The Foster thing is funny. Some of us could tell he was getting up to speed last season and would be better this season. It was pretty obvious his attributes would be well suited to the Prem. He was superb this evening. Last season he never looked particularly quick but he looked sharp and pacy ton...

Play as good as that more than not and we'll be absolutely fine. We'll play better than that too.

Fully agree. Confident that Kompany will learn from this as well

Let's address the elephant in the room!

It's not particularly painful because you know it's coming but it is poo...

Brilliant news and no crutches in sight on the club's signing photo!

JohnDearyMe

Older generations had the likes of George Beel, Ray Pointer and Willie Irvine as their striking icons. We have been lucky enough to see Wout Weghorst take his place amongst the pantheon of great Burnley centre forwards. I'm not sure what i will miss most. His searing pace, aerial prowess, or his she...

If you live in the States is the only way to order a Burnley top via the club website still? I'm presuming/guessing all the big Premier League teams have shirts available in stores over there

Did he score when we drew 2-2 at Man City?

A good mate of mine Aaron (season ticket holder at Bramall Lane who I had to sit next to in the home end as they demolished us 3-0 under Dyche) just text me and said "We've been promoted yet our business is that of a club that's been relegated". Says it all really - they do look stuffed. What's hap...

Did he mention being converted to Mormonism by any chance ... apparently according to some on here we will all soon be "members of the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints" if we watch it

Haha strangely he didn't. Quite a lot of focus on the influence of his parents and his MBA.

JohnDearyMe

Not sure if it has been mentioned anywhere else but there's a good interview with Kompany in the Times today linked to this documentary

Immaculate player for us.Thought he might be past it when Stan signed him but no way.Loved watching him.

Exactly my thoughts. How old was he when he signed? 35? An extremely impressive defender at that level

What did Palace think of Lokonga? The little I’ve seen was not favourable to say the least.

Underwhelming is how a Palace fan that i work with described him. Hope he does better for us if he signs

Here's the burning question, is he finally a replacement for John Deary ?

In his dreams!!

JohnDearyMe

The City game had tickets go back on sale on Monday (yesterday) - presumably they were all from Season Ticket holders that returned their seats for the game. Might be an indication that seats could become available from two weeks prior to any individual home game but I have no real way of knowing. ...

JohnDearyMe

He had a lovely perm!

JohnDearyMe

Was it Taylor who missed a penalty away at Man City fairly early on in the game during that Christmas top of the table clash?

I think that happens in a similar southern league with teams from the Channel Islands

Yes that's right, Jersey do the same. They played in the league of my local non league team last season.

I only just learnt that he was diagnosed with a growth hormone disorder as a child. Makes his achievements all the more impressive

Good play from Rodriguez to help steal possession for the goal

JohnDearyMe

Totally agree re: Nathan Tella. For me he was the heartbeat of the club last season. His goals, pace, absolute enthusiasm foe everything Claret rubbed off on the pitch and made its way very quickly to the supporters. We need that back from the off this season so we need him around. Not just a great...

Spot on. If only there was some kind of written rule provided by supporters which stipulated exactly how you want an investor to behave. Anybody who has friends and family over there will tell you how big a deal this guy is and the kind of exposure he is giving Burnley. He’s reaching a far bigger a...

Moving them to another stand would require an enormous amount of work for very little gain In the lower section of the long side or JML would leave them exposed to the elements, the risk of stuff being thrown at them from fans above them Also the hospitality sections would also need to be partition...

AGREED-unless as I posted above, Muric has upset the boss in some way

Tough one. I thought Muric improved as the season went on but maybe Kompany is just sceptical about how well he'll perform when under a lot more pressure?

It was only £25 to get in today making it affordable to the great unwashed

Prices for normal seats for the first 4 days were in excess of £100. Good thing there's not a cost of living crisis!

Unbelievable from Bairstow. The crowd can boo all they like. But until the Umpire calls over and the ball is dead Carey is fully entitled to do what he did.

More braindead batting from England in this Test. Very sloppy

Arsenal were tearing us apart with Fabregas & Arshavin in 2009 until Fabregas was forced off with an injury.

Would Fletcher's disallowed goal have stood if we'd have had VAR? Remember it being a close one at the time. Unlucky not to win that game in the end

Standing under the new stand, by the bar, is one of the best views in cricket in my opinion.

I see there's a rain delay at Bristol. Lucky sods! We haven't had any rain up here for three weeks. I had a day of the Championship match at Southport last season. It's not my favourite outground, because there are very few places when you can get any elevation. Blackpool is my favourite outground....

I’ve always thought that given the size of Bradford (it’s big) they have always had the (as yet unrealised) potential to be a huge club. I’ve never understood quite why they have spent what seems like most of their time scraping around in the lower divisions. Their crowds in those divisions have al...
