Extremely unlikely but you never know, maybe it was all about him playing today. What strikes me the most odd about the Orsic situation is that everything seems to be coming from the club and not from the player. You would think he would put on social media that he is staying or leaving, but instea...

Nothing wrong with the question. They tend to class anything over 50% wins during the season as 'winning' so 9 wins, 7 losses for example they would also classify 8-8 as a "winning" record as well. The 7 super bowls are probably his biggest achievement, since they are very difficult to get to multi...

Dele Alli now.

These journo's will literally make anything up

I believe Alli, Ramsey, Pogba, and Messi signing for Burnley would be indication that the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse are upon us and the end of the world is near.

Westwood trying to get sent off.

Westwood to Newcastle?

PL just updated it... Watford, Spurs and Everton all have kickoff time of 23:00 on Saturday.

Is moneyball our modus operandi? My understanding of moneyball isn't that it’s about identifying players to turn a profit on, necessarily. More about identifying players with certain attributes that others are overlooking, who will bring missing or required qualities to the team. I wouldn’t class C...

a couple of my Man Utd supporting mates were really surprised they let Helm go ! I've never been to burnley, but its what, like an hour away by car? Some of the young players/families might not want to uproot and move somewhere else, and they could probably commute to burnley, at least for the shor...

if we paid 15 million for him he would have been 14 million too expensive for the last lot ! I agree. We would have made 10 bids, starting at 1 million, and each bid going up in 10 dollar increments... I would also station someone outside Man City and Man U's youth academy and sign pretty much anyo...

I think ship has sailed to buy any player on the cheap. Every other league knows that the PL is flush with cash, and will price their players accordingly (i.e. they will charge an arm an a leg). i think the scouting is going in the right direction. Cornet would probably not have been signed under th...

The 5 in the midfield has certainly helped with ball possession but we don't have any answers to get a decent shot. Tarks and Mee looked gassed...

AshevilleNCClaret

Other than their one goal, Man U is looking flat... Burnley has had some good chances and has pressed well... Lennon looks like he has turned back the clock 10 years. His pace really stands out.

AshevilleNCClaret

I don’t see why the PL can’t seem to rearrange the schedule and have teams that have full squads play each other. I know theirs logistics involved but would seem a no brainer than trying to squeeze in games at the end of the season

AshevilleNCClaret

The Man city squad would start dropping like flies if snows again and they get snowflakes in their eyes.....probably have to postpone their matches.

I'd rather have Weston McKennie. this speculation from last summer might actually get over the line. Juventus is hemorrhaging money right now, and while he does play, a lucrative offer might be too good to pass up. https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2021/08/31/report-burnley-now-in-talks-to-sign-tottenham-t...

We aren’t holding any possession. Any long passes are going nowhere

AshevilleNCClaret

Good thing we didn't sign Arthur.....

AshevilleNCClaret

I like Lennon. Even at 34, he would still be the fastest player on the team. He would be a useful late sub, fresh quick legs to close down players and put in a defensive shift.

AshevilleNCClaret

I think Klopp has never gotten over mee’s tackle on Gomez a few years ago.

Interesting that Brownhill getting some attention...

https://www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leed ... s-21341274

This would be very surprising..... can't see cork and/or westwood lasting the whole year.

and with ODegard to Arsenal, would take AMN, even on a loan.

AshevilleNCClaret

Anyone think that these behind-closed-door friendlies are going to be much more common? With squads really bound by Covid, this would allow good competition/game time for the squad players. when I look at that proposed ManU squad, that squad would definitely compete in the PL. I'm all for these frie...

So good something going against Arsenal though after all the shlt they have got away with against us over the years

I looked at the replay... Brentford just kinda stood in his way, the keeper either needs to push the player out of the way or flap their arms and fall on the ground to get the call.

Burnley/Brazil

AshevilleNCClaret

I know we were slightly linked but AMN is on the bench for Arsenal today., although he might only be there because they are missing Auba and Lacazette.... Got a feeling that he goes out on loan again before the deadline. The big tell for Cornet will be if he is in the lineup this Sunday when Lyon pl...

AshevilleNCClaret

there is a reason why leicester is after him. Great with his feet and distribution. Excellent defender. He just lacks mobility. Since his 'toe' injury he has been stellar. I would take 1 more year then leave on a free than selling him this summer

AshevilleNCClaret

Released by Bristol City...

Can't see any answer other than a big fat NO to signing him?

would have been a great signing...... 4 years ago.

The irony is that the Super League really isn't about forming a competitive league top to bottom, its really about keeping the elite clubs at the top. Everyone but the top 4 (Man City, Man U, Real Madrid, and Barca ) are going to be on playing for 5th place... I doubt there would be equal revenue sh...

What's the deal with the pitch? Seems like everyone has been slipping the last 5 minutes...

AshevilleNCClaret

I guess my concern is, if we keep these youngsters here, are they going to get any meaningful game time staying here, either in the PL or with our other squads.
Its great to see Benson and Mumbongo briefly play but hopefully it doesn't stunt their professional development.

AshevilleNCClaret

Not sure what you are getting at. We are now at the highest level of u23 football in the country having gone Cat 1. Players benefit from going out on loan when we can get them out, Benson and Glennon at Grimsby last season being good examples. It would seem better to keep them here on our under-23 ...

AshevilleNCClaret

This is probably a stupid question, but can someone explain U23 and Premier League 2? Is the level of competition good enough that players can develop? Loans are great but there is no guarantee they will get game time. I think we are going to be keeping some of youngsters here and getting on as a su...

Good thing I had Taco Bell for lunch... see you in about 10 minutes

I just got back from the bathroom... what did I miss?

Great run from Grealish

I was waiting for him to fall over

You have to give credit to Villa... all of them are battling inner-ear infections... its a wonder they can even stay on their feet !

AshevilleNCClaret

This Villa side couldn't buy a goal last year. They are looking very impressive. The big question is how long do they hold on to Grealish and Watkins.

That was a hard challenge by Shaw.... Cavani fell over and he was 40 yards way !

They surely have enough talent to not be relegated, but have looked completely uninterested. Teams in the relegation zone fight tooth and nail to get out of it and Arsenal need to be weary.

we are sitting way too deep.... our best bet is to lull them into thinking the match is theirs.. and then hope for a last minute equalizer.

I was hoping Bardsley would get the nod as well, but not sure of his status.
also, no Dale Stephens ?

Either will be 0-0 or will lose 5-0.......
