Re: Brady final ball

He'll be fine, it's still very early in his Burnley career and there have been some promising signs of quality. The more time he gets on the field the more he will grow into the role.

Re: Pants pulled down

I wonder which different non-league team the media will fall in love with next year. Whoever it is they will certainly be living the dream until the next team lives it better. I suppose it is nice to be in the spotlight for a couple of weeks and we get to hear heart warming tales of postmen and lorr...

When you get to the end of the M62 be aware that when the speed limit drops to 50mph there is a speed camera just after.

Re: ARTICLE: Barton fit but duo ruled out with injury

One of the best players I have ever seen in a Burnley shirt. His ongoing injury situation is frustrating and we certainly haven't see anywhere near his best form. I'd hope we can find a way to get him in to the starting the XI on a regular basis as we look a more attacking threat with him in the sid...

Re: Brady

I don't want to appear to be wise after the event. However I constantly expressed my reservations about signing a player with 2 relegations from the Pl on his cv on previous threads. On top of that from watching more than a few Norwich games this season there was nothing to my mind to suggest he wa...

Re: Sorry Sam

He's not the type of striker to feed off scraps. He need consistent, quality balls into the box for him to attack. Give him the service that Llorente got today and he would be looking at 15 goals a season. Hopefully Brady will get up to speed soon.

They thoroughly deserved it. They did to us what we have been doing to premier league teams this year. Seems like our strength in depth isn't as strong as we need it be. I have no complaints with the result and hope they can march on even further.

I make beer and the cost of raw ingredients has been steadily rising. Breweries have to do this on an industrial scale and when the 'grain bill' goes up, then so does the cost per pint.
