He's scored 4 goals in 30 appearances in the league this season. That's in a team that creates plenty of chances. I'm sure VK can find a younger striker that does everything he does and scores a few goals. You can't afford to carry a player in the PL for sentimental reasons. He'll be nowhere near go...

It's not about worrying for me, more about looking forward to the step up with a totally different set up (my word, it even rhymes). I've really enjoyed this season and the great transition brought by our Belgian contingent a lot ;) but lately we seem to be the Man City of the championship, and win...

Stan Tastic

He did well to make the chance for himself last night and only chose the wrong option by not lobbing the keeper earlier when he was more off his line. If we play through balls to him and cross onto his head that would help enormously. Passing side to side constantly at the back is not going to get ...

I remember Andy Payton planting one past Neville Southall when NS was on loan to Southend, in the late Eighties. Think we won 1-0.

I think you've got the wrong decade.

Stan Tastic

Wout is a deep lying, high pressing, false striker who pulls defenders out of position. He can't be expected to do anything else, whatever that might be.

Stan Tastic

Call me old fashioned but I prefer strikers that score goals. There are teams in the Premier League that have strikers that work hard and score goals. Why settle for one that doesn't?

Stan Tastic

Those passes by Ekdal and Roberts were what you'd expect from a top playmaker.

Burnley 7 Spurs 2 in 1964. I was definitely at this game aged six, but I'm not sure it was my first. I'd like to think so, as it was quite the debut. I thought Jimmy Greaves scored both their goals but when I checked he scored one and Cliff Jones the other.

Burnley 0 Arsenal 3 on September 28th 1963. Would love to know what our line-up was that day as I was very young and I can only remember a few details!

Blacklaw
Talbut
Angus
Miller
Adamson
Harris
Morgan
Joyce
Connelly
Lochhead

You can see the high fence on the Bee Hole End where they sectioned it off behind the goal to stop people throwing stuff into the goalmouth. Ruined the look of the Turf until they realised it was a waste of time and got rid of it. There was one at the Cricket Field End too, where I'm guessing most o...

I am one Claret fan who has happy memories of Luton and their ground. It was a match in which our Leighton James scored two brilliant goals and tore Luton apart with a wonderful display of 'wing art.'Cannot recall the exact date but I think it was during our Championship winning season in the old 2...

Ok ill take your point, you meant a lot more than you said and where not articulate enough to encompass all your thoughts and i should realise that where numerous things in the post that you didn’t say , and people who cant read your mind, worry you and give you cause for concern. I should not poin...

I worry youve not seen enough of our games and how effective muric is at that long pass, and how often he utilises it to great effect. But if you dont like being picked up on inaccuracies, as you say that would be worrying Muric's pinpoint long passing is not the same as aimlessly hoofing it down t...

You mean like muric on Saturday to Barnes and the flick of the defenders shoulder for tella’s 3rd

That was once, not continuously hoofing it long, though I suspect you realise that. If you didn't, that's worrying.

Everton might as well be playing with 10 here, Simms is absolute gash up front. It's a good example of why we need one of Jay or Ashley for next season

VK's not going to have them humping long balls down the channels for a lone striker.

Stan Tastic

I believe it’s Readings 106pt season 05-06 season? They also got 10 wins. We could better it, IF we can get a positive result against against Watford. Personally I dont want us to get 11 in a row; It doesnt sound as good as ‘wooooah, Burnley’s won ten in a row!’ :D It's one more. These go to 11.

Stan Tastic

Burnley fans are well out of order in CaptJohn's imagination.

Come on guys, show patience and get behind the team in his imaginary scenario.

Just looked at our previous promotion seasons since it went three points per game 1981/82 - 46 points 1991/92 - 56 points 1993/94 - 50 points 1999/00 - 54 points 2008/09 - 43 points 2013/14 - 56 points 2015/16 - 52 points In the 1973 promotion season after 29 games we would've had 57 points with th...

We've got 13 points more after 29 games than we had in the last promotion season of 2016.

Sotona was quicker than Rashford when he was 16 apparently. When Sotona was 16, not Rashford.

A very rare start for Colin Morris for us at No.7 and that's Dave Thomas at No.7 for QPR.

I wonder how we could've progressed more if we hadn't sold Thomas to QPR. Him on one wing and Taffy on the other, supplying crosses to Fletcher and Hankin who were both good in the air.

Stan Tastic

I'm defending Muric and I'm a 'boomer'. It gets annoying when people assume all people of a certain age-group are of the same opinion. Especially when those opinions are really stupid.

Stan Tastic

Just watched this for the first time without knowing the score, which was a surreal experience.
I'd been on the previous game, which was the shock home defeat to non-league Wimbledon in the FA Cup third round.

Would be handy to have a keeper though! We may as well play another holding midfielder!

Only Sheffield United have conceded less goals.

Can't get my bearings on this - Is the stand with the Flake advertisement where the Longside is, and the other stand where the Bob Lord is? Burnley centre in the distance at 0.39? The house in the far corner of the 'Flake' stand - Would that be near enough where the Cricket Club is? That 'house' wo...

You’ve too much time on your hands buddy😊 Yes you’re right, the math doesn’t add up, I’ll be more precise in my next post, if I have more time, Let’s do a reset then:- I think the only loan we keep will be Beyer, I don’t think we’ll be able to get ThB, and the others, imo aren’t good enough for the...

The thing is NC93, you throw out figures for players to suit your argument when you’ve no idea if the player this debate stemmed from would cost what you suggested.

IMO Too one footed and too slow. You can't do anything about lack of pace, but the extreme inability to use his right foot could have been dealt with in his development. Being competent with his right foot would have made him a completely different player. Too late now, a potential talent wasted It...

Stan Tastic

Most of what the Everton fans were saying is true. He's not quick and so one-footed he's having to go backwards when pushed onto his right foot. A 23 years old PL footballer that can only use one foot is pathetic. How it's been allowed to happen when he's been coached from being a kid at United and ...

It's a good job VK doesn't share this complacent attitude.

Stan, you are absolutely right there is no logic to it, but for example why can we never beat Luton at home? Burnley haven't done it since 1995 in 7 attempts but Burnley have beaten them five times at their place in the same time period. Birmingham are similar, only two wins at home against them in...

Stan Tastic

You cannot estimate the strength of the opposition from their league position in this Division. Blues will be a very tough nut to crack tonight, Only Sheffield have conceded fewer goals away from home but in Scott Hogan they have a striker who can nick one. In recent years they have done OK at Turf...

Much of the current squad might look somewhat "lightweight" by Premiership standards but this is part of the intrigue of following a smaller club who find themselves 'punching above their weight '. Dyche relied on a quality goalkeeper and back four (cheaper than top class forward players) to keep a...

It's a shame Zaroury and Tella are unavailable, we could do with their pace up front.

Well we'd have been playing to his strengths for a start. And at a much lower level. In a winning team where the burden of creativity is shared around. Its just not comparable to last season. He'd still have the same problem of being ridiculously one-footed and defenders pushing him onto his right ...

Eight points clear of third and you've still managed to find a negative. Unbelievable.

QPR should've been down to 10 men in the second half so we didn't get all the decisions.

I thought ylthis was going to be a thread on that second half challenge on JBG.

He should've been sent off for that. A two-footed tackle with both feet off the ground hitting Gudmundsson's standing leg was a definite sending-off offence.

If I remember correctly the unsold tickets were the most expensive ones for seats in the stand. If memory serves we were allocated 20,000 and sold around 17,500. When Newcastle visited in the league later that season we had to endure chants of 'you couldn't sell your tickets'. The game itself might ...

At the time I was really annoyed with Frank Casper who declared himself fit when very few people thought he would be fit after suffering a bad knee injury. It might have been as recently as the previous game but I’m not sure about that. I wanted Ray Hankin to play as he had been playing well which ...

Without Casper who had been crippled by Hunter at Leeds it was always an uphill battle

Casper played the full game and but for a fantastic save by McFaul, would've scored.
