Strange player, offered nothing of value to the team, but would chip in with goals when he played.

I have the same issue, I'm constantly putting air in. I could take it to a garage - might cost few quid, might be a new tire or a new wheel... at the moment I don't have enough money to find out.

EuroGarages have FREE air machines by the way

That Brighton game... it looked like we were gonners. We hadn’t invested in the team - Stan and the board were losing the fans and the club was broke.

I think that’s the season we had Andrew Watson begging for fans to attend - it was beginning to look a bit grim

Every other day is sad day in America when it comes to mass shootings. Hey-ho life goes on.

Obviously I’m being facetious, but sometimes I wonder if Americans actually think like that?

The club apparently plants a tree for every green away kit sold... but then again, we removed decent serviceable wooden seats that have been in use since 1969 and then replaced them with 2,400 plastic ones - while removing seats from JHL and dumping into landfill after just 20-odd years of wear and ...

To be fair, it was just a footnote in his career. When he speaks of his time at Burnley, he speaks well of it.

He is the last of the decent characters of the game. Managers and players these days are so dull - I don’t like any of them.

I’ve always liked him though

Burnley 3 - 0 West Ham Ashley Barnes and Chris Wood both celebrated signing new contracts with goals that propelled the Clarets to another big win over the Hammers. The combination of Barnes and Wood and an own-goal from goalkeeper Roberto Jimenez brought a welcome end to a three-match losing run. ...

I’d prefer a Blues Brothers one please

VAR display that the Goal is being checked, then they display the decision and then they show the evidence, before showing ‘check complete’

They only showed the evidence for about 3 seconds which I thought was shocking.

Their productions are very professional and she will develop with them. Lots of their young performers go into have professional careers.

Probably not

So, with that conclusion, having an Academy and a Development squad is pointless - and the money saved running them should be spent on transfer fee's for young players with proven Premier League quality?

The OP can look at wiki - here are some of the players we signed just this season for the U23's

Joel Senior - Curzon Ashton
Ryan Cooney - Bury
Bailey Peacock-Farrell - Leeds United
Adam Phillips - Free agent
Lukas Jensen - Hellerup (Denmark)
Joel Mumbongo - Hellas Verona (Italy)

But OP is having a pop at the transfer policy saying that the club don't invest in young players. So what I gather he wants players between 18-23 to come straight into the team?

So that's about 4 signings in 7 years then? One of whom will never get anywhere near our starting line up.

I hope Sean Dyche is aware of this new rule - where defenders are allowed to handle the ball if there are jumping up with another player.

Missing the first 5 minutes doesn’t benefit anyone.

Booing the Premier League anthem as the players do the wanky handshake nonsense - that will cause attention. The Premier League won’t like that as that footage goes out worldwide

Today there was a handball, nobody appealed - VAR deliberated over it for 3 mins. It looked like a handball to me, that was my opinion after seeing the replays... anyway VAR decided because both players were challenging the ball so it wasn’t a penalty that no one asked for and killed the momentum of...

Var has shown I don’t know the rules of the game - everything from handballs, dangerous tackles to contact in the penalty area. Different decisions every week, yet justified by a different rulings. The game has suddenly become all technical and the only people how can now enjoy it are referees and e...

Reading this thread reminds me why I don’t bother with away games.

Most of the day is spoiled by Neanderthals who know nothing about Burnley FC, our players or football in general and spend most of the game sticking V’s up at home fans.

Sheff Utd 3 - 0 Burnley

It was a demoralising defeat at Bramall Lane as Burnley were blown away by three first-half goals in a one-sided Roses battle.

I can understand why the club go along with it, can you imagine the criticism they say ‘no’ Remember is the fans who request for the message to be displayed and the club don’t instruct anyone to clap.

Nothing to it really, just a bunch of lads fooling about. At the end of the day though, they should’ve made an example out of the one carrying a knife.

I thought the government were cracking down on this problem, he should’ve been given some time inside, just to be lesson to everyone else.

I don’t understand the autograph thing. I understand families waiting for autographs with their young children - meeting their heroes etc. But when your over the age of 15, you must have better things to be doing with your time.

Everton don’t seem to have an identity. A very mediocre team who are not meeting their potential.
