A great shame, but he did well to last as long as he did. There were times when you could see he was suffering.

Colburn_Claret

shocking decision of VAR to overturn Palace goal. That was clearly the top of his shoulder. I defy anyone to place there arm alongside their ear, and have it down by their side at the same time.

Colburn_Claret

I'd go with Wood, he scores. His hold up play has improved no end this season as well, so to judge him on a game against Liverpool is silly. Vydra definitely brings something to the team, but I cant see him being a regular starter. That's why clubs have a squad, so they can mix it up, which we have ...

Incredible performance, fantastic result, I might have imploded had JBGs gone in. We stood off too much in the first half, paid them too much respect, but then they are a class act, but after the equaliser we were a different beast. Positive, energetic and could so easily have nicked it. The beer wi...

Bad
It's unnecessary, and designed to favour the bigger clubs with bigger squads.
Under the current schedule it's acceptable, but for next season it's a load of ********.

Colburn_Claret

When I was about 11 or 12, I was with a load of lads at Catterick Races when we saw Jack in the stands on the other side of the course. We ran across the track all excited to meet him. All we got was 'f*^k off you little b*^&$*ds'.
Still a top bloke. R.I.P. Jack

Colburn_Claret

Jamal Lewis quick left wing back, I like him think some of the big boys will get Cantwell Can't say I'm an expert on Norwich players, but Lewis looked shite against Watford. Gave away a cheap free kick for the equaliser, and caught out of position far too often going walk about, he wasn't in sight ...

Colburn_Claret

VAR works all over the world, it's only in this country that the powers that be make a pigs ear of it. They need to do away with the studio crap. The man on the pitch needs to make all the calls, and use the pitch side monitor for close calls. They need to do away with stupid lines, that have half a...

Colburn_Claret

A few months ago I think I read an interview with Ian Butterworth where he mentioned (in theory) potentially targeting Norwich players should they go down. As the Championship is usually our main source of incoming players it got me thinking who from the lower Prem teams might be realistically targ...

West Ham are commonly referred to as the Hammers, although their other nickname is the Irons, but I've not heard them referred to as that for many years.

West Ham fans always refer to the Irons, I think it's the rest of us that use the Hammers.

Colburn_Claret

There are clear differences between Tarks challenge and Neketiahs. The ball being there to be won, the starting position of the challenger, the contact point of the challenge, the speed of the contact. I don't think it was worth any more than a yellow, and if Neketiah hadn't been red carded the nigh...

I think the next manager of Burnley should be black, female and disabled. Keep everyone happy.

You forgot gay, you homophobic swine

Colburn_Claret

Matty needs one to go in off his arse, just to break the monkey. His movement is fine, he finds the space, but the ball just won't go in. Wood looked far better than on Sunday, not surprisingly, but i don't think we should give him 90 mins yet, so if you have to split them I'd let Vydra start. Fewer...

Colburn_Claret

A great summary. I think we can tick along, as long as SD is at the helm. It doesn't mention the academy, but our best hope for the future is finding some talent of our own, that can make the step up.That and making a sum of money from players who don't quite make the Premier League grade, is the on...

Colburn_Claret

It's allowed us to see McNeil playing just behind Vydra in central midfield and I liked what I saw. Hope he plays there more often. Dwight is a winger. He has the talent to play in the middle, but it would just be a waste of his ability, to take a man on, and whip in a cross. He's also not strong e...

Colburn_Claret

It sounds as though we need a minimum of 5 million to finance this a season. I can't see us being able to afford to give this the attention it needs to get the viable returns. It could take years for us to find another Dwight Yorke to pay back the huge investment, by then we could be back in the ch...

I'd agree it's a winter sport, but with modern pitches, and the habit of calling games off at the first sign of snow, it seems hard to call it a winter sport anymore.

Colburn_Claret

Just been on club web site and they mentioned Steve Stone.
Is he still on gardening leave , or has everyone kissed and made up?

Colburn_Claret

I thought Tarks at the time. He was obviously marking Egan, but got sucked in towards Sharp when they dinked the ball in. The back header just took him out of the picture. S*^t appens, as they say. Tarks owes us nothing after his season. Take it back, Wood was marking Sharp and just stood watching ...

3 1 to Hammers

I was confident of this a week ago, but too many things have changed for the worse. Mee out, and them finding form.

Hope I'm wrong.

Colburn_Claret

Delighted with this, a lot of people deserve a big pat on the back for this. The benefits to recruitment and the standard of competition, can only be good news for the future.

Rubbish defending, Sharp a free header and no one guarding the back.
A fair scoreline though.

Colburn_Claret

Snatching at chances is a problem, a little composure and we could have had 3, nor that the one doesn't flatter us.

Colburn_Claret

I hope, if we can keep the lead until the hour mark, that we swap Pieters for Brady or JBG, and get Dwight on the left wing, where he belongs. Eric's done nothing wrong but we need to be more pro active to tale the sting out of them.

That said, would SD use a sub before the 85th minute.

Colburn_Claret

They are so much better with the ball at the moment, and the wind doesn’t affect 50/50 balls.
Still lots to ay for but no goals at half time and I'll be delighted

No mention for big Sam, getting the first for Stoke.

I have a mate who's a big Stoke fan, and work with a smoggy Boro fan. I was hoping Stoke would beat Colin last week, it would have left Boro 5 points from safety. Even with that result Boro must be praying Wigan go down.

Hasn’t taken long for “become another Wigan” to get an airing. Mike Garlick has done a good job but some of comments on here would essentially have you believe he’s never done a thing wrong. His £50m hole statement was unnecessary at the time but so very predictable. You just knew we’d be the first...

Colburn_Claret

I'd agree Bournemouth, Watford or West Ham, but they are all so shocking I think we should relegate 4

Looking at that form table since the Chelsea defeat, West Ham have been ridiculously bad.

Colburn_Claret

With their form they could still survive if they don't let it get to them.
With banks negating charges for people who dip in to their overdrafts, due to Covid, you think the EFL would show a bit of latitude, if this because of Covid.

Colburn_Claret

A slight tweak, he'll be out until 2022

Seriously it didn't look good. I expect Brownhill to fill his slot on Sunday, which is what I believe he was bought to do. Who gets the Brownhill slot

Colburn_Claret

I think it was red, but not the worst I've seen.
What really irks is that if it had been the other way around, you just know Brownhill would have walked

Colburn_Claret

Getting better and better.
Its bound to take time to find your feet at this level, but showing great promise for next season.

I'm so ****** off at the usual, well it was only a knock, we are hopeful he'll be right for the next game, only to see them disappear for 6 weeks. If Jay is injured, fair enough, but it's the same bloody story every sodding time. Can anyone remember a player who had a knock, who actually played the ...

looks a bargain now doesn't he

Colburn_Claret

The way they are all performing could 32 pts see you safe this season. Only Brighton showed any bottle at all.
Villa, to be fair, try and play, but without a goal scorer they are doomed. The rest are just dross.

We do. We use the same software as a lot of clubs.

I wasn't talking about software, and if software is what we are relying on to assess possible signings, God help us.

We probably use the same data collect and resources as all the teams in the league. So If everyone does it that leaves us back at square one.

I don’t understand this at all. What do you mean by using top scouts? Those that work for other clubs? Perhaps not well explained. I mean that there are scouts that have been in the European market for years. It sounds as if our European scouts are new to the game and playing catch up. I just think...

Colburn_Claret

As good as Defour was it did take him until his second season until we saw the best of him on a more consistent basis We knew about his injury history before we bought him, which is why we got him so cheap, and why we knew we'd have to nurture him for long periods. I'd take a player of SDs quailty,...

Colburn_Claret

Pieters looked comfortable on Thursday, a natural footballer, as you'd expect of the Dutch.
Cahill and Milejovic are big strong lads in the air. If Jay isn't playing, I'd play 2 fast little uns, and keep the ball on the deck.

Colburn_Claret

I dont see why Rigg can't use the top scouts. They must have a long list of top talent, that the likes of Man U, Chelsea are after, but they should also have a list of really good players that might suit a 'Burnley', but not good enough for the top 6. If they are out there touting top talent anyway....
