All honesty I think you could have used either/or. Alan Taylor or Steve Taylor, Alan Taylor (ex Norwich and WHU) had is fair share of detractors. Steve Taylor was fairly well liked first time around… but got plenty of stick, but not as much as when he returned for his second spell. For me, from the...

I was going to ask this on different thread to a particular person but thought it would be interesting to see what era everyone enjoyed the most ? I like your thought process, I don’t know who the particular person is, nor do I want to, out of interest though, has the particular person posted their...

Mullen, Dyche and Stan, probably in that order. Didn’t the enjoy the end of those eras but guess that’s eras end.

The *ahem* 'rivalry' was almost entirely one-sided and stoked up by mainly by their fanzine The Tea Party who realised no-one gave a stuff about Stockport so they invented a beef with Burnley just as something to hang jokes on. As said above us playing them quite often for a period helped fuel it, ...

No, no and no again

Just checked, Bellis was a journo and according to the NNN fanzine he wrote a rabble rousing article about Burnley being Stockport’s main rivals.

NL Claret

Wasn't it all down to one Stockport journo, Bellis I think his name was? He stoked up the locals into a froth about us but, as commented, we didn't really notice. There was a Bellis however I’m not sure if he was employed by Stockport , one of the fanzines at the time, might have been NNN or Marlon...

That said, its in a great spot for Summer gigs etc being a stones throw from the train station

Seen plenty of stones thrown at Edgeley Park, used to get rather lively down there on a Friday night in the 80s.

Actually I've just checked the league tables, and was amazed to find that after winning at Wembley in 1994, we obviously finished higher than them in 1994-95, but then they finished higher than us in the league every year till 2000-01. They were relegated from the Championship in 2002, then relegat...

I'm not sure Stockport's fortunes changed that day. Didn't they get promoted the following season? [Edit] No, it was three seasons later. But the slump came well after Wembley. Can see edit, we played them the season after relegation and relieved them of Ian Helliwell. Think their fortunes changed ...

Following the Luton game I spoke to supporters of all of the other North west PL clubs on my morning dog walk. Not one of them thought the Luton goal should have stood, all said it was a really poor decision by ref and var. Even the secondary var or whatever that is , thought it was a foul. The only...

I’m amazed how people can’t see how much better the team is with Muric in goal … Forget super saves .. the confidence it brings the defence to know he is there and his distribution is miles better .. Muric looks like a premier league keeper and Trafford looks like a young keeper learning his trade ...

NL Claret

I’d suggest you watch the first half. Muric set us off on a few attacks and was integral to the game plan with quick throws and passing with conviction. If I watch the first half will it suggest that we could have managed the game better after going 2 up against ten men. The team (not because of wh...

NL Claret

The whole ‘poor Brentford side’ is nonsense. You can only beat what’s in front of you, nevertheless, the whole side looked far more comfortable with Aro in the sticks. Similar to Forest in the cup, and Spurs in the cup, the whole team looks more fluid and everything is done a couple of seconds quic...

You don’t need do a poll. .. I heard the roar when Muric name was announced on the team sheet and everytime He cooly collected a cross . I don’t see how it’s boring :. This thread is about Muric .if you don’t want to talk about Muric don’t come on this thread or you run the risk of being bored . Ha...

Muric vs Trafford aside, all our weaknesses got showcased again, this league is a giant step up for our playing and coaching staff. Much more enjoyable to get behind them and hope for the best. Correct, only watched 2nd half and for latter parts we were naive which was summed up by Odobert crossing...

NL Claret

It’s not worried you we have not played our best keeper all season and when we do eventually play him when it’s virtually too late .. he has a blinder and we win ? .. I should be just happy we won but not wonder what could have been this season It is really really boring. I don’t see any point in w...

NL Claret

What’s worrying is to most Burnley fans it’s been a glaring mistake not starting with Muric and I think nobody can argue after todays performance we are right .. it’s just so depressing that he has been sat on the bench all season .. not injured .. raring to start where he finished last season FYI ...

NL Claret

I just hope my Optus channel sorts it self out, hardly watched any of the first half.

NL Claret

Big ask for Muric. Barely played this season. At least Brentford won’t just be able to lump crosses in under the bar. Glad to see Foster back in the squad and Ekdal I’m sure that Muric got loads of stick for been indecisive on crosses into the box last season. I suppose the longer one is out of the...

UTC posters and twitter clarets have been whinging all season about Muric not being no.1. Muric gets picked, UTC posters and twitter clarets continue to whinge. It doesn’t matter to some what happens, they are quite simply, whingers. What a sad existence they must lead. Irrelevant of who is in goal,...

Yes weren’t they also down to 9 men

I’m not sure come to think of it. I do remember a proper feisty FAC cup game on the Turf against them which ended up with them finishing with 9, think Monington was sent off too.

NL Claret

I regularly look at the teams in the lowest two leagues and think back to a time when we had to genuinely worried about clubs of that stature turning us over regularly. The last thirty years really have been a different world for Burnley fans; not expecting to win our big Lancashire derbies against...

In the 1st half we won a throw in near the halfway line down our right. Ward-Prowse claiming the throw was West Ham's then took a throw in to one of his colleagues, preventing us from taking a quick throw. The ref took no action against him at all apart from blowing his whistle and indicating it wa...

Great another Trafford post.

I hope Taylor doesn't play today, anyone know anything about Taylor's contract?

I actually think Taylor is better suited to our Prem style than Championship.

I’d love him to stay but I don’t think he will.

Our PL style is slow and laboured, time to move on from the likes of Taylor, Cork and Jay Rod.

NL Claret

2 left backs required for a start. Position not been addressed in last 2 transfer windows, Taylor gone from a championship bit part player to a PL regular only because of the lack of competition in this position.

I remember a job I had 5 years ago, had a terrible last 9 months but honestly feel like I learnt more in that 9 months than I have in 19 years working. I honestly wouldn't change it looking back now as its made me better at what I do even though I felt well out of my depth Think I get where he's co...

NL Claret

I didn’t go to the match but saw the highlights and I am surprised nobody else has mentioned up to now Taylor’s cowardice in turning his back and creating the deflection that wrong footed Trafford for Bournemouth’s second. He did the same vs Arsenal for their fourth and he’s not the only player in ...

NL Claret

A typical Charlie Taylor performance, laboured up and down the left, put one good cross in all game, rest were poor. Turned his back on shot for 2nd goal, I’ll go with a solid 4/10.

NL Claret

Whilst Trafford is taking all flak it helps other under performers to stay under the radar. Taylor for example, set the tone at Palace with a crackpot volleyed back pass, some did question Trafford’s heading ability, honestly they did. What was Taylor doing for the 2nd goal? Why did he turn his back...

NL Claret

One thing that is clear, some UTC posters have really lost the plot and James Trafford is spoiling their quality of life.

The level of knowledge of the art of goalkeeping is now above the levels we saw when Hart was 1st choice. Some comedy gold on here.

O’Shea would have benefited from a season playing alongside a seasoned pro, a bit like Cahill and McGreal. Instead he has had some awful partners

I’ve watched it numerous times and I think Muric quick pass was right to his feet .. it wasn’t a suicide pass and was way out of the area .. if a player who cost 18 million can’t control a ball to his feet I think he needs changing … let’s be honest the spurs strike was a worldly as well .. it was ...

NL Claret

VK is part of the problems we are having this season most definitely, we aren't learning as a team and the manager is part of that. I never said Muric was an experienced GK or even a perfect GK, he makes mistakes just like every other player, I just think that: A) Amdouni could and should have deal...

Not really - had some shaky moments early on no doubt then went from strength to strength. Integral part of our team and came up with some really big saves in big moments for us.

NL Claret

In all fairness though, it is clear VK has told the GKs to play like that, to start a quick counter. Amdouni failed to control an accurate ball. It’s not that clear to me, if it is though, VK the problem then? High risk tactics, experienced GK wouldn’t start a counter when most of team are out of p...

A young lad himself that's still learning, on another day we maybe go up the other end and score. Has that vision and impetus to make the team tick though, something Traff definitely doesn't have. Would Muric with his vision and impetus (based on a season in the championship including a game when h...

Muric wasn't directly responsible for the Spurs goal though, Amdouni should have looked after the ball, instead he got caught napping again. Personally I want Muric back in the starting XI to take the pressure off JT as much as anything else. We had just got away with one after a fast break from ou...

I’m glad to flick thru another JT thread where his transfer fee has increased again. Get Muric in, it’s not like his distribution cost us the game at Spurs, best overlook that. Football is so fickle, start of last season UTC posters were praying for Muric to make a mistake so they could proudly say ...
