Does anyone know why the live games this Sunday are at 1pm and 3:30pm rather than two and half four?

Clocks change this weekend, they'll be the BST times.

Edit: or maybe not... Seems a bit weird, but it'll be something to do with the clocks changing.

Tall Paul

Almost a certainty? Still odds against at most bookies.

Tall Paul

Who are they?

Tall Paul

Didn't they try and move a Liverpool game to Christmas Eve a few years ago but scrapped the idea after a backlash from supporters? It might have been against Arsenal, funnily enough.

Possibly because we aren't Liverpool. The VAR man and the ref were just about the only two people who thought it was handball.

They did think it was handball though, unlike the Liverpool goal which was disallowed despite the VAR thinking it wasn't offside.

Hopefully you can see the difference.

Tall Paul

I must have missed the PGMOL statement that said Darren England made a mistake disallowing a Burnley goal.

Ramsdale and his team were beaten by 3 goal's or more 8x all season, Trafford and Burnley have let in 3 or more in x5 game's out of x8 played so far, we won't be making a profit

Which 5 games are those?

Tall Paul

There's no point trying to draw any meaningful conclusions from the xG of a single game, let alone a single shot. The value is in reducing or eliminating the noise inherent in analysing results of a low scoring game that are hugely influenced by variance.

Yep, they’ve been making quality chances just couldn’t put the ball in the back of the net.

Obviously DCL returning to fitness and the acquisition of Harrison has helped them and will continue to help them out from here on.

Yes, Everton should be fine this season, comfortably midtable.

Crazy to claim Chelsea will be top 6. Properly crazy.

I don't think it's that crazy, their underlying stats have them as the second best team in the league.

We aren't "as good",so will be viewed by the others as we view them. I'm simply saying if we continue to play as we are, every game will be tough.

Yes, every game will be tough, but some (the ones against the better teams) will be tougher than others. That's just a fact.

I'm simply pointing out that they'll be just as tough games, but for different reasons. People seem to think that because we beat Luton we'll walk over the bottom half teams.We won't.

Of course they won't be just as tough. Playing against teams that aren't as good will be easier.

Tall Paul

Good to get the first win on the board but we're going to have to be better than we were in that second half if we're going to get many more of them.

Tall Paul

You'd think we shouldn't be afraid of beating a team we finished comfortably above last season in a lower division, but no doubt about it Luton will be well up for it after beating Everton, being at home, and knowing we're desperate to get off the mark. They must be the clear favourites. Nope, Burn...

We are still unbeaten against sides that didn't qualify for Europe last year. Time yet!

No we aren't.

Tall Paul

:?: and are they really worth £100m? Have they proven anything to warrant that valuation? Chelsea used their financial clout to get players other were looking at, Caicedo is a perfect example. Liverpool would never have gone to £100m for him which meant his only destination was going to be Chelsea....

£100m players at present are the ones who have already won the European Cup/Champions League and are going to a club with even more money. Not promising youngsters (however good) from the lower reaches.

None of the players that went for over £100m this summer have won the Champions League.

But which games are those ?

Bottom third teams like Luton, Sheff Utd, Bournemouth, Wolves, Forest, Fulham at home.

Tall Paul

What a depressing write off of a season this is already shaping up to be after the magnificent highs of last season which are slowly being expunged from the memory bank. I really don't understand what we're up to. All that money spent. Frightening times. Can't be long before we're cut adrift. :lol:...

Tall Paul

Maybe when we start losing games that we're expected to win.

Tall Paul

Well deserved, Brentford have made Everton look really good today.

That Dyche stat, not won a PL game in August or September since 2019.

There were only two in 2020 and he was out of a job in 2022

Tall Paul

All fans of all clubs think they're hard done to by referees and VAR. They can't all be right.

Tall Paul

Ashley Barnes flying kick against Leeds could easily have been a red card but wasn't given

Tall Paul

Another one - Xhaka red card for pushing Westwood, given by VAR

Tall Paul

We keep being told that they’ll average out…. Since our time in the Prem and the debut of VAR in the 19/20 season we have easily been on the wrong end of pretty much every controversial decision. Stemming from the shenanigans seemingly every game against Arsenal to that Leeds away game, where not o...

Yes and if they have their way they will remedy that at the end of this season. Just out of interest…. Happy with the decisions last night?

Obviously not happy with them.

Tall Paul

VAR causes confusion and argument every week. At least when we (Burnley) were in the Championship we didn't have that problem. In this particular situation, because the 'Handball' was not by the scorer, it has to be deliberate to rule out the goal. Therefore, why did the refereee not book Sander Be...

Tall Paul

I thought the rule has changed this season to even accidental hand balls in the immediate run up to a goal will be disallowed? No, only accidental handball by the goalscorer immediately before the goal is scored means the goal is disallowed. That change was made at least one season ago, maybe longe...

Tall Paul

Before posting I had a look at the rules, take away the intention it's irrelevant, we all know it wasn't deliberate that shouldn't be debatable & another day with another ref it'd slide, it's an harsh call, I listened to the game on talksport & danny Murphy made a lot of sense & I've also watched t...

lol Jakub.

The offence is deliberate handball

Looks fairly violent from this angle

Yeah, that looks a lot worse than the replay I saw. Still not convinced it was excessive force/brutality though.

Tall Paul

It’s a conspiracy. Nothing has changed since last time we were in this league. They’d rather have the likes of Leicester than little Burnley in this league because they can make more money. Pure greed. Biased beyond belief and gives us all an idea of how tough they are going to make it for us this ...

Tall Paul

Was Foster's elbow really excessive force or brutality? Only saw one replay but it didn't look that violent to me.

Tall Paul

That's a bit Kafkaesque. Something ends up being defined as clear and obvious because it's minor enough not to be seen. The clear and obvious error is that the ref clearly and obviously didn't see the ball touch Berge's arm and it clearly and obviously did. Like I said, I dont think it's right but ...

Tall Paul

I think the reason it can be called a clear and obvious error is because the ref didn't make an on field decision on the handball. If he'd told VAR that he'd seen the ball brush Berge's arm but didn't think it was deliberate then the goal would probably have stood. It's not right but I do think it's...

Not only is not every phone a smartphone, but also not everyone even has a phonbe.

It has to be paid in full, up front. The video is on the clubs YouTube channel.

Still can't see the video, what's the title?

VAT is fully reclaimable so it isn't a cost of the transfer and shouldn't be included in any comparison to value from abroad.

Tall Paul

Video is private so can't watch, but VAT isn't relevant as it is reclaimed by the buying club.

On the upside, those are three difficult opponents that we won't be having to face in the last month of the season.

We play Tottenham again in May.

He's probably best known for the two goals against Barcelona to win the CL semi final after they were 3-0 down from the first leg.

lol at anyone turning their nose up at Eric Dier.

No wonder there are unrealistic expectations if they think he's not good enough for us.

Newcastle people just duffed up their own captain and his wider family outside a nightclub, doesn’t seem to have stopped them buying players. See my earlier post re wages.

It was mentioned by lots of posters all summer long that we needed LB's, upgrades to midfield and a goal scoring striker.
