Always thought Lou Macari could’ve played himself in this. His amateur acting would’ve been forgiven because Nellos story is enough to carry him

This is the scary thing about Sugar Daddy owners, once they take the club as far as they can - it's just downhill from there... and it's fast

From the outset I was surprised they supported the Black Lives Matter slogan officially. It might’ve been more appropriate to attach Kick It Out to it instead and still done the knee. However I think movement is in a very different place compared to when Premier League were printing the badges and b...

My fear for Dyche is that he’s too unfashionable to go to an established top Premier League club... he could join a club like Newcastle or West Ham, where the fans will just chew him up and spit him out. Leicester would be a good move but they’re in a good place, Crystal Palace, Bournemouth or Watfo...

Said in another thread that I’d have Chris Hughton, I thought he was unfairly treated with his departure at Brighton

I can’t manage my own finances, never mind a multi million pound organisation. I believe both parties want the same thing for Burnley Football Club but it sounds to me that some assurances haven’t been kept. Hopefully is just a bump in the road and we will continue to move forward. Though Dyche has ...

Dyche teams seem to step up when we have to play the hand that been dealt - especially when key players are out. Although our squads are often small, the team always seem to up their game every season.

I’m looking forward to the day when this isn’t a thing, I mean in a positive way, not in a moany way

From what it looks like, Stan are Warnock are so alike. It’s a shame they can’t stick eachother. They’d work well together.

I think they all crashing at Andre Grays

Winning at Southampton was when I thought we might be ok. Especially with Vydra making his mark

To be competitive in the Premier League you need billionaire owners, not millionaires.

I’m sure interest is shown on a regular basis - I think is just about the time being right.

Joe Hart, Jeff Hendrick, Adam Legzkins and Aaron Lennon leave the club

Unlucky last season too... But it was funny watching them miss out though

Liverpool win the Premier League

Burnley 1 - 0 Watford The Clarets move up to 11th in the table after Jay Rodriguez scored the decisive goal, with a glancing header from Dwight McNeil's cross. Prior to kick-off Burnley displayed a fan led video in support of Black Lives Matter with a players from both sides also taking a knee in s...

Manchester 5 - 0 Burnley Phil Foden and Riyad Mahrez both scored twice as Manchester City thrashed Burnley to ensure Liverpool will have to wait a little longer to wrap up the Premier League title. The Clarets did not manage an effort at goal until Dwight McNeil lashed a free-kick into the empty st...

Chris Hughton would be my choice if Dyche was to leave

Has Jeff Hendrick been good value for money?

That’s worst over reaction in the history on this message board.

Name me a worse one? You can go back to when we had just one sub if you want. I’d swap Thompson, Jensen, Dunne and John Francis - at his age now

claptrappers_union

That’s the worst bench in the history of Burnley Football Club

claptrappers_union

I wouldn't say its been underwhelming, it's pretty much what I expected. I think it'll get more exciting though when the relegation scrap comes into it.

claptrappers_union

We are safe, but its a shame we’ve not had a few more decent results because that top 6 isn’t great. Maybe the fragmented season might benefit us, but I doubt it.

claptrappers_union

Ings was on course to be a top quality striker, he deserved his move to Liverpool. Shame he had his injures

As for Trips, I don’t think he was appreciated at Spurs.

Imagine coming from the future and telling Owen Coyle

“Actually mate, they’ll be playing Barrow...”

I think walking has helped a lot of people during the pandemic and you were right to get out and about. My friends in London who live in apartment blocks have to catch The Tube (which was closed) to the nearest park (if it was open) to get meaningful exercise. For us, in our Lancashire homes - it’s ...

To win a campaign is beneficial to have a influential celebrity to help push it. They didn’t do a u-turn just because of Rashford, they did it because campaigners had found someone willing to use his platform and experience to start gathering momentum - and more where going to follow. The government...

Some homeless people have machines so you can tap your phone or card to make small payments. What worries me is in the future, the powers-that-be could control the population by freezing bank accounts. With no cash, what is the alternative to trading? Though it is easier. My prediction for the futur...

Weirdly I remember that day much more than I do at Wembley.

I remember the journey back knowing we were going up and Sheffield United were going to be a formality. Not a regular feeling supporting Burnley

The last notable phase in Football League history was probably in 1992 and I'm wondering if this will be recognised as a new period of history within the sport? I'm not sure what the eras are defined as, but I suppose there's a lot of sub-era's like the Golden Age, post-1966, Hooliganism/Hillsbrough...

1997/98

Waddle betting player/manager, quite high profile players and staff too in Glen Roeder in the England setup, Chris Woods and so on. After picking up results-wise towards the back end of the season and winning against Plymouth to stay up. Dreadful season on paper but I remember enjoying it.

Do I feel their pain?
Like **** I do.
A rovers fan I briefly worked with a few years ago told me they were preparing street parties the day we played Orient in 'that' game.
As I say **** 'em.

And you think Burnley will be ok?

They are a Club with owners holding a bottomless pit of money too... a sad state of affairs of we might see with a lot of local clubs.

I think it’s a fair statement though, I don’t know what else they can do?

I prefer this style. I like the spontaneity of the topics, I prefer to just check in on the messageboard to see what’s happening on all sorts of stuff - rather perusing different rooms trying to find something interesting too read. Anything I’m not interested in like cricket, horse racing or that sp...

I think depends on your age, Football seems to matter more when your younger, but for me... (forgive me if the years are wrong) Burnley 0 - 5 Gillingham (1998/99) Burnley 0 - 6 Man City (1998/99) Blackburn 5 - 0 Burnley (2000/01) Sean Dyche v Easily beatable lower-league opposition (since appointment)

I was struggling up an hill last week and two lads on e-bikes come whizzing past faster than cars.

I was a tad jealous at the time.

It’s like someone pushing you along. Like pressing a turbo button

You are in for a lot of fun. I sold a Haibike a couple of weeks ago and upgraded, they are brilliant. I’ve not ridden a bike since I was 14.

An old school mate had a summer house style timber structure in his garden, mezzanine floor and fully decked out with electricity and sky tv. 4 or 5 of us stayed over one night and we watched this, definitely creeped us out. Pretty sure it will be lame if I watch it back. In truth it’s a disappoint...
