Jimmy out 68 AO.

Root's post match interview should make interesting listening. Especially given his words prior to the game.

tiger76

This quite simply has to be the worst test innings I have ever seen. Christ on a bike they only needed 82 to make them bat again and are going to fall well short of that. You have to laugh or you will cry. England have scored less in a test innings, but in the context of the match this has been a m...

65-9 6 for Boland.

Even by England's standards this has been a mad collapse.

tiger76

Wood gone now, a 5 wicket haul for Boland on debut, 5-5 ridiculous figures.

65-8 and I doubt the Aussies will have to bat again.

Embarrassing doesn't do it justice.

tiger76

Root gone that's it.

61-7.

tiger76

Bairstow gone despite reviewing.

Umpires call.

So this could yet be an innings defeat.

22 more just to make Australia bat again.

Buttler the last recognised batsman I'm afraid.

tiger76

Bairstow dropped that might be the break we need, now he needs to take advantage of that life.

tiger76

I don’t think there is much chance of setting any sort of target. We’d need to get at least another 150. No it'll be tough now, and those 84 runs for their last 3 wickets are looking more important as the match progresses. Frustrating because this has been the 1st time we've at least been in the co...

tiger76

Gets out bowled in the 30s (95% chance of this happening) 30 in the context of this game would be a decent score, England just need to at least try and give Jimmy and CO something to defend, anything over 3 figures and you just never know as history has shown, but we need to give ourselves a shout ...

tiger76

Drat Stokes out, 46-5 still 36 adrift, down to Bairstow and the rest to step up now.

tiger76

Anyone still have any faith we can win this match, we do have Root and Stokes our 2 most experienced guys at the crease, and conditions look good for batting, so if we can some how bat until around tea, and perhaps leave Australia needing 150 or so with our bowling attack we've still got a slim chan...

tiger76

Not a bad outcome for us in the end, and we have a crazy 4 games in hand on Newcastle now, of course they only matter if we can pick up a good haul of points from them. A few injuries for Newcastle tonight as well, and key injuries at that especially ASM and Wilson. 19 points Toon have dropped from ...

tiger76

Cavani again he's one of the few Utd players who actually play for the shirt these days.

Maguire's a donkey.

No I can't accept that comment, that's offensive to donkeys.

tiger76

Maguire booked after being made to look a fool by ASM, £80m for that, the mind boggles.

On evidence so far surely we can get something at Old Trafford if we stay solid. Tarks and Mee will be crucial.

Our record at OT is decent, and we have already claimed a point at Chelsea this season, so if Utd play this poorly we could get something yes.

tiger76

Just seen these stats on the beeb, there's still hope for it to turn around 2nd half. Manchester United have won four of their last five Premier League matches against Newcastle when trailing at half-time. Newcastle have dropped 17 points after leading this season, the most in the Premier League. Ma...

tiger76

Callum Wilson gone off injured for Newcastle, that's a big loss for them.

The good news is it's only 1-0, and surely Man U can't be as bad 2nd half can they?

The better tele looks to start from new years day

Yes that's normally the case, they tend to hold the new dramas et al over until early January.

tiger76

I've barely watched the telly over Christmas, viewed a couple of Morecambe & Wise shows on Xmas Day, and then a couple of music shows on C5. I did note that viewing figures are well down on what they used to be in the heyday, only to be expected with the amount of streaming services available nowada...

Do we know if Cornet will be fit if the game on 30th goes ahead against Man Utd?

Believe he's fit if it goes ahead yes.

It would be hilarious if it wasn't against Newcastle.

Yes but it is against Newcastle, and it would typical of our season if Utd throw one in tonight, yet have a blinder against us in a few days.

Widely reported he's asked to leave.

TBF having heard about how poor Man U are in the first half at SJP I'm not

he wants out.

tiger76

Well Martial isn't even in the Man U squad tonight, so it appears he's going somewhere in Jan, even if it isn't Burnley.

United will win still

Yea but which United?

tiger76

Not what the doctor ordered that, the only good thing is it's early in the game, and will hopefully wake Man U from their slumbers.

tiger76

Bournemouth and Fulham look our best bet of denying Rovers an automatic spot. Important win for the Cherries that after 5 matches without a victory.

Disgusting by Lerma, this play acting is totally ruining the game, but how do you get rid of it?

Respective one match bans for me, that would soon cut it out I'll wager.

Andre on for the last 20.

QPR haven't played for a while and they look knackered no doubt we will be the same when we finally play again.

5 December when they lost at home to Stoke, and it must have an impact on match fitness.

He is only talking out of his horses mouth,Burnley FC,really grates on him,Proper,Club,Great History,Pr0ud Town,Proud Fans,He does not know what PROUDSVILLE means !UTC.

68 games undefeated until Burnley and Ash Barnes rolled into town.

Chew on that fact Jurgen.

tiger76

Stanislas replaced after an hour, he's had a good game on his return though.

tiger76

I doubt we'll sign Martial, and his record at Man U is about 1 in 3 in the Prem, which for an attacking side like them is fairly average, however it's undeniable that we lack genuine pace, and he'd certainly offer that, equally only 5 goals in 29 PL appearances since the start of the 20/21 season ha...

This is the beauty of having rich owners. Wonder though if they will try to sell the club if they are promoted as its very likely they would come straight back down. That would make sense, and explain why Venkys are throwing money at it, as their best hope of recouping a decent wedge is if Rovers a...

scores from a free-kick that never ever ever was

The amount of times a post has come back to bite me is off the scale, glad I'm not alone

If it helps Bournemouth get 3 points I don't care a jot.

An assist for Stanislas to boot.

Stanislas starts!?!

Injury free at last then.

His 1st start since August, when he's fit and firing he's a handful in the Championship, the problem is how often is he fit and firing.

tiger76

Solanke misses a sitter, wasn't somebody singing his praises on here recently.

Another quick quiz, and there's plenty of Burnley related questions despite it being an EFL quiz.

They're making a valid point there

Yep! and now they've spoken out you wonder whether other clubs affected will become more vocal.

tiger76

I can definitely see someone taking a punt on Rooney given how he's performed at Derby in incredibly difficult times.

tiger76

I'm aware this doesn't affect the PL directly, but I still think it's worth mentioning.

I fully expect the Man U game to go ahead, the Leeds game I'd be less sure of predicting.

UEFA's hot on the idea that PL matches can't clash with European weeks. Whether that can be ignored in these circumstances, I don't know. I have a vague memory that it happened once last year. Yes I've seen that mentioned on here before, tough I'm afraid they'll have to show some flexibility in the...

The 10 million bonus kitty might pile even more pressure on them, I hope.

It might if other teams actually decided to win a game now and then.

tiger76

Dunne starts for QPR, Austin & Gray on the bench.

Stanislas starts for Bournemouth, Brady on the bench.

tiger76

The way everyone else up there is throwing away daft points, there's a strong likelihood that they'll be forking out that £10m.

if WBA are fourth in the league it tells you the standard this season must be reasonably average

Yes and if the worst does come to worst, I'm fairly confident with a few shrewd additions, and keeping SD at the helm Burnley would bounce straight back at the 1st attempt.
