Is Tommy Fleetwood his real name or is it like Johny Vegas or Captain America

Inspired by Eric Morecambe apparently.

Been to the KP stadium at least 7 times this season-they are not the best side in the Division. They have no strike force and cannot impose their domination in games

Yet they are top of the division, which makes them the, er, best side in the division.

Can't remember who said it but remember that comment, we got lucky that they don't hand out trophies in October

I think there was more than one tbh.

If/when they are relegated they start their next season in the Championship on -2 points.

That is them not catching us

They'll still win the league by October

TBH last season was so enjoyable it was unreal, if we do go up again it might not be as exciting knowing the corrupt, cheating, cesspit of big club bias that is the Premier league.

I'm sure we all knew that last season.

TheFamilyCat

Assuming we are relegated,and we are top of the Championship walking through teams as we did last season,will it feel the same to you? Last season was full of hope excitement and I was drooling over the style of football on offer.VK could do no wrong.If it's repeated next season however,It just won...

Anyway if you look his "mistake" the keeper should take the most blame as his pass out to Maatsen gave him absolutely no choice other than hoofing the ball out for a corner as every other team mate was being marked by by an Athletico Madrid player. Keeper the real culprit I didn't realise Trafford ...

My wife just found this underneath her car (Peugeot Partner)

Heavy, metal, finished at one end, oily smell.

What is it?

I don't think, if we accept the premise that the clause exists, that they anticipated it going so badly when they inserted such a clause

Of course not. But if a clause that is in the player's favour isn't working outdoors him, he/his agent would be looking to renegotiate.

That can't be right, it sounds like a decision that's taken fans into consideration.

TheFamilyCat

Leaving aside the question raised by others about what the penalty for breaking this contractual agreement would be, how exactly would this be enforced? If a player believes they are physically fit enough to play, and the club disagrees, then who makes this call? I can’t for one minute believe that...

How did Casemiro stay on after that studs led, out of control, assault?
VAR should have told Taylor to take a look.

"6 inches higher, he would have been off".

Wearing a different shirt he probably would have been too.

TheFamilyCat

If (fairly large if) this is common practice then it would explain a lot. It might also explain why our best striker ended up playing at right wing yesterday If you mean why he was playing right wing while Fofana is in "his" position, then terms of loan deals more commonly stipulate number of games...

What happens if he doesn’t play in 75% of games?

Dunno, but I doubt it would be more damaging than relegation.

Also, what benefit is there to Eyres or Trafford playing every week and his saleability decreasing?

TheFamilyCat

I wonder if Chris Iwelumo had "heard" it from reading this board.

Credit to him for succeeding at a shitshow like Chelsea.

Big Muric fan here, but I'd back Trafford to save that header.
But we could have been behind by then.

My comment was about our defenders, not keepers.

Has everyone forgot we now have the super Muric back in goals ? We won’t be getting batteredin our penalty area this time round .. and I’m going for a 1 .2 win … I’m confident we will beat Everton

Have you forgotten the Wolves goal already?

TheFamilyCat

I fine example of a player who was written off way too sopn by some of our expert fans. "The white Iwelumo"; simpletons.

TheFamilyCat

They really don’t need to financially. Listening to some of the ex-players on commentary; “he won a penalty”, “he was touched and had a right to go over”, suggests just being an ex-player does not give you a proper football brain. I don’t believe ex-players should necessarily be making decisions, b...

I bet they all had surnames for Christian names and double barrelled surnames. Plebs.

The big mystery will be when the next generation of double barrel meets double barrel. Will we have quadruple barrelled names? I worked with a lass who was double barrelled. Turns out her and her wife were both double-barrelled when they were single. They took one of their original double barrelled...

TheFamilyCat

Exactly. I'm fairly certain there's not a genuine football fan (as in paying at the turnstiles) anywhere in the country of any team, that actually rates it. Every single fan I ever speak to despises it. In theory it looked like the answer to refereeing blunders and mistakes. It's been anything but....

It was just one family from Bacup.

TheFamilyCat

He looked desperate to book one of ours for time wasting as soon as we scored. Didn't seem quite so keen when it was them.

The free kick that they had to take three times either side of that little **** number 8 kicking it away to the keeper really took the ****.

Yep. The whole crowd could see it but not our overpaid manager and his million staff.

There's a reason we are all sat in the stand and he is paid so much to be in the dugout.

Frustrating as it was, he will have had his readons and I'll back his judgement.

TheFamilyCat

He deserves a mention for the goal-saving challenge near the end. For a player who has been criticised for his defensive work that was a phenomenal bit of work.

TheFamilyCat

I also think Odobert is a good player, potentially our best. He is far more effective on the left wing where he can use his pace and skill. For me , he was out of position last night, played well but nothing more than other players could do. I think we wasted an opportunity last night. I have to ag...

TheFamilyCat

Agree with the comments about Taylor. Really frustrating not to have a proper winger having all that ball out there.

Foster was wasted on the wing too, especially with Fofana having a mare.

If he’d have played all season we’d have been nowhere near the bottom three. Huge error from Kompany, I’d rather keep Muric if push comes to shove.

Pushing for Europa at least, surely.

Ex-pros being on VAR would be stupid idea. Any former pro who has had any links to the any of the club or playing for their rivals would just cause more problems. VAR is supposed to assist officials in not making poor decisions, instead they're just backing their poor decisions up. Instead of chang...

Money money money

Don’t forget how much betting takes place world wide on PL games One decision can win or lose millions and the big bookies ( Vegas ) will want to influence any result they can.

Why would bookies want the most likely (and therefore most backed) outcome?

I've said this before, it's a tough choice.

I want to see Burnley playing at highest possible level. Unfortunately the highest level in England is the shitshow that visited the PL.

TheFamilyCat

Is it possible that a referee like Darren England reads Up The Clarets Messageboard and notes that he is in 21st. position according to marks given by Burnley fans. If so, could that affect his performance in a Burnley game or is he just totally incompetent whatever the game ? I think it's entirely...
