I buy my football shirt because I support Burnley FC... I couldn't give a Rats @rse about the Sponsor. The Sponsor gives a sh*t load of money to sponsor BFC. Doesn't make me want to bet ....

I am with this. The amount of people that have stopped me in the street and told me they were now going to set up an account with the unknown betting site Lovebet is unbelievable. Thanks for the humorous contribution, but I object to it on principle, not because I am scared I will tempt others into...

Well done Fidel, lad, this thread has real potential.

Are the any posters in particular you're hoping to attract to do battle on this one?

ksrclaret

We did look organised, but conceding twice from a set piece and a cheap give away in midfield was disappointing. I absolutely loved the high pressed we put on though. That showed some real bravery to go away to Arsenal and press them so high up, on the edge of their box. From memory we were only cau...

Happened to Wolves, now City. It’ll happen to us and everyone else over the season. So every goal celebration by March / April will be a muted cheer and then a couple of minutes waiting for the big screen to give us the opinion that counts. Loads of people like this, which is fine but more than lik...

Are you being ironic, or do you mean something completely different in your post on the thread below (#165)? Personally, I fail to see what difference there would have been in the result had Tom Heaton have been playing and why anyone would feel the need to comment thus? http://www.uptheclarets.com...

Hear, hear.

Incredible to start comparing which keeper would have saved which shot

You can’t really compare like that

Mindless thuggery from Barnes at the end

A very good performance otherwise in which we deserved to get something

Why are you so surprised?

I’d have thought it would be easy to guess based on my previous posts on this thread

Yeah good save as I’ve said further up

I just think Heaton is better mate

Good save there

All outfield players have been very good today and they deserve to get something from this game

Just awful. I cannot believe we let Heaton go in favour of playing Pope

The first of many goals in which we will regret letting Heaton go

Heaton would have saved that

Lots of reports that Siewert has gone after that

Oh I've had plenty of fry ups, but if I'm having one I reserve it for match days only, and it's usually around 11 by the time I'm tucking into one.

Will have to be earlier one tomorrow though or I'll miss the game

ksrclaret

Never have breakfast and haven't for as long as I can remember. First time I eat something during the day is usually a banana at break time.

From what I remember of them though though, corn flakes are just a soggy bowl of sugar.

I've not bought a football shirt in about 10 years, but I'd 100% have bought one of those if it wasn't for the betting logo. I refuse to willingly advertise for a betting company.

I might pop in though and ask if I can have one without the sponsor. Doubt it will be possible but you never know

ksrclaret

I love how Mike Garlick surfaces not long after each transfer window has closed to tell us about the bids we made that weren't successful.

ksrclaret

I should think this would be an attractive proposition for both the player and the Club. Providing they can meet his wage demands and providing he would pass even the most basic of medicals. He's out of contract next summer, and if we have any sense at all, we will not be looking to extend his contr...

Okay, well I tried to get you involved in the debate. If simply sniping at everyone else and makes you happy then you crack on, 'love'.

Odd to comment on a thread if you have no intention of adding any of your own contributions to the topic.

It's not very fair to constantly have a go at other's people contributions when you're not prepared to offer any yourself.

Do you have anything to add in terms of the topic?

Nothing wrong with Calum Chambers. He's a decent Premier League player.

Tarkowski is the better defender but Chambers is the better distributor.

ksrclaret

An important player for us in 2013/14 on loan. We started the season with Wallace and Stanislas out wide, but as soon as Kightly and Arfield replaced them we suddenly looked so balanced and we never looked back.

Hope he finds an enjoyable second career.

ksrclaret

From what I've seen of him I'd say it's that he's not good enough. A couple of decent cameos and a good performance against Huddersfield but nothing much else. Nahki Wells clearly wasn't good enough. Yet he was often found on the bench alongside another striker. For Vydra to not even make the 18 an...

It needs resolving before the window shuts for foreign teams at the end of August. It's not good for the team to have a player with them who everyone knows isn't liked by the manager for whatever reason. It must create an awkwardness on the training ground and in the dressing room. I do feel despera...

Looks like you jinxed it. You were spot on until post #13.

Excellent post. If the transfer window gone by tells us anything, it's that (generally) we can no longer afford to sign players who will improve the starting 11 immediately. That means we must start to sign players who have great potential, but aren't there yet. Now, that's going to be incredibly ha...

A lot might come down to Hendrick himself. Is he happy as a squad man? As a jack of all trades who's asked to fill in anywhere but the position he grew up playing, and probably considers his favoured position? If he wants to be playing in the centre of midfield, he'll have seen our attempts to stren...

What a shame that some on here can't wait to stick the boot in on Lampard. Here we have a young English coach who tries to play football the right way, who puts his faith in youth and in developing players, who got a basket case club in Derby to a Championship play off final in his very first year i...

Anyone notice how Ashley ran straight to Eric after his second goal mouthing something along the lines of “Ive been waiting a while for a cross like that from the left”. I’ve never seen Ashley (but stand to be corrected) purposely run to the provider before to celebrate as he did for that goal. :lo...

As I noted yesterday, Pieters tends to play quite narrow, meaning McNeil looked a little isolated in the first half and was very ineffectual. Second half they seemed to develop more of a rapport, but there's no question McNeil's attacks down the left are helped by Taylor offering an overlap and gett...

Five Guys burgers are our family treat - fantastic burgers and chips cooked in peanut oil. To feed 2 adults and a small boy costs about £23 - in the usual chains (BK and McD) it’s about £15-£18 so the small extra amount isn’t that much, and the difference in quality is well worth it. The one we fre...

His injuries have robbed him of his pace. He's still got great technical ability but it wasn't on show today. As the OP suggests, he barely touched the ball.

ksrclaret

Very good burgers, he's got taste has Ashley.

Now I've given up meat though, my chances of bumping into him at Five Guys has all but diminished.

ksrclaret

Shocking defensively, absolutely shocking. They got away with a couple of slips in the first half, but we punished them for each and every mistake second half. If I was a Saints fan, I'd be worried about the way they collapsed after the first went in. Gunn - suspect Stephens - poor Vestegaard - dism...

Thought Pieters had a great debut. He plays quite narrow and was shaky to begin with, but he grew into the game well and he fits into our system perfectly. A cracking assist as well. Charlie Taylor will find it tough to get back in. Sadly though, there is one negative to this. Hibsclaret will be cre...

Norwich are a neat side but they must learn from this and establish a solidity if they are to achieve anything close to 17th position this season.

It’s only their first game but their manager has got to learn quickly.

Danny Drinkwater our first number 8 since Dean Marney

Big boots to fill

Don't give up the day job, Peter.

Oh yeah, he already did. Thank god.

Just keep an eye on Dyche and his interactions with the fourth official

If he's only mildly abusing the fourth official, the decision has probably gone for us

If he's getting his mate Woany up to join him in berating the fourth official, the decision has probably gone against us

ksrclaret

He doesn't exactly look very enthused does he? Hope he shows more motivation on the pitch. Footballers often have that sort of demeanor. The slightly vacant and rigid expression. But I think you've got to remember they are footballers, and probably feel very uncomfortable in front of a camera on th...

Danny Drinkwater is unquestionably the better midfield player. They're similar in that their game is based around moving the ball on quickly, but Drinkwater has more energy, is more mobile and snaps into tackles with more intent. That's not to say Aaron Mooy isn't good, because he is. He was very ef...
