Apparently he reads the game really well

I read a book to go to sleep

Cork is still a very good player and integral to our way of playing. At long last we have three genuine central midfielders and can rotate them

Ian you have been stuffed.

Not life changing sorts of money

"The only clubs that have bought their way into the top 6/8 are backed by mega rich who won’t even find Burnley on the map" I agree with you other points to a degree. Given how well the club is run I would be astounded if they sold out to a poor investor in terms of someone wanting to change the et...

West Ham fans have been raving about Bowen recently. Always the best player on the pitch apparently.

Not surprised. They have nothing to compare him with. They are fourth bottom and he has only played the equivalent of four games

All that money and no change in results

Down_Rover

who is saying push for the top 6 ? I only see people saying stay in the premier league and give Dyche as much help as possible in doing that. Also, did you ever think you would see Burnley play in the top flight and europe anytime in the last 30 years ? I was amazed when we got into the Championshi...

Down_Rover

Oh and if we had a bigger budget would we have wasted it on players like Bowen and Che Adams

Down_Rover

The only clubs that have bought their way into the top 6/8 are backed by mega rich who won’t even find Burnley on the map Many more have tried and failed Even Leicester Wolves Sheffield Utd are work in progress. What happens next to them? Rovers in the making maybe? Bournemouth is faltering. Leeds P...

SDs next move is so important to his career. There have been many managers who have been the bees knees for a year or two right back to Brown was he was at Hull and dozens since , the names I can’t remember ( which is my point). If he is not successful in his next job he may well join that list Righ...

Dyche said nothing at all. Top class deflection tactics

But maybe there is no story

And so what step forward do you suggest Mr Garlick should take?

That’s unfair. Moaners moan and doers do

Down_Rover

Sounds like this whole contract situation has been handled very badly. Muck ups happen but how we respond and mend whatever damage has been caused is important. We're a little fish in a big pond. We need to be constantly better than our neighbours merely to survive. We can't allow things to slip. H...

True, but most travel in from 45 minutes to an hour away now, I suppose moving in between Manchester and Leicester would see a similar commute to work and back towards family. And let's be honest money will play the most significant factor, I'm yet to hear of many players that take significant wage...

I watched the game on tv as a 9yo in 1966

Watched it for the second time today. No diving, no cheating the referee and no time wasting. Those were the days, the game flowed and was the sporting spectacle it should have been

Down_Rover

Just saw it

Must be going fast. We live in south Manchester

Newcastle Brown is utterly disgusting.

That’s unfair

It is very popular because it tastes exactly the same on the way down as it does on the way back. Convenient practice

Down_Rover

Was hoping it was going to work out and perhaps in the end he was hard done by. However, apart from good signings, it didn't work out the second time either. I know exactly where i was that Spurs night, listening to the commentary on Radio 2 :D I know exactly where I was too In the stand at White H...

What's your recollections of the replay at Hillsborough?

It felt like a loss before kick off. Sheffield fans had turned out in droves and the atmosphere was such that we were lambs to the slaughter

Only ever felt that prematch once more. At Arsenal when the Frog retired.

Both games 5-0

Villa could be playing Championship football next season (with a bit of luck).

That could be bad news

Taking a season with a sleeping giant in the Championship might be his next move

Last game of season at Emirates, Wengers last game

All the gooners were singing “there’s only one Arsene Wenger”. Burnley fans joined in and were applauded by the Arsenal fans ...
Until they added “ you two faced b*****ds, you got him the sack”

I came on to this thread to wish Boris all the best.

I find myself rudely interrupting a slanging match between people with differing political views

I apologise

Do you guys realise that you are just getting angry about posts from folk you will probably never meet?

It was my Mum who took me to the games, from 1965 thru to promotion in the seventies, home and away. She still kept going on her own when I was old enough to go with my mates. she got remarried and moved away but was an a occasional attender and she always knew the results before I could tell her.

Vydra was brought in for the midfield okay not in a flat 442 more like a 312 but he was 100% brought in to play midfield not a forward in a role in front of the midfield behind the forwards J-Rod Brownhill McNeil ............Vydra............... Barnes ............Wood A role Westwood could not pla...

My wife and I booked a trip back in about 1997. First class Eurostar to Paris, two night stay. Then Concorde from Paris to Malaga, picked up by coach to Algerceras, then QE2 2 nights to Southampton and Orient Express back to Victoria. 4 nights in all. The package was organised by a travel company wh...

I agree totally mate, he could be a one goal wonder, but if he gets the opportunity now and grabs it successfully Ash would surely be behind Wood and JR and then, depending on his performances, Vydra as well. It's a hard time to be a striker at our place just now but it is great for the team and th...

Down_Rover

With Brownhill, Hendrick and a fit JBG we at last seem to have enough quality to be able to have some real strength in depth. Add to that in Wood, JR, Vydra and Ash we have 4 decent quality strikers. My opinion is that, at the moment until we have seen what Vydra could do with an extended run, Ash ...

Down_Rover

I agree there is no chance of Wood playing. As said above he is just playing his cards close to his chest and if he is not 100% fit why should be take the risk

Same 11 that finished, JBG to come on if no penetration down right

Brownhill will get his chance all in good time

If I had £500 spare each month it'd be going into my pension.

Depends on your personal circumstances. Age, income and need to access funds. ISAs can prove to better than pensions in certain circumstances.

Certainly gives you more chance of spending it all before your time is up

Since Laporte was bought they’ve won 2 premier league titles and did the treble. Since he’s been injured they’ve shipped goals for fun. Have you not seen City at the back without him this season? See what I said above. Until you have a controlled experiment you have no conclusion. I did not say Tar...

Down_Rover

We only ever see other teams centre halves in soundbites on TV highlights when the media promote them. We see Tarks 90 minutes a week, we see every tackle, every pass and every mistake. We see all his warts. I am firmly in the camp that he is second to VVD, even he makes mistakes. As for LaPorte the...

Did we all know? I didn't for one and I still think potentially they were just there at the wrong time with the wrong people and that cost them. I thought Howieson, in particular, looked a real prospect when he was in the youth team. See my comment above. In my view they were not up to the mark not...

Down_Rover

Did we know they were going to fall short? I certainly didn’t and nor did anyone I knew at the club. Well I remember a thread on the old site about whether it was right to boo Hewitt on what I thought was his only first team start. Neither he or Howieson did better than cameos despite being around ...

Down_Rover

It really does feel as if the investment in the youth teams is nearing payback. We have Benson, Glennon, Koiki, Dunne, Goodridge and Richardson to name but a few. If only one of them makes it to the first team it shows the direction of travel, but they sre upgrades on the likes of Hewitt, Howieson e...

6 weeks ago there were some in meltdown as to how we would get another point.

I think the last 4 games have told us to expect the unexpected

Feet on the ground time now without Wood and Barnes. Lets just get 6 more points and we can all relax

It is all relative Arsenal hounded out Wenger, mourinho was sacked at Manure and Potch was not good enough for Spurs.
