Can we just start a new thread about the coronavirus and leave these lot to bicker in peace?

Claretmatt4

Just a realist who finds it very difficult to see anyway out of this situation without devastating effect on health and economy. Lockdowns can work to slow it down but as soon as people return to work numbers will surely flare up again. If people are locked down for two weeks surely the virus will ...

I'm currently self isolating, today is day two of working from home. Fortunately I can work remotely without issue so I'll get my full pay.

Feel bad for those who are financially affected, doesn't some form of insurance cover against this?

Spring in Venezia

Claretmatt4

I guess the difference is that the player Mee fouled had possession of the ball and Ben didn't whilst the aerial battle was a 50/50

Dont get me wrong, he's wrong. But that's likely their reason for it.

Claretmatt4

Taylor left a gap open at the back, which was exposed when Jay lost the ball. Ben had to make a decision and was a centimetre away from an inch perfect tackle.

He's won us far more points than he's cost us this season that's for sure.

What about giving Vydra stick for missing his chances?

Everyone and everything is jumping on the coronavirus frenzy. Given its do inayed the news for weeks companies and now football clubs are getting in On the action.

Currently in Venice and although its very quiet you wouldn't know anything was going on. Being in the midst of it and then reading the news you can see a lot of it feels exaggerated and sensationalist. Were being extra careful with hand washing and hand sanitisers but not panicking and seems like th...

Heading over to Venice in Monday for 5 days. Just hope that the public areas reopen on Sunday as expected. I actually land at midday on the Saturday but I'm going to miss the spurs game as a precaution. Biggest hassle is going to be self isolating for two weeks on instruction of my work... Far from ...

One big stand to replace both Bob Lord and CFS a bit like at Stoke. Can be as tall as CFS is now. Put away fans in the corner out of the way, put new changing rooms under Bob Lord.

Due to fly to Venice for a week on Monday... It's in Veneto which is one of the affected regions in Italy. From the sounds of it a lot of the attractions are closed to the public so I'm not sure if it's worth us even going! I've now been told my my work if I travel to Venice I'll be expected to sel...

VAR worked well during the World Cup. Yes, there were a few incidents, but nothing like the controversy we’ve seen this season. I don’t think the Premier League, and it’s biggest members, ever wanted VAR - they were dragged kicking and screaming into it. As the seasons gone on, I’ve become increasi...

Vydra gets in positions to score our other strikers can only dream of thats the major difference. Once properly match fit he will be burying those chances as you say

I said as much to my brother. Vydra missed a hatful today that wood or barnes wouldn't have been able to create the chance.

Claretmatt4

"Defour believes he would have been “Burnley fit” at the end of October providing there were no setbacks and at the beginning of October, would have begun playing three 90-minute games behind closed doors or with the under-23s (“the Burnley rule”)." Great interview. That is quite interesting then, i...

Completely and utterly unfair but also not surprising in the slightest.

Christ this board has some proper rude people on it. Do you get off on arguing on the Internet?

Is it mandatory to have such polarising views?

I'm not convinced he trusts Vydra to play a full game.

We will see.

He got 65 mins last week, so he can start him and assess his fitness later in the game

I can buy into the meat free theories and I've cut back a lot recently. This does seem excessive though. Imagine they only expensed travel if you went by bike and refused to expense travel by other means if it wasn't carbon neutral? I understand that producing meat leaves a bigger carbon footprint, ...

He's been brilliant for us, and is a top defender. His limitation is fairly clear, and the reason he's not at one of the top clubs and/or in the England squad like Tarks. His ability on the ball just isn't as good as the very best defenders. One of the best 'pure' defenders in the Premier league in...

This is from 2013? Not sure it's relevant to this season, how have Liverpool been giving a leg up?

Would have gone this year but I bit the bullet last year and made the trip on the tues(?)

Wasn't worth it...

Good luck to the clarets travelling this year!

For years I used to shout 'beef' whenever Jensen got a touch of the ball.

He isn't suspended then? Good, improves our chances. Can't wait for Woody to leave him on his arse and bang one in.

Unlikely to end happily for us today as everyone below us seems to be playing each other!

Could do with an Everton win though.

Very good effort but I'd say its beyond the majority of our fans. Hymn sheets pre match might help

Third rate wordsmith who nobbed his way round the cultural desert of 18th century Scotland, humping anything that moved and writing doggerel that wouldn't make it into a school magazine these days.

I mean they barely ever fill the stadium in the league or champs league so why should a cup tie be any different

Clickbait BBC article.

In the same article it says

"Nevertheless, Ms Francke does not think sports chatter should be banned, just moderated.

She said that good managers should be inclusive and ensure that everyone in their team feels comfortable."

Thanks for the tips clarets, have added quite a few of these to the itinerary!

Lineup was fine, players didn't look up for it. Not sure how that can be at Dyches door.

Honestly, who cares?

Afternoon Clarets! I'm heading over to Venice in March with the Mrs for 5 days, wondered if anyone had been and had any good experiences they would recommend. We've looked at going to one of Florence/Bologna/Verona for one full day, but other than the obvious touristy stuff does anyone have any tips...

Strange, I thought the Cork tackle was a clever hooking of the ball. If you go frame by frame he clips Cork before he can hook the ball free but I'd be furious as a Leicester fan if it was rules out. Surprised they didn't look at the Mee handball again. Arms by his side but he clearly moves towards ...

Thought Wood and Jay both did well yesterday and complemented each other. Helped us mix it up more than we have done in recent weeks!
