I was talking to Junior Bent in the pub in Preston last night he’s a coach for the Knobbers. Says he gets more recognition from Burnley then he ever does for Brissle Odd that , he was only on loan for a month or two and never really did much, wasn't a great team to play in at the time. Remember him...

It interesting reading Chester Perry's thread on the magic money tree and following the price of football on Twitter who lectures in football finance at Liverpool University. There are a few posters who would appear to know the ins and out of financial accounting too. On the other hand there are tho...

Sean Dyche, not a difficult one at all for a 46 year old. Under Mullen we had a fantastic season but it was a bit of a struggle after that.

Once delayed for 18 hours with easy jet. Fair play to them they gave us the necessary paperwork to complete and from memory we got €400 euros each. Won't be happening in future if brexit ever takes place, will get €0.

If we do stop up this season and thats a big if at the moment then games away at the likes of man city next season will see fewer people going as the novelty wears off and expect another hammering - its like watching a city training game from attack to our defense Look at it from a City's fans pers...

Really? How many of the nine games would you say have been easy? The only easy game I can remember recently in the PL was Sunderland at home, there are no easy games in the PL. Outside the top 6 all the clubs are scrapping to get to 36 points getting them by hook or by crook and can beat each other...

NL Claret

Whilst it was a poor performance the reality is that Vokes wouldn't even get in Citys 3rd team. Playing him upfront on his own (which he doesn't seem to like) suggests that we went there with little attacking intent. Half time they probably thought great only 1-0 down. Very disappointing approach. ...

The sentimental distress of Heaton not been in the team continues for some. Bless.

NL Claret

He’s what you want from your full backs. Good defensively and knowledgeable about his positioning. Good at winding up tarts like Sane Some might say that's very similar to Bardsley approach yet he's disliked on here. A yellow card waiting to happen, so is Lowton but he doesn't get the pelters that ...

Going to be a difficult season as we've over achieved in the last two. The bell ends on this message board will make it worse. This time last year we lost 4-0 to city, it was an absolute mismatch last season yet less groaning than today. The gulf between the top 6 and the rest gets bigger and bigger...

Just waiting for the 'City were there for the taking' 'Dyche has burned out' to tick off the list.

Ditched sky about 6 years ago and have never looked back. Did go down the cancellation route a few years previous and they gave us a better deal for 6 months, can't remember what it was. The last time I called to cancel the lad made it difficult and I think had to put it in writing, which I did. Bin...

Listen bud we could argue semantics all day but it doesn't get us anywhere does it.

The answer of no was mainly to your 2nd question. P...

Seen on Twitter he could be in for a hero's welcome at City tomorrow. Bumped into a city fan mate a few weeks back and instantly asked about Hart. Held in high esteem by their fans. Strange how some burnley fans / posters dislike him as he didn't come for a cross and because he his keeping Heaton ou...

NL Claret

So have his performances this season so far matched up to last season? You didn't answer. And I said temporarily because people do lose interest in all sorts of things then regain it so hopefully it would only be temporary. Nothing is permanent in this life. I also said 'others' as well but you pic...

Embarrassing by batsmen of that level. Used to see similar running between the wickets in 2nd team in local cricket.

NL Claret

Loved seeing Litle's goal v Bristol Rovers on Twitter t'other day, for my generation it's a tough selection between Blake, Little and Eyres as the most exciting.

Interesting to see Adrian Heath mentioned, he was on a different wavelength to the players we had at the time.

NL Claret

Not bothering but if I was going for a pre match beer I'd either walk up from Victoria / Shude Hill to the Marble Arch on Rochdale Road then taxi to the ground (less than 2 miles) or go to the City Arms and Knott bar and get on the tram at Deansgate to the Etihad. It's a desert around the ground.

NL Claret

So you think he's played as well this season so far as he did last season? Is that what you're saying? I didn't say he'd become a bad player I said he had lost interest, albeit temporarilly, and I couldn't really blame him after being 'dropped' for the Euros. So he's only lost interest temporarily ...

I know however if you were believe some of dross which infects this message boards then his non participation in Europe is why he isn't playing well or apparently isn't interested.

Has he forgiven Dyche for getting us knocked out of Europe / him not playing in Europe?

So you didn't see the other games before Huddersfield then? Tarks is a great player and tough as they come but he HASN'T been up to his usual standard this season. Here's hoping that his Huddersfield performance (and it was good to be fair) means he is back to his best. You said he has lost interes...

NL Claret

Tarks has lost interest? Wow! He single handedly kept the defence going against Huddersfield, getting in blocks etc. He was carrying an injury too. 2nd half he could have put his hand up and said take me off. He didn't, kept going to the death. Another statement that just goes to show the level rubb...

Sounds great at Stanley, where so I sign up? But I'm still going to whinge and whine on UTC at every opportunity.

NL Claret

The football on offer and Dyche's management style have numbed the place down. The only atmosphere seen so far this season have been in the Europa league where he did his best to get us knocked out. The atmosphere at TM hasn't been great since it went all seater however a UTC poster can blame Dyche...

Just noticed on Twitter "the cricket field end" trying to do something about the atmosphere at the Turf.

A drum?

The last thing we need IMO.

2010 in Cavtat, Croatia I was booking a boat trip to Dubrovnik and the young lad clocked we were English and asked who was my team. I said you won't have heard of them, it's Burnley , however he did as we'd just had a season in the PL and had watched some games on TV.

Some fans have struggled more than Heaton adapt to him been number 2. Pre-conceived opinions of Joe Hart and sentiment for Heaton.

Hart top!! the bloke who sits a couple of rows behind me could do with knowing this.

He's one of them who had already made his mind up when we signed him. Abuses him non stop, effin horrible Hart when Mee made a mistake. Hart pushed one round the post, effin horrible Hart.

Start a thread " cheap digs at the board " rather than using one about a player that we almost once signed and due to circumstances beyond our control we didn't and now he plays for Liverpool.

And once again, I never said he’d have chosen to join us, merely that I believe we were trying to sign him nonetheless. Don’t see what the point of commenting on transfer talk is if you’re not interested in rumours mind :lol: I don't see the point in having cheap digs at the board without having an...

I quite clearly stressed that there was zero guarantee of us signing him had we agreed a fee. Learn to read. Regarding your question, because there were further reports of us attempting to agree a fee, from sources such as Nixon (who like it or not, is reliable). Plus Boden put his usual “wide of t...

January 2017 was unfortunate but I would like to know what happened early in summer. I’m aware Liverpool eventually signed him but there was plenty of news about us still trying.

Only managed to read 5 posts. I'm not sure what clubs outside the top 6 are expecting tbh.

Last season West Brom who have always had good away support brought about a thousand to the Turf for their first away game of the season.

The diehard West Brom fans who go home and away are enjoying this season far more than seasons they finished mid table under Pulis.
