Sorry I meant to put wasn't free flowing, its Saturday night after a few beers! Haha.

bumba

Lineker and murphy, after hearing there comments did they actually watch any of the game?
One says we didnt create any chances the other says we was free flowing.
I thought the football in parts was excellent an could of won by 4/5 we the chances we had

Probably harder to sort being two seperate police forces, Lancashire police do Burnley an Blackburn games so will have full control of our fixture.

Good on your lad,no reason why he can't go if the buses dont leave until after 6 then

bumba

All other derbys in the UK are managed without bubble travel, the police just cant be arsed having to police (their job) and the club are too spineless to stand up to it which results in us being herded into the ground like criminals. Given this is an evening fixture it causes a lot of inconvenienc...

Nobody's saying they should stop running coaches. Just that not everyone should be forced to use them. If you enjoy it then fine, good for you Anyone found any evidence of the club speaking out about these arrangements yet?? We rung the club directly when we needed to and they arranged for a police...

bumba

The bus being forced on us means my youngest lad can't make the game now, whereas if we were allowed to make our own way there then he could. Well done, you've (the police/clubs) just stopped a 16 year old going to a game where he, along with us, would not be interested in causing any trouble. It's...

bumba

The club are ensuring the safety of all fans, anyone who thinks they wouldnt be serious trouble at this fixture if we was allowed to make our own way is deluded. We've made special arrangements for a family member to make his own way there before an there wasn't an issue so maybe people with excepti...

Gray made us play the same way all the time. Palace last season away an Chelsea last weekend proved we dont really need him. With gray it had to be 4-4-2 but we aren't always good enough to play that formation. Personally feel our starting 11 Saturday was stronger without gray than what it would of ...

Up the clarets has us down as confirmed Wednesday but official website and BBC says its on the Tuesday

You could also argue that Flanagan and Bamford needed replacing too. They weren't our players but Flanagan was pretty much an ever present sub and once Bamford left we only had 3 x forwards. Cork replaced Barton Taylor replaced Flanagan Walters replaced Bamford/4th striker Legzdins replaced Robinso...

Glad we signed cork instead

Why was it ridiculous?
I'm simply curious thats all, be easier to explain to the kids if I had an answer.
Obviously you dont know the answer.

bumba

Anybody know why we had claret shorts and socks on?
Would of expected to wear the home socks due to our away socks clashing with Chelsea's white socks but we did a similar thing last season.
One kit gets released then the team wears a different one, anybody know the reasoning

Only one tips Burnley to be relegated, found charlie Nicholas' comment about Sean Dyche being unaware there was a transfer window quite funny though.

What would peoples top 4 and relegation 3 on here be?

Mine:
Top 4 - united, arsenal, city an Liverpool
Bottom 3 - Brighton, Swansea an Watford

bumba

I'm honestly shocked at how many are saying spurs. Thats a game were not expecting to win anyway an won't really affect out season. Beating them in what could be our last games for years means far more. Nothing beats a derby day victory. If we beat spurs I'd of stopped talking about it a few days la...

bumba

Not just a premier league, but it is far more important than even beating the bastards, but my main issue is the bussing in, for a night match, is it really worth it? So because you have to take a bus to the same ground you'd be going too anyway that beats all the traffic out on the way back you'd ...

Whatever happens, we will still be in the premier league and they will still be in league one.

Personally feel it is a must win, it'll set the tone for the season

bumba

It isn't worth the hassle. I'd play the development squad, and turn down all tickets. This may upset the diehards, who not only like to see every game, but want to see us beat the bastards. We have bigger fish to fry than a Mickley Mouse cup. Besides, winning with the development squad would be eve...

bumba

We've got to take it seriously. No more than four changes, and we should win, but Blackburn are not that bad. I've been thinking the same all summer but I've just checked there squad an there pretty awful to be honest an very thin squad wise. Few injuries an they'd be up sh*tcreek. Might be a decen...

I'd be happy playing Hendrick and cork/Westwood in the middle with two up top but wouldn't be happy with whole sale changes.
Tough one for Dyche

bumba

I'd expect a couple of changes where it wouldn't weaken our strongest 11, lowton and bardsley, Taylor and ward swapping for example. Whole sale changes or experimenting wouldn't sit well with me, fans will be paying money and want bragging rights an early derby win could also lift the fans and playe...

Lose this and it could affect our season massively because fans will never forget and will then quickly if results and performances go the same way as the last 16 league games did last season! Lose this an get relegated and Dyche would be gone. Its a must win he simply cannot lose this game it means...

bumba

Would Dyche really risk playing a weakened team in this game? Some say a meaningless cup, I feel its a cup we could really progress in for once whilst not harming our premier league survival chances. Dyche surely knows the importance of this game to locals so would he really risk his reputation by p...

When I checked it laying it flat on the bed it was hard to notice but when I tried it on it is slightly out the same as yours. Presume all or a certain batch will all be the same some just may not notice

I bought this shirt the other day because I think the design is the nicest we've had for years, I was shocked at how cheap it looks though. The material an badge looks really cheap haven't worn it yet though to see if its off centre

We will still finish above Watford, we won't go down were a much stronger side with this squad playing a 4-5-1 an gray doesnt fit in to that. Our only away win last season came with gray as a sub.
With the right acquisition we will be much stronger than last season an much stronger than Watford

bumba

Taken a sidewards step for money, says a lot about the guy hes not ambitious an wanting to win things he's motivated by money, he's joined a team that we will finish above with or without gray.
He will be a flop there an drop back to the championship where he belongs

bumba

Do any of you know if the game got finished behind closed doors yesterday?
If so what was the score?
Both teams will of wanted 90 minutes before the season starts so presume they would of finished privately

bumba

Won't be disappointed at keeping vokes or gray, I'd like us to replace the latter but not disappointed if both stay.

Vokes was c**p in his first season with us. He's been great since. Does that mean he needs replacing because he struggled in the past? Lowton improved massively as the season went on and he deserves to keep his place. If we could replace vokes with an upgrade I'm all for it, would rather replace gr...

Its not long enough, cheating in such a way should be a 5-10 game ban plus a two weeks wage fine

Its the fans I feel sorry for, its very much a situation we could find ourselves further down the line. Gradually increasing the wage budget year on year in the PL to try and progress and then stuck in a mess once you're relegated. Its almost like the longer you spend in the PL the more fooked you ...

He was also a liability in the first half of the season costing us goals and points.
If we want to improve lowton is one of the first we need to upgrade.

bumba

Its all good improving our squad but Dyche very rarely rotates so these guys will be sat on the bench therefore not improving us on the pitch where we finished very very poorly

bumba

We need to replace lowton when we sign a right back not waste money on a full back as cover for a couple of seasons
