I feared the worst, but the lads should be proud of that performance. I've said before that the performance is near as important as the result. Against a very good , confident Leicester side we could have easily got something.
It should give us the confidence going forward.

Lots of mentions of United crap defence, but I was impressed with Palaces. Everytime utd went forward they kept that straight backline of 4 across the edge of the penalty area. If someone pulled out, someone else filled in. They reminded me of us. If they can score more goals they should avoid the a...

hesgoal.com are usually very good, and not much lag in time.
It's pot luck what language you get to watch the match in, but most commentators are crap anyway.

It's not just elderly people with an underlying health condition. It doesn't matter what age they are. The people with underlying health conditions know who they are. The NHS know who they are. They are the only people that need shielding. It isn't, and never was necessary for the whole of the coun...

What's the relevance of flying?

It was in response to which businesses need to continue furlough. Imo the only businesses that still require it are the Airlines and support services. I cant see any need for nightclubs or rheayres to remain shut.

Colburn_Claret

You've narrowed it down way too much. For example, the whole night time economy is at risk: Nightclubs Theaters Live music venues Event spaces etc etc etc This is the 5th biggest industry in the UK. I wouldn't close any of those. You don't need to fly to a theatre or nightclub, they should all be r...

Colburn_Claret

Yes For those saying that some sectors still can't open, I narrow it down to foreign tourist companies and the Air services that support them. I think the problem of lockdown has been misread from the offset, as the government has twisted and turned to appease the media. They should have stuck with ...

Pay your tax bills... It's you and I they're ******* over- why feel sorry for any of these clubs? Because it wasn't the fans that didn't pay their taxes, or the players, or the Town. A whole community will be suffering for one mans mistakes. It's fair to say that if we spend money we don't have, on...

Does it show Brian Miller playing toss the dwarf with a pitch invader. We were in stitches.

Colburn_Claret

That would be taking a huge gamble on avoiding injuries and suspensions across the full season. We never have a good cup run, so wouldn't be worried about fixture pile up, but Dyche's consistency in his team selection and the lack of break since the final games of last season surely increases the r...

I don't know about anyone else, but I stopped watching it years ago. Tufnell and Dawson were quite funny at first, but then it just became a muppets parody of themselves. The quiz was overtaken by them trying too hard to be funny. It could still be a good show if they went back to an actual quiz, in...

garlick has got us into the top 10 in the pl is probably the most absurd statement ive read on this thread. Sean Dyche has got us into the top 10 despite mike garlick Who hired SD. Who kept him on, even after relegation. Who gave him a massive say in Barnfield. Who gave him a massive contract to ke...

Colburn_Claret

No one can know if the rumours about budget are true. There's obviously a disagreement between the camps manager, recruitment, board but who's at fault if any, is a guess. I would find it strange, that a business man like Garlick, isn't aware of the issue SD would have if he doesn't even know how mu...

Do people really think Tarks won’t move to West Ham because a) they played poorly yesterday and b) they have a difficult run of games? He’ll move to West Ham if Burnley accept an offer, because they’ll pay him a lot more money than we can, it’s as simple as that. I think yesterdays result made it e...

The 4-4 was against Norwich if I remember, I think one of their lads got a hat trick as well, Ted McDougall rings a bell.

Uwe was definitely a class player, one of my favourites. Another versatile player who could play many different positions as if he was a natural.

Colburn_Claret

Great goal, and an assist, if only we could have kept him.

At least the Geordies who were underwhelmed by his signing now know they got a good one.

Colburn_Claret

Even if Liverpool grab a win, they haven't got a hope of retaining the league with that defence.

Colburn_Claret

Liverpool don't look like they learnt anything from that first half

Colburn_Claret

Liverpool holding too high a line to be giving away the ball so cheaply around the Leeds box. How many balls over the top , with only VVD to defend them. Robertson ok, but the other side is a shambles. Teams that sit deeper will find it a lot easier to break on Leeds back line, and they do look vuln...

Colburn_Claret

Liverpool defending is awful.
TAA and Gomez are shite.
Leeds look very quick, but playing twice a week at that pace isn't going to last

Colburn_Claret

I'm sure it said somewhere he has 1 year left on his contract so 8 million seems a fair offer It isn't fair if we get gazumped. I think a low bid like that only encourages our peers to outbid us. We cant afford to have our pants taken down, and the money we have is limited. BUT, if he is only worth...

Quaison sounds a good one, but I do hope we aren't seriously going in with an opening bid of 8 mill. At least put in a serious offer, at 8 million lots of prem teams would buy him, just to put him on the bench.

Does anyone know how strong or weak the Stoke U18s and Wolves U23s were last season. One swallow doesn't make summer, but its hard to measure how strong we are moving up to a higher level.

This looks like the line up for the real McCoy, so I hope they get rid of any kinks, and most of all stay injury free.

That's a curious argument. Make poor people poorer to make them happier. It only depends on how you define poor people. My generation had none of todays mod cons, laptops, mobile phones, FB, Game consoles. By todays yardstick we'd be labelled poor, in many ways we were. But I'd argue that we had a ...

Colburn_Claret

No. It's another tax on poor people who often buy online because its cheaper than going to the shops. There's a much bigger picture. Society requires social interaction, for a persons sanity they need to get out. There is a danger that people just start living the lives of hermits. Shops closed, pu...

I’ve heard we’ve been offered Danny Rose by Tottenham. Would make a great defensive left wing I wouldn't have Danny Rose as a free, even if Spurs paid his wages. He has always come across as a loser. Great first couple of seasons, but since his career stalled he's walked around with a massive chip ...

I agree that 22% across the board might seem fairer, but there are also jobs and businesses going to the wall because of online shopping. You could raise VAT to 25%, and Amazon would still make a fortune. Just as Super markets shouldn't be allowed to sell alcohol as a loss leader, to undercut pubs, ...

In 1997 it was the exact opposite where Conservative seats with huge majorities were being toppled with ease. It's unlikely to last. Remember the Portillo moment? Beaten by a centrist Labour Party.

Should be Dyche. When you are choosing from the best players in any country, then there isn't a lot you can teach them as individuals. It's all about organising them into a team unit. Organising a team unit is SDs speciality. The problem with yesterdays performance is how disjointed we are as a team...

Censorship imposed by press barons is as bad as that imposed by despotic governments. Large parts of our press aren’t free.

Really poor, as expected to be honest. Apart from Pickford, playing Tripps on the left, Dier on the pitch full stop. The biggest issue is we play like a team of average to good strangers, no team ethic or style, no shape, just XI individuals. Iceland might be missing a lot of players, but they are o...

We all get frustrated, why should SD be any different. He is in a difficult position, and working with one hand tied behind his back. That said, he does understand the realities of the club, and if we all just walked out everytime we felt frustrated at work, factories would have a revolving door. So...

Minor problem and nothing to be concerned about I may have missed it Tony, but is there any official line on why Ben is injured. He finished the game against Palace. The club said it was a tweak that needed monitoring, but would likely keep him out for the next game. Which was fair enough. But 2 mo...
