Tranmere away as it the nearest ground to my house!

I thought Coventry were ‘holding out for £15m’ for Hamer according to the reports when we supposedly bid.

There isn’t a single Premier League manager that currently wants Weghorst and he’s actually worked for three of them. I think that’s the judgement to look at and trust.

I presume you're going off goals scored, in which case statistically Ben Mee was a better striker in the EPL than Jay Rod and Foster over the last couple of seasons, so you've not really thought that one through. Foster has never kicked a ball in the Premier League and no one is suggesting that Jay...

Can't say I'm hugely disappointed, some fans have never forgiven him for being shouted at by Connor Roberts. The worrying thing is that we've lost our best centre forward and now find ourselves now weaker in this department than last season. Hopefully this will make room for another signing. Not su...

We can all breathe a sigh of relief now.

This line from the Telegraph article is going to disappoint those who were expecting the documentary to be a Mormon ‘sportswash’ exercise. ‘ “Mission to Burnley” is a nod to the fact that the owners, including Pace, are all members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints – more commonly k...

When we say the same about Hamer it Gyokeres that doesn’t seem to matter!

Because Coventry aren’t looking to get rid of them and more than one club have expressed an interest in buying.

Trigger warning - contains the ‘M’ word.

If you’re looking to offload a player then their value takes an immediate massive hit.

Gnonto would be signing of the summer but he would surely cost about £25m. Surely no chance whatsoever, surely!!?

McGrath knows his stuff but I just cannot see us having the cash.

I can’t see anywhere where McGrath has said anything about Gnonto to Burnley.

Showed great resilience there. Lucky with penalty shout against Bronze, but you need luck.

I think the officials would have struggled to justify a penalty after VAR overturned an England penalty for something that looked very similar.

I was actually quite excited by Daramy, but now that it looks unlikely he’s rubbish and I hate him.

File him under ‘clearly not good enough’ and ‘lucky escape’.

Was really looking forward to the documentary
Even more so now with the added bonus it hopefully stops some of the utter sh-ite posted on this thread.

Unless it’s replaced by said posters evangelising about the Mormon church.

Think Nigeria had shown through the 120 mins they couldn’t hit a barn door, 18 shots - 2 on target, so the shootout was no big surprise. Well done England!

martin_p

Penalties then.

Who is this negative commentator with Rachel Brown? There's nothing much happened but England are hanging on. England showing signs of fatigue but no obvious signs until halftime when tge cameras zoom in on Nigeria players getting massages. I really hope England win this just to ruin her day. You d...

England really need to get some fresh legs on.

martin_p

I only turned on as the England player was sent off and the BBC comms have said Nigeria have been all over England. Imagine my surprise when they put the stats up. England 3x more passes and 4 shots on target compared to Nigerias 1. What have Nigeria done so well? They’ve been fast and very strong ...

Comms saying Nigeria have had the better of the chances. Although they hit the bar twice, both Covered, Earps hasn’t had a serious save to make. Their keeper has made 3 vital saves.

Yep. Nigeria have had the better of the play but England have easily had the best chances.

Great save from the keeper to deny England.

I'm gonna pre-empt the use of the word 'waffle', which is basically the mark of anyone who has given up on trying to argue why I'm wrong. You’re wrong because there’s virtually no evidence that you’re right. I could argue the documentary is about that woman in the last teaser and her mission to ens...

I presume as soon as you foul a player outside the box then any further fouls inside the box are null and void.

She hasn’t given a foul outside the box otherwise we’d have a free kick outside the box.

martin_p

Another scandalous VAR decision.

Leeds in for Hamer.

You’d assume Coventry would be even less keen to sell to a Championship rival than they were us.

We should probably have a page worth of falling out now about how quiet it has to be before it’s deemed quiet if we’re going to remain on topic

I don’t agree.

Not sure this is all the link says “ Burnley are ready to pay over €20m for Feyenoord defender Quilindschy Hartman, who are eyeing him as a replacement for Ian Maatsen Feyenoord do not intend to let one of their key players go easily.

As it's supposed to be inspired by floodlights, maybe we'll wear it for night games?

Will the circles flash on and off just before kick off?

Not a fan to be honest, I prefer football shirts to look like football shirts and have some connection to the club beyond having the badge stuck on it. Sure it will be popular though. I wasn’t a fan of that black and pink roadmap away shirt they did last year but my son and wife both loved it.

martin_p

Poor decision that.

New player sat at small wooden table posing, pen hovering over contract, for a press photographer, VK and Pace stood behind the player smiling (perhaps one of them has his hand on the player’s shoulder). Maybe Pace says ‘Welcome to the club (insert new player’s first name here)’. Only needs last abo...

Charlie Taylor loves a tackle too and Maatsens Achillies was his defensive duties.If it's true and he reacted to some nonsense video so be it and he's staying as a bench warmer at Chelsea rather than returning to become part of another great season at the Turf

Course it’s not true!

As he was in the process of going to throw the ball in the air. Sadly, that dropped catch is yet another example of England making stupid mistakes/errors at critical points in the game and should be filed under ‘schoolboy’ error along with far too many errors this series. As a previous poster said,...

You consider Jack Walker dying was comparable to Heysel, Munich or the stabbing of 2 fans in Istanbul? Besides, if they can't police the drug-taking, standing, threatening behaviour, racist chants etc., what chance do they have for stopping several hundred, if not more, fans from revelling in the f...

He didn’t throw it away, his hand hit his thigh on the way down which dislodged the ball. Incredibly unlucky.

Unsettling another clubs players isn’t a joke is it really?

Imagine the meltdown on here if roles were reversed and it was Benson.

It’s hardly a secret that we want him is it? I’m not sure how a jokey song would further ‘unsettle’ him.

I think if you wanted to slag Pace off you'd point out how unbelievably crass it is to relate Nelson Mandela's jailing to Nathan Tella not signing for Burnley Now I’m a fully paid up sandal wearing Guardian reader, but you’d really have to be super sensitive to believe using that song was in any wa...

It’s just bizarre if the deal hasn’t been more or less done.

It’d **** off Southampton and possibly unnecessarily sour our relationship with them.

To be honest you’d hope they weren’t quite so super sensitive about something that is clearly a bit of fun.

Sorry if this has been mentioned but I’ve just been down to the club to buy a kids kit for my daughter. I noticed there was no socks with the kit and when I asked I was told it was an Umbro decision which is fine, but the kit STILL cost 55 quid which I think is out of order given there’s no socks t...

This match took place two months after the Man United women's team was formed and they weren't in the top tier so calling them an elite team in this context either suggests you don't know what you're on about or you're lying.

But to be honest, who cares anyway! Men don’t play women’s football.

But presumably these terraced houses have a front as well as a back? Very few people walk down that back street to get to Turf Moor.

So we really are fussing over half a second of video! The documentary is over three hours long, think I’ll avoid the thread about it when it’s on.

The Hearts kit is a 150th anniversary kit and they were asked to do a replica of their original kit, that’s why it’s so simple.
