I don't follow NFL, but even over here in England I knew Manning as a sportsman before I knew the actual rules of NFL. I think Brady eclipsed Manning in fame over the last decade where he just kept on winning and winning and winning as an old man, but I get the sense that a decade ago Manning was t...

JJ Watt was an incredible football player and will probably make the hall of fame (this is reserved for the upper echelon of players who dominated during the majority of their careers). I've watched the P for about 9 years, and I think maybe a better comparison might be Marcus Rashford???? Good play...

AshevilleNCClaret

McNally can't be that far behind, he's done very well at Coventry. We probably went into the loan deal with THB knowing either City were not going to let him go and/or we couldn't afford him, which is why we went after Al-Dakhil and Edkal. I don't think he is that far off from their squad. Ake/Lapo...

Benson fouled their knob head booked

You are gonna need to be more specific… which knobhead?

I could tell it was going to be long night when ref missed the foul 30 seconds in

VK is destined for bigger clubs, but I can't see the point of jumping ship to Tottenham now. More money, sure, but no job stability, and could easily see him gone mid-season next year. He then joins the carousel of retread coaches..... He's been fantastic for burnley but what is his ceiling here? Mi...

What is Goodman talking about??

cullen made a challenge and had some contact, but he literally took his left foot and hit it against the back of his right leg and fell over.

AshevilleNCClaret

he tripped on his own feet.

Give me strength

Muric's been fine. Boro's press has been tough and he's had to deal with the ball within the 6 yard box. He flapped at one cross but no harm came of it.

AshevilleNCClaret

Anyone with eyes on the game? How we looking? Good for our lead? Looking okay. We've given away the ball like 4 times from the back, but Boro couldn't do anything. VAR would have ruled Barnes's goal offside, but it would have given Brownhill a penalty. Tella probably should have scored a few minute...

AshevilleNCClaret

Decent half. Sunderland looking well organized and threatening. Playing out the back seems to be more risk than reward but we've created the far best chances. Think we wear them down in the second half and get a couple of goals.

AshevilleNCClaret

If people think this is fun (and I think it will be cool if JJ Watt is there tomorrow) that's their own business and I would hope they pay my opinion no mind. I just have the impression from following American sports that this kind of thing is generally pretty superficial and I still stand by my or...

AshevilleNCClaret

fk nowt but corner them.

AshevilleNCClaret

another free kick for them.

AshevilleNCClaret

phantom handball called against us... free kick the,m

AshevilleNCClaret

free kick us... semi-dangerous position... i think brownhill needs to come back to shoot it over the bar.

AshevilleNCClaret

Obafemi has been on the pitch 3 minutes... he should have scored by now at this rate.

AshevilleNCClaret

Any americans here able to watch it on ESPN plus? I try to load it and it says it hasn't started yet... and its been 12 minutes since the start time.

AshevilleNCClaret

Muric comes out an claims a cross !

AshevilleNCClaret

We are not sharp, but Luton's pressing is not giving us any time to control possession. We have gotten some pockets of space in their half but haven't been able to make the passes.

AshevilleNCClaret

Luton is looking incredibly sharp. lots of height and speed. their pressing has been impressive. not sure why zaroury did not start... we need his quality.

AshevilleNCClaret

There's still a third of the season left to play :) I think Jay Rod and Benson will be back soon, THB not sure, as I guess City would have some say in that Until they make the bench, it is hard to gauge, because even players who were out with injury seem to be slowly integrated back into the starti...

AshevilleNCClaret

I would be surprised if we see JRod, HWB, and Benson the rest of the season, or at least with only a handful of games left to play. I think Muric and Beyer are out a couple of games, so... BPF Roberts-Al Dakhil-Ekdal-Maatsen Cullen-Brownhill Zaroury-JBG-Tell Obafemi Barnes looked completely rattled ...

AshevilleNCClaret

Are one-off tickets usually easily available? I'm planning on a trip this fall, and I know that certain derby tickets would be impossible to come by (like Blackburn), but what about a normal game? I would get them ahead of time as much as possible.

VAR review on that last eagles catch

AshevilleNCClaret

I think of all of the time vegasclaret had 430am kickoff times and finally gets to watch the game at a normal time

AshevilleNCClaret

of the 3 newly promoted teams, fulham looks assured to stay up. NF had a big win today... bournemouth is in trouble.
that means 1 and possibly 2 "established" PL teams are going down. Southhampton look like toast, and I wouldn't mind wolves, leeds, or Everton to go down...

AshevilleNCClaret

The only cloud on the horizon is the inevitability that a Premier League team will come in for Kompany before the start of next season. I think VK stays at least another year.... my guess is that he might stay 3-4 years? Is he a top 6 manager? Possibly in a few years but not today. this is what, hi...

AshevilleNCClaret

Solid win. Our depth is incredible. I was worried about a replacement for hwb but edkal slots right in.

AshevilleNCClaret

Good half. Krul had a nice assist for our goal. Norwich a solid side. Edkal has been fantastic. Zaroury wasn’t getting the ball as much as he did in the beginning of the game.

AshevilleNCClaret

Its times like these where the depth of our bench has a chance to shine.
Is Cork out with injury/the yellow card suspension/sickness?

Just down the road from you Padihamers if he stays in the Holiday Inn

The holiday inn was one of the places I was looking into staying… looked pretty new and clean, got good reviews, had free breakfast. It doesn’t look too central to anything but I don’t mind the walking

AshevilleNCClaret

Thanks for the info. I’m still planning on a fall trip and have looked into things to do. I plan on taking the bus but looks like there are lots of places to walk to… I have to chuckle a bit because of you want to categorize Americans, it’s that we drive everywhere…half mile to the grocery store?

AshevilleNCClaret

Would it be daft to walk/hike from burnley up to barley and/or pendle hill? I'd have time on my side and I'm in good shape. Public transport was a bit wonky and honestly, I wouldn't mind walking rather than taking the bus. also...if anyone had any good walks starting in burnley, I'm up for suggestio...

AshevilleNCClaret

No, debate!

AshevilleNCClaret

At first I thought I squad was getting too big with all of these signings. I'm all for competition for spots, but you can only play 11 and no one wants to come on as a 85th minute sub. But, looking at the long term, it should pay off. We have 5 loanees (HWB, Maatsen, Beyer, Dervisoglu, Tella). all 5...

If “Bafana Foster” signs that’ll be our last two signings honed through the USA college system….. referring to a post I made a couple of weeks ago, we really should be tapping the system

Did he go to college in the us or did he just play here?

AshevilleNCClaret

From the television.. Muric 7 - did well with passing. Not to spark an argument but did come out and grab the ball/was fouled for their disallowed goal. Roberts 7 - solid Beyer 7 - solid Taylor 7- again, not to start an argument but was shoved for their 1st goal. Maatsen 8 - fantastic Cullen 8 - qui...

I couldn't watch it live... I was afraid Brownhill was going to take it, and he would have skied it all the way to the USA !

Def a foul on Muric. The slow motion camera actually picked up muric with 2 hands on the ball mid air and their player heads it out of his hand whilst clattering him

Muric did well to come out and had it in his hands when the guy headed it out of his hands.

AshevilleNCClaret

in our defense, Charlie Taylor got shoved in the back.....

Still like our chances today.... Bastien looking very good

AshevilleNCClaret

i think SD is going to be cautious for any opening, because he doesn't want to be seen as the next Sam Allardyce (brought in halfway through the season to keep teams up in the PL). His style of play at burnley seemed to be based on how to grind out points, and I think he wants to shed it. I think an...

I've seen Delap a few times on Sky and he's never done anything to justify his place in the Stoke side. He's played the equivalent of 15 full matches so he should have settled down by now. He's 19 years old so that's in his favour but he doesn't appear ready at this level yet. https://www.stokecity...

As much as I see this whole saga as a bit bizarre and I’m not fully clear what we gain from embroiling ourselves in the negotiations on Weghorst and Man U’s behalf, I do think some of the negativity towards him is wilfully ignoring understandable human ambition. He left us so he could take his chan...

AshevilleNCClaret

If that’s true, it’s bad business for us to agree to loans with no recall option, whilst loaning players who do. The ultimate parent club should always have final say on a players future in my opinion, albeit potentially restricted to certain scenarios and maybe “another loan” shouldn’t be one of t...

AshevilleNCClaret

Mcnally did ok for someone who hadn’t played. Curious if VK goes with experience (Taylor at lcb) or the future with McNally.

AshevilleNCClaret

Bournemouth REALLY sloppy but good to see us pounce on these errors. great pass from barnes for the goal.

Luke McNally looking well below par here.

i have to admit I'm scrutinizing his play ... its a tough ask to come in not having played all season.

Zaroury looking top notch.
