Watched the Labour bloke take Stoke last night.... I was hoping for a sign of a "new" Labour (not a New Labour) to take the party forward... so we could start to have a democracy again in the future... instead the impression given was another its another Champagne socialist, offering nothing but sou...

I think UKIP need to take a long hard look at themselves or risk becoming completely irrelevant. Mr. Nuttall is the party leader and yet (through his or others close to himself) has become tarred as a liar and opportunist. It was Nigel's personality that dragged UKIP to the success they got and PN d...

There was a long interview posted (on here I think) from the press where Mr Garlick states that they have been offered serious money to sell several times already but the current board are not interested in letting outsiders take control of the club. The impression he gave was the right investment w...

Outrageous if true. They may not have been impressive last night but 2-1 with an away goal is a cracking result at Saville. One of the few Premier managers I would enjoy spending time in the company of and still one of the top mangers, way above what Leicester should be expecting to attract.

This post shows the sad individuals on this board.... not banter, just a bullying mass of scumbags and hypocrites all behaving like the blacburn fans attacking one man and a child at the man utd fixture,and no doubt voicing their outrage at that incident what a bunch bullies you are,sad fu..as!

I've been watching Burnley long enough not to be floored by anything. There was a time when it was more or less the norm to play like that. Getting beaten at home by the likes of Rochdale or Halifax commonplace. Just shows how things have changed its even seen as a shock .

Accrington has been badly hit initial estimates are over £200,000 worth of improvements.

elwaclaret

Seems to be mostly positive. I hope your right. Hull's upturn in form, combined with them being really fancying themselves against us to help their plight leads me to believe there is a right tonking in the offing for us if we're not going all out from the first minute. Will we get a reaction? I hop...

Banned for life is a bit strong, but certainly has done his reputation no favours. I was championing him (not being able to see his antics at the other end of the pitch) but now I'm very ; to use the modern vernacular..... Meh

elwaclaret

Me neither. Always seems capable but after a decent start always seems to degenerate into a bit of a shambles.... he's picked yet another hiding to nothing with this one.

elwaclaret

Someone you knew then.
People get carried away in the moment but decency should lead to self control around women and children. Sadly respect and good manners are something we see less and less these days.

elwaclaret

No idea didn't look good but the Lincoln fans were well away from it anyway and so could not know. There reaction was no worse than our fans would have been given similar circumstances. Do not really understand why it has bothered you.

elwaclaret

Didn't notice much live but from what I've seen since getting home he let himself and Burnley down badly today. It was a game he should have had the nouse to boss with impunity, sadly instead he embarrassed himself nationally. He wasn't alone in that but his antics were not what we have come to expe...

To be fair thought Sam didn't look 100% today. I'm a big fan of Vokes but he looked off the pace and never at any point looked the player we know he can be.

elwaclaret

A lot of this sounds like sour grapes to me. He is what he is, he came to do a job and it wasn't pretty but he unsettled our lot who should have dealt with it easily. Reminded me of a tall overweight Ashley Barnes. To try to ridicule him suggests to me some of our fans think we had a right to win to...

I've given Flanagan the benefit of the doubt up to today but that non performance was something else. Amazed at just how poor his distribution was. You don't expect that from someone who trained with Liverpool so long and was lorded as an up and coming star a couple of years ago.

Churchill was a lunatic??? :shock: A great leader but at times s nutty as a fruitcake. He used to hold meetings from the bath. Was prone to bouts of Manic depression. Appearently liked corn flakes for breakfast, but preferred to cover them with whisky rather than milk. As a young man had it seemed ...

elwaclaret

Good article. I read from it that Mr Garlick used the interview to cast a net out for people interested in putting some wedge in to join the party but not to takeover the club. He's a very smart cookie and I'm delighted he's got the reigns. At times I've wondered if he was building to be another Bob...

With all that confidence they do realise we don't have Joe Neenan in goal any more don't they?

I don't take beating them for granted btw I've been watching football too long for that.

elwaclaret

Don't know how anyone could deny every member of the team was excellent today. Some people only see sweeping passes , last ditch tackles and goals as having a good game. A player like Westwood will never appeal to them. To me a good holding midfielder you hardly notice during the game but the opposi...

Must admit, I find the Sunderland fans on the whole some of the most sensible I've come across in their opinions. There are the muppets who follow them, just like we have but on the whole I like Sunderland fans

elwaclaret

Interesting that one poster said that SD should have walked out after we didn't back him after the first promotion and tipped up at Sunderland. While I worried at the time that it might happen, it now seems clear that SD had bought into all aspects of the Burnley re-build and accepted that our first...

I was talking to Tony Livesey and GordonClaret (separately) last night. Tony said 1-1 would be fantastic, Gordon that both sides would score... I told both I thought we'd get something today...... think there must have just been something in the air All three of us have been watching Burnley far too...

Could not agree more. Lawton was fantastic today

elwaclaret

At this rate I'm surprised he hasn't had an England call up considering he's supposedly soo good. There was one player in our midfield who stood out today and it wasn't Westwood. I don't know what game you were watching. The Burnley midfield did an incredible job today. They were playing one of the...

Rather strange Wright's lack of feeling towards Burnley.... he certainly seemed happy enough while he was with us.

elwaclaret

Thought their players were very respectful to our lads at the end. Can't imagine Arsenal smiling and shaking hands if they'd have been the ones getting the Burnley treatment today. A cracking honest English game, I think the Chelsea players enjoyed it to be fair.

elwaclaret

I don't care if he is from Zarg did a sterling job for us today. Kept his discipline and showed he is a far more capable player than Villa fans wanted us to believe.

elwaclaret

Think we showed today that we are no longer gate crashing the Premier party. We can match the best team in the country without requiring fingernails.

elwaclaret

Think it was a very fair commentary in general. Jamie Carrigher [sic?] was also very respectful to us. Get the feeling that the praise is no longer quite as begrudging as it was.

elwaclaret

Did anyone go to either of these games? A crucial late goal for the Germans is what gave them the chance in the return leg and then put us out by one goal away, again late on. Remarkable to think the next game would have been a Semi Final against Barcelona!!! Hamburg drew that on aggregate but went...

Lived all over the country but been living in Accrington for 18 months now.... it really is the arsehole of hell. Its like they've decided to congregate all the **** in one area. Absolutely hate it

Sad to hear her devil may care attitude always made me smile. She was privileged and she knew it but never came across as thinking herself superior for that. Lived life to the max and as nutty as a fruitcake. Britain has lost a true eccentric today.

Saxo does come out with some shite at times but I see nothing wrong with a bit of banter over results; that's what having rivals is all about it was always thus. People are far too keen to be offended these days.

No I know a lot of people have Sunderland down as dead certs but with the players now returning from Africa I think the boost they get might just see them get their act together a bit.

Never mind new songs bring back Bananarama!

Nanananana.... Burnley! (If you start practicing now you'll know the words by our next home game

Still think "Hark Now Hear" does not get an airing often enough.

Maradonna (I was supporting the other team at the match). Teddy Sheringham in his pomp was pretty awesome to watch live. Same for Jasper Olsen. Most devastating would probably be Tinman for Derby (he absolutely tore us a new one). Truth is there's been loads but I always hope they'll have stinkers a...

Relegation Candidates is too strong but as I said on another thread.... There is the Leicester precedent. I think we would be unlucky to get dragged into it now but its far from beyond the realms of possibility. For what its worth I fancy Hull, Middlesbro and AN NOTHER to fall through the trap come ...

I still maintain that 35 points will keep you up. Swansea might have had a bit of a spurt since Clement took over, but the chances of it continuing indefinitely aren't that high. But there is the Leicester precedent. I think we would be unlucky to get dragged into it now but its far from beyond the...

Could be a master stroke. Welcome to Burnley.

Right winger....a.k.a. right whinger. You need a blend in mi9dfield. You need players like Defour but they look bobbins without a terrier there to break things up and win possession. You cannot have any clue how Westwood will perform for us he's clearly been unsettled at Villa for a while.... they t...

There is nothing like giving a player a decent chance is there. Sam Vokes wasn't rated by Wolves. Dean Marney wasn't rated by Spurs or that highly by Hull. Trippier and Mee were not seen as Premier standard by City. Keane wasn't rated good enough for United. But hey Aston Villa fans are the font of ...

It would surprise me if they were signed and were not at tonight's match. While its not normal to introduce signings, (Gazza being an exception) it is not often such momentous signings are made by the club on the day of a match.... If they're done and dusted in time.

elwaclaret

There is absolutely no chance we'd shoot ourselves in the foot late in the window, we have learnt lessons (I want to believe that anyway). Surely we would say ''when we find a replacement he can leave'' then leave them hanging and never show any intention to look for a replacement, it's about time ...

According to SSN Everton are still trying to put together a package that is acceptable to Burnley for this to happen today. Though admit it would take a hell of an offer.

Why give him such a hard time? He barely had a chance at Burnley. I wish him well. A case of inverted snobbery from some posters on here. He barely had a chance? He has spent the last 6 months training every day with the first team, if he had really been busting a gut on the training ground and pro...

Just one example of us being shunned I'm afraid. Did anyone else notice a distinct lack of silver foil cardboard cut outs of the FA Cup at the Turf yesterday? Clearly the FA didn't send us any.
