And no chance of picking a fee up for either, especially not on the wages they will both be getting. No one on their right mind would take either at anywhere near their current salaries. They will both leave for nowt at the end of their current contracts. Cork could probably still do a decent job f...

But also very lucky that we had so many out of contract players on big wages in a sense. That's what can catch clubs out No guarantee, but our top earners now are probably Jay and Jack Cork, both in the final year of contract. If its deemed necessary we can cut our cloth again this summer. Not wish...

I don’t know about that one but I really hope someone from the club is keeping an eye on him when he officiates us next. Be that on the field or in VAR . It’s becoming very coincidental that he is making these game changing mistakes against us mainly. Maybe it just shows sheer incompetence and noth...

He ballsed up the Liverpool goal up by incorrect protocol, saying check complete when it was onside. He ballsed up that forest non handball denying us 2 points He ballsed up sending off our player yesterday denying us a possible win. Sent off the manager too denying us his presence on the touch lin...

But only if we stop up. If we go down alongside them their side is simply far too good for the Championship. They will have got relegated purely because of the points deduction and it just means there is only one automatic promotion place available. They'd struggle to keep any sort of side together...

Give them a £1 Billion each and they'd still make a loss. On a similar vane I've considered many times. Give every team in the Prem 1 billion pounds. a) Every player who cost 50 mill las=t year is suddenly worth 200 mill. You don't get better players, just more expensive of the same. b) Players who...

"England gives the penalty, which is wrong and then gives a yellow card which is also wrong"

As I called it exactly at halftime on the match thread, and to think some people contort to try to see things differently

ALC has to be fishing

Colburn_Claret

Or....hear me out here..... Don't put your hand on the shoulder of an attacker in the penalty box when you've just been booked for it 20 mins previously. Assignon had no need to add a smoking gun when there wasn't a bullet being fired. His cards were marked though from no adapting his defending aft...

Colburn_Claret

I didn’t realise you had access to “ 90% of Chelsea fans “ ? Though I stand corrected. It was a fairly soft pen and the red very harsh indeed , however to make out that Assignon was totally innocent in the incident is bizarre. You cut across a player at speed in the box ,raise an arm across his bod...

He could have given away 4 goals very easily. I'm not sure that's in the instructions. He's got away with a hell of a lot this season.

Yet he keeps getting picked.
Obviously VK isn't measuring him against how many goal chances he might give away. Maybe he wants him for the chances he creates.

Colburn_Claret

That was awful.
Everytime City got the ball, slow it down, don't cross the halfway line until Arsenal have reset the backline.
Slow, slow, slower, slower, slow.
Yawn.

At least Arsenal worked for the point they were happy with, but City deserved nothing.

Colburn_Claret

That tracking back came from his own mistake. I'm not sure why he should be cut any slack for not being good enough. Why he's still getting games as a full back at any point is just ridiculous when Roberts is out on loan. I posted on the CT thread, Vitinho had a 78.9% passing accuracy, CT only had ...

Son has just shown me a clip posted on FB of Agbonlahor having a right melt down at that decision on TalkSport.
Good on him.

Colburn_Claret

I think he struggled before dropping, as much to do with our open style and lack of a DM, as to his own ability.

He has definitely looked more up for it since his return, and the amount of times he got to the edge of the box yesterday, and supported the attack, was a welcome change.

Colburn_Claret

Assignon was never anywhere near the ball nor did he make any attempt to do anything but cut across the player and raise his arm and hand in his face . True, if in midfield it would have probs just been a foul . People spouting bs like “ Referees are crap “ really are the utterly clueless ones , yo...

Came home last night just in time to watch our game on Motd and the thoughts of an ex pro footballer on the penalty decision, now I was a bit tipsy but he explained why it was not a penalty. My question is do any ex professional footballers sit on var because a common criticism thrown at refs is th...

Colburn_Claret

Very nice of a moderator to post insults, really set the bar high. He’s been a very good footballer for us over the years, one of the best left backs I have seen play for us. It was pretty evident his level dropped significantly in Dyche’s final season and I haven’t seen much evidence this season h...

I don’t think Dyche would allow anyone, including himself to sit back.

We did it every season we were safe early, bar Europe. A couple of times we could have finished top half but just stopped when we were safe.

Colburn_Claret

He was great, but Charlie, like the rest of the team, is hero one week, villain the next. Picking teams with hindsight would be brilliant. He could start against Wolves and be rubbish, then this thread would be wasted. Consistency is what we need from all of our players, including Charlie. That said...

Colburn_Claret

They have a very easy run in, and if they don't take advantage of it, then everyone around us will. It just makes our job harder. I think they'll be fine. The worry is they make safety and sit on the beach for the last 3 games, which could really hurt us.

Colburn_Claret

Very good interview and worth the watch if anyone is hesitating.

Colburn_Claret

Just checked out The Shed End. Vast majority agree it was never a penalty, and never a booking. Muric said to look Bonnettiesque for his long throws. Not a lot of praise for Burnley, but mostly because they were too busy slagging off their own, and Poch. Some said they were lucky to get a point, tha...

Colburn_Claret

With so much going against us, that was an unbelievable point.
I'm not poetic enough to laud the praise this team deserves for today. I'm buzzing, feels like a win.

Colburn_Claret

Regardless of the final result, we can all be proud of the lads today. We're finally showing this last month, that we deserve to be at this level. It might be too little too late, but it still makes you feel better.

I thought this story came out a week ago.
it was just a playful cuff that the recipient didn't appreciate. Tarks and another of the players went and told SD that the lad didn't like it, so SD went and apologised as he hadn't realised the kid had misunderstood.
At least that was the story I read.

I was sat next to a young couple with a baby in a papoose a couple of games ago. The baby only looked about 3 weeks old, I asked if it was their first game, and they said it was their second.
I don't know any official policy, but if this baby was allowed in then any baby will.
Good luck to them.

He always had more licence at Swansea and for Wales. I still like him, and he had many good games for us, but never quite hit those heights. It has to be down to how we used him, We'll never know if he could do that in our systems, but probably not consistently.

That Liverpool game he looked frightened to death, even before a ball had been kicked, then played like he was.

I'm glad he's having another good season and wish him well.

Yesterday I went out with ten other Clarets for a few beers just be sociable of course Inevitably season tickets were discussed .

1. Burnley stay up 2. Burnley win FA Cup It ain’t even close…. So many disappointing tournaments (false dawns) with England, culminating with the current ‘destroyer of all things positive’ ensuring we continue to lose the big games from winning positions.

Typical of this season as a whole that 3 of the top 4 have missed most of it.

There has to be some regulation, has to be, and the Premier League have shown again this week with Forrest and Everton, that they just aren't willing to upset the clubs. Without regulation what is to stop every club doing a Leeds, spending millions you don't have and then happily paying 10p in the P...

Burnley always. International football isn't the same as in the 60s, 70s. The format of competitions. The number of International breaks and friendlies. Their impact on the league programme, and the potential to dilute the league even further. The money grabbing attitude of FIFA and UEFA. Southgate ...

Sky Sports showing a video of the worse XG misses of the season. Fofano's miss is second only, to Koleosho's miss, also against Brentford but away. We really like to make life difficult for ourselves. On a positive note, Haaland is also on the list, and I do like a striker that can carry the can and...

I think it’s entirely reasonable they booed what was an obvious poor decision to keep playing him and they should be congratulated if you are right in your suspicions that was the reason Muric was selected yesterday. It's never right to boo our own players, whatever failings or shortcomings they mi...

Consolidate.
We're still going down, but relegation playing like we have the last few weeks please. We need some positivity to take into next season.

It's just frustrating that he hasn't been given a chance before yesterday. It could have gone tits up, and there's no guarantee that playing Muric all season would have put us in a better position in the league, but after his performances last season he deserved the opportunity. It should have been ...

This is where a manager earns his coin.

VK needs to get us to up the tempo, and cut the silly errors.

Stats suggest we are sitting back, why against 10 men.

Brentford are always going to give it a go, why encourage them. We are so poor at managing games.

There is no right or wrong in this, just childish individuals having a spat.
The difference is Joey knows its just a childish spat, Vine thinks it matters.

Meant to add (cannot edit) - A single PL player transfer could quite literally fund a lower league club for years upon years, it's wrong to witness a 153-year-old club crumble because of a questionable owner.

Confidence tho in general is shot so even a 2-0 lead is fragile.

In our 2 games against the Hammers we had 6 pts after 85 minutes, and are lucky to end up with 1. It speaks volumes for our season that this is the norm.

And what have we learnt since the home game, absolutely bugger all. Hang your head Kompany.

It's all about bottle, Luton could fill a bath tub, we couldn't soak a hanky. It's just so predictable that I can't even get upset.
