3-0 to the Gooners

JohnMac

Been at a funeral in Pontefract followed by drinks in Castleford. Made J32 without any hold ups this lunchtime and the same coming back later this afternoon. Not even a queue until we got to Padiham Town Hall and the lights were on Red. I was mildly shocked to be honest.

We've done a very passable impression so far and look at how we got on against Fulham..

Not a chance in hell that's from space.

Everyone keeps saying 'There are worse teams than us' but that isn't really the case. Last few games have been better, performance level has improved but it couldn't have got any worse in reality and I just don't see us getting too many, if any points before New Year. I don't see us reaching 30 poin...

JohnMac

The answer may lay somewhere in between as we have had 3 strikers on the pitch at times and still failed to score. It's finding the right ball and without doubt pumping it forward John Beck style isn't right. Pace and width brings rewards but players who can provide it are not in our ranks and it's ...

Worst manager since Wilf McGuinness was lumbered with the job.

If Pogba survives in the summer you will know that once again player power has triumphed.

It's been a toxic club since Fergie saw the writing on the wall and planned his exit.

Is Redknapp back from the jungle?

You are going to starve.

Again it's purely speculation Pete but to go from a team to be feared, to a team that is mocked implies something is amiss. Maybe 'Don't dwell on the Cup competitions, get us out and make sure we stay in the Premier League' is a recurring theme. As a fan I feel we have put very little effort into an...

JohnMac

So are you saying you think Dyche was following the boards orders? Anything is possible but I find that hard to believe. Obviously I don't know what goes on behind closed doors, nobody on here does. I think there is a strong chance a number of conversations have taken place between SD and MG over t...

Regardless of 'unprecedented problems' the project gives the appearance of 'Little Old Burnley' struggling to adapt to the big bad outside world again. The underground problems obviously mean we were taking a walk on the wildside all those times we stood on the Beehole End. We could have gone down a...

Taking this individual case in isolation, it appears a set up to either discredit the Club (to what end I know not), or seek publicity and/or some form of compensation. You either need to use the toilet, or you don't. In this case it appears he didn't need to use the toilet.

Good player and up there with our best in recent times but far from a great one in the grand scheme of football.

JohnMac

It will if he's off to Leeds

I get fed up of Managers trotting out the same old lines about us, Houghton being the latest. 'We know all about their direct style and physical play'. I wish we had been direct and physcal in October and November, we might have won a few points. As for Foden, he does need to play games otherwise he...

sounds interesting, where was that on John ? I saw it on NatGeo yesterday but it might be available on Netflix or YouTube. Try a search on that title, it's about 1 hour 35 minutes without adverts. Definitely worth a watch and chilling to think of the consequences. Had MI6 and the Police not prevent...

One of the worst examples of so called football rivalry. It was an atrocious tackle and could possibly have ended David Dunn's career.

Embarrasing really.

I look at Newcastle, Wolves, Palace and Fulham yesterday and wonder just how did we sink so low to enable all of them to beat us

Was Rafa asking for VAR?

Weird!

Costa plays a rubbish ball to Traore giving away possesion and then stands there feeling sorry for himself. Lazy beyond belief.

Now a soft straight Red for Newcastle.

They often get disconnected and I'm sure it isn't personal, Ben just venting his Captaincy frustration occasionally. I would sooner see this than the Jesse Lingaard antics ( as much as I admire him as a player) with his childish like need to start his hand slapping routine every 5 minutes :( Or am I...

Everton did a good impression of a team in crisis for a while last season and historically would have gone if goal line technology was around in the 90's.

Biggest bit of daylight robbery in football, I even felt sorry for Bolton at the time.

The puddles are just as bad on entering the CF stand. On complaining to a steward he said work had only just been completed on clearing the ground. Presumably trying to level it out more. Can really do without wet trainers when it's cold. I think you may need to revise your choice of footwear unles...

Tom Heaton rarely moved out of his 6 yard box over his first season and was often criticised on here for it. As for yesterday I think Joe was correct not to get involved with competing for most of those high balls in that atrocious weather. Frustrating, maybe, but the defence as a unit were much bet...

Dawson at West Brom ( last season or this) gets more headers in the box when they are attacking than all of our team combined. These powder puff deliveries have produced very little and Chris Wood hasn't connected with many at all of late. His movement is still better than Vokes but unfortunately no...

Something went on between him and Ben Mee. Plenty of gobbing off, gesticulating and I'm sure Ben waved at the bench at one stage as if to indicate 'Get him off before he costs us'. It came after Brighton walked through him and Ben put in a tackle or clearamce in the box. Brady was rubbing his knee a...

We don't time waste, silly little episode in the CFS aside, we jusr haven't mastered the art of taking a throw in yet.

I think most peoples view is backed up by former professional footballers reviewing it and deciding it was accidental.

The only people trying to make more of it are those paid to promote debate, such as Adrian Durham and co.

JohnMac

Momentum is a dangerous thing in certain circumstances. I believe this was one of those circumstances, the fractured leg actually backs that up factually. If Joe Gomez had got to the ball first his angle meant he was probably heading into the barriers. He was committed to getting to the ball as was...

The game hasn’t changed that much.

Same circumstances, same point of view from me. It wasn't malicious and wasn't intentional.

Ah the new (actually not so new) name of "snow flakes". The lad has a fractured leg. Time change, move with the times. 80's were great in their day however we are not in the 80's now. I'm totally with Klopp on this one. What, as in you haven't seen it? Two players running for a ball, one gets there...

JRM is an MP with wealth, he hasn't just opened a few accounts and filled them with money from the Treasury.

His expenses are the same as the other elected MP's.

Why can't he buy what likes?

Nothing to do with cap doffing, most people just acknowledging the players for giving maximum effort. It was hardly a racous full house last night though, I haven't seen as many empty seats for a long time. At least 20 ST seats empty in just 2 rows where we sit in Block 3 JHU. Good effort thwarted b...
