What a night. My dad and his mates picked me up outside school, and we headed right there. I also remember a car load of Clarets smashing their car up on the way home. We stopped to help, but luckily it was only bumps and bruises. I think they were more upset about having to miss the last orders cel...

Of course people will express differing points of views, and it's all well and good, but the problem is when this spills over to persistent trolling. I've seen many a good forum become stale and moribund when this happens. The more interesting user base stop posting, and you get left with the dregs....

Billy Balfour

I can relax now and enjoy our Sunday evening.

Billy Balfour

Phew.

Billy Balfour

Everton shithouses.

Billy Balfour

Come on, ffs. I'm making a brew at HT and it would taste much better if Everton were getting beat.

Billy Balfour

He's great to watch.

Billy Balfour

I feel a bit dirty wanting Poo to win, but it has to be done.

Billy Balfour

Let's enjoy the moment, and this means resisting the urge to feed the needy troll. UTC.

Billy Balfour

We avoid Blackpool. Best to head a couple miles out from the place. Mid-morning, when the tide is out on a bright winter's day - park up just outside Fleetwood and walk along the beach into Cleveleys and have some fish & chips, either in a café or sat on the seafront. It's the small luxuries that ma...

I am not so sure on that point Billy

Why can't we just say ALK, Alan, Pace, Owner etc when we refer to them - why is their mormon religion, or the fact that he is American brought into it?

Fair enough, Clarethomer. Their religion and nationality shouldn't come into it.

Billy Balfour

He had a good first half, and we know there's much more to come from him when he gets his full confidence back in front of the goal. That miss at Norwich will play on his mind, given what's gone on since then.

Billy Balfour

Just because some people massive issues with the buyout, doesn't mean they are parochial inbreds. I don't think there's a single person who posts here who doesn't want Pace/AKL to succeed. After all, their success is also ours too, likewise with failure. Thing is though, should it be the latter - it...

and if ever you wanted a demonstration of the capriciousness of a lot of those who seek to invest in football for a return then this is it. Hot after a win, cold after a defeat. Insanity.

This is why some clubs burn through managers like they're throwing logs on a burner.

Not really
The comments section is an open sewer, and the more controversial a topic gets, the more of a sewer it becomes

Radio phone-ins are just as bad. I don't really care what the man in the street thinks, because I've met him, and he's a prick.

Billy Balfour

I'll take your word for it.

Billy Balfour

People are taking the **** out of it because it's so cringe-worthy.

Billy Balfour

Christ. It's was a joke, Dsr.

Billy Balfour

I wouldn't wish this on anyone. Just goes to shows, doesn't it? You can have all the money in the world, yet life is the most precious thing we have. My heart goes out to them.

Billy Balfour

Kompany for me, massively so. Can't see it happening though.

Billy Balfour

I love seeing Steve Bruce all het up.

Billy Balfour

This Forest v WBA is certainly an eventful game.

Why on earth would we want this potato headed wig wearing granny sh@gging ( well ANY sh@gging ) booze addled , thick as mince, inexperienced scouse simpleton ??

But apart from that, what don't you like about him?

Billy Balfour

Won't somebody think of the children? Those poor, poor kids, though. Parents are supposed to nurture, not screw you up with a lifetime's worth of issues.

Good grief, to put it kindly.

Billy Balfour

Let's have it right; we haven't got the foggiest as to what's gone on and this will continue until one, or both, parties give their side of the story. Best to work with what we have, and all I see is knee-jerk sackings, given the timing and that there appears to be no plan in place. I'll judge AKL o...

Billy Balfour

I'd love Kompany to come to us. He's done a good job at Anderlecht and has all the right connections. Citeh didn't want to lose him, and he was offered various roles, but he wanted to plough his own field, so to speak. He's on excellent terms with Citeh and its owners, so this would also be a boon. ...

OT: Elwac, cheers for what you said on the other thread. Thought I'd say it on here rather than awaken the thread.

Billy Balfour

Shaggy, to be fair. I'm glad you started this thread. It's made me realise that I need a break from this place. Cheers.

Billy Balfour

It would appear that there are people who support Dyche more than Burnley such is the emotional pain and outburst at the events. Out of all the threads in all the world, I never through I'd read one as needy as this one. But still, good luck with your catch. trolls-fishing-horrid-troll-fish-nets-ve...

Billy Balfour

No plan, no clue.

Billy Balfour

As a footnote the feeling in the corporate boxes is one of relief Only 24 hour after the Dyche's sacking and you know this? Not only that, but we've not had a home game for you to go round and canvas the opinions of the 'corporate boxes'. So, you're either Mystic Meg, making it up as you go along, ...

Billy Balfour

What a pathetic response. We are Burnley FC supporters, not Dyche FC supporters. If it bothers you that much that people aren't as bothered as you that he's gone, why not hand your season ticket back in and follow Dyche with wherever he goes? I think you should take a look at your own post before b...

Why not, if it's in the public domain? Link or it didn't happen.

Billy Balfour

Walking up Pendle with my lad. The phone rang and my wife told me. At first, I thought she was taking the mick. I had to look on Sky Sports News. Our lad was heartbroken. He's only 13 and Dyche is all he's ever known.

If pace has the hire & fire model & it's successful with continuity it can't be a bad thing it keeps everybody on their toes

Comment of the week and there have been some top contenders in this round, especially today. Well done.

Billy Balfour

I gave up reading the first post when I read the 'balls of steel' comment.

Buma, here's some advice. To be a good troll, it's best not to be so blatant. HTH.

Billy Balfour

The premise of that Daily Mail article belongs on Fantasy Island.

Billy Balfour

Devastating news. We've just sacked a bloke who has performed minor miracles at our club at EPL level. Also, two Championship promotions on his CV as well. Utter, utter madness. I've said all along that we have to see where we are by November next season. Goes to show how desperate the current owner...

Cheers for the info and recommendations, Elwac.

Elwac, seeing how we got onto talking about local history - what do you reckon of this book? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Northerners-History-Ice-Age-Present-ebook/dp/B09G9HJCC8/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2IN6H2PHTDP04&keywords=northerners+a+history%2C+from+the+ice+age+to+the+present+day&qid=1649837180&s=books&sp...

Aye, the banner on Sunday did not mention Manchester or Liverpool, or indeed MCFC/LFC. The 'White Lives Matter Burnley' banner didn't require a Sherlock Holmes. Mentioning Burnley is a bit of a giveaway. Also, a quick glance at social media or football message boards is all that was required in orde...

Good old jakub. The man who, if his neighbour's house was on fire, would be complaining that the fire brigade weren't using half of the hoses on his house. I think he'd be ranting about the fire engines not being horse-drawn, while also cursing the internal-combustion engine as clearly some form of...

Billy Balfour

I don't mind it, and it's not as bad as a bunch of middle-aged blokes chanting Oh Burnley, is wonderful... at the top of their voices. It just looks sad.

Billy Balfour

We've done well to stay in the EPL this long, given our very limited resources. The scary thing is that we go down with massive debts. We are ****** if we don't get back before the parachute money runs out.

Billy Balfour

Football clubs should not be taken over using heavily leveraged buyouts. They are not only businesses, they are also massive community assets.

Billy Balfour

I reckon Dyche has got until the end of November if, though most likely when, we go down. If we aren't in the promotion pack, he'll be potted.

Billy Balfour

Warnock announcing his retirement is a bit like Groundhog Day.
