It’s the hope that kills you !

I’ll take a goal.

We’ve managed just one in our last 12 games against them!!

Get them Kompany digs in lads. Our rivals are winning. Perfect ammo.

agreenwood

For some I know having the opportunity to watch us pit our wits against the top players is what football is all about. Personally, the gulf in quality and resources makes games like tomorrow seem rather tired and pointless. I’ll be there mind. My daughter wanted to go. I’ll be holding the inevitable...

Just stop lads. You’re going around in circles.

Linked with Brian Gil of Spurs according to Turf Cast.

IF Benson and Zaroury do go next week it’ll be a shame. I loved watching them last season. That said, they’ve rarely been near the first team this year and, whilst we’re all free to speculate whether they are better options than those who have been in front of them, it’s not unusual for fringe playe...

It’ll never get to forced conscription.

I’m sure the “anti-woke” lot will sign up in their droves.

Last season's business was a huge success based on the outcome of the season and the fact we sold players for loads as well. This season's business has been a huge failure and we will need sales this summer. Yep and I suspect very few people will disagree. We can get into a debate about the extent ...

Its information they receive. So the sources will vary with each deal. Clubs sometimes make it official, often not. Over the years they have built up a reputation for being the closest to reality - in a business with little transparency of course. I've heard club officials challenge media reports o...

Where do Transfermarkt get their fee information from?

Wes Ham look like a side missing Alvarez, Pacqueta, Kudus and Antonio.

Add in Palace fans with their banner today.

At least Sunderland can point to having 40k fans through the door in the second tier.

Arsenal and Luton’s goals are different for me. White simply stands in front of the GK. It’s gamesmanship, but hard to penalise because he’s literally stood still. Adebayo looks at Trafford and makes a movement towards him to block him off. He turns his back as he steps backwards to maximise the blo...

Man City.

Of a fashion. There’s about half a dozen passes after the corner is taken.

That potentially might be what there classing it as. Without going back through each game I honestly couldn’t tell you, we have conceded that many this season they blur in.

Even then I don’t think it’s 6 in the league. Arsenal and Everton are the only two I can remember.

agreenwood

We haven’t conceded 6 goals from corners in the PL this season.

Unless we’re counting balls being cleared/recycled and it being crossed back in.

agreenwood

Fees should be published in my view, mainly because it’s usually an exercise in PR. The selling club leaks the absolute maximum value of the deal and include all the clauses (some of which might never be met) and the buying club play down what they’ve paid. I think Kompany has played down the side o...

agreenwood

Just please get Chris Boden educated on our transfer spend in the summer. For an experienced reporter it’s painful. Fees with future potential bonuses (most of our deals given their age) does NOT mean that money has been paid yet, or ever will be! If he mentions 130m again, when it’s actually way b...

agreenwood

The clear and obvious error thing is just a cop out. If they only adjudicated on clear and obvious errors they would never need to send the ref to the screen or watch repeated slow motion replays. And obviously Berge's handball wouldn't have been given if they were only looking for clear and obviou...

agreenwood

Watched it. My take from Webb is that the on field decision is probably wrong, but not wrong enough to overturn it.

Welcome to football in 2024.

agreenwood

Can’t allow myself to care really. The VAR decisions against us (by my count, at least impacting a minimum certain four additional points, but also possibly another four on top as a maybe) have utterly melted my belief in us staying up as it just feels we’re fighting against more than eleven player...

Imagine we somehow survive in the PL as a result of this farce - how many years 'ahead of schedule' will we be then?

Congrats on being the first to get in a dig at the club on a thread about the alleged wrongdoing of two other clubs.

Evidence that client journalism is alive and well in football.

Will we even know the extent of any points deduction for a month or two? Then the appeal supposedly not until May? Forget our interest in this. From a competition standpoint, it’s a mess. If clubs are who haven’t done anything wrong are going into late May/June nor knowing which division they are de...

agreenwood

Jesus lads. Dig away at the recruitment of the summer of 2023 by all means. It’s warranted. However, it’s a stretch and slightly disingenuous taking the **** about the summer 2022 recruitment, when the success rate considering the volume was pretty phenomenal. Twine and Churlinov were probably the t...

agreenwood

Just out of interest did the people who watched the interview and highlighted the “lazy” comment deliberately mean to imply that he was talking about his on the field character?

agreenwood

More VAR-led controversy in the Newcastle City game. That’s the second injury City have suffered in recent weeks due to this nonsensical directive to linesmen not to flag for offside.

agreenwood

I think he could come good yet, but like Benson he’s not a battler. He’s a player to play when you’re well on top or even chasing a game.

His was the only sub/tactical change I had an issue with last night.

agreenwood

I just think the operation of VAR has become so convoluted that it’s simply not fit for purpose.

agreenwood

Looks like we are likely to go down now, but this season will turn out more than valuable in terms of getting the experience in the bank and we will be back stronger than ever (if we do go down). They just need to ignore the nay sayers and hissy fitters, as difficult as that may be, as they will be...

agreenwood

I personally think the issues stems from the on field decision, I don’t think there’s enough there for VAR to intervene. With all due respect I have no idea what that means. What’s the definition of “enough” for the purpose of “clear and obvious”? Step back from the language of VAR and think about ...

agreenwood

Agree that we’re now extremely likely to go down. It’d be lovely to think we can turn into a bit of a berserker and wreck a few weekends for the other sides, whilst continuing to improve. Main thing for me is that we don’t start turning back into a soft touch having at least been more competitive in...

agreenwood

That’s the issue though, if the ref gave it on field (which he did) then what are VAR supposed to do? It’s not clear and obvious What’s the definition of clear and obvious? I think it’s a foul. You’ve said you think it’s a foul. Most on here think it’s a foul. Vincent Kompany thinks it’s a foul. Ri...

agreenwood

He’s skinny, but he’s tall. Don’t think he’s 6’6, but there was a photo of him lining up for the England U21s a while ago and he was the tallest player on it. He was taller than Harwood-Bellis who is about 6’2.

agreenwood

I think it probably should have been a foul. But at the same time I can see why he didn’t give it. The keeper went down so soft, a pope or a Heaton would have smashed through that lad and done anything to get near the ball. In real time it almost looked like a dive from Trafford the way he through ...

agreenwood

The thing that worries me about VAR is that you potentially now have referees reluctant to make difficult calls in the belief that VAR will re-ref the incident by way of some sort of safety net. However you’ve then also got VAR supposedly applying a “clear and obvious” criteria in an inconsistent ma...

I don’t think the word “Yank” is necessarily racist, but if people keep citing nationality in commentary on actions, then there’s clearly some stereotyping going on. In the same way there’s an element of stereotyping when ALK’s religion is frequently brought into conversations about their running of...

agreenwood

He was better when we had no money.

The season he left we’d put together a decent squad, but he couldn’t get a tune out of them. The quality of the squad was evidenced with what came next.

agreenwood

Lovely dink for the Amdouni chance, but otherwise looked rusty and offered very little out of possession.

Thought there was a world of difference between the defensive shift Odobert and he put in. It may have been tactical I suppose, but if not he’s probably not done himself any favours.

agreenwood

He’s added to his repertoire this morning. Now mocking Union Berlin with some weird WW2 GIF.

agreenwood

Odd game.

I’m sat here thinking we defended well, but were pretty toothless going forward. I’m also thinking that in the Amdouni first half chance and the two we missed at the death, we arguably created the best three chances of the game.

agreenwood

Can’t quite work out what he’s doing. He appears to be trying to tweet his way into a new career as some sort of cultural commentator, but then that would be at odds with his notion that you should only be able to commentate on something when you’re recognised as an elite within the field. Whether y...

agreenwood

Not sure if he’s had injury issues, but has only featured in about half of their league games.

agreenwood

Ok that’s fine use him as an impact sub, I can’t literally think of anyone else in our squad that would impact a game of the bench. I literally can’t believe so many Burnley fans are happy with this. We are one of the worst sides in prem history and one of our best players in last years side is lea...

agreenwood

That’s fine though, just use him as an impact sub then? We are regularly chasing games to either draw a game or to find a winner. There are only three players in our squad that scored more than ten goals last season and we are letting one of them go. I just can’t get over the fact we are persisting...

agreenwood

Not overlooked it. They came after your first post, in which you've made some good points. It's a shame you can't post like that to begin with as it would improve the tone of the discussion. What can I say? You don’t like it when I take the **** and I don’t like it when people overreact (in my opin...

Our wingers have contributed to a grand total 8 goal contributions across 68 appearances. Our wingers have off course also been an issue, they get to the final third and make the wrong decision or don’t have the quality to make it work. It’s why our set up isn’t as effective as it was last season. ...

agreenwood

Stranger for me is that it’s Benson’s side of the pitch where we have struggled to find an effective option. JBL very hot and cold (mostly cold), JBG a solid option but not much of an attacking threat. All the others are better on the opposite flank. Benson’s downfall though appears to be his susce...
