Fingers crossed for Eddie

Could damage Bournemouth

We will never know who threw their hat in the ring for the job. Laws may have been the best of a bad bunch.

We were a very unfashionable club who, to many, had the look of a team going down. Not the most attractive thing to have on one's CV

BFC income from fans is, at most, 7 or 8 million a year. TV revenue for BFC is over £100 Million per season. Who do you think has the most sway with Premier League Chairmen? That’s the whole point. It is the fans, be they attenders or stay at home, who generate that £100m. What other business would...

Any idea when that picture was taken.

I don't recall the steps, presumably entrance steps about half way along the bee hole end

And what is that detached house on the corner of Brunshaw Road and the bee hole end. Ticket office?

I believe the captain of the Titanic used to be on that famous list of quotes with the word f*ck in them. 'What f*ckin iceberg'. There was also 'what a stupid place to put a f*ckin tree' by Marc Bolan. But my personal favourite was: 'What the f*ck was that?' by the mayor of Hiroshima. Anyway, enoug...

Drop the goalkeeper for not integrating with the defence and bring back … oh wait. I think Taylor for Pieters will shore up the left hand side. On the right both Bardsley and Lowton have their weaknesses so it is a toss of the coin.I would, marginally go for Bardsley owing to his determination but I...

Interesting that the top 12 serving managers now include 6 Premier league managers

Down_Rover

Who was the last English England manager who had successfully managed a big club?

Not any of the last several

Dyche's credentials will be similar to Alf Ramsey when Burnley win the Premier League

without VAR interventions (ignoring offsides, because they are provable) we would be in 5th place just above Arsenal. My issue is that I quite enjoyed the post match grumbles in the past and we had a culprit to point a finger at. Now we are being robbed by the anonymous and there is no accountabilit...

Did I hear right what Neville just said

‘ they only had introduced VAR so Man Utd can win’

Was he joking or speaking from a position of knowledge

Down_Rover

Rugby union shows the discussion between the referee and the control room

The fact that they remain anonymous makes them less responsible

Just heard on radio

Great advice here. The laxative is the worst part. The fasting the second worst and the actual procedure is just mildly unpleasant Sedative or not?

Taylor is far better player than Pieters We are far more dangerous going forward with Taylor in the side and his link up play last season with McNeil was a joy to watch. Pieters is a decent championship full back but not Premier league class he doesn't offer enough going forward How can a player wi...

You cannot separate them. Completely different rules and different challenges

They both demonstrate what can be achieved if your Chairmand and the Board are born and bred supporters

Are you listening Man U?

Down_Rover

Wait for it... the boys will be suggesting Jones and McCann for central midfield

Down_Rover

I think Jack remains our most consistent and hardest working midfielder. He will be missed but it is an opportunity for Jeff who appears to be improving and maturing. There is no need to panic. It makes me smile that there is any concern re Jack. The nay sayers said his legs had gone. Not in my opin...

Usually it is weighted 50/50 between public votes and judges opinions. Just like in some game shows

Exactly my point. I think he is underrated and improving

Surprising that Jeff stands second after so few starts

I will be there and looking forward to it.

Until I saw this thread I had forgotten Tom was in goal against us.

Great keeper, great servant but most importantly an ex Claret and now a Villa player

Down_Rover

He’s a very lucky boy to still br here. He had previous and this must be last chance saloon

ClaretTony wrote:Not Pieters. Would think the highest would be Hart & Hendrick.

I was just commenting that Pieters is an ex international in the starting XI and that most of our caps that started are NZ or retired

Do you think he may return?

Down_Rover

Staggering maybe but I would guess that two thirds of the international appearances started on the bench and a high number of the starting eleven would be Chris Wood for NZ and two players, Lennon and Pieters who are no longer internationals

He aint in breach at Chelsea and he's got £100k per week in the bank till 2022. It's a nice thought but we are not signing DD anytime soon so lets hope he gets fit and gets playing and if things go well maybe we manage to extend his loan in Jan to end of season and get some good value for the money...

This whole episode may turn out to be a blessing in disguise. This scenario may pan out. Dyche gives him last chance but he has not played come January. Chelsea want rid because of disciplinary issues, nobody else will touch him with a bargepole and we sign a penitent for next to nothing now despera...

Down_Rover

A very mature approach.

History suggests to me that the fitness update means that we will be without Drinkwater, JBG, McNeil and Brady.

Cue uproar on a shocking transfer window
