You are forgiven house m8 Although it was a difficult decision ... but after consulting our legal team all charges against you for being a Barnesophobe are dropped. Just think on though because any future relapse and the full force of the powers that be will be after you ;) Hey m8 we all have a go ...

It's easy to praise when he's scoring. Come back and do it when he's having a barren spell. I thought long and hard about exactly that but he has started the season where he left off last season. Sometimes it takes a while for something to 'click' and I think that is true of Barnes. Yes he IS blust...

Not sure this warrants a thread but i couldn't think where else to put it. I have in the past (and as recently as the last 12 months or less) criticised Ashley Barnes as not being good enough for either the PL or us - I rated him as a good third choice striker at best and said I doubted his skill an...

Yeah it gets a regular mention on here from people who clearly don't like it but listen to it anyway to confirm they don't like it. Same with people who complain about a newspaper that doesn't go along with their views but they continue to read it anyway. It's self flagellation I suppose. I don't e...

Been listening to TS a bit yesterday evening and again this morning - don't know why. Does anyone else think it is really sh!te? A bunch of self-proclaimed so-called football experts who seem to talk about very little other than the big six and get all heated about the way they think football should...

Sad about Peter Fonda but at least it's got us talking about a classic film with classic music - what a legacy he leaves behind.

I'll just clear a few things up for the absolute dummies we get on here. He didn't say wages aren't an issue, he was talking about in this window about the targets we had that they weren't the issue.

Think I'm right in saying Arsenal are the only one of the big six we've never beaten in the PL We need to have a good day - they need to have a bad day. The only glimmer of hope is that Mike Dean is the ref. A point would be fantastic. Good chance Barnes will be on the score-sheet. You are right - ...

Having watched the three goals I wouldn't say any of them were typical of a long ball game. Here's my opinions on them for what it's worth. The first goal was a speculative lob into the wind by Pieters, he directs it towars the goal with the outside of his foot and the wind did exactly what he hope...

But surely the question is why, even if your mega rich its still a waste of money for what gain? I think it may be to do with when they bought Rovers they did so as some kind of pastime.

He attended the Academy of Contemporary Music at some place or another, that's way off 'old style' and typical of the current middle class b0ll0cks that pertains to be contemporary music.

3 we have.
3 at Brighton (6)
Possible 1 at Wolves (7)
Anything at Arsenal or Liverpool will be an absolute bonus although we are due something from Arsenal considering all their previous robberies (and with Var they can't cheat as much).

I'd be more than happy with 7.

To be fair I've always liked Villa (and not because they play in Claret) so I hope they do well - my choice would be, without a doubt, that bloody awful 'big club' who have never been Champions the 'Ammers.

Was in the papers yesterday actually ? So it's in the papers less than 3 days after the window closes.

A lot of paper talk about Sheffield Utd after him in January.

I get a little sick of fans and managers banging on about the long ball game. We can and often do play decent stuff but you cut your cloth accordingly. But let's look at the 'long ball ' argument. First off what the hell is wrong with finding a way to win games? If you are a manager and you don't li...

I've been saying this for years! Makes sense against the better teams, who will have the majority of possession, to flood the midfield. Will allow for them to track late runners whilst also being able to get a foothold when we get the ball back. Too often against the top sides we are overrun and th...

This whole 'progress' thing is a very strange obsession that every fan seems to have. For most of the sides in our league 7th place is the absolute best they could hope for. That's the limit of the progress. And even sides challenging for 7th one year can have a relegation battle the next year by h...

It's all about opinions. Losing Tom Heaton for £8m to Aston Villa was a blow for Sean Dyche, even with the England goalkeeper in the final year of his contract at Turf Moor, but if the aim of any transfer window is to finish with a stronger squad then Burnley can be satisfied. The deadline day arri...

I'm pretty certain I read a statement/article some years ago where the club stated quite openly that they couldn't have sustained non-league football because of debts and overheads.

I don’t agree. Dyche would be summoned to the boardroom and it would be explained to him that a club like Burnley couldn’t afford NOT to accept the offer. Not that it would need explaining.
