I'd have to rush over from Leeds after work, no time for a pint beforehand before crawling down the M65 at a snail's pace before the same crap on the return journey. Said after the last time I wouldn't put up with it again and gonna stick to it this time. Charging us for the buses most of us don't w...

Refused to go on a pre season boot camp in Austria I believe because he didn't fancy all the running. Definitely wouldn't be Mr Dyche's cup of tea.

jrgbfc

Isn't it about time someone at the club showed a bit of backbone and challenged the police on the bus issue?

jrgbfc

Surely no way Defour is going anywhere now. If we sold him and replaced him with Charlie Adam I think I would cry.

jrgbfc

Never understood this don't care about the cup attitude. Our form nosedived massively after the Lincoln fiasco last year. Likewise the win up at Boro in the FA cup seemed to kickstart our 23 undefeated.

jrgbfc

Dread to think of what Lancs Constabulary will come up with for this one! You never know they may surprise us all and show a bit of common sense.

jrgbfc

If it's a bubble game really think we'll struggle to shift tickets this time. I've said I won't be going on the buses again after seeing us win there twice, reckon there'll be a lot in same boat.

jrgbfc

Row seven upper for us. Am I going mad ? I've don't recall seeing or hearing how many tickets we took. That's highly confidential info Funkydrummer. The club could tell you, but then they'd have to kill you. Joking aside the club don't release our away allocations anymore. Every other club in the c...

We need to be careful we don't end up with a team full of old men, only here for one last good contract. Not much youth and vibrancy around the squad as it stands currently.

jrgbfc

Will be surprised if we manage to shift 3 thousand tickets for Spurs now with the timing and lack of trains between Manchester and Euston.

jrgbfc

Reckon that will be very close to the team that starts at Chelsea.

jrgbfc

Cover? I fully expect Bardsley to be our first choice RB at his earliest opportunity. We may have to wait for an injury or suspension to lowton (who ended up having a decent season) or maybe just a cup outing for Bardsley, but I really do expect him to be starting regularly sooner rather than later...

jrgbfc

Can tell immediately how much those pictures have been airbrushed. Plenty better than her down Burnley on a Saturday night, or at least they used to be when I was a regular down there!

jrgbfc

At the moment though our first XI is no better than last seasons. You could even argue it's weaker with Keane going.

jrgbfc

Was expecting them to sell the upper tier first, have got stuck in the lower tier now. Am assuming we've only taken the reduced allocation as well.

Think Kuchar is just too nice and content with picking up the prize money for all his top 5, top 10 finishes. Doesn't have the same winners instinct that the likes of Faldo, Woods and Spieth have. Certainly with Woods when he was at his peak no one really had a good word to say about him as a person...

Seem to recall hearing the same rubbish when people were defending the signing of Stephen Reid, "good for the dressing room "etc. Heaton isn't some young kid who needs babysitting, and Pope has looked perfectly capable of stepping in if needed. Completely unnecessary to bring in another veteran keep...

Goes to show money isn't everything. I suppose most of us are guilty of taking our health for granted and not realizing how lucky we are if we're fit and healthy. Bet Rio would gladly swap all his money to have his wife and Mother still here.

On the Virgin East coast website you need to be in the specific first class sale section to see them. On the home page there should be a window somewhere.

jrgbfc

Just a quick heads up to anyone planning on going to Chelsea Virgin East Coast have got a bit of a sale on I managed to buy a first class return ticket Leeds to Kings Cross for 40 quid earlier. There were still plenty of £20 return tickets left but choices for getting down there were a bit more limi...

If Dyche doesn't trust our youth team keeper to even be third choice and occasionally sit on the bench not much point in them being at the club. Must be pretty disheartening to the younger lads.

jrgbfc

Because we already have Billy Mercer as a goalkeeping coach don't we? We may as well do away with the youth team if we're going to have a past it 40 year old as our 3rd choice keeper.

jrgbfc

We already have a goalkeeping coach, completely unnecessary to have Robinson hanging around blocking the development of our young keepers.

jrgbfc

Do we really need another ageing, hard working scrapper?

jrgbfc

His goal at Palace is the perfect example of the sort of service he needs. Unfortunately Defour is our only midfielder with the vision and ability to do that on a regular basis.

jrgbfc

Certainly would be a Dyche type signing. Will reserve judgement, but we need to be careful we don't end up with a team of old men who are just here for one final good contract. Would prefer us to go for the likes of Mee and Trippier of a few years ago, young lads being released by bigger clubs who a...

Nine goals in a struggling team receiving next to no good quality service isn't bad at all in my eyes. I also don't believe he's demanding 100 grand a week.

jrgbfc

Everton are in the Europa this year. Making some good signings got the basis of a decent young side there. Ridiculous to say it's hardly a step up.

jrgbfc

If it's on T.V not a chance we'll take full allocation.

jrgbfc

So you'd all trust Dyche to find a strikers capable of getting 10-15 goals at this level after signing the likes of Vossen, Sordell and Chris Long?

jrgbfc

It seems to me as though Defour was made the scapegoat for a rotten team performance at West Brom, and never really recovered. The "not fit enough" line is a convenient excuse for Dyche to leave him out.

jrgbfc

Have got a fiver each way on Justin Rose at 25s. If he can get himself into contention will be quietly confident with his experience at Augusta a few weeks ago.

Anyone who buys this on PPV is an absolute mug. McGregor won't be able to get anywhere near Mayweather, won't even get to see a knockout either Floyd will just completely outbox him for 12 rounds and then go on about how he's the greatest of all time. How about fighting Amir Khan or the lad Spence, ...

jrgbfc

Not a massive Arfield fan tbh but as other people have said for such a small amount of money we may as well keep him as a squad player for a year and let him run his contract down, particularly if Boyd leaves. I'll still be amazed if he got a move to another Premiership club.

Hodgson has achieved much more in club management than Dyche has or is ever likely to. Getting Fulham to the Uefa cup final not that long ago? Managing Inter Milan?

jrgbfc

Was starting to come good in the Championship winning season but then for some reason Dyche's blue eyed boy Ashley Barnes jumped straight ahead of him in the pecking order and that was that.

jrgbfc

Bet most of those young girls in the crowd didn't even know who Liam was!

jrgbfc

So in theory there's nothing to stop a club offering a tiny amount of tickets in the lower tier and then sticking the vast majority up in the Gods somewhere?

jrgbfc

I thought from next season teams weren't allowed to stick away fans up in the Gods?

jrgbfc

Spoke to a mate this morning who was there and said no one in the crowd had any idea about the minute silence due to sound issues with Buffer. Still not the smartest move to try and hold it at about 9 o clock when everyone's had a full day on the lash.

jrgbfc

If Gray had a midfielder playing behind him with the vision and ability to slide balls into the channels for him to run onto then I reckon he would get at least 15 goals a season even at this level. Maybe Defour could have been that man? Sadly now looks like we'll never know.

jrgbfc

For the sake of 10 million we'd be better off keeping him and letting him go for nothing if he won't sign a new deal. Not sure I have much faith in Dyche replacing him properly either after his previous efforts at signing strikers.

jrgbfc

How about a is Eden Hazard better than Scott Arfield thread while we're at it?

jrgbfc

I left at the full time whistle as I couldn't be arsed waiting for them to clear the pitch and I had to drive back to Leeds, decision made. Also it annoys the hell out of me why the players have to wheel their kids out with them? No need whatsoever for them to be out there.

jrgbfc

Arfield may as well have not bothered today, not sure how he stayed on the full 90. Don't mind him staying as a squad player but if he's starting games for us next season we'll be in big trouble.

jrgbfc

Have to say it's a hell of a coincidence that as soon as we were virtually safe Keane picked up his "injury". No point risking Mee at this stage if he isn't 100%.

jrgbfc

Its a shame that just because someone has a different opinion to a lot of the brainless sheep on here or isn't a fully paid up member of the Dyche can do no wrong brigade that they're constantly ridiculed. Though this was supposed to be a discussion board?

jrgbfc

Will hopefully get a good pre season this Summer and stay fit, definitely got the potential to be a key man for us next season. Can't really see the logic in not playing him and Brady today now we're safe.

jrgbfc

Looks a bit too lightweight for Dyche.

jrgbfc

To be fair we've tried it 18 times and it's worked once. As they say a broken clock is right twice a day.
