I wonder what will happen now Defour and Brady are back. Will the rest of the lads play poorly to try to get Westwood and Lennon back in the team. I can honestly say that this "fèeling" or theory is the stupidest thing I have heard on this or any other foru. Hart is inn the team for one reason only,...

To be fair, how many times is this going to be discussed. They're professional footballers and are looking out for themselves, not playing some silly game to get Heaton back into the team.

Face the facts, 70 odd England caps against 2. Discussion over.

Siddo

Once again, the linesman in front of the Bob Lord Stand got abused from start to finish by the experts in the stands. The chance for Morata which Hart saved caused even more anger than normal. Of course, once we saw the replay on MOTD it becomes clear that the linesman was right all along. Let's fa...

Sam Vokes stayed on his feet in the area with David Luis dragging at him.Saha would have been down liked he'd been snipered. Yes we are not a bunch of cheating toe rags and what we really need is for refs to stand up to cheats. The antics of Chelseas keeper after attempting to tackle Barnes was tot...

I just hope the man they bring in to negotiate our dealings is given a fair and reasonable amount and not Monkey nuts. We could see all new era if he's given the freedom to sanction and execute in a professional manner freeing up other members of our establishment to just to rubber stamp. Interesti...

Apologies, I'm not trying to take over the thread but if anyone is interested in the Vietnam war, particularly now Max Hastings book has been released, you have to read Kittyhawk by Robert Mason, We were Soldiers Once and Young, by Hal Young and General Galloway, which are factual accounts, and Matt...

I am also a huge fan of Cormack McCarthy. The border trilogy, no country for old men, the road and so on are magnificent. James Ellroy was the best until Bloods a Rover. Which I just didn't seem to get. However his LA trilogy was brilliant, and American Tabloid and The Cold Six Thousand ( the first ...

Anything by George Pelecanos, Denis Lehane or Don Winslow. A cut above your Pattersons, Grishams, or the run of the mill authors churning out 2 books per year to meet contract conditions. Try A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole or Pulitzer prize winner Lonesome Dove by Larry Mcmurtry. Real...

I passed these "workmen" a few times during the week and they looked clueless. An HSE prosecution is a cert.

That is just silly.

It's not illogical to believe that while productivity doesn't decline but jobs do then those jobs are being lost to automation, not foreigners. If those jobs were only going overseas then productivity would drop too. If that wasn't clear in my post then I apologise. I trust this post clears it up f...

Joined October 1st. Who were you before?

I'm in with Mrs Siddo. I like the idea of the dinner as I have a pie on every game.
Entertainment wise, Basil 6435789 could do a sixties and 70s retro disco with 60s club soul and a bit of northern soul thrown in? (Err, I haven't actually mentioned it to Basil.....)

What was the actual message that caused the aggro in the first place ? I’d presume most gay couplings would want a message on both the “ top” and the “ bottom” I see we have another comedian on here. Referring to Lukaku in the PL thread, the above "joke". Its 2018 mate, not the 70ts. Cue the other ...

Siddo I think you're being hard on them. Yes they got the breaks but they were better musicians than you think - maybe not Ringo but George Harrison was an excellent guitarist and the others could sing, play keyboards and compose. Just listen to Otis on Day Tripper and Ace put out a great album a f...

I'm not trying to be controversial, but does anyone else think that they were a bit overrated? Granted one or two standards that have stood the test of time, but give me Holland Dozier Holland, Bacharach and David or even Jagger and Richards as song writers. Musically, they stopped touring around 65...

Not easy this managerial game is it? Joey is doing fine up to press though.

ABC would have him in midfield with Tarkie.

There are 2 other threads exactly the same as this .

Well look at you all getting stuck into Sean. Its almost like you were all waiting for a poor performance. We won at Cardiff last week. They only lost 1 0 at Tottenham today. Pochettino out? No, just a realisation that there are no easy games. Could we be better tactically? Of course we could, but t...

Just seen Sean Dyche's interviews on Sky and BBC - I'm amazed. He has said-twice-that at half-time "we should have been out of sight". Is this just to fool the Clarets fans who weren't there or does he believe this ? If Huddersfield could shoot they could nearly have had double figures and they pla...

That does explain a lot, to be fair. Do you mean if you didn't go to university you can't be clever? I went to the Grammar school in the mid 60s to early 70s, and I think I am correct in saying only around half a dozen students went to university in that time. It was a class orientated,, privileged...

Another one who knows absolutely nothing about the sport. Your description is from the 1970s. You are literally making sh-it up. You seriously think most of the people playing golf do so to get on the social ladder ? Playing golf at vast majority of courses round Burnley is cheaper than watching fo...

Why do we need threads slating other sports. If you don’t like it don’t watch it and don’t spout about it. Some people do like it so just respect that. I don’t particularly like some sports but don’t need to disrespect them or spout about them when I don’t understand them. Tiger is probably the gre...

What is it with this board? Every time we sign someone, some genius wants them to play in a different position.
We've had shouts of Darikwa in midfield, Tarks in midfield, Taylor on the left wing, and now Brady as left back.

Heaton has been brilliant for us, but Hart would have easily saved Burton's first goal. He hasn't been convincing since he returned from injury, and I can't see him displacing Hart at this rate.

Hi all.

Where can I watch Sunday's game in Skipton? Real ale and serving good food would be a brucie bonus!

Is anyone really interested in golf nowadays other than people who play the game? I have always thought it was a bit snobby and elitist. We were once invited to a do at Burnley golf club, and were told not to visit the buffet until all members and wives had finished. We found the whole evening quite...

Are Labour now in a catch 22 situation where Labour voters will vote Tory if Labour members insist on a "people's vote"?
This may play into T M's hands?

The worst type of praise is well done but..... What on earth is there to criticise about today's performance? I give up.

Just an observation that you don't see many dogs roaming off the lead on a busy main road.

Whilst we are trying to survive in the PL we will never have enough money to really invest in the ground. If we go down we will struggle to survive on around £25m turnover. We are stuck with what we have unless we get outside investment. Being totally pragmatic, who would want to invest millions in ...

Tarkowski is a centre half, Siddo. This lad is a midfielder. Just saying he looks to have the attributes to play centrally. Good to see you have said how well he did though..... Hi mate. My post needed more clarity! It was a dig at ablueclaret, who had a one man campaign to play Tarky in centre mid...

Siddo

Did very well. I was pleasantly surprised. Wouldn't be a shock if he ends up playing more centrally (maybe in a midfield three) rather than as a winger...but that's quite a big call based on just 70 minutes of football. Well done to him though! 70 minutes into his career and we already have a Burnl...

There is a tweet from Alistair Campbell that has a Wikipedia link about the Olympiakos chairman. The section entitled Controversy actually beggars belief. I'm sorry but I can't post it from my phone. It tells you everything you need to know about playing in Europe. We are too nice and very naive.
