us. Make no mistake, this is an Arsenal side that can be beaten. Mikel Arteta has certainly made an impact, but some of their recent results point to definite vulnerabilities. I would expect the game to finish with each side taking a...

I'll be sad to see him go.

He's got four years worth of PL experience and has only just turned 28, can play well in a number of positions and pops up with some important goals. That sort of profile is worth it's weight in gold really for a club like us.

ksrclaret

Can’t say it particularly is for me. It can be mildly entertaining at best. I just find the idea that a transfer window can be boring to be comical. What happened before transfer windows? Did we describe whole seasons as boring because of a lack of transfer activity. Sky Sports have made an event o...

I find it bizarre that people are getting so excited by it. Treating it like a personal achievement or victory. It's totally nuts.

Not sure there will be a big summer rebuild? I can already imagine the disappointment from the folk who think we need to or will do We do have quite a number out of contract in the summer though, along with a couple who've not been playing at all and will surely move on. Doubt it will be a big summ...

Anyone suggesting that we’ve got no money doesn’t understand having a poker face and how to negotiate deals. The last thing we should be doing is saying to selling clubs what our budget actually is - all they’ll do is pull our pants down on any transfers I think that's quite harsh on Dyche. I'm sur...

I think it's been a pleasing window actually, but that's probably down to the very successful lowering of expectations by the club. To the extent where we're now suggesting we have to sell to buy. That's concerning because this summer we have a number of players (almost certainly) departing for noth...

See link for out of contract players. Out of those, I'd expect Westwood to stay and the others to move on.

In addition, players like Vydra and Gibson will surely be on the move too.

With the stream of negative noises coming out of the club this month, I didn't think we'd be signing anybody. So to have brought in Josh Brownhill on a good bit of business is pleasing and is more than I expected. This summer will have to be busier because we've got at least 5 players on their way o...

The thing about Twitter is that all Burnley's signings are revealed, or at least rumoured, in advance on Twitter. So are all the signings we don't get.

I'm amazed anyone gives that fat greasy crook a platform these days.

An alternative might be that fans are brainwashed to think the PL is the golden thread of football.
