What was the point of Spurs signing Gareth Bale?

I, too, wondered this tonight. In fact I’d pretty much forgotten they had him. Has he been injured? Thought him, Son and Kane could have been quite some front 3.

Cubanclaret

Don’t think Everton fans had much positive to say about Keane when he had a slump in form too ? If I remember rightly Kenny had a bit of a run of games under Allardyce. But profile-wise someone whose not quite good enough to dislodge players of £35m cost (Iwobi) should hardly bring written off. I ag...

Leading on from that thinking Paul, I wondered if the size of deferred payments might link to future ‘goodwill of the business’ which are faced with great uncertainties in terms of broadcast money (hard to imagine increases here) and also Covid (not to mention relegation). Alan Pace’s comments allud...

Fair play to Chris Boden for getting a more personable story outside the confines of the presser the other day. I’ve been quietly taking on some well balanced opinions expressed on here from many posters much more financially knowledgable than myself. Is there a chance that some folks have been over...

Sean has been hung out to dry by Sky Sports
On Twitter running with the headline that he thinks footballers should be vaccinated.
Lots of angry responses from people who clearly haven’t gathered the context which he reiterated many times in the full interview. Shame, as he made some good points.

Cubanclaret

Sean makes great points about vaccinations for footballers being cheaper than continuous testing.

Means greater payback for the system, NHS and things remaining competitive.

Also I thought he looked dog rough - hope he's ok.

Part of the problem here is that the striking department probably hasn’t been a priority for us over the past few windows. We have good competition for places and 4 lads (or 3 1/2 ;) who have all proved capable at PL level. Compare that with some of our rivals. Perhaps SD feels It’s the supply chain...

I remember a Birmingham winger having a blinder in the midweek milk cup tie in 1983. Ian Handysides. They came back from 2-0 to pull level then we won 3-2. The season we reached the semi finals.

And when we were really bad: Mark Loram (Torquay)

I got my kids a Jehovah’s Witness advent calendar this year.

Similar to a normal one only it starts with the doors open and you shut a door each day

It's probably worth putting this up again https://www.rslsoapbox.com/2017/2/2/14395874/real-salt-lake-checketts-hansen-ownership-style There's pros and cons to Checketts from reading this - he's certainly hands on but clearly a bit reckless over financial affairs too. Certainly seems to have plenty...

Not sure about walking home with a 6-pack, but I did once see him walking away from Turf Moor shortly before kick-off with a pair of football boots. I'll never forget it, the game in question was the play-off semi-final at home to Plymouth (1993/4)? - I couldn't believe Jimmy Mullen hadn't picked hi...

Cubanclaret

Lundstrum arguably quicker than Westwood / Cork - but there’s certainly no evidence of him being ‘stronger’ or indeed an improvement on either of those two. He didn’t play much in their promotion season albeit had a good run when everything was going well for them last year. He appears to be quite i...

Good call

Cubanclaret

It’s definitely strikes a patronising tone towards Sean Dyche. I’d like to think that this opportunity is what Dyche needs to show the world how could he can be as a manager. It’s pretty clear that a movement up the footballing career ladder has been tempered by accusations of ‘Dycheball’ and depict...

Pulled from The Athletic. I didn’t know that Adrian had a son pulling up trees in the lower leagues. He looks just like him too. Joel Randall Current club: Exeter City Position: Left winger Possible cost: £1.5 million Exeter City’s academy is rightly lauded as a conveyor belt of talent, with old boy...

I did wonder whether mormons would come into it after reading that he was in involved at Real Salt Lake. I wonder what they'll think of the 'Oh Burnley is wonderful song' :lol: Overall though he talks well and this interview tackles one of the first potential pitfalls that a moneyball approach might...

Cubanclaret

Americans usually talk well in these kind of contexts. It’s interesting that he places so much value on the continuity of the coaching staff and even mentions being impressed with our style of play. Also seems genuine that no talks have yet taken place with Dyche. I’m sure I’m not alone in thinking ...

Is anyone else as part of the ALK team relocating to the North West. Did Pace already live in the Uk?

Cubanclaret

It’s a tricky one. Newcastle play defensively with organisation and strength but they got ripped apart.
I think the Wolves game was a good template. Leeds tend to start like a house on fire and it will be a case of keeping them out and growing into the game. I’m going for a 1-0 win.

Leeds 2 v 3 Burnley...Wood hat-trick.....just imagine the meltdown on the Leeds forums

Apparently we paid £20m for Wood according to an extremely prickly Leeds fan on Twitter.

Thanks for your help !
There was a few I had forgotten, I guess I’ll was only recalling PL sendings off.
Looks like only 4 and we’re in our 6th season.

I was amazed to hear the commentators say that u der Arteta’s tenure (12 months-ish ?) Arsenal have had 7 red cards. Can someone confirm how many we’ve had in 8 years under Dyche as I’m sure it’s not that many. In fact I could only think of 5 (Duff v West Ham, Hendrick at Watford, Barnes at Everton ...

Pope 9
Lowton 8
Tarkowski 9*
Mee 9
Taylor 8
Brady 8
Westwood 8
Brownhill 8
McNeill 7
Wood 6 (Vydra 7)
Rodriguez 7 (Barnes 7)

Evra was pretty funny too

Cubanclaret

Wow. He’s actually a Burnley fan.
Could certainly do with a seat on the board.
But it sounds like he has other priorities and quite right too.

To Burnley and Wolves...on BBC transfer gossip. Stoke city striker, 20 years old, in the goals this season.

Cubanclaret

He's missed a few penalties for Stoke now, yet never missed one for us (and he took quite a few). That says it all about the difference in his confidence. He was never that convincing from the spot even though he didn’t miss one for us. I remember one at Southampton hit down the middle without much...

I think a bit more to it than that HB with respect. I’m only only posting the link as it came out today.

Seems a crazy time to be buying the smallest PL football club. I hope they know what they’re letting themselves in for.

If I read that right it appears as though you believe that you should get it free whilst the rest of us has to pay? Surely you don’t mean that?? Tbh Tony should get it for nowt as he thoroughly reports for the busiest on-line Burnley fans portal. How is that different to a ‘press pass’ afforded to ...

So do we have anyone to second what’s stated in the report, that we are merely awaiting Premier League ratification on the deal of a £200m takeover.

Cubanclaret

Can’t believe the defending there

Cubanclaret

Much better from us in second half up till now. Can we find a cutting edge ?

Cubanclaret

Got off lightly there. Agree that Brownhill goes Into the middle and Jay Rod or Brady comes on.
Actually I’d have them both on for Stephens and Barnes.

Interviewed by Jordan North.
Is he some kind of celebrity?

And do you have any concerns about The Trump’s campaign’s efforts to depress number of votes cast in battleground States?

There was a news item on Newsnight last night saying how quickly and easily ‘fake news’ becomes reality as digital
platforms all paraphrase each other. It happened with a story about Woolworths relaunching on Monday.
Perhaps be a good thing if this goes the same way.

Forgive me if I’m being naive but is the lawyer (Farnell) not acting as a go between. The Egyptian is the man with the money right?

If I remember rightly Man United won something like the first 10 Or 12 matches of the First Division that same season. They still managed to cock it up and failed to win the league!

Biden, for the sake of the planet, the most under discussed issue confronting mankind is the climate crisis and Trump doesn't think it's a problem.

You'd think as a wannabe Tory candidate, giving him Burnley was probably seen as quite a tall order when he was put in. When voters actually voted him in, I remember him saying that a constituency like Burnley would benefit from having an MP that could go an knock on the PM's door to get things sort...

Westwood might have been offered the vice captaincy as part of his new deal. Tarks I believe was 'desperate' to leave this last window. In recent press interviews Dyche has said that the flip side of not bringing anyone in is that the club are at least financially robust enough to turn down offers. ...

I've given up the news for October. Trump's immunity preach was the last straw.

Andy Jones on The Athletic says not to expect much but we are still in the market and it will depend on a suitable opportunity arising. Chris has papers to get out and won't be on twitter all day. At this stage I would settle for a last ditch Michael Kightly style loan of a right winger. Actually we...

Thought he grew into the game and played well in the first 20 mins of the second half before being substituted.
I agree Brownhill better in the middle, but this is what you get with a lack of available players.

Didn’t Nixon say we were bringing in Dawson on Radio Lancs a couple of Fridays ago. Hard to glean how ‘in the know’ he really is but folks certainly seem to hang on his every word.
