I wasn't sure when he was made captain, not his ability, I just thought the extra responsibility could impact his game. If anything he's improved even more, and as a figure head and spokesman for the team, he just makes you feel proud that he's one of ours. I can easily see Ben seeing his career out...

Happy to oblige Colburn.lol

You do realise that you have to win it now, so I can say I was beaten by the champion.
No pressure

Colburn_Claret

I don't think its because of Vyds or Barnes, although Vydra compliments him a lot more.
Wood has just improved his own game leaps and bounds this season. Brilliant to see, but it will be difficult to hang on to him if continues that track.

You could put 5 across the middle and concede to a fluke of a deflection, as we did at home, or a crap VAR decision. What do we do then with 5 across midfield. Fulham are very average, out of sorts, and some people think we should hand them the initiative. Same team, and stuff em is my idea. They'll...

Colburn_Claret

Nobody dominates 90mins, certainly not Burnley. The easiest time to concede is right after you've scored and against Southampton and West Ham, we should have just killed the game for 10 minutes. It's a learning curve, as is somebody dropping back to cover a fb if he's pushed on. Personally I like to...

They were right to protest, just wrong in letting it get out of hand. I can understand the passions running high, but there is never any excuse for the aggression and violence. Someone said on the radio the other day that the Glazers have made £1 billion from Utd since buying the club on the cheap. ...

I think once the dust has settled on recriminations of the ESL.
The Premier League, FA and UEFA have to seriously look at agents.
Along with many people, I believe the agent works for the player, and as such should be paid for only by the player. If said player wants to chuck his money away, let him.

It takes a lot more than skill to become a legend, but Duff is certainly a Claret legend, and a Cheltenham one too. It would be good to see him and Elliott back one day. He has a big future ahead, but a hard one next season. I think I read Cheltenham had the 17th smallest budget in league 2. League ...

Without watching it I’d guess

Trippier. Duff. Mcgreal Ward.

Elliott. Grezza. Barton. Airfield.

Ings. Austin.

4/11

Surprising isn’t it

A new video on Clarets Player.
Really good watch, I won't spoil it by telling his choice, but just a good reminder of what great players we've been blessed with over the last 12 years. You could probably fill the bench with another 2 teams of players who could have joined it.

Colburn_Claret

Very simply; do you think he might move on this summer? For what it's worth, I think he has been harshly criticised by some fans and is a much more competent footballer than he gets credit for. Also, if played in his correct position, which is a sitter in a central midfield three, I think we would ...

Obviously still waiting for confirmation of how many fans will be able to attend and the process for allocating tickets. But the most logical, safest and fairest way must be to allocate tickets to those fans who kept their season ticket money on account and have been vaccinated. That number may eve...

It's amazing how many managers that do fit their profile, have failed. Maybe they need to reflect on the fact that a foreign name, and no amount of hype, guarantees nothing. Personally I'd be delighted if they continue to make the same mistakes, over and over again. I should imagine that it must be ...

The best season, and best football from any Burnley team I've ever seen. I feel sorry for any young Clarets who failed to witness it. They probably think we exaggerate it, but no one there can deny we were awesome. We were at the back of the stand which was made up of wood with cracks between the st...

Colburn_Claret

Delighted for Duff, well deserved.
I should think he's got his hands full next season in league 1, not sure what the finances at Cheltenham are like, but what an opportunity.
Quite a few links with Cotterill and Mark Yayes both past managers

Colburn_Claret

From what I can see there has been no suggestion of us being fined, although I'm not saying we won't, it's just something that's come from Keith Hackett the former referee in an article that suggests Podence went down initially after coming together with Tarkowski (it was Brownhill) and that temper...

Boro a very poorly run club these past few years, if you want a yardstick to judge Burnley success, look at Boro and Sunderland. They would give their right arms for Sean Dyche. Gibson seems to have spells of spending lots of money, followed by a tightening of the belt, then another cash splurge. I...

Apologies Bobinho, I missed the quotation marks when I replied. I though it was your opinion, not others you were complaining about.
I agree whole heartedly.

He’s a good player, great even when in our set up and we play to his strengths, and I’m a fan I really am. But for those of you saying “can’t believe the grief he was getting early in the season” you need to wake up. He was getting that grief because he wasn’t just not scoring, he was looking labou...

Colburn_Claret

I think he wasn't fully fit, but our style of play, pre Villa at home, didn't give him a lot to work on. Since that Villa game, some of our football has been the best for years, not always getting the results we deserved. We've also got men forward, mostly due to Vyds, and put the ball in early, whi...

I thought he was nearing the end when we bought Brownhill, who I think has been an excellent buy, but he has come back from his last injury in outstanding form. Looks like a new man. So pleased for him, and us.

Good to see Vydra back in the starting XI, and Pope in goal should make us more solid at the back, Barnes is a useful option from the bench if needed, as is Jay Rod, but hopefully that won't be the case, I don't understand all the criticism of Brownhill on here he's been one of our better players i...

Colburn_Claret

I hope its 433, I can't see the point of playing Brownhill wide. It doesn't suit him, it's been tried and failed before.
I understand its hard to accommodate Jack and Brownhill in the same team, but playing him there, with JBG on the bench is just plain stupid.

Colburn_Claret

Man City are just as bad when it comes to spending on players and disregarding FFP. While I don't think Citeh are exempt from criticism, I don't think its right to stop an owner from spending on his club. The difference being, anything above and beyond the clubs means has to be a gift. No loans, or...

The thing these owners don't understand is the excitement football offers to the fans, and the viewing public. It is solely a cash cow to them.

Good news if Chelsea pull out, it opens the door for Citeh, who don't need the money or the ESL, to follow. If the big 12 become the little 10 it will die a death on its own.

This from Alan Pace today. While we too at Burnley have ambitious plans to grow the club’s revenues, those plans have always been on the back of performance, both on and off the pitch, and not artificial protectionism. Too bloody true. I'm glad we've had a response from the board, it doesn't make i...

No, not yet.

I might come to in time, but for now they have to be given a chance. I was never in favour of the sale in the first place, but it's a reality, and the new board need our support, just as the club needs theirs. Let's see where it leads before we make judgement.

It most certainly wouldn't be far more interest. We'll be back to 80s levels of entertainment, which was mostly dire and the stats show that fans voted with their feet, and don't forget, even in real terms, live football was inexpensive to watch at the time. In any case, the EPL isn't going to kick...
