The wage bill explains a huge part of that for us - add in amortisation and lack of significant profit from player sales in the past 4 years and no significant revenue growth from other channels and we arrived in the situation we have seen played out. Our wage bill according to this article https:/...

Is that not the definition of hoofball, launching it or chipping it aimlessly into ‘areas’? For what it’s worth, I also think we play hoofball. My main gripe is the reluctance to not play out from the back, we were left with Pope just pumping it forward with the best possession team in the league w...

I would like to believe that it is the start of the season with a decent performance this Saturday to gee us up for the Everton match but I fear the opposite, City need to improve the goal difference and I can see a thumping with the confidence of the players drained for the Everton match which this...

As people keep saying be careful what you wish for. With a different manager we could have won 1 or 2 in 27 instead of the 3 in 27 that Dyche has achieved this season.

How we finish the season off will be a factor on whether he should go or stay. If we go down “fighting” and push it to the last 1 or 2 matches I would keep him and reassess next season. The danger is if we fail to pick up a win and if that happens the atmosphere will get toxic and he may not survive...

At least eight captured or destroyed Russian T-72 tanks https://twitter.com/RALee85/status/1502309451759501313 On Twitter it shows a video of Russians with captured Javelin anti tank weapons with instructions so we will have the Ukrainians in Russian tanks being shot at by the Russians by British m...

Excellent piece by the brilliant Ros Hawkins on the BBC about rising food prices.

Russia banning exports of key ingredients for fertiliser on top of the cost of gas needed to produce it will hit food yields and costs of food will rocket.

The ending of foreign ownership of Football clubs should be an aim.

There will be fans of Man City and Newcastle (effectively state sponsored) who will be revelling in Chelsea’s woes turning “blind eyes” at human rights abuses in those countries.

Everton next ?

No issue with OP team apart from McNeil in the starting lineup. I would drop him and keep Lennon in.

Dy1geo

To me i would tell McNeil to stay as close to the line as possible and his job would be to send in crosses and track back and support Taylor. His lack of right foot is something teams have realised and that can be compared last night to Harvey Barnes who is comfortable with either foot where Roberts...

Sept 2020 I had gone to pharmacist to book a flu vaccination. They were still waiting for annual flu vaccine to be delivered. Pharmacist then told me a pneumonia vaccination was available to all over 65 year olds. I got mine immediately. One dose protects for ever. I recommend anyone who is eligibl...

Just read that BP that makes up around a 5% weight in the FTSE 100 and will be in many pension schemes especially passively run ones has a large stake in Rosneft and will be affected in Russia retaliates back with sanctions.

Start disrupting the cosey oligarch culture in London for a start, cancel all 2300 Child student visa's who are in private schools, or at least stop accepting any new ones. Sanctions shouldn't just be financial, but also cultural / social. Many wealthy Russians are cosey with Putin and taking advan...

There doesn't need to be an increase in fuel cost. We could renationalise it. Then we get to decide for ourselves what the cost to the consumer is rather than greedy corporations. Unless you are Energy self sufficient which we are not through various Governments incompetence, the U.K. Govt would st...

There needs to be strong sanctions against Russia but the U.K. public needs to be told that this won’t be painless to them. There will be an increase in price in Gas, Fuel and basic foodstuffs. Going forward Western Europe has to lower our dependency on Russian gas. There has to be a debate over whe...

Pleased for him that he has reached that milestone and has been very loyal, but he will have been handsomely rewarded during that period. He reminds me of an longstanding actor in a “Soap” happy to pick up a wage but has been “scared” to test his talents elsewhere in case he fails.

Just caught this thread and all I can say looking at the head if a vegetarian diet leads you to putting on that much weight, I will stick to meat in mine.

Doesn’t bother me having away supporters around me where I sit in the Bob Lord but today unlike for Man Utd there seemed to be a lot of younger Liverpool fans being a bit more vocal.

A song for Wout from my Son, copying UTD’s “rhythm is a dancer tune”

Rhythm is a dancer,
Wout is the answer,
Scoring goals everywhere,
Couldv’e stayed in Germany,
But he came to Burnley
Now he is our player

Think it’s pretty good last line could be worked on

Dyche has been good for us and I would have no issue him staying on if we had a team rebuild. The fact is the team has become stale when we played West Ham after the Everton debacle in 2018 our midfield was JBG, Cork, Westwood and McNeill and it was the same when we played them in our 0-0 almost 3 y...

Just looked back on the table from season 18/19 when after 19 games we only had 12 points. Walking out after the 5-1 drubbing by Everton I genuinely thought that we were doomed. The table at time, where most teams had played an even amount of games had the bottom team Huddersfield on 10 points whils...

Not in the Dyche out camp, but if we go down, when it comes to contract renewals and future transfers in it has to be Pace’s decision not Dyche’s and if he doesn’t like it he can resign.

I think it's perfectly OK to think someone is a rapist based on evidence even if that evidence isn't enough to send them to prison. Totally agree, David Goodwillie whose signing for Raith has caused Val Macdermid to withdraw her sponsorship and rip up her season ticket was ruled to be a rapist in a...

I would be loathe to giving contract extensions to Jay and Barnes as if we did get up we would be in the position where in season 23/24 we would have to replace them. It would be down to Dyche to pull a rabbit out of the gate like he did with Andre Gray who would score the goals and hopefully get a ...

Perhaps we just have to accept that players don’t want to come to Burnley. They don’t like the clubs image, they don’t like the clubs unwitting association with Right Wing anti Brexit politics, they can get as good a wage elsewhere. What makes Burnley an attractive proposition- Ramsey would rather ...

I have never got involved in crypto but have had an open mind. To me crypto has to have a value in its own and not be constantly linked to the cash equivalent.

The study didn't find that a dislike of women's football was misogynistic. It found that footy messageboards can be sexist as fk. Nobody needs to defend themslelves by saying 'disliking women's football isn't misogynistic,' because nobody is making that accusation. The line I got out of it was “The...

Just because I don’t watch women’s football outside of the international tournaments doesn’t make me misogynistic, I don’t watch it because it’s generally poor to watch.

During the season we got into Europe we played some great stuff. If you don't think finishing 7th is a fantastic achievement then fair enough.

You can get 40/1 at Skybet on this being the case which equates to a 2.5% chance. He has been a fantastic manager for us and a perfect fit but I fear his chance of a move to a “bigger club” gone. A few years ago I made the point that if he moved to that type of club he would be dealing with more pla...

At a time when you want community cohesion. Rather than condemn the actions of the individual, a group on Facebook have said the highest level in paradise should be reserved for him.

He certainly divided opinion and to me whilst he was scoring you tolerated his shortcomings in other areas but this year his lack of goals has had me starting to question his starting place. Considering that there are only a handful of players that improve upon leaving us and I don’t think Wood will...

A player of his age in the worse form since he arrived and we have got £20mil for him. We have finally learned to maximise value on players rather than let them run contracts down and go for free and some are saying it’s bad news.

It would help if there was a larger range of songs for the fans in the CFS to sing. In our 4th division days from my time on the long side Selwyn and his mates sang a wider range.

I would like to see in the next few years a few players coming up from our youth system and if we are in the Championship they may get the chance. To have only McNeill come through during our time in the Prem is not good enough. We have forked out on Hendrick, Brady and Rodriguez all cost over £10 m...

Given the age of Chris Wood and the remaining length of his contract I would sell him like we should have done with Tarks, letting him run his contract down an potentially leave for nothing should not be allowed to happen. We have to shift our emphasis to younger players with sell on rather than pla...

The issue with that type of thinking has to surely be "what's the pont". As in, the good times yield going into the Premier League. With success comes promotion, that's what makes things fun and exciting. The difference to me between us now in the Prem and if we are in the Championship is what we h...

I am in the middle, he shouldn’t go now but if we go down I would have a change with a manager who plays with a more expansive style and if that means a few years in the championship so be it

Definitely not Michael Essien

Essien stated in an interview with Match of The Day magazine a good few years ago that he had, had a trial here.

It’s what constitutes a trial that is at question.

If the old adage you can “spot talent in 5 minutes” we still opted against signing him.

And Michael Essien too.

It’s funny how you change as you get older, I was about 19 and we had just played and we went into the old Corals at side of the ground and I can remember a guy say “ffing scousers at it again we’ll never get in Europe” and all I thought of was English clubs not playing in Europe not for the people ...

What we are seeing with Tarks is the reality of modern day football, at one stage they are of value then suddenly they are gone for nothing. In my opinion whilst being a good defender he is not Van Dijk and there are players out there to replace him, but we have hung on instead of cashing in and alo...

It’s sad that for someone that queued round the block for a Blackpool away ticket all them years ago, I have no interest in Saturday’s match.
