Didn’t he used to say “ if I ever came back to the prem it would be Burnley /SD” He’l not ship up here till he’s past it ,though we all need that final payday . If only we had the likes of Trips/Ings now

AlargeClaret

Cup and Europe all day and throw in a big “ back to the prem” season what’s not to like ?

We’ll probs have more than enough to stay up ( injury free with 1 top addition )

AlargeClaret

Barkley would be a brilliant addition, imagine actually having a cool headed ,powerful ,technically excellent attacking midfielder as opposed to the rubbish we have now.

AlargeClaret

Rightly sent off , ( and shouldn’t play for club again )but the defender was being a ridiculous drama Queen he pushed him to his face nothing more .

AlargeClaret

He was good overall, still cost us a goal though with a weak save. By his high standards he's been genuinely awful this season, looks shaky and is costing us goals. Utter nonsense and garbage. Go and look at their 1st ,he picks spot hits it clean ,Pope gets full stretch for a good save and is helpl...

He's coming back from injury

I thought so CT , And seems to be pretty fragile which I guess doesn’t allow him a run.

He is.
As is Barnes.

Both continue to offer very little.

Can’t really argue with that , though IMO whereas Jay may well be “ going “ and possibly “ gone “ ( form wise) Barnes is turning into an awful liability

AlargeClaret

Fine against lower league opposition but hasn’t looked anywhere near a PL quality player for some time. You could well be right , though I only saw him against Rochdale re: low league . But re: prem quality the same could be levelled at many of our players tbf. Only appeared to get a run last seaso...

AlargeClaret

While I appreciate Wood should be given every chance to hit form, I find it incredible that Barnes is openly preferred to JR. These 3-8 min subs ( usually when the game is dead ) are an almost impossible task for any striker at any level . I genuine thought with the speed and class of MC and leaving...

AlargeClaret

Genuinely hope he starts next week , though i guess will be the Spurs game his next outing .Mee’s a wonderful servant but his lack of pace , his errors and poor distribution surely mean it’s time to give youth a chance . Once Roberts is also bedded in the side starts to get a more youthful energetic...

AlargeClaret

Pope 7 much more assured today Lowton 6 tough gig but kept it tight Collins 8*MOM cool and assured ,move aside Mee Tarkowski 7 Usual very solid show Pieters 6- tough 1st half stuck to it well McNeil 6 couple of nice take downs 2nd half Cork 6 great interception to create chance Brownhill 5 huffed an...

AlargeClaret

Looks excellent , will be a good replacement if Tarky goes,though he’s clearly better than Ben Mee in almost every aspect . Reminds me of Michael Keane

Dyche can’t wait to go back to 442 when 451 was clearly working

You really think Wood alone upfront would give even the slightest chance without Cornet ?

AlargeClaret

Great autobiography too , and read by MC himself ( the audio book I mean not Caine in the front room ! )
I’ve loved his later work too in Christopher Nolan films , he was brilliant in the Prestige

AlargeClaret

Pope
Lowton Collins Tarkowski Pieters
Dwight Brownhill Cork Cornet
JayRod Wood

I’d expect the following to also get on the pitch
Lennon
JBG
ANother

AlargeClaret

Thank god we never signed Cliff Richards…

AlargeClaret

Based off no Mee/Vydra/Taylor
Bit of speed on the flanks and loads of experience if nothing else

Pope
Lowton Tarky Collins Pieters
Dwight Brownhill Cork Cornet
Jay Wood

Sadly our away support has been dwindling but by bit since we’ve been ( back) in the prem . There’s many reasons but the whole “ away day” culture just doesn’t exist like it used to . 1. The terrible BFC ( utter disgrace ) ticketing website,made ever worse by stopping selling tickets early every awa...

AlargeClaret

Usual ticketing shambles from the club, you often wonder if they have a monkey manning the online updates . After being “ sold out” from Monday afternoon ( but still linking you to the “ buy tickets “ with the full page fixture logo ) they never bothered placing a simple “ only available in person “...

AlargeClaret

Probs right re: 1 killer tbh. Though as literally zero evidence against anyone apart from odd bits of circumstantial ( Lechmere ) I often wonder if there’s another plausible -/realistic scenario . Though I firmly believe Tabram was his 1st victim and it’s interesting that there’s plenty of quotes th...

Crikey not seen Speedway since seeing Peter Collins at Belle Vue as a young kid . Morton was there too and remember seeing them race against Carter ( maybe season before he blew his head off) unbelievably exciting racing spectacle . Remember they used to sometimes have stock car racing on same night...

Anyone know what allocation we got ? Was surprised to find us sold out yesterday afternoon . Presume we’ve took 3k?

I wouldn't be too surprised if it wasn't their own police that have travelled with them. It's most
unlike our lot to wade in with batons at, what seemed to be, the first sign of unrest.

Good point actually , though football does tend to give the old bill carte blanche

AlargeClaret

I’m too busy laughing at our hilariously soft riot police getting absolutely battered by a few Hungarians with bare fists . What on earth were the police going in with batons because the Hungarians booed the knee. Preposterous overreaction

AlargeClaret

Question for AlargeClaret : I was interested in your comment above "It’s clearly no one who has ever been a suspect ..... Wouldn’t suprise if he never existed at all". I wondered whether that was just your own personal opinion or whether there was some literature, a website or other available sourc...

That’s sad news , what a great racing man he was .Some great National memories Hedgehunter one of my fav horses .In fact he took the horse back to his farm /stud after HH was retired and might even have outlived him .

This was an excellent look at the horrors of addiction , the chat with the parents of suicide victims ( due to gambling) was incredibly difficult to watch . Merson’s a troubled man with many demons and though a simple soul you can only admire his fight .He reminds of an alcoholic ( which he is but i...

That's the trouble with boxing, it's too biased to home fighters. The BT commentary was bias as anything in Fury's favour. He was certainly winning the fight but Wilder was catching him quite often. Described as desperation punches by said commentator. Good point re: bias , though the US commentary...

AlargeClaret

Wilder’s technique seems to be almost exclusively about loading up the big right ( and one of history’s possibly most powerful punches so not to be taken “ lightly “ ) but the amount of times Fury really hurt DW inc 1 non recorded knockdown where DW went down on his knee was something else . Wilder ...

AlargeClaret

Great fight .While Fury dominated ( I had him miles ahead , even winning 3 rounds would be generous to Wilder) Fury had him down 3 times ,3rd/10th/11th,Wilder had his moments too, and knocked Fury down twice literally after each other in the 4th, though TF took an intelligent count on 2nd kd. From t...

Prince Albert was proven to be in Balmoral at the time of the killings. The two leading officers on the JR case - Dr Robert Anderson head of CID and Chief Inspector Swanson both made it known via memoirs that Kosminsky was the killer. Anderson was sunning himself in Switzerland and god knows where ...

Could the great KK be heading “ home” ?

AlargeClaret

We’ll never know, but the experts sway towards him. He did have violent history though, behind closed doors. It’s all conjecture, but interesting. We’ll certainly never know ,though AK had no history of violence at all ,the only recorded violent act was when he “ took a knife and waved it at his si...

AlargeClaret

The Kosminski link was created using facts from the time with modern investigation methods. An intriguing watch, hosted by Emilia Fox, available on the BBC iPlayer. As stated above, it is a very plausible conclusion, although of course, we will never know for sure. Not a chance in holy hell it was ...

Holland should be called the Netherlands but we ignorant Brits continue to call it Holland What a bizzare post ? You’re aware the Dutch themselves recently literally “ re-branded” to Netherlands ?

Pity they didn’t give her a decent competitive game , though if it encourages more women into reffing that’s a good thing . Surprised the bird who runs the line in prem and has done for yrs hasn’t had a go at the main job as always thought she’s been pretty decent ie invisible when running the line .

The BL is a disgrace ,but as it holds so few, probs not really an issue . A new 8ish k capacity 2 tier CFS would be about right IMO

Currently 45/55 against . Thought there’d be more pro but tbf families/old people/Jakobclaret etc probs don’t get a beer on match anyway . It’s unlikely to happen .

We really need the full CFS as the corner neither has enough people or remotely consistent atmosphere .

It’s decent enough as a big budget action film ,it’s a bit on the long side ,though quite enjoyed the villain .Yes we know Bond is a dinosaur but instead of smirking along with him , it’s almost as if the “ homage lines “ are delivered as a nudge nudge almost embarrasment rather than the comforting ...

AlargeClaret

While I appreciate they have their moments (usually 1st ten mins before the coke wears off) and it can be a good laugh in there . 2nd half we’re getting some momentum and another corner had a real roar of “come on Burnley” rolling down the Longside ,yet what are our noble guardians of “ atmosphere “...

AlargeClaret

Probs just what Roberts needs some match fitness . Though Cornet’s travelling is not great IMO . While I’ve no idea what a cheap championship right back will be like, MC has already shown he’s gonna absolutely vital during the campaign .

Lowton is the best crosser of a ball we have. As for Taylor he couldn’t cross the road. I’ve read some garbage on here , but to presume Lowton “is our best crosser of the ball” is simply ludicrous. Against v poor opposition he can admittedly put an outswinger in ,usually miles off target . Taylor i...

AlargeClaret

We played with a real lack of confidence and I was amazed at the constant poor long ball in, thankless task for Wood/Jay . McNeil constantly flatters to deceive and is very one footed . His best work is with Taylor, whom gets stick for his crossing but 1st time I’ve ever seen him sky one in the stan...

Just a shame it won’t be in the Prem. Be good to have a proper rival in the same league as us as we have had a few seasons now with no local derby. I hate the b@stands down the road but I do miss the fixture and everything that goes with it. Just hope we are strong when we go down and do the double...
