Some of these people are so stupid. Another one that, given the small sample size on here, is going to be pretty much universally vilified by the fans from now on. That’s before we even think about what other teams players and even his own players think about him given they probably mostly have pets...

There was also Chelsea away a few seasons ago when, I think, we lost 3 - 0 but had the ball for a lot of the first 20 mins. I remember saying that it looked like they wanted us to have the ball and then bang, game over.

What a load of garbage. A Newcastle win keeps Everton nicely in the mix. Frank is already on the defensive having to explain Adele’s coat et all. The more teams in the mix the better.

Hibsclaret

I don’t reckon the wind helped tbh. Should be better second half, fingers crossed.

Bit different to the conditions that Max has been playing in for the last few weeks. I hope he can adapt nicely.

The funniest bit for me was when the one that got fired was preparing for the pitch and suggested they could possibly get away with the spelling error because most people would spell Arctic as Artic. Unbelievable how some of these get selected for the process. Clueless.

Just curious as to what criteria you are basing this on. Personally, I'm unable to find anything to support your undeniable optimism. Criteria We haven’t played half a season yet We haven’t finished below them for, probably, about 30 years They have 11 points from their last 16 games and the promot...

And like most people in the Netherlands they'll also speak English better than many people in England.

Indeed. Always nice to have an early chin wag in your own lingo to get the lie of the land though.

Brentford are 11 points ahead of us and we have 5 games in hand. In recent seasons we have gained 11 points in 5 games during January and February. Wood has never been anywhere near the second best striker in the league. I have absolutely no doubt that we will finish above Brentford. If we beat Watf...

Hibsclaret

I love all the comparisons to the likes of Brentford being creative in the market. I reckon they are one of the teams that will go down and that we will finish above. Buying the likes of Eriksen is a massive risk, much bigger than buying a striker with stats second only to Lewandowski in the Bundesl...

Hibsclaret

It’s nice to see Pieters with him as they both speak the same lingo it’s always good to have a compatriot in the club to ease into the group.

Hibsclaret

Wood only got to 1 in 2 ratio for Leeds at Championship level and has been roughly 1 in 3 since. Wout has had a 1 in 2 ratio for the last 6 years consistently at Eredivisie and latterly Bundesliga levels. I would suggest that Eredivisie is at Championship level or thereabouts with the Bundesliga som...

From the goals reel he looks very confident in one on one situations which is a real positive, some very classy finishes in Germany that’s for sure. Some of the defending looks a class below the prem but there is a big positive in his knack of being in the right place and the ease in which he can be...

Hibsclaret

I would suggest goals against Bayern Munich & Dortmund is comparable to City & Liverpool. On the basis of that we now have someone who can score occasionally against the very best.

SSN just said breaking news from Burnley after break

Hibsclaret

Ramsey is a level above the midfielders we have seen at Burnley since Dobbo with the possible exception of Defour. Will be more than impressed if we get him.

Hibsclaret

And I would be shocked, especially at somewhere like Chelsea, if Lampard had any say on any of them signings. Irrespective of whether he had any say in signings as Chelsea manager the job was to manage the vast amount of talent at his disposal. This is something that Tuchel has done far better than...

To the shout Tears for Fears.

These are the things to keep the Championship out

Hibsclaret

This could be good for us. Another team in the mix and a manager with no experience of a relegation battle. Tuchel has shown him how he should have managed Chelsea. Vast difference between the experience of managers like Ancellotti and Benitez compared to a younger manager, particularly one who was ...

Some players seem to enjoy playing with a smile on their face as they earn their salaries. Others act like Wilfred.

For all the doom and gloom we have lost the same number of games as Leicester and West Ham this season. No game is must win with 21 left.

Hibsclaret

I think we’ll get at least a draw. A big performance from a fully united squad.

My bet365 free fiver has been lumped on the away win. That’s confidence for you.

Hibsclaret

I reckon Brentford go down with Watford and one other. Most likely Norwich but I wouldn’t rule out Newcastle (they were lucky today). I just don’t see Dyche taking us down tbh.

Hibsclaret

We don’t actually need to win another game to stay up. 21 draws could do it. Everyone needs to stop panicking tbh. We haven’t even played half a season yet.

Sad news. Meat and Steinman both gone. Brilliant album is bat out of hell, one of the very best of all time. Some of the others not bad either.

Be better off with Shakin Stevens up front…

Orsic looks good if we could get him.

Hibsclaret

Not sure interesting is the word. They will pretty much unanimously have us relegated as they always seem to do. As for Merson, the other week he had changed his mind about whether we were in trouble or not within an hour of the show. He completely contradicted his opinion during the analysis.

Imagine what some of those would have been worth today...

There’s probably none of that list less than 25m at their peak tbh. In fact if Wood is 25m Jimmy Mcilroy would be Mbappe levels.

Hibsclaret

What a stupid post. Last time we were in the championship we didn’t even lose for 23 games. God knows how we could possibly lose a game in league 1. Imagine playing games every week without the possibility of a loss. Far too boring. You need all 3 possible outcomes to make for an exciting spectacle.

Not really a surprise that you are an advocate of that function. I bet there’s not a dry eye in your house

Now we have comparisons to the Laws era

Why on earth would the assistant manager try tactics of his own? He is part of a team where the manager employs the tactics in every game whether he is absent or not. Dyche would have been watching and directing as normal yesterday. As for the OP, I agree totally. The amount of bs on here about, the...

Hibsclaret

There has definitely been interest in Dyche from outside. It is blatantly obvious. We are one of, probably, a few if any clubs in the league where the manager is the highest paid person at the club. That tells me there has definitely been interest from elsewhere and that he is the most important per...

Hammered in the 6th round replay at Hillsborough springs to mind.

We could do a best ever Burnley rejects eleven. A bit like Bully’s look at what you could’ve won. That’s not a bad 3 to start.

Hibsclaret

Speaks well and conveys his ideas well, but I still find his comments about relegation and how it would not really impact the club incredibly naive. This is absolutely correct and I too think he speaks very well. However, relegation to us would be obviously very challenging and expensive and whilst...

Anyone comparing premier league football to league 2 wants to give their head a wobble. It’s like comparing Test Match cricket with Lancashire league stuff. There is really no need to be alarmed. I’d be alarmed if we were the best team in league 2 not the perceived worst in the prem. Also it is not ...

Hibsclaret

More conjecture. Leeds have less points than Bournemouth had the season they went down. Let’s all just relax and see what happens. We have more experience than pretty much all of the rivals in the bottom half of the table. Anyone from Palace down can get relegated quite feasibly this season if you l...

Hibsclaret

Definitely possible that he could have saved the first for sure. I think you are being a bit harsh on the third tbh as the keeper was unlucky. We definitely miss Pope because he is so good and rarely makes mistakes tbh.

In the two previous seasons we've been relegated we had 5 wins in 2009/10 and 3 wins in 2014/15 after 17 games unlike the 1 we have after 17 games this season, in 2009/10 we won 8 games in total and 7 in 2014/15 we won't win no where near that amount of games this season

I have one thing to say about our Sean. My Mrs has noted that his favourite words are Premier League because he uses the words an incredible amount of times during the pre match press conferences. I believe he is destined to keep us in the league so he can continue to use his favourite words at ever...

Time for another pointless thread.

Could this Einsteinesque analysis not have been added to one of a number of the enthralling whingefests currently littering the board like the finest of Shakespearean works?

No other manager would give us a better chance of staying up and currently we have as good a chance of staying up as we had in other seasons we have stayed up. Keep the faith.

Hibsclaret

We have these threads every season. It’s nonsense talking about 7 or 8 wins needed given we could draw every game and stay up. When you add that to the fact that the bookies have 3 other teams at evens or odds on to go down it is indeed a pointless question. There’s 55% of our season left and what o...
