If you can’t see the difference between us, open your eyes. I support VK and I wanted Dyche gone at the end. You have supported neither and want both gone. You revel in Burnleys defeats, it doesn’t matter who the manager is, you’re going to criticise, it doesn’t matter where we are in the league yo...

We’re playing away against Liverpool mate, where’s the perspective? We’re a newly promoted side losing 3-1 at Anfield. Where’s the shock or surprise? We’ve done really well today and competed, missed two huge chances to make it 2-2 Perspective works both ways. We were playing Liverpool yes, but: We...

This game was crying out for Benson 10-15 mins ago. It's Liverpool away and we've worked hard to stay in the game and ended up giving it away with the same crap all season. Still don't know our best 11, still giving stupid goals away due to individual errors and still losing balls on the edge of our...

Esteve is quality. He’s got ‘it’.

Yeah I think he looks like a massive upgrade in terms of quality. Obviously still early but I'm really excited about him.

boyyanno

We need to push. Get Benson on ASAP.

Was Elliott not offside anyway? It looked very close and the replay I saw wasn't convincing

What a strange post. No it isn't the font of facts. But it does show media sources that are relevant from previous times and dates. Maybe I'll drive to the library next time for the physical records eh?

It was a monumental and despicable set of events. Alas, that doesn't make it a conspiracy theory. Well, why? I don't think you can go back in hindsight and say it wasn't because it turned out to be true. Up until recently many people have challenged, and have continued to challenge the official lin...

boyyanno

Was it? I've followed it for many years and don't remember that. Well yes...and no. Obviously it was just a recent example, and I can't pinpoint a day in time where someone said "this is a conspiracy theory". But logic and evidence suggests that's exactly how it was treated. For example Postmaster ...

One word : nonsense!!

Thanks for your intelligent input.

Would you care to elaborate or did one word expand your intellect for the day?

boyyanno

I think it's just that certain people tend to believe a lot of consipracy theories. Rather than believing the official account of any given event they choose to disbelieve out of principle. I don't disagree with this at all. It's all about making an informed opinion and being able to hold balanced ...

boyyanno

Just making a point here that I'm sure most people will recognise. You know that Post Office thing that's been in the news a bit recently, do you know what that was once branded as? Yep you've got it- A conspiracy theory. Being easily lead and lacking capacity to make an informed decision could lead...

The group that Dyche had was preforming better than the sum of it's parts. That's why I was happy for him to stay even when we got relegated- because he was still doing a good job with what he had available. When he left he had stopped getting the best out of the group (in my opinion) but little inv...

This thread is a perfect example of how toxic this board has become at times. Number of posters on the first page just laughing between themselves and mocking others for feeling how they do.

Was a bit tongue in cheek from me after a few comments I’d seen on here lately about going backwards and ‘facts’ that we haven’t improved. I’m aware it doesn’t alone conclude that. But nonetheless quite interesting to compare the two games from that perspective. Basically we did a lot better in las...

boyyanno

Had a slightly larger xG than City at the Etihad (1.27 v 1.54). People will scoff, I know, but it’s quite rare that’s happens. As a comparison, in the FA cup last season, when we lost 6-0, the xG was 3.55 v 0.48. Clearly a factual, statistical based improvement which ends the debate we have gone ba...

boyyanno

I know we've got a few out but I thought the decision to go with 2 in the middle today was a bad one.

Amdouni should have come out and I'd have added the extra midfielder personally.

boyyanno

I broadly agree but maintain that at just gone 25 he still has a couple of years to improve yet. He'll never be a Brazil international but he's still capable of developing into a player at this level but probably needs to get a move on. His attacking movement and positioning/runs are exceptional he...

boyyanno

Agree I don’t think he’s good enough for the PL but he’s definitely had some good games and works his absolute nut sack off for the team. I don’t think Taylor/Roberts are PL level either, so Vitinho isn’t the only one. Yep that's how I feel about it. People should save the vitriol for the ones that...

boyyanno

It's fair enough to say you don't think Vitinho is good enough, it's not fair enough to revel in it like some are doing.

Very poor from supposed "fans".

boyyanno

What, exactly, does he offer? How does he offer more than Roberts? Is it how weak he is defensively? How he cowers away from diagonal balls and ducks out of the way? Is it how he fails to keep the ball well and often looks like he can’t play simple passes? Is it for all the chances he creates in th...

Loan with an obligation if certain conditions are met I think.

Remind us all again who it was who was saying he wasn’t training properly? I remember reading it but can’t remember who it was. I did reply to them but my post was deleted for some reason - probably because whoever it was who said it humiliated themself. Don't think we need to go down that route. I...

Some absolutely ludicrous reactions to rumours on here. Hopefully those people will be back on praising Kompany and the club for doing the right thing if he stays after deadline day tomorrow. When he was being sold it was all Benson kopps out of training and isn't good enough stuff. Now he's stayin...

No debates or discussions in this thread. News only.

Can you read? It actually says no bickering or "pointless" debates. I assume unpointless debating is still allowed.

But thanks for making me fall foul of both rules

The stadium is functional as it is in my opinion. It needs renovating yes, but I don't know what's so bad about the rest of it really? It always makes me feel weird when some people say they don't like getting wet. It's an outdoor sport ffs. The catering could be improved without doing anything to t...

Acting like managers never make the wrong decision is absolutely barmy. We've just had one that achieved minor miracles with us and yet I seem to read most days about how he amassed an ageing squad and left us in a mess. Weird how the ones who think VK couldn't possibly be wrong because he's had som...

McGreal, and Sinclair too, were key players for us in the early Cotterill days and I reckon both Cahill and Duff would consider them key players in their careers from whom they learned so much.

Yeah you're right about Sinclair, was he captain for a while too while we were struggling?

boyyanno

I also agree a large part of the problem is about how it's being applied. You only need to listen to the audio footage they release to be able to identify issues with it. They carry a bias in to every decision. The clear and obvious thing needs doing away with first in my opinion, if it's not the co...

boyyanno

Defour and Barton are two recent ones that spring to mind. You could tell the difference immediately. After a while you could see Tripps was destined for better things too. I know someone has mentioned Cahill and he was obviously class but McGreal also stood out as someone who had played at a higher...

We've already triggered the clause to buy him, according to reports "The report claims that the transfer of the winger to Turf Moor contained a clause stating that the Clarets would complete the full purchase of the player should he feature in five Premier League matches." https://www.sportsmole.co...

Tresor is already a permanent signing.

Thankyou, I thought so.

I don’t see anyone saying Tresor will be off :lol: Hopefully we’re not obliged to buy him if relegated though. Amdouni I think it depends. If he bags 10 over the season I think there will be suitors in a relegated team. Everyone knows he’d score more in a better side. But from our perspective maybe...

You said that multi club ownerships being able to loan players to their other clubs as screwing the pyramid, when it doesn’t affect the pyramid because owners can’t own multiple clubs in the UK, that vote wasn’t about the English football pyramid. It was a vote that allows Man City to loan players ...

He’s been injured. Gets injured and kops out of training continuously. And with respect, you don’t know who is and who isn’t as good as him at this level, as he hasn’t played! In fact, given others have been ahead of him, when he is fit, suggests others are better at this level. That's an embarrass...

The issue is you do not need to have a partnership with another club to send our young players on loan for game time. We already have lots of players out on loan and the ones who are going to Dundee have been on loan elsewhere. So it’s a very valid question for all the reasons included on this thre...

Does anyone care if Alan Pace says hello to fans pre match day? Makes me cringe that people judge the bloke off that as oppose to how he runs the club.

Was certainly happy some were OOC, certainly not Mee, Tarks, Vydra maybe. Having so many OOC in one summer, particularly our main CB pairing, and the general age profile of the squad was what I viewed as mismanagement.

Well, that’s maybe a circular argument because some will argue Garlick would’ve invested in younger players but wasn’t prepared to keep renewing older players contracts - cutting Lennon against his wishes, rumours he/Rigg wanted Wilson by Dyche wouldn’t sanction it, etc. Either way, he/they left Le...

If you think about it, it was actually quite clever business. It gave us a backup striker for the last 6 months of last season with a very low or even no upfront fee. If we didnt go up we then had a good Champ striker as backup for about 3 million. If we went up its still 3 million but thats nothin...
