UEFA don't like the PL scheduling games in Champions League weeks, so whether Chelsea are still in it or not probably won't be a consideration.

Tall Paul

It'll be 17/18th April or 8/9th May. They're the only free midweeks that don't clash with Champions League.

Tall Paul

As long as we're running one of the lowest wages budget in the PL, we'll always be one of the favourites to be relegated.

If outside investment allows us to change that, I'm all for it.

Wigan had already been relegated when they played in the Europa League.

Can't think of a single player they have who wouldn't surround the ref.

How does a single player surround the ref?

Tall Paul

I never saw Keane outpaced like that when he was playing for us.

The irony of us criticising the Everton fans is delicious after some of the stuff posted on here last week

Wood has been out warming up at half time

No

Hendrick was probably our best player that half.

We were playing really well until they scored and then shut up shop. Going to be tough to break them down now.

Tall Paul

This one has 0-0 written all over it.

I'm a bit surprised at that, expected Everton to be slight favourites. The market must think Everton are really bad away from home.

Nobody was complaining? I think they were. Like I said if we got relegated you'd still be bleating on about how he got us to fourth once.

Repeating your bullshit doesn't make it any more true.

It reminds me of Andy Millman’s sitcom in Extras.

Are you having a laugh?

I don't think Long has been too bad but Bardsley was dreadful, he cost us 3 game winning goals in 3 consecutive games. in 18 years of watching Burnley I can't recall a worse right back. Michael Duff at right back was pretty bad, Dean West was better, Frank Sinclair was naff but better, Russell Ande...

Tall Paul

I enjoy watching my team exceeding expectations and confounding the critics.

In those terms this season has been the best in in my lifetime, perhaps with the exceptions of Coyle and SD's first promotion seasons.

We get to see a well organised defence at the top of their game.

Tall Paul

Has anyone got the stats for the half time scores for our ganes under Dyche? I am pretty sure you could make a lot of money betting on half time 0-0. I reckon its significantly higher than average and probably more than half of our games, especially at home. This cant be a coincidence and is obviou...

Haven't people been saying that for about four or five years? We're still getting these loans.

Tall Paul

Its another point on the board in a league where points are very hard to come by.

Tall Paul

Hmm, had to think about that Claretspice as I think you're one of the more sensible posters on this board who's opinions I tend to respect and find myself nodding along to. However..I have to say I'm not taking over achievement as a given, we've worked bloomin hard to get where we are, but taking t...

Fair enough.

The one I've spoken to wasn't and is very concerned about relegation.

Tall Paul

As woeful as us and got a point which took them out of the relegation zone so guess they’d see it as a good day. I doubt it. I think, pre match, that they'd have been targeting this game as one they could win. Although on the flip side, WBA are an example of a side who got themselves into a rut at ...

Tall Paul

Madeley will dominate the post-game debate, but it was a poor showing against a poor side. There’s no fluidity in our attacking play at the moment and any semblance of sharpness is missing. If we didn’t have so many poInts you’d be genuinely worried, because with out a step change in performance we...

Tall Paul

The first glimpses of what it's going to be like every season for this forum when Burnley are just battling to stay mid table, like numerous other clubs/fans have done before them. This is probably as good as it gets for Burnley barring major investment and already people are complaining/struggling...

Was it boring when we were beating Watford and Stoke 1-0 at home?

I'll take safe, boring football over an exciting relegation battle every time.

Tall Paul

Yes it does. Every time people moan about tactics, performance etc you go on about how Dyche is the man who got us up to fourth as though that makes him infallible and untouchable. I see you love the football so much you can't be bothered to attend in person. You must have quoted the wrong post of ...

Clarinetclaret wrote:So in other words if we were heading towards league 1 you'd still be harping on about Dyche had us up to 4th in the premier league.

No, that doesn't make any sense and bears no resemblance to what I said.

Tall Paul

KRBFC wrote:Absolutely not, I just wanted your opinion and not these excuses, that's all.

I like to look at the bigger picture rather than individual games or runs of games and my opinion is that we're exceeding all expectations this season.

Tall Paul

KRBFC wrote:Did you attend today? How about you tell me your thoughts about the game instead of waffling excuses and papering over cracks.

No, I watched it on an HD stream. Of course that probably makes my opinion invalid in your eyes, but it's on the match day thread.

Everton are crap away from home, good chance of a win next week.

Murger wrote:Because of Dyche, we are now 11 without a win. Wouldn't it make a refreshing change if we actually tried to win a game.

Nine wins in 28 PL games though.

It's almost as if the order we get the results is more important than the results themselves.

Tall Paul

I think weare going alittle longer and direct at the minute infact i know we are. We are playing no football at all really yes we are a 2nd ball side but even more so at the minute. We are going a little more direct, because of the personnel we're missing through injury, but the tactics aren't sign...

Vegas Claret wrote:yeah but we did nothing to stop them throwing stuff at us because we left Barnes and Hendrick up top, is what it is at this stage though.

We didn't need to do anything to stop it because we were comfortably dealing with it.

Tall Paul

They're the same tactics that got us to fourth in the Premier League.

Tall Paul

Nonsense, the minute they took Ward Prowse off they were far more adventurous - they threw caution to the wind and every time we hoofed it forward it just came back. Vokes and Wood would have changed the dynamic of the last 20 mins, I for one don't blame Madley at all. And we were absorbing everyth...

You can't legislate for the referee fouling one of our players, especially that late in the game.

It was just one of those things, thankfully it's not going to cost us too dearly.

There was no pressure until Madley fouled Westwood.

joey13 wrote:Can’t control ref decisions, Dyche can control tactics and use of subs etc , try looking there .

We were in complete control. Southampton didn't look like they were going to score if the game went on for another couple of hours.

Tall Paul

Can't legislate for conceding a goal like that. Southampton didn't look like they'd ever score and we were in total control until Bobby Madley blocked Westwood's path to the ball.

**** happens unfortunately.
