why are Leicester fielding a weakened team in the FA Cup - a competition they could realistic aim to win - yet field a full strength team in the European Cup which, realistically,they probably cant?

scouseclaret

I just think it's hilarious that Liverpool don't have a goalkeeper ranked in the top 30 of a 20 team division!

scouseclaret

I think we will win away this season but even if we don't, I'd still back us to stay up.

I'm usually glass half empty when it comes to all things Burnley but after the last season half I really can't understand the pessimism. I see no reason why we can't pick up at least a couple of wins against teams in the bottom 5 - and when was the last time Spurs won at the Turf???

scouseclaret

Crystal Palace. Surprised how long it took me!

scouseclaret

No it wasn't. That was a red all day long too. As we see it's always easier sending a Burnley player off than a Spurs player. Still doesn't mean Hendrick's wasn't a red today. We DO just want some consistency though! Haven't seen the incident yet but we have had similar calls go in our favour v Cit...

scouseclaret

To be fair, when was the last time we had a man sent off? Must be at least two years.

Ha! The bookies get it wrong every time we play at home!

it was the FA's decision, the bbc wanted to show lincoln after they won the replay but the FA wouldn't let them (they'd already chosen the utd game). its something to do with selling the rights abroad, they want maintain the interest of (and income from) overseas audiences, hence they want utd or s...

Couldn't go tonight but interesting to hear about gray coz Huth had him in his pocket in the away fixture. Just shows how the club and the players individually are growing into this league.

Linesman bang in line with play - should see offside. Ref miles from incident looking through a crowd of players. He obviously doesn't get a good view as he takes ages to give it (he pointed to the spot instantly for the Barnes pen, which happened right in front of him). Linesman should have a decen...

Relax. Sean's got it all sorted. Top half finish and at least one trip to Wembley are the targets now.

UTC!!!

Served us well but served his purpose- assuming we get someone better in!

scouseclaret

I know it's not a total excuse, but they've had really bad luck with injuries. If we'd lost as many as them we'd be struggling also. Good for us though :) I think the performance of a predominantly second string Burnley last night suggests otherwise. At least any team fielded by Dyche would show so...

scouseclaret

As comfortable a victory as I've seen in a long time. I actually thought Sunderland were worse than they were in the 4-1 - never showed any interest in trying o score a goal.

Thought we controlled the game very well, but would like to have seen us being a bit more clinical.

Datikwa has pace, decent touch and fantastic delivery into the box. Looks like a potential answer to our winger problems to me. Play him in front of Lowton rather than instead of...

Do you think it is ethical to sign a player with that intention? What do you think that would do to our reputation in the market and our ability to attract players in future?

Why, what did he say in his book? I always got the impression he enjoyed his brief spell with us - he certainly gave it his all.

Fantastic achievement. So proud.

I am another in the "never back your own team" camp but I have been telling anyone who'll listen that having a tenner on us in every home game is a great way to make money. We're always odds against no matter who we play, and against the top teams we're 8 or 9 to 1. By contrast, Swansea are only 6s ...

Presumably they'll get the whole of the cricket field. We certainly won't need it!

Anywhere else on the pitch, Defoe wouldn't of thrown himself to the floor!

scouseclaret

Never a pen for me. It's a little bit clumsy but Darikwa doesn't even make challenge. Anywhere else on the pitch Defoe would stand his ground and shield ball - he just felt a bit of contact and fell over.

Rovers, or Rochdale for old time's sake.

That'll be 55 consecutive now, Cleveleys - every one since 2004 I believe. What really annoys me about this "weakened teams" business is the totally knee-jerk, unthinking nature of it. It seems to have become such a powerful meem in football that managers just do it automatically. Look at Bournemout...

I'd trade Hendrick for snodgrass all day long, but (without knowing his contract situation) if West Ham get him for £3m I'll show my arse in Burton's window.

The big clubs have f*cked over the cup good and proper. By clearly putting out second string teams and concentrating on the Prem/Euro big bucks. Not gonna change anytime soon. Its not really fair just to blame the big clubs - smaller ones, even in the Championship, are just as guilty of fielding we...

I think in this day and age, status and image are all important. So being in the EPL is the be all and end all. In 2013 Wigan Athletic won the FA Cup and got relegated the same season. A few Latics fans who I know said the'd take it, as the'd come straight back and it gets them on the honours board...

I think for us specifically, the cup's attraction has been hampered by a series of crap third round draws, usually away against unglamorous opponents that are likely to beat us - Sunderland, Middlesbrough, Southampton etc. In your younger days, Inchy, any draw away at a Premier League club would be ...

I actually think Heaton to Liverpool is a no-brainer from their point of view. I judge keepers not so much by how many great saves they make, but how few "soft" goals they concede and how few outright howlers they commit. Can anyone think of a real howler that Heaton has made since he's been with us...

The consistently under-rated Stephen Ward had a blinder today.

I don't go in for squad rotation for the sake of it, but there does seem to be a reluctance to change things even when its warranted. Boyd has been shocking for most of the season but still gets picked every week, Arfield has played in fits and starts and Marney is a more than adequated replacement ...
