Where us the dishonesty here - he's just referring to how the remaining games need to be approached?

Why now? Why weren't the others approached in the same way?

fidelcastro

Insulting the supporters would be him saying, with ten games to go, that he's given up and written-off the remaining games, despite the fact that most now recognise we will be relegated. He has to show hope and say we will approach the rest of the games positively, when asked. The days of managers ...

Fancy that, he wants to approach the rest of the season with hope rather than throwing in the towel.

There's hope and then there's just being delusional.

I'm one of the few who still defends Southgate, but Anthony Gordon?!!

Ok..I'll bite seeing as you felt the need to reply to your own message because you got no response within 5 minutes

Give it a rest eh?

Not at all. I wanted to put it all in one post, but had to leave the room and then ran out of time, but it doesn't make the point less valid.

fidelcastro

Perhaps "something special" is now classed as winning another game before the season ends?

fidelcastro

He's just trolling now. Surely?

fidelcastro

you'd be paying for next season, not retrospectively paying for this years performances. Obviously, but given the season we're enduring right now, a goodwill gesture would be good PR and show that they actually care about loyal fans. Some on here seem to be relishing a price increase. Strange menta...

If its less than £150 per ticket increase i wont bat an eyelid, anymore i'll look at it more.

Are you serious?

How could a £150 increase be justified after the season we're having?

fidelcastro

Great post AC.

I may be jumping the gun, as there might not be a price increase after all, but if there is, a show of solidarity by the fans would be just what was needed to show the board that we won't be taken for granted.

My favourite comment of 2024 so far. Thank you for that. Love it.

It wasn't that funny.

Hopefully not.

Any song that mentions moving mountains or swimming deepest seas or taking stars out of the sky for the one they love.

They were being heavily linked with him before or during the January transfer window but it was made clear we wouldn't sell.

Obviously we wouldn't want to sell such a valuable asset

Defensive Centre Midfield.

Wolves and Leicester already shown interest.

Other than that, ask his agent, we are expressing opinions here.

Wolves!

He's played plenty of times in a defensive centre midfield role. He's hardly set the place on fire, has he?

fidelcastro

No it isn't a joke. There will be more than one side interested in him if we don't extend his contract. Playing people in their better positions tends to work for lots of teams, for some reason VK chooses to do otherwise. He isn't going to be of interest to most teams but a few will look at him as ...

With a distinct chance Brownhill signs for a PL Team next season, who will our Pro Licence A fans pick on next?

Is that a joke?

Which PL team in their right mind would take Brownhill?

He wasn't going enough two years ago!

Lucky to stay on the pitch.

fidelcastro

Did anyone really expect us to win when 2-0 up as I certainly didn’t having watched us this season. The only surprise is we didn’t lose but nearly could have. Better first half but the game lasts for 90 +. You’d hope for some improvement somewhere on the pitch over an entire season. It was hope mor...

I don't get him either, obviously has an amount of ability but tries his best not to show it. Seems more interested in falling over and moaning. I'm genuinely not bothered in the summer when he goes back

On another day Assignon gets a red. His yellow was ridiculous, for kicking the ball two yards away, then he followed it up with feigning injuries and giving the ref and linesman verbals.

Kompany knew how to mix it as a player too, remember?

He no doubt actively encourages it.

fidelcastro

My biggest gripe from today is the amount of silly yellow cards we picked up. Some of them are completely stupid and unnecessary e.g., for kicking the ball away. Delcroix was the prime example, comes on as sub, conceded a throw in and then ran off with the ball to get a yellow card. Completely stup...

I can't get on board with the cheating and playacting that occurs every game from us now either.

Barnes was a saint compared to some of the mard arses who currently wear the shirt.

I'm falling out of love with football fast.

I don't think he's been that bad. Won some duels, worked hard but I can't get how he didn't score that chance in the last minute...

I thought he made us visibly weaker.

If the Brownhill sub was tactical, it didn't bloody work!

A good stream for once.

Thanks Buxton!

I think we must have got the sympathy card after seeing that handball decision.

I think they'll still go down, but unlike us, they'll go down fighting.

We're going down with a whimper.

In other words, you pay the same whenever you buy a ST?

Dyche chose to spend more on wages, VK has chosen to spend more on fees. Money is money. £100m on fees when your wage bill is 40m is different to £100m on fees with a £90m wage bill. VK also sold £70m worth of players last season and spend half of that. I forgot you were privy to how much players e...

Then you should know better than to ‘expect’ Burnley to be competitive in the PL. We have relatively small spend (yes even including the £100m we’ve spent across 10 players this season), we have youth facilities behind some championship sides and generate funds far below that of a lot of Championsh...
