Barkley and Townsend - could have had them both. But no, Tresor and Ramsey instead. In other words, tried and tested experienced Premier League players rather than novices. Burnley's huge error. Luton's sensible choice Blimey Is my opinion unpopular? Popular probably, full of hindsight 100% Barkley...

Was tempted at weekend to have a do at Rovers going down priced at 4/1 but saw they had 2 home games this week and decided not to. They are now 100/30 after last night and after Plymouth on Saturday there can't be many around them with a tougher run in. Boro away Ipswich home Sunderland away Southam...

I do find it interesting that a thread on cryptocurrencies is allowed when all other types of investing are instantly shut down. Probably because none on here are asking people to email them so they help with financial investments, especially when the person asking has no idea. What happened to Mur...

Hamer has actually not been as bad as your making out. 6 goals contributions in 25 apps from CM certainly isn’t to be sniffed at. Has he been a world beater no, but neither has anyone we signed either. 2 goals and 3 assists he has this season, so less goals than Brownhill. Maybe Brownhill isn't to ...

He will certainly have a better understanding of an element of our fan base, just as the owners will.

The 3-2 there under Coyle was brilliant, comfortably Chris Eagles best game for us. I can't see there being quite the same buzz about the place this time. Still going to go though, just because it's a convenient day out. Yeah he was excellent that day. Sheffield is a decent day out too and a better...

It might be boring to you. It is just to illustrate that Sheff Utd have spent Jack shite and we have spent circa £110 million excluding what we have got to pay for the ineffectual Mike Tresor at the end of the season and we are just as bad as them. That’s all. They did sign Gustavo Hamer though and...

Other than the Turf it was the first ground I ever saw us win at. That was in the FA Cup 6th round in 1962. There have only been two wins there since. I knew we didn't win there that much, and having been at off top of my head the FA Cup game 2-2, a 3-2 win there and a 3-3 draw I would never have g...

You have to worry about people who search for the opinion of an odious vile turd like Richard Keys.

I imagine most people know more about being a decent person than Keys, takes a certain kind of person who is told by their wife she has cancer that the first thought is I fancy my daughters mate.

Ask yourself this - if you were in legal trouble and you went to see a lawyer - serious business - would you be more likely to hire someone wearing a suit and tie or someone in a baseball cap and tee-shirt? If you are owner or manager of Burnley FC it should be serious business too. Have we ever be...

Does Tresor get left out as he has already been sold and they don't want him injured to prevent losing out on a dividend ?

Nope.

It may seem trivial but there is a serious point. Serious people dress appropriately and the attire of leaders sets a tone for the organization as a whole. A manager wearing a crisp white shirt and a tie in club colours, for example, - sends a clear message and sets a tone and standard. We currentl...

I’d just like to see some football that gets me off my seat, not the CBs passing it between each other or going right back to the keeper every time we get in a half decent position.

Most home games this season have had fans getting off their seats, just after the away team gets their 3rd

I get a feeling you get many feelings about things which are way off the mark? I think you are wrong, however the easy way to “out” these noisy ones then is to ask them which stand, row and seat they sit in.

That reminder has probably just made up hundreds of minds not to renew.

And the club will be better off without people like that at games.

I get the feeling some of the noisy ones who will claim they won't be renewing don't have a season ticket in the first place.

It is a strange process that by caring you prolong someones suffering.

It should be legal and not leave people having to go to places like Switzerland to do this, leaving family members open to charges for helping someone do so by going with them.

Echo the comments really sad news. A very likeable man who made enjoyable programmes, they both come across as 2 very decent normal guys who enjoyed themselves.

Always comes across as attention hungry.

Agree with the comments about talking on behalf of others, people seem to do in the hope some will come with them on their whinge. For record I feel as engaged/disengaged with the club as I have always done.

Alan Simonsen did indeed play for Charlton in this game. The visitors actually had 2 players sent off in the 2nd half - Mark Aizlewood & Derek Hales (Hales had also been sent off against us in the away game earlier in the season, thereby recording an unusual double). We were only 2-1 up at half tim...

Odd about the stadium and crowds. The old ground used to be a real bear pit.

Playing Trafford seems to be more important than winning to Kompany

That may well be some peoples opinion of Kompany.

The question asked though is what is more important for you, not Kompany and some have stated that picking certain players is more important than winning.

It's about attempting to get a result by giving a chance to players that haven't had a fair chance this season after 3 wins in 26 games, so why not try something different by giving the players that were instrumental in our season last season, cos the players selected so far are not doing very well...

A Leeds 9-0 hammering vs Man City in the FA Cup final followed by a next day 6-0 hammering by Coventry in the play off final would be as good a football weekend as there has been since 2009.

Leeds losing both to Coventry would be even better and funnier.

And that is why I question the view that we will walk the championship next season: I think we are in for a decade of reality: that we are a mid-table championship side

Currently mid table in the championship are teams like Plymouth, Cardiff & Bristol City. Is that what you think is our level ?

claretonthecoast1882

They have lost 17 games in the Championship so far in just 1 season, can't comment on how they performed last night but it is a one off cup tie and football history is full of minnows raising their game in these games.

You really don’t understand how termination clauses in contracts work, do you? No club in the world pays out entire contracts up front and won’t pay the full remaining liability at all. There will be two scenarios, as JR1882 and GIADJ pointed out: 1. A lump sum payment. That might be a year (25%) o...
