I just hope the injury hasn't affected Obafemi's speed, we need some of that.

It did with Michael Owen who had a similar injury, but would expect, treatment rehab etc a lot better nowadays.

Every time I see that the referee is Robert Jones & see him strutting his stuff all around tge pitch with that arrogant demeanour I am reminded oh first ever Premier League appearance at Elland Rd.when we were the visitors.He gave a penalty for Leeds when a 50/50 ball between Nick Pope & Patrick Ba...

Where I start to lose patience with the referees and dealing with the cheats. Is the 12 decisions a game , when a player deliberately backs into or stops to allow contact and then falls over and the ref gives a free kick. We can all see in most instances what’s happening, but the refs nearly always ...

Another example is if Trafford had made a real meal of that bad challenge and rolled over a couple of times , thumped the ground with is arm and suggested initially he couldn’t carry on , I am sure it would have been a red card, which it should have been and probably led to a different result in the...

northeastclaret

Every player is intent on conning the officials from the moment they set foot on the pitch. Is it any wonder that they manage to manufacture decisions which go in their favour? Whether they succeed or fail it is always the officials who get the blame one way ot the other. I have a good friend who i...

I was ready for slagging off Jones when I heard the fuss about the pen decision but having watched it I’d have give it. Fabio catches his right ankle, a terrible challenge on a man facing away from the goal. We can all see it differently, but to me the United player is already falling as he gets hi...

northeastclaret

You are right but ultimately it was his decision and at the end of the match he made a sweeping action with his arm to indicate to Bellamy how Berger had handled the ball, which is not what Berger did as proved by the tv reply that Jones viewed from the monitor.

northeastclaret

Sorry if it’s mentioned elsewhere, but only recently saw the Sheffield United penalty. The United player obviously dives in to get the penalty, anybody who has played the game, like the ex players commenting, says it’s not a penalty. But that idiot Jones falls for it, the quicker he is demoted down ...

Aren’t there similar rumours surrounding Charlie Taylor, a disciplinary matter at the start of the season?

northeastclaret

I am astonished that Jack has been ignored like he has when we have been so short of his attributes in central midfield. His experience, tight control, height and physicality etc etc.

northeastclaret

JJ Watt is an investor hoping to make a return (at some point) first, and a mouthpiece/profile raising celebrity attached to the club second. We are not his primary consideration, more of a hobby you would imagine. I think he has been over here and engaged with fans and the area far more than I wou...

northeastclaret

No, no and no. Admittedly the footballs not good but we all have to have some balls and stick with him. Sometimes in life you have to dig in and bite the bullet. Last season was incredible and this year it’s the opposite. It’s a learning process for him and his staff. He’s an intelligent man and ne...

We can only pick up points in this League, if we cut out the silly mistakes and loss of possession where it hurts. Even the top teams concede goals from player mistakes but for us its happened in the majority of games. Would love to see the analysis over our first 10 games where an obvious error ha...

northeastclaret

We have to stick with the long term project the club and Kompany have aligned themselves on. If we are destined for relegation better to do it with Kompany and keep the club together - like we did with Dyche when we had the same sentiments in his first PL season. I agree with the sentiment and grea...

northeastclaret

Bellis was very overrated IMO, better than O'Shea though so in that sense would have improved us but he'd be 4th choice for me. Maatsen, more two footed than Taylor which makes him harder to pressure, better on the ball and going forward, I agree defensively he'd struggle massively but being better ...

Don’t you think he can actually change? Also wouldn’t you want hik to bring us back up?

If the season remains as miserable as this to the end, no fans will want him to stay next season.

Sadly there is no evidence that he is learning or will change. I don’t recall him saying he has even made a mistake himself this season ? Correct me if I am wrong?

northeastclaret

The sad thing regarding his mistakes ,is that he is not learning from them, so he repeats them every week. Brilliant managers don’t do that. The other worrying thing about his other mistakes, the ones he made in the transfer window cannot be rectified. The brilliant manager we thought he was wouldn’...

northeastclaret

A big point being missed here , if we go down continuing to lose and play as we are things will become so toxic I am sure he would to choose to leave himself, even if the club and most fans wanted him to remain next season.

northeastclaret

Thanks for the heads up , looking forward to it as always

northeastclaret

I agree if we go down , I would much prefer to be winning in the championship than losing in premier league. But the problem is if the season carries on like it is now and we are in the bottom three all season and playing like we are, I would expect fans patience to be exhausted and things become to...

‘Good lad, Woodley. I like positive people. And I'm being sarcastic.

When does being positive become being deluded, don’t think we are far off that now. Cannot believe VK is making error after error and the transfer window is now looking so bad . It’s very worrying.

northeastclaret

I think one important thing has been missed in this debate. We have lost five consecutive home games and played very badly at times. The choice of the fans has been to sit there stunned in silence. The point is amazingly there has been no booing , no getting at the players , I doubt there are virtua...

I'm not sure whether I like the idea of one big drum incessantly banging but does anyone know that it will be exactly that ?

I think Vegas Claret has spent a bit too much time over in America.

He obviously attends virtually no matches in the premier league and doesn’t realise the tv companies amplify the crowd noises to create more of an atmosphere for the viewers.

Nobody can complain, it's self inflicted, we have one of the worst atmosphere in the division

Absolute rubbish , just one example , at Old Trafford do you not remember them playing fan chants over the tannoy , will that be next?

northeastclaret

Just looked at the Job Specification for the drummer.Benefits include long service holidays and death in service benefit, I can make a pretty accurate guess on which benefit they will be taking advantage of first

northeastclaret

Why don’t the people making this decision, ask themselves why didn’t they do this last season? The answer should be obvious. Also VK has always said Burnley is an intimidating place to come and wants to maintain that. Considering what’s happened on the pitch this season the atmosphere has not been t...

northeastclaret

Burnley fans already frequently express their views on this matter, no need for a survey. It is unanimous as far as I can tell ‘that they would much prefer to bang a woman than a drum’.

northeastclaret

We have enough wingers , we need full backs. Like it says on the other thread ,Chelsea don’t play him as a full back because they know his strengths are not in that position.

northeastclaret

Busted flush is Livingstone now. Surprised he made the squad, did little for Lancs this season in limited over competitions.

northeastclaret

Time for Jack Cork in that position, he wouldn’t let us down, as he wouldn’t if he was in midfield now for us.

northeastclaret

Maybe the resting of the tired players in a game that we were always likely to lose over a 100 minutes against a billion pound team will be the decision that sets us up to get a point or more against Brentford I would suggest the impact of resting players for the Chelsea match has no impact whatsoe...

northeastclaret

Agreed, but all a lot of fans are doing is expressing surprise that such a brilliant manager appears to us mortals to be making some strange choices or the same errors are continuing to be made on this learning curve.

I am confident though that we will improve enough to stay up this season.

northeastclaret

I heard in VKs post match interview on radio lancs that a player should not go to ground like Vitinho did today in the penalty area.But Al - Dakhil did against Newcastle, Bayer did against Luton, it could easily have been 3 penalties not two. Something Dyche instilled in his players very successfull...

So sad , such a brilliant guy. Always a smile on his face and a mischievous chuckle. Played with him for Pike Hill Bombers in the Burnley Sunday League. After he left Burnley always enjoyed bumping into him when Burnley played down south. Thank you for letting us know sjb.

northeastclaret

The bigger clubs don't get all the decisions. It's more that they get decisions when there's so little in it. As you explain, you think it was the correct decision as there was so little in it. No doubt if that was against Gordon or Madison who'd have been rolling around on the ground for 5 mins af...

northeastclaret

Gosh , never seen such a unanimous thread, where there is so much agreement on how, in this instance , Newcastle orchestrate cheating amongst their team , so sad. I would like to see this Burnley team more streetwise, but doubt we will ever get anywhere near as low as Newcastle in the sewer of cheat...

northeastclaret

I have a couple of Spurs loving colleagues, I said if Maddison had rolled over 8 times, played dead as he did against us and if I had been playing I would have had a red card as I would have shown him what 8 rolls on the floor equates too and kicked him properly into next doors backyard!!! What a w...

Interesting reading the Newcastle Chronicles comments about how good Newcastle are at cheating. ‘A moan coming out of the Burnley dugout was Newcastle consistently winning free kicks. At one stage Kompany shouted, ‘what’s going on here.But the reality is Newcastle are well versed now on winning set ...

northeastclaret

Massive homer , fall over automatic freekick to the home team , absolutely pathetic and drove us and VK crazy, repeatedly.

northeastclaret

I'm not one for blowing smoke up an opposition players backside but I'll make an exception for this guy: ♤♤♤♤ Blow anywhere near him, never mind his backside and he will fall flat on his face like today to get a free kick, brilliant player but one of the games top conmen. Did it several times today...

northeastclaret

A bit ambivalent regarding Maatsen in the premier league. He doesn’t seem good enough defensively as a left back nor quite good enough as winger. Although I am sure VK would find a niche for him. But think we could sign a better player for £15m never mind £30m.

Enjoyable but too long. They really ramble on at times - shorten the length and get a good producer as they are not good at self editing.

No coincidence that the delivery was much improved with Brownhill not taking any corners.

Zaroury and Tresor’s deliveries were excellent, for each of the 7 corners we had.
