I've always liked Spotland.

boatshed bill

He didn't pull up any trees at coventry, but that is mainly because he was played out of position.

boatshed bill

It was rejected who brought it to our notice that Sunderland are 210Mil in debt. That being the case there is no way they can afford to buy anyone, even if they do off load Defoe. If they neglect there plight and go ahead anyway then the Football League should keep it in mind when they go tits up a...

OK. I think I agree that selling Defoe is preparing for next season in Championship (they might not escape if he stays). I agree, if Sland are "short of money" taking £80k per week off the wage bill will help. If I was Brady, would I think "great, I'm going to get £50k a week - and be playing in th...

I really like Hendrick's activity in the wall.

"The signing-on fee is one way round the problem but, as I say, there are exceptions to the rule this year and at least three are earning more than the others with an unsigned contract on the table for a player at £35k per week" Will take a guess that it's Keane being offered 35k a week ???

I prefer a more cautious attitude, and 40 points is well within our ability.

There's something to be said for continuity, and giving a chance of EPL football to those who have earned it.

boatshed bill

4 wins and a couple of draws will almost certainly see us stay up, fantastic position to be in.

I should think so, ridiculous if true!

Great picture of two genuine legends!

Already more wins than last time, nothing to criticise here.

boatshed bill

I think Hull have a chance of staying up if they can keep Snodgrass.

boatshed bill

This is madness, Blackstock is not a registered agent. I believe that registered players are not allowed to be agents at the same time. But one thing I'm not sure about: is it compulsory that every player has to have an agent now? Can they not negotiate their own deals?

boatshed bill

Oh, if they buy every good player available, then the standard might be ok, but that will take time and to be honest, I can't see me staying up to watch a Chinese game Same here, I can hardly be bothered with EPL in general (only watch Burnley), but the viewing population in the far east is a massi...

boatshed bill

Look how long it took the MLS to be "established", and its still pretty poor standard. The irony of Chelsea fans whining about big spending China is delicious btw I suppose the difference is that the Chinese are head-hunting top players, where the MLS mainly attracted has-beens. Oscar is the tip of...

I did find a quote from Norwich saying we'd made a bid, can't find the link now.

I think the problem is with the Chairmen, the Owners and the TV Companies. The players are the product and will take what they can, very few would reject a pay increase in any walk of life. I believe it will go 'POP' one day, just not yet. I totally agree with that. The important thing is to retain...

There are quality International players in abundance sitting on their backsides week in, week out who will take the mantle.

JohnMac, I think it has a lot to do with the big bookies on line.

Burnley have made an offer worth up to £13m for Norwich winger Robbie Brady, 24. The Republic of Ireland international is also wanted by Crystal Palace and Sunderland. (Daily Mirror)

This from BBC Sport

Yes, the players are greedy, but they are not the problem; television money and the global tv audience is the problem.
Bob (The True Visionary) Lord was so right!

Yeah, best of luck to him, done nothing but his best for BFC. This is a great move for him, and a probable promotion too.

Against our bogey teams?

boatshed bill

It looks like £13m or no point in pursuing it to me, even if it seems daft to anyone else. If we don't match it we won't get him.

Leicester have bidded £10m, and with them selling Schlupp I can see them getting him. http://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/leicester-city-transfer-rumours-10m-bid-for-norwich-and-republic-of-ireland-winger-robbie-brady/story-30055476-detail/story.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Nei...

FactualFrank wrote:I'll agree with that Bill... thankfully, you're not

Going from a back 4 to a back 3 isn't something you just do off the cuff, unless you're playing football/championship manager.

I was really thinking of it as a back 7!

Anyhow, Sean's got my number if he needs it

If I was manager (thankfully I'm not) I would do this:
Heaton,
Tarkowski, Keane, Mee,
Lowton, Defour,Barton, Hendrick,Ward,
Barnes, Gray

Always seemed like a great person, and one who'd racked up some proper achievements in his career. Thankfully we got a good opportunity to pay tribute to him with that Watford game, there was a really good send-off for him from all 4 stands, As others have already said, he was really good on the ra...

Snodgrass is one of the best players in the bottom third of the league, no question about it.
£5m is a steal.

boatshed bill

I've just had a look at our fixtures. Basically, if we could average two points a game against the teams currently below us we'll be allright (39 points)...
tough task, but not impossible.

boatshed bill

Have we ever actually shown any interest in Narsingh?

boatshed bill

Similar to "The Black Cats", I like "The Flat Caps", and it strengthens our Northern stereotype

boatshed bill

1. most likely
2. probably
3. unsurprised, though a little disappointed

boatshed bill

A question regarding bringing in new players:
We can only name 25 (plus under 23's?), so we probably only have one space left.
Can we take unsold current squad members out to make room for incoming players?

boatshed bill

Agreed. I have been reflecting on my 50+ years of watching Burnley, and bearing in mind the division in which we are playing, we haven't had many better. Top of my RB list would still be the first I saw - the legendary John Angus, then it would be Keith Newton and Trippier, followed by Lowton. (I h...

Whilst survival is within our ability, I doubt that regular top ten finishes would be.

Not a bad draw, as long as we take care of Sunderland of course.

Still at Fleetwood, played yesterday.

He did well to keep Defoe outside him, and Keane was in a good position having recovered from getting turned easily (which was actually the cause of the situation). But we were lucky not to concede the penalty.
