One player (defender!) at £20 million would have made more sense!
Wouldn't have improved our goal tally much though.
Truth is it's virtually impossible to rebuild a squad capable of competing above the bottom 5...6 in the PL on what we have spent.

Dream on bill about us not being down. We could have spent the same amount of money and brought in experienced players instead of one or two of these ill equipped ' players of the future' as you call them. The lack of PL quality has cost us dearly. Go on then just for fun, name me 20 players at an ...

No. With these players no manager would have kept us up. The wrong players are at a club expecting to remain in the top division So many changes in 3 windows, obviously on what would (by anyone with a brain) be seen as a very low spend in PL terms. We've tried to bring in young players as investmen...

The Muric Trafford debate does not interest me. However its unbelievable that it took until 29 game of our season to try a new GK, when we have conceded so many goals and lost 20 games. VK needs to be made accountable for this , alongside giving Cullen the cold shoulder for so long, Think Trafford ...

No chance. We nearly threw it away against 10 men and that would not have surprised me as the die has already been cast. I'm happy with the 3 points obviously and Kompany having the courage to admit he needed to change goalkeepers. Other than that we still have too much inexperience and mistakes wa...

It would look better if we hadn’t dropped 20 points from winning positions - but let’s blame it all on VAR I don’t disagree that VAR has cost us SOME points, but let’s be honest we are in this position from our own doing VAR apologised for the Forest error, and just about everyone in football saw t...

It is really really boring. I don’t see any point in worrying about the past so no it hasn’t worried me. Perhaps you should do a poll before being the spokesperson for Burnley fans. .

Might be Monday for the big decision but the Prem won't want to lose Everton and Forest, so say minus 6 points then an appeal might see them both be given just enough points to keep them both up.
But we will be back in the scramble, I'm optimistic.

Would look so much better if we hadn’t had the points against Forest and Luton stolen from us by shocking VAR decisions
It would (should) be : Forest 24
Luton 21
Burnley 21
Blades 14

Forever remember one game against I want to say City or Villa where he was pegging it to a loose ball in their third and his top speed looked like he was in slow motion. Loved Boyd but he wasn't exactly a dynamic counter attacker
Yes, I loved him too. Really important player for us at the time.

This is farcical
Blatantly inside and blatantly fouled how is Bond struggling with this.
Vitinho once again with absolutely elite movement god if he could cross or finish what a player
Still young enough to improve.

You don’t need to be a poster to see the animosity between the Trafford and Muric clans.
Or to stoke the fire, congrats on that.

Tarkowski teaches Braithwaite and the wet behind the ears guy gets the job! Southgate is obsessed with young players who are yet to have all the ingredients.
That squad doesn't strike me as being particularly young, more of a blend really.

So if a keeper makes a save but the rebound is put in isn't actually a save!? 😂 So if a keeper 'saves' a penalty but they tap the rebound in that goes down as a goalkeeper error and not a penalty save!? That's a new one to me. If your team is losing 6-0 and the opposition player kicks the ball in h...

Did you know a spade was a spade? A bad save is a bad save, a goalkeeper error, a goalkeeper mistake whatever you wanna call it but you can't big it up in to something it isn't. Stop clutching a straws. A goalkeeping error is not a save is it. A completed save, however easy you may think it is, can...

Or JT fulfills the potential which the national set-up believes in and becomes an absolutely brilliant EPL standard goalkeeper?

It really isn't regarding saves though, if a goalkeeper has an easy shot to save that he can hold or parry away from goal but saves it and palms it back to the strikers feet for a tap in then that in any book is a bad save
Or an absolutely brilliant stop with unfortunate consequences?

All ifs and buts, but for me whilst we have had some poor decisions, we would be peed off had we scored the Ings goal disallowed on Sunday. We play 38 games a season and we are focusing on the VAR decisions that have gone against us Yes, that's OK in the broader sense. But 4 points lost to 2 of our...

Depends what your defining as a good goal, personally it's a good finish, a clumsy OG I wouldn't class as a good goal It really is as simple as this. Every goal you score is a good one, every save your goalkeeper makes is a good one: they are the elements that decide the score. OK; you may look for...

We’d only be four points behind had their goal on the Turf been ruled out.
Yes, and the two stolen at Forest would see us very close to both them and Luton.
