Can’t see any sense at all in keeping him on. Other than winning a dubious penalty against Southampton, he’s contributed absolutely nothing. I’m still convinced the only reason we brought him in the first place was to deflect attention away from selling Vokes when we were deep in the mire.

Sorry dsr, think I slightly misread your reply.

Re “political union”, what is it exactly you object to? The vast majority of domestic policy is still decided in Westminster.

One huge difference between the two seasons is that in the first we were fighting to get into the play offs and by the end of Feb, after the Sheffield Wednesday defeat, it wasn't looking likely. Then we hit that sensational form when suddenly we started keeping clean sheets at home. The first Dyche...

This is the crux, isn't it? I think that the UK would be better off outside the EU but trading with it on free trade terms. The EU also thinks that, which is why they won't allow it, because the EU also thinks that many of its member states would also like to be outside the EU but with free trade. ...

I like it, pretty good way to look at it. We went from the drab games under Cotterill with 9000 fans on to suddenly taking 7000 fans to Spurs on a Wednesday night, more media coverage than ever before, a dream of reaching the Premier League for the first time, the whole town became proud of their t...

That money was gone very quickly and I’ll accept that we did have parachute money to follow. But in no way at all will I ever accept or believe that what we are achieving today is partly because of that 2009 promotion. Surely without that promotion there’s a good chance we would have ended up in ad...

I’d be genuinely interested to hear what Coyle had to say and what his feelings are on how things have panned out for him personally and for Burnley Football Club. I like to think that never a day goes by when he doesn’t rue the day he left Burnley, and that maybe he looks at what Dyche has built in...

DSR- Interesting to say the EU “wants a deal that damages the uk”. That should worry you, given that it is by far our biggest trading partner (44% of exports). But it takes a Brexiteer to put it in those terms. The truth is that the EU does not want to “damage” the UK - it would much prefer to conti...

Farage is clearly panicking people. I have just skimmed through this thread and there is complete denial about the validity of his points.

That's a shocking stat. Hope to see more of Vydra and/or A N Other next season.

We could sign him and sturridge. They’d be great for a couple of matches a season.

I was at the back of the Lower Bullens, and it wasn’t great, but the view wasn’t as bad as it was from the back of the Anfield Road end - isn’t that supposed to be a “modern” stadium these days????

scouseclaret

That’s the way it’s generally done, but surely it’s just as fair to say that the team that was relegated needed 38 (or 39) points to survive that season.

scouseclaret

Something I’ve always wondered. When you talk about points needed to survive in any one season, should you look at the points gained by the third bottom team (ie the points needed to have finished above the highest relegated team) or fourth bottom (I.e the points the third bottom team would have nee...

I’m losing patience with Wood. He’s decent in front of goal but his complete lack of mobility and frequent loose touches when it matters are beginning to frustrate.

We played some fantastic football during the Championship winning campaign, and could go back further to our first promotion under SD. Barnes’s promotion clincher is one of the best “team” goals I’ve ever seen!

At Anfield recently... He made a similar mistake to that against West Brom a few seasons ago but got away with it. His kicking isn’t always the best (which no doubt counts against him, especially where the big clubs are concerned) and there certainly have been times when you thought “he might have ...

Not sure if it’s a good thing or not, but I spotted a couple of Japanese tourists at the match yesterday, fully bedecked in Clarets regalia.

Just being realistic and if we come 14th next season Im sure pretty much everyone will consider we have had a good season and done well.

The question is, “will you be able to complete your fixtures next season?” They haven’t been able to this year, what will change next year, apart from the fact they’ll have even less income? Out the league I’m afraid. Start again. There’s dozens of better run clubs non league that deserve a place m...

Getting a result against City would make headlines all over the world- it would be massive for us. Really can’t see it happening though.

Fairly sure most of us have sat in the home end occasionally following Burnley away. It's no big deal, there'll be the odd one or two dotted around the ground which is fine. The myth of 'hundreds' in the the home end is a popular story every year for some big game or other and never happens. I’ve d...

Some of those big 6 clubs could learn a lot from watching Burnley. Man U for a start! Or for another example, just look at our first goal tonight.

Fantastic. Ben Mee played like god.

Only disappointment was not putting that free kick in the box at the end - they can’t defend set pieces!

The second goal today said everything about the current Man U. Matic made absolutely no attempt to try and block Sigurdson’s shot. I thought at the time if he was playing for us he’d be scared to go in the dressing room at half time.

Re the Guardian article, who got sent off for us this season and which game - really can’t remember.

scouseclaret

The margins are very fine for clubs like us. Even with our crap first half of the season, we’re only 10 points off 7th, which is considerably less than the gap between 7th and top six, and only a couple more than the gap between us and Cardiff, which a few posters on here have been getting their kni...

Hilarious how people think a team who’ve got 28 points from 33 games and lost 6 of their last 7 are suddenly going to win 4 out of 5, including at least one against one of the best sides in the country.

Relax - Cardiff won’t get anywhere near us.

I’m probably the only non Liverpool fan in the country that wants them to win it. I’d also defiantly go to the title parade. It’ll astonishing. No you’re not. They haven’t won it since the year I moved to this city - maybe it’s my fault! Looking at the respective run-ins, I think they will as well.

Just out of interest, how would it look if we combined the first half of last season with the second half of this?

Was he right to point to the spot? Surely the correct course is to stop the game, speak to the Lino and then give the decision.
