Pace obviously isn't the world's greatest footy fan, but even he can see that this is complete shite.

Time to go Vinnie.

Unfortunately he might not be a footy fan but he’s a VK fanboy

My worry is that VK is here no matter what

Shocking team selection - tick

Play absolutely horrendously - tick

Players don’t run and put effort in - tick

Collapse after conceding - tick

Just a standard Vincent Kompany afternoon. Got to go now.

ksrclaret

Cannot believe that Kompany said the players have fire in their bellies in his press conference this week.

I’ll be absolutely relieved when his tenure comes to an end. Painful and clueless.

ksrclaret

I personally think this is a much more balanced team and in theory should make us more competitive. JBG give us much more with his work ethic and tactical nous. I’m just amazed Amdouni has managed to keep his place. This is a massive game for VK. He’s got to get a result Why does he have to get a r...

ksrclaret

Kompanys stubbornness and reluctance to change is mind boggling. I don't know what Cullen, Muric or Benson have to do to start. To their mind now it must seem impossible. Sad Absolutely. These players must know their time is up with Burnley. Just got thrashed 5-0 with some of the worst attitudes we...

ksrclaret

I cannot understand that selection for the life of me, but I hope VK is right and they manage 3 points. UTC! I don't rate Tresor at all but we need clarity on what the situation is there. Is he injured? Is there some secret clause where if we don't use him we can send him back? Has he got a bad att...

ksrclaret

I saw a few posters after the Arsenal defeat suggesting that Kompany had to reflect and change things.

Well...

ksrclaret

I think he he claim to have fared a bit better than Rooney at Birmingham, but it’s another shocking appointment all the same.

Their fans never took to him from what I can tell.

ksrclaret

The thing you've got to remember about online public forums is that nobody owns the space and sometimes you have to be prepared to see things you'd rather not. As long as nobody is being abusive or breaking the law, no single poster gets to dictate how threads should run. It's been a while since we'...

ksrclaret

That's just such unbelievably low expectations and honestly sounds like you've only followed us from afar for at most 4 years, more likely since VK left Belgium to come here. That's exactly what it is with Antonini and he's open about how he switched from Anderlecht to Burnley when VK took us over....

Of course you’re on here loving it, go on lad get stuck in, this topics right up your anti BFC street.

He's just taking the p1ss out of Antonini who suggests that Burnley have always been a laughing stock.

If there is anyone anti BFC on this thread, it's him. He's not even a fan.

ksrclaret

1. BFC engage with the community again
2. BFC start honouring the traditions of the club again
3. BFC recruit players who want to play for the club and give 100%

ksrclaret

Both Sheff Utd and Burnley really ought to reimburse their season ticket holders this year.

ksrclaret

The best thing about relegation is it won’t be long before VK fangirls like Antonini clear off.

Still, he’s been good for some cracking conspiracy theories. Laughing stock is certainly the phrase.

That's just because that's the team we've just played, they're are others

I can think of Rice, Grealish, and Caicedo. Am I missing any?

None of those are worth more than we paid for our entire team though.

Arsenal

Yep, thought so.

ksrclaret

It's not 100m, but even if it was, quite a few, including today's opposition The money we've spent on our squad in total will be in excess of £100m. We're not a club run on buttons and we're entitled to expect that we can compete at this level given the vast sums we've shelled out. How many teams h...

Different level, playing against teams who spend more on one player than we do as a team, is it really that difficult to work out?

This was a fair argument to use in the Dyche days.

Not anymore. How many teams spend in excess of £100m on one player?

ksrclaret

Sorry was it only make it hell if we played Sheff Utd or Luton in the first two games? We’ve beat plenty of ‘big’ teams under Coyle and Dyche early on. We didn't even need to beat them to give the fans something to get behind. Not letting Villa, Spurs, and Chelsea walk through us to score might hav...

ksrclaret

Those goals again on MOTD. Just wow.

Their fifth. I hope nobody was injured by O'Shea's and Delcroix's tools as they chucked them away.

And to think some people think the effort is there.

ksrclaret

Kompany - needs to reflect on how it was he picked a team with both Amdouni and Odobert in it against Arsenal. I think everyone needs to reflect and use this as a watershed. Certainly VK who must know he’s got the balance of the team badly wrong this season but needs to pick a team which acknowledg...

The defensive coaching at our football club is inept.

To use parlance from our resident Rovers fan StayingDown4Ever, I'm afraid that the original poster has absolutely humiliated himself here.

ksrclaret

Palace were just about to sack him as well, according to reports.

ksrclaret

Why do people assume that running the ball out, and losing possession, is all on the players head. We've made this same mistake, so often, that it should be obvious that players are instructed to play this way by VK. Most of our players would probably love to put their laces through the ball, but i...

ksrclaret

Beyer ought to return with a stint on the bench. He's struggled with the physicality of the Premier League massively, and he's lost the ball numerous times in dangerous positions trying to run out with it and getting caught. Before we signed Assignon, there was a strong case of moving him to right b...

You expect with every manager the odd few perplexing calls (from the outside looking in), but as the season has gone on it has become increasingly difficult to reconcile the manager's decisions from last season with the manager's decisions from this season.

ksrclaret

I doubt there's time to collect the pics and put something together before any announcement about season tickets, which will be this season The point is that it might get people all nostalgic now in preparation for the season ticket news coming out soon. It doesn't really matter when the photos mig...

It says its for next season

So are the season tickets

ksrclaret

The cynic in me believes this is a play on the old nostalgia element before they launch the (likely grim) season ticket news.

ksrclaret

I think it's too late for a Heaton/ Hart moment, unfortunately. The time for that was October or November, but that's not to say that Muric shouldn't come in on a point of principle, although I think just about Burnley fan has given up on sensible team selections being made this season. On Trafford,...

ksrclaret

Arsenal could genuinely be 5 or 6 up here. Their set pieces are very dangerous. Yikes.

ksrclaret

Obafemi had a decent first half when Millwall were on top, he perhaps could have done better with a couple of shots at goal. Second half I don't recall him touching the ball before being subbed around the hour mark. Be interesting to see what happens to him in the summer. My guess would be that he l...

The fact that you use terms like “KPIs” just shows how far you are away from reality. But you crack on with your view as to why you believe he’s coming. Maybe they are going to have a brainstorm or a thought shower with Vincent as to why have been a bit sh-it this season Unfortunately KPIs is a ter...

ksrclaret

Interestingly (this is genuinely not accusatory) when you saw my examples of Trafford being attributed with 100% blame where others were involved, did this mean you judged my Muric example as me being the counter and suggesting him being 100% at fault? I only ask as this would support my original t...

ksrclaret

I didnt clearly imply anything. Read it again. I was highlighting the inconsistencies of those who seem to promote this idea Trafford makes mistakes every week. I gave four examples where Trafford had been firmly blamed for concession of goals where others were involved. I then gave an example of a...

ksrclaret

To be clear, I never suggested this was 100% Muric's fault but he certainly has a part to play. Genuine question here - how does this fit with what you said about him throwing it directly to Porro? I appreciate that you later corrected the record after I pointed it out, but clearly you did imply th...

Your comments of 'pious waffle' along with your 'tumbleweed' hissy fits at slow responses, only serve to look bad on you rather than me. Engage in discussion without your insults if you have the capacity. Apologies if you were insulted. As I said at the start, I've got nothing against Trafford, but...

ksrclaret

Yeah, you've already had one hissy fit already. Best not to make yourself look more silly for arguing the difference in a pass to a marked man with Porro stood next to him being vastly different to a pass to Porro himself, when the result was the same. All I'm saying is when you write a post callin...

ksrclaret

Still Amdouni’s fault. He could’ve controlled it normally but tried to flick it around Porro instead whilst on the run. He’s done this lots of times this season. Unfortunately, you'll not get anywhere with this, because the Trafford/ Muric debate has become like British politics. Both sides absolut...

Sorry.

Threw it toward Amdouni (marked by Porro) who was was unable to touch it round his man, who went on to fire it into our net.

Yes, that sounds much more like what actually happened.

Just shows how easy it is to exaggerate a mistake from somebody when you're looking for it.

ksrclaret

Tumbleweed, then. Go figure.

ksrclaret

Given it was a 50/50 at best, are you suggesting Muric is absolved of blame? In fairness that game Muric did throw one directly to a Spurs player and passsed one straight to Kulusevski on the edge of the box. The point I am making is that if Trafford has the slightest connection to a conceded goal,...

ksrclaret

Ironically, when Muric throws a ball to the feet of an attacking player who scores as a result, thats the fault of our outfield player. Go figure. I've got no real problem with Trafford, but given your post is aimed at correcting misconceptions and calling out biases, could you please confirm which...

I don’t know if that is true but I wouldn’t be surprised if that was the reason CT was pretty patient and lenient with me. I broke the rules several times you’re correct but I don’t think moaning is against the rules. Here’s what you’re not seeing, Newcastle has done nothing but moan regardless of ...

I wasn’t whining 2 games into Dyches first ever PL season tho, was I?

Tella was never available for £15million.
For all we know Tella didn't want to sign a permanent deal at Burnley.
There's a lot of stuff being made up here.

If you can't beat them, join them?
