I'd take that please Burnmark if I could meet outside the ground. Can't get to Cliviger in the morning. Ta. Not sure how we would organise.

It's a good job VK doesn't share this complacent attitude. I don't think anyone is being complacent. Just commenting on the way we are playing and our standard compared to the standard of the opposition. How about answering the question StanTastic? Can you point to a promotion season where we have ...

I don't think we ever have had it this easy in terms of the gulf between us and most sides in the league. I do wonder if it shows that the gap between the Premier League and the Championship is as wide as it's ever been. Just look at Jack Cork. It's like a stroll in the park for him. Having said tha...

Crazy. Going off what you've put this would be the lineup:

Tella
Churlinov Twine JBG
Westwood Bastien
Taylor McNally CJER Roberts
BPF

That side would give the 1st XI a run for its money!

Sunderland fans really do deserve better.

Scott Parker is a strange individual. Seems extremely uptight and edgy around people. Doesn't inspire confidence.

welsbyswife

Wonder how much Smith has made out of his pay offs from Norwich and Villa? Probably enough to be very comfortably off.

welsbyswife

If you look at the top flight managers they tend to be getting younger. Or at least have a modern outlook. I love Dyche but he is old school. Maybe more suited to working with older players.

Dyche is only 51....
There are older managers who haven't changed a great deal and are still able to the job

Like who?

welsbyswife

Managing people myself I have noticed a big difference in mentality between my age group and those in their early 20s. I struggle with it. Although people like Dyche and Smith have had success I am wondering if they can connect with players in that age range. Maybe a less old school mentality is nee...

Stranger things happen. I only joined Twitter to read about the Ukraine situation because mainstream news was so far behind. Never posted on it though!

As another Burnley supporting ‘Yorkie’, I don’t really have the Yorkshire / Lancashire animosity - maybe a bit of friendly rivalry. That said, I’m always pleased to get back over the border to see proper stone instead of red brick! We’re all very fortunate to live in and around Yorkshire and Lancas...

Magic word?

welsbyswife

He was a stylish player, no doubt about it. Which makes it surprising he would set a team up like that. No intent going forward at all. Perhaps he will become the new George Graham. Classy player but dull manager.

I have the pleasure of Mr Rachel's company at the game tomorrow. Kompanyball (and a free ticket) is dragging them all out of the woodwork.

Mr Rachel might dip his hand in his pocket and get you a pint at half time TFC. They are long pockets though so don't get your hopes up

welsbyswife

Agree about Cork. Think I've enjoyed watching him this season as much as anyone. Really showing what a classy player he is. He must be loving the new style. He does tend to fade after about 70 mins though.

welsbyswife

They got the verdict, but not justice. I disagree with welsbyswife in trying to find mitigation, but neither do I think she should be hung drawn and quartered. She fled home to escape justice. She’s been helped to do that by the American government. Rules have been bent and manipulated to keep her ...

welsbyswife

Not the punishment that the crime deserves, in my eyes. Perhaps it would be just if she hadn’t fled and had just come clean at the outset. Huge credit to Harry Dunne’s family for pursuing this and at least achieving some form of justice for their son. They’ve fought and fought and hopefully they ca...

welsbyswife

Plus, the fact that she scarpered doesn't automatically mean she doesn't regret what happened. Maybe she panicked and then got back to base and the politics took over.

welsbyswife

I'm not defending her as such but just asking who gains out of locking her up? Would you have her hung drawn and quartered if you could?

welsbyswife

Sordid affair all round but where does this eye for an eye mentality get anyone? It's not like she deliberately set out to kill the lad.

I suspect she doesn't really care about what happened either as she knows she's got away with it.

Why do you suspect that? Do you know anything about the woman? Tabloid reaction.

welsbyswife

As sad and wrong as it is it's how international politics works. Always a balance between personal interest and looking after your own. I get that the lady broke the law and the family's search for justice but at the end of the day it was a terrible accident. I'm not sure locking someone up is the a...

Remember going to The Old Showground towards the end of the "Orient" season. What a crumbling pile that was. Also had some good away days at Glandford Park - lots of fireworks going off one year

. Shame to see them where they are. As for Botham, he's full of ****.

Somewhat ironically Wasps plays at Darlington on Saturday at the doomed arena built by that crook George Reynolds. Would serve Ashley right if his games backfired and he ends up with a similar white elephant on his hands.

Seems a terrible situation for the fans. If the club and Ashley are playing brinkmanship as someone suggested neither of them have a particularly strong hand!! He owns a stadium with no obvious alternative use and they are skint! That part of Coventry isn't the best so I can' imagine there would be ...

Do not expect anything from Belgium against Croatia. The atmosphere between some players is awful. Courtois and De Bruyne don't speak to each other for private reasons. Batshuayi and Lukaku are not friends. Hazard and Trossard don't talk to each other. According to L'équipe,Lukaku had to intervene ...

Why anyone would say we should build a side around Declan Rice is beyond me. Ok against lesser opposition but as soon as the standard steps up the game passes him by. Not good enough.

I only see the Stan very occasionally because I have a season ticket at Ashington these days and if I am not watching them I go to Morpeth, Blyth, Bedlington or sometimes watch games in the Northern Alliance. Some familiar names on that list Ashington. My grandad was from Bedlington before he moved...

Why do they do it? It's like Brenda Rogers with his little pad. I'd bet the none of what they write makes any sense or is of any use at all the day after. Football types trying to look studious

Anyone would be an improvement on Dion Dublin. Opening match of the tournament and the BBC wheel him out. One of the worst punditry displays I've ever heard. No research, didn't know the players, clearly knew very little about the teams and just trotted out the same tired lines. Much like Shearer do...

Never watched but happy to offer an opinion and refer to it as junk tv.

Similar approach to player transfers. Like the O'Hare link. Plenty the other night saying we shouldn't sign him because we don't need another winger!

I travel all over the place for work and Burnley Town Centre is doing a lot better than a lot of similar sized places. Lucky to have so many brilliant parks for the size of the town as well. In terms of improvements I think the area between Asda/ the new college buildings and town is grubby and poor...

Most forward players who play on towards 40 tend to drop back and rely on their experience rather than pace to play a more creative role. He seems unwilling or unable to do that possibly because his ego tells him the whole team should be set up around him. But as Tricky Trev points out, his legs hav...

welsbyswife

Clearly not a terrible player but if you think Utd are stronger with him in the team you are deluded. He's on the wane.

welsbyswife

I wonder if it even crosses his mind that he might not be good enough anymore. Or maybe what made him great also prevents him from seeing it.
