I certainly don't wish absolute financial ruin for them, but I think it would be really good for their fans to understand their place in the world by suffering a couple of decades in League One/Two. That's all I ask really, just to make them more humble. You're a better man than me jedi, nothing bu...

It's exciting checking out all the new players we've never heard of on YouTube, but it's reassuring to sign someone we've already seen produce in the Premier League for years. Right side of 30 too, it should be a good signing this.

NottsClaret

What sort of challenge in the premier league do people think we can realistically mount? I mean, there has to be some reality coming in here! It's so hard to predict, I've honestly no idea. We've only been out one season but so much has changed, I genuinely wouldn't be shocked if we were 6th at Chr...

Mike Dean deciding not to award Sheffield Utd a (pretty much stonewall) penalty! Other than if Orient had equalised in ‘87, that’s the one I thought of. They had a couple of decent shouts despite us clearly being the better side. If we’d lost that, the last 15 years - as close to a golden era as a ...

Really good interview that, well done to him. Sad that he only had a ‘normal’ life from 12-15 years old. That’s definitely going to mess you up at some point. Hopefully he’s happier from now on.

NottsClaret

Happy to give him a chance, although I still doubt he'll start the season with us. As for his spell at Man Utd, Ten Hag picked him to start for them 19 times. They did better when he started playing for them than they had when Ronaldo was there. Might only have scored twice, but their results improv...

Where are we on the club badge now?

NottsClaret

Hard to have a strong opinion on that at all. It's just a typical Burnley kit.

It does look like Villa, but isn't that why we play in Claret and Blue anyway?

Hopefully we’re better than when Sean Dyche would pick up any old has been hoping he may have a good game once every blue moon,ie Crouch ,Stephen’s ,Lennon ,Walters et al .

Or maybe another Bardsley, Pieters or Barton who were all really good.

Not read the whole thread but agree with dande. We’re a bit unlucky to be 2-1 down to the best test team in the world and could yet win the series. Our form is unbelievable over the last year or so, people who don’t like cricket are suddenly watching cricket, kids all over the country have new heroe...

Inevitable really, a Premier League match, even in Burnley is a tourist attraction for the whole world. These tickets aren't aimed at Burnley fans really anymore. Just have to suck it up while we're in the top flight and either get a season ticket or watch on telly. They won't be £50 when we're back...

25 really is late to make it as a pro, what a career he had too, maybe even helped him later on. I think Vardy was still non-league at roughly the same age.

NottsClaret

Only quickly scanned through the thread and also on Twitter.. the fact there seems to be very little backlash and a general acceptance this is fairer for younger fans suggests they've got it about right. As with Lancaster, it doesn't benefit me personally but there's no way I should be getting ticke...

Tricky one to assemble that, as the best ones quickly move on to the Prem, like Trippier or Ings.

So then you’re looking at lesser players who hung around for years in the 2nd tier, because they were never quite good enough. Robbie Blake maybe for us?

NottsClaret

It was a s***ty thing to do and the Aussies deserve all the grief they get.

NottsClaret

Really good player, and did it consistently against much better sides than that performance in 2009 (v a midfield which would play about 90% of its career in the championship or below).

NottsClaret

I remember when Stoke kept quite a few 'stars', spent £50 odd million and finished 16th first season back in the Championship.

Just because we made it look easy, doesn't mean it's easy.

NottsClaret

It's a quandary for sure. A disreputable Far East gambling firm promoting a damaging industry which football says it should be distancing itself from.. and yet the logo looks quite good on a Claret shirt.

That said, I've not bought a replica shirt since becoming an adult so it's no biggie for me.

That Philipe Anderson who was the next big thing for West Ham will be pleased, Bardsley marked him out the game to such an extent a few years ago I've never heard of him since.

Surely it’s pretty clear to see that VK is looking for a new first choice goalkeeper. Looks like it doesn't it.

I was talking with my wife about how you didn’t get any ‘old fogie’ rock/pop stars when I was a lad and it’s a relatively modern phenomenon. I then depressed myself by realising that the reason was rock/pop was only 15-20 years old when I was a lad and the even the elder statesmen were only in thei...

The previous owners of our house had been badly mis-sold one. It was noisy, expensive and never heated the house sufficiently. We replaced it with a gas boiler, which felt like a backwards step but they simply won’t work in a huge percentage of the housing stock in the U.K. If you’ve got a properly ...

I never used to react to bug bites but after a couple of bad ones in the last few years I’ve started using that ‘Jungle Spray’ off Amazon. I think it might be banned in some countries but you can get it here.. nothing has even landed on me since, it’s good stuff.

I do enjoy Glastonbury on the telly, never heard of Young Fathers or listened to Kelis in about 15 years and they’ll be on my Spotify all day tomorrow now, both absolutely brilliant tonight.

‘Names’ like Royal Blood and Arctic Monkeys were so boring.

NottsClaret

It’s been the Emperor’s new clothes with Arctic Monkeys for years, everyone trying to convince themselves they’re not a load of dull shite these days.

Get Kelis on instead, she’s ace.

Kelis is surely going to be the death of Bill Murray, she’s great mind.

Barnsley are appointing some internal, apparently to save money.

My Barnsley mate said they’d promote Martin Devanney from the u21s so they can save money on the ‘MD’ branded manager’s kit.

I’m years out of touch with ‘new’ music but enjoyed that Young Fathers set after switching off Royal Blood, they were great fun.

If nothing else, we've all learned a lot over the last week about some of the terrifying and bizarre physics at play at the bottom of the sea. Best left well alone in my view. I'd spend £250k on going into space though, if I had it like.

Shame for Barnsley, they seem to have no trouble finding good managers and some top players.. just can’t keep them.

Don't really get all the hysteria around this.

Talking about the Barnsley Beckenbauer ,when Tarks was at is best more than a few slagged Stones off ,but what a player that guy is now.

Unbelievably good now isn’t he? He was always class but he’s added so much to his game.

NottsClaret

Makes no difference, only thing to look for is getting Champions League teams on the weeks they have away matches, gives a slight advantage.

Noticeable how you don't play midweek in this league. One Tuesday night match at the Turf, maybe.

Bearing in mind we've plucked 4,000 pts out of the air. £250 may get you right to the top, first served, before everyone else.

Without being rude....I've just read the two options..and understand fully what they are.....why all the questions?

Does paying for a £250 membership get you priority over ST holders for away games? Or alongside them? Or after them?

There are no T&Cs or details of how it works so it would be mad for anyone to splash £250 without knowing that detail.

I thought that, seems odd to advertise a service for £250 but not explain exactly what it is.

The £250 one doesn’t say after ST holders. A mistake or possibly controversial?

A great side but that was an utterly joyless occasion. I think I enjoyed every single playoff match more than that.
