Who won goal of the mknth in Feb then??

Claretmatt4

Another vote for Food Banks and Pendleside Hospice.

I no longer live in the area but would still like the charities to be focused in and around Burnley.

Claretmatt4

More a case of how we would replace Gibson if we got paid cash for him surely?

Claretmatt4

People who go to gigs/matches and instead of enjoying the moment film it on their phones. Plenty of stuff to agree with here but this is the worst one. I've seen someone on Facebook mid song at a gig before. Live your life, when are you gonna watch that video back you gimp!! Even worse, people who ...

For a while I was prepared to give Delfouneso the chance. He made some good runs without the pass forthcoming. But over a long enough period bad luck becomes bad form...

Pretty clear though that he's absolutely pants. League 2 probably his level.

Claretmatt4

Surely it had to be done for everyone not just these two leagues? Championship clubs will just be able to gazump the best players in L1 and L2.

It's putting these clubs at a significant disadvantage.

It's successful in the US because there is no relegation and these are franchises not clubs.

It's idiots like Trump spouting nonsense that will cause further instability in the region, he's better keeping his trap shut and not commenting on things he knows nothing about.

May as well become a mute in that case

Claretmatt4

Ha? Really?

70 dead... Thousands injured.

Claretmatt4

Surprised nobody has mentioned Ben Mee. Always been solid but his captaincy has pushed him even further I think.

Bars, restaurants, pubs and gyms to stay open according to the local MP.

So guess you can have a beer and kick about by yourself at said locations

It's a place where people go to play football, and it's staying open. How can that be safer than being at the house of a neighbour?

Claretmatt4

Sensational news for me.

I live in Accrington, but drove to Manchester this evening to play 7 a side. Then on to Bradford to see the Mrs for the weekend.

How can you go from having pubs and 5 a side centres open to this?!

Claretmatt4

I've got a few... Beating Liverpool 2-0 3(?) years ago when Gray and Vokes bagged. I was interrailing at the time and managed to find a bar showing the game thanks to ZizkovClaret. Ended up getting a post match guided tour of the city too which was a grand end to a fine day! Chelsea in the League Cu...

Claretmatt4

Hard to argue with most of that. Although Fernandes only played half of the season didn't he?

Claretmatt4

Low Sheff U away. I was really looking forward to that trip and convinced we'd get a result. Add in England's Rugby WC loss too, was a shocker of a day.

Highs United away, made up for the above and then sme, especially living and working in Manchester at the time!

Claretmatt4

Maybe on a tiebreaker but ederson a clear game ahead.

Pope made 112 saves (5th)
Ederson made 65 (2nd fewest)

Pope has definitely had to do more to earn those clean sheets. That being said Ederson is a class keeper. It's nice to have Pope in that company!

I would argue that both West Brom and Leeds will struggle if they don’t get themselves a decent striker. I imagine both will really struggle to score goals similar to Norwich

Charlie Austin?

Claretmatt4

Because the #22 Jersey is such a coveted number.

Wonder if theyd have done it if he was number 7 or number 10?

Claretmatt4

Also been at the duloingo for a while now although in truth my interest is waning. I do feel it is a bit gamified, nothing replaces learning the language for real in a foreign country. I stopped worrying about using the app and started writing down for real to help. I also got a speaking CD online a...

Mine is in. Surname L for Langoustine. Must be alphabetical perhaps?

Claretmatt4

A lot more wins by 2 and 3 goals than in recent seasons. Pulling away from some of the lower teams.

Claretmatt4

For me the ideal central defence partnership should be a limited defender and a ball playing defender (to use football manager isms). Your limited defender should be primarily good at tackling, marking, heading, blocking and should have good anticipation, positioning, bravery and awareness. Passing ...

Claretmatt4

Camera work is the problem! Focusing on tarky whilst we are pressing with an attack!!

Claretmatt4

Boro?

Id imagine if you lived in Newcastle you'd refer to the team almost exclusively as the Toon

Claretmatt4

Ba5tards?

Pompey?

Claretmatt4

I dont believe for a second a club wouldn't hire a manager because be is black - but there must be an underlying reason why fewer black players go into coaching. Need to work out why and fix it.

Claretmatt4

To be fair the commentators and commentary is more aimed at West Ham as they have a lot more fans/viewers than us plus neutrals will be a lot more interested in West Ham With that in mind its understandable that their b-team commentators (Man City is the big game) dont know everything about us and ...

Claretmatt4

Seems to be a good mix of initiatives to help a lot of people. Not a fan of this government but some people just desperate to pick holes in anything. It's an unprecedented level of support

Claretmatt4

Sounds like nobody is actually sure why it's there. Definitely has an American feel to it.

Claretmatt4

Ben has been my favourite player for some time now and this escapade has just shown me what a great human being and man he is - as well as being a lionheart in the field. are so lucky to have him. Mr Burnley.

I think we should close the thread, as the poster of the original message couldn’t be bothered with the hassle in the end but had no problem enlisting the time of multiple posters off topic on a Burnley fc message board

Not my intention whatsoever. Sorry you feel that way.

Claretmatt4

Appreciate all the replies everyone. Whilst I still think I was in the right to query the amount they wanted to charge, in the end we just paid them in full, purely as I couldn't be bothered with the hassle. I'm going to whinge about the letting agent on social media to vent my frustration as they h...

I rented for 10 years and lived in 8 different properties. Your deposit will be protected. Go to the Housing Ombudsman Scheme (HOS), which is specifically set up to adjudicate between landlords and tenants in these situations. Present your evidence and they will also speak with your landlord. It ma...

Just checked and we are with the tenancy deposit scheme

Claretmatt4

Just pay up, as already mentioned your ex flatmate appears to be the problem, it can be a problem mutually sharing property as tenants when cleanliness issues arise usually goes unnoticed whilst in occupancy, it's when either or both move out problems emerge down the line, the agency are well withi...

Claretmatt4

Yeah this will be coming out of our deposit which they hold. This gives them all the power unfortunately.

Interwsting on the three quote thing. I'll bear that in mind.

Claretmatt4

Hi clarets, hope you're all well! I have a bit of a dispute with my landlord and hoped you could offer opinions and advice. I recently vacated a 2 bed flat in the centre of Manchester after living there almost 3 years with a colleague. Before I vacated I cleaned the flat extensively, although I let ...

Claretmatt4

Duff next manager? If I was Duff and had the opportunity I’d stay well clear and remain at Cheltenham. We seem an absolute shambles. A laughing stock at the moment. Not good no matter how you try and spin it. Dyche will be gone at the end of the season I am positive of that. He has had enough and I...

Signing in from Salford. Not confident but hoping for the best!

I think that takes Cardiff above Rovers.

Correct! It's quite tight around that part of the league. About 3pts separate 6th and 12th

Claretmatt4

Can’t work out if the standard is poor this season or not, but either way it’s not going to take a large points total to go up. Might even be as low as 75-76 points to clinch second. That would be virtually impossible given the top two are on 71 at the moment with 8 games to play. Might be as low a...

Disappointed he didn't stay until the end of the season. Understand he's probably after more long term security at this stage in his career.

Looked good in fits and spurts but never really shone.

Good luck Aaron

Claretmatt4

One of my favourites. Have been raiding tesco weekly for this stuff.had it in Sheffield tap last year, despite the huge variety I ended up just sticking to that as it was so good. Certainly helped numb the result!

Claretmatt4

We've certainly been spoiled in recent times with puma who I think have consistently given us great designs. Nothing wrong with umbro mind

Surprised the tin foil kit didn't get a mention though

Claretmatt4

I remember being surprised when he went to Chelsea, after having a fairly mediocre career up to that point, then he looked very good the season they won the league as a wing back.

I do worry he was made to look good in a good team, and that's before talking about wages.

£10m is a lot of money

Claretmatt4

Would have him back in a heartbeat but that sort of money would cripple us, covid or not. If he wants to come back he'd have to take a wage cut and the same incentive laden contracts we give to everyone else. I think nearer the £8m to £10m mark is about right, and if that isn't enough to get him bac...
