There's a collision course with ten hag up ahead where they want to sign Muller or Messi or lewandowski etc and pay them more than those that are actually contributing to their getting points. Agree with the general point, but Messi would still be incredible in the PL, and better than 75% of the Ut...

Spiral

Strongly disagree on this, there's a higher upper end but also a much lower bottom end as we've been seeing. Dyche for years was about as consistent as you could get, a team built on not losing and trying to win on tight margins by maximising the analytical, tactical and physical side to get a lot ...

Oh crumbs.

Yeh, I know mate, I saw the pass, point is I don't see how it inflates his prestige by that much, because speaking more generally he's been fairly terrible this season.

Spiral

Bloke making fun of transgender identification tacitly supporting other bloke who insists his thread is not politically flavoured.

(Insert joke about assuming genders)

Spiral

I dunno, I think we see ten of those balls a game and within ten seconds forget every single one of them that is defended well enough, or where the runner makes a mess of it. Selection bias. It's obviously a very tidy assist, but I don't particularly think it inflates his prestige in the way some wo...

Don't draw attention to your puns by using inverted commas.

Spiral

He's okay. I'm not having that his pass for Laarsen's goal was some exquisite work of beauty though. It was a long ball down the channel and Laarsen did his man for pace. No complaints because a goal's a goal, but still. Good player to have on the books, but I really want Ekdal back in the team.

Methinks Spiral has been at the 'snow' again. Snow would make a person more aggressive; this is a more acid than snow (but I'm not on that, either). Your $hit pun wouldn't work if you were going for accuracy though. And you shouldn't have put inverted commas around snow. Everyone can see your meani...

Oh spiral you small minded fellow. Did it not cross your mind that I really like snowflakes and dislike incorrect snowflakes? Granted, the double - meaning makes it a better thread title but is it beyond your imagination that somebody actually likes maths, symmetry, natural beauty and making snowfl...

Only a really really boring person would notice It's not about the snowflake stickers in the window or whatever the f.uck, it's about a Steve Coogan character starting a thread where there's a word in the title which is used by overly-political people in a kind of incendiary way, but this character...

Felt like the players set out to put right the last 10 mins of West Ham. Rubbish opponent, 10 men (even though we were 2-0 up when McBurnie was sent off), we finished ahead of SheffU last season blah blah blah, but when all is said and done 5-0 is impressive under any set of circumstances, and if th...

Spiral

If you aren't giddy after winning 5-0 then stop watching football coz it isn't for you. Top half finish back on the menu boys!!!

Spiral

I just want to see some pride and at the minute it is embarrassing. Going down as the worst team in PL history would be absolutely abysmal Is "pride" in this case not just a synonym for wins? I want wins too, I just think that there's a design in place that we'd be insane to rip up by sacking the m...

*rally in the second half of the season

Whether you're relegated on goal difference or relegated with 4pts, you're still relegated. What if you cobble together some old, technically limited journeymen and get relegated on goal difference playing terror football. What if you go down with 4pts with a young flair team but game by game you're...

Spiral

I fully agree with you there 😂 I just want to know how many points/ point range those that are happy with the project think would be an acceptable season to build on. That’s all There was a thread on here a few weeks ago ridiculing the idea of a project, and the word is worthy of ridicule I feel, b...

Spiral

I gave a "fk sake" mutter and didn't stick around to clap the players off because I was frustrated, but about five minutes after the game I was thinking that's the best performance of the season, and I'm a bit more hopeful than I was a few weeks ago because there's glimmers of something, our good sp...

*And Austin, Ings, Trippier and Mee were also Howe signings, it must be reminded.

Spiral

Proper nonsense this spiral - I can’t even be arsed to properly retort either. Think McNeil played over 130 games for us from age 19-23 or so? He’s about to turn Branthwaite into another star CB, at a young age. Cornet had fitness issues meaning he didn’t play every game but he got 9 goals out of h...

Spiral

I think this sales pitch VK has hooked Pace with buying players cheap and selling high after they have excelled under his coaching techniques is starting to crumble and I think we are going to lose heavily on a lot of players /. Hope I’m wrong and we can turn it round From practically day one the i...

Passing sideways and backwards is the best football you’ve ever seen, ok then. Over hyped nonsense more like , mainly the part of sky for constantly going on about how good it was, purists weren’t fooled though. If sideways passing is all you see then fair enough. We're just watching football diffe...

Aye that’s all Dyche did bring journeymen in. Zzzzz Not like he turned multiple players into full England internationals and developed and sold players for profit. Just journeymen. Never been done before at Burnley this new buy young player novel idea. No disrespect to Dyche because he'll always be...

Michael Carrick-I feel he will get snapped up soon by a bigger club than Boro

Vinny's won one game from thirteen this season and his win % record at Burnley is still about the same a Carrick at Boro.

It wouldn't matter who we got unless they were strong enough to change the ways, the owners want to do things. They have gone too extreme in football terms to try to make a lot of money, quickly. What does going "too extreme in football terms" mean? Making too many changes in too short a time is a ...

I swear to god some people are still living in 2011 or something.

The problem with earnestly engaging with the question even as a hypothetical is that there's a corner of your brain that attempts to justify your decision by accepting that sacking Kompany makes sense, that the manager situation is a problem in need of a solution, and not the completely stupid decis...

Rubbish.

I mean there's an element of truth to it. It's not necessarily a bad thing. (I do disagree with the "nothing more than that" part, mind).

Spiral

We don’t know for sure but it’s reasonable to assume it’d be an expensive exercise paying him off & also bringing somebody else in. Just because it'd be expensive doesn't mean it's the reason he's still with us. I don't know if you've noticed but our owners are quite willing to gamble with the club...

Spiral

Sacking him after we lose to SheffU will be a bigger blunder with more costly long-term term consequences than the hypothetical loss to SheffU itself, which is recoverable, and might be of limited consequences if results go our way next weekend.

Spiral

Sorry, I mean to say "I don't think it's wishful thinking..." just to clear up any confusion

Spiral

Must admit, as impressive as VK came across in Mission to Burnley, it was quite frightening how much the board of directors appeared to be hanging on his every word about the business side of things. Could well be that he was hired precisely because his overarching views on how a football club shou...

Spiral

Don't overcomplicate it. We have really young players, we're giving them a baptism of fire, no stabilisers, no hand-holding, just let them play, fk up, get better, play again, fk up again, play again... There comes a point where they work out how to win. I think we're a completely w@nk football team...

Spiral

That's young teams for you. We're w@nk, but in a weird way I'm kind of pleased we've 100% committed to something and that we're taking the rough with the smooth. Frustrating and interesting/curious all at once.

Stop drinking beer during the game. You'll get a clearer view on the situation.

I like the sentiment and everything but patient is the man who can watch Burnley sober

We're a prestige version of Dario Grady-era Crewe. Forget immediate results, see how far a young team can go type of thing. Sacking Vinny right now is an abandoned of that, then we become any other shite PL team, except we're miles from safety, and we have loads of debt anyway so what's the differen...

I wonder if any other sports have been played at the Turf ?

Cotts tried something different from football for a bit.

it is cold and everyone is wearing gloves so you cannot hear happy people clapping because of their gloves so there is one solution and one solution only we need leicester clappers im a genius why has no one thought of this before if everyone had happy clappers everyone would be happy

Spiral

OUR SCANDIES ARE MINT IS WHAT I'M SAYING.

JBG - dependable, never disappoints
Berge - pure class
Ekdal - get him in the team
JBL - ludicrously and criminally underused

Viking FC would be five points clear by now had injuries and weird team selection not occured.

Spiral

I'll not hear a bad word spoken about JBG, sir. Aside from the odd sloppy touch, he's reliable as hell for what he does, and it must be noted our collapse coincided with his substitution.

Spiral

He's out best box to box midfielder, and he's also our best defensive midfielder, and because defensive midfield is an area we struggle with, it makes sense to stick him next to Browhill and not play him as an attacking midfielder where we already have about fifteen options anyway.

Rubbish there’s a reason Sheff Utd didn’t fight to keep him.

Never seen such a big lad as soft and scared to tackle.

What does he offer ?? Nothing is the answer

Our best player today, and in a game where we played well, against a proper PL midfield. He's really good mate.

Good footballer.

By me. I literally forgot we had him before opening this thread. I thought it was about the Welsh Ramsay.
