Jamal lascelles is more likely than Tarks I’d wager.

How can Sutton, or anyone else, get so vitriolic by this appointment. He did brilliantly well at Sevilla, three consecutive Europa League titles is not be sniffed at, yes he had money to burn at PSG but he’s won the league and cup, as far as I can see, he has maximum success at the clubs he’s been a...

Kante for me for two seasons running. I think he’s an unbelievable player.
Spurs were comfortably the best team at the Turf.

Reading the one team in Bristol message board, it seems unanimous in the fans’ eyes that Bryan is a better left midfielder than left back. There’s also a strong feeling that he has a poor second half of the season and generally they don’t seem too sad to see him go.

Cubanclaret

I see Bryan is with same agency as Wood, Barnes and Lennon among others (including previously reported target Matt Phillips), so perhaps and agency Burnley are comfortable dealing with.

Cubanclaret

I’d make West Ham among the favourites for relegation.

Burnley fans might find it inconceivable but it could just be that Ben fancies a change of scene, rather like Arfield, his best mate. When he signed as a 22 year old - or whatever he was - he mightn’t have exepected to see out his career with us. His next decision is a career defining one, so it mig...

Cubanclaret

I think he should be going and we seem to be very light in central midfield. Danny Rose has hardly played this season and there’s no need for him and Young when Delph is there (three players who have played lwb this season).

Aberdeen would be a great draw in my book. Always wanted to go there but never got that far up. Colburn - I was on holiday in Croatia last year with an Everton supporting friend, and they drew Hadjuk Split - we were staying in Istria and considered the 5 hour drive but there were a lot of restrictio...

Scotty's late goal at Ipswich in Dyche's first promotion year was a good moment, buried a hoodoo with that one. I'd also go with his late goal at home to Everton, I missed our win over them under Coyle, so it was the last notable team I'd never seen us beat in the flesh until Scotty's intervention. ...

I'd imagine Chris Hughton would be a popular choice of manager at Spurs if Pochettino did go. Well-loved ex-player, possibly only a season behind our Sean Dyche in terms of his achievements - two promotions from the Championship and stayed up with a game or two to spare. If Poch had any genuine feel...

Cubanclaret

The assumption that a lot of people have been making is that the 3rd choice keeper doesn't play anyway, therefore Hart's experience from the sidelines comes into play. But the issue for Southgate is that he might genuinely not have decided what his top order of goalkeepers is yet and the squad will ...

Cubanclaret

He’s done great this season after a quietist start. When you look at all our goals this season, he’s made a lot of them, end product to go with his excellent discipline and work ethic. He and a fully fit Brady would be a fair notch above Lennon for a starting berth given each players contribution th...

Wasn't it equally as boring last season? I'm sure everything had been decided.
Hull, Middlesborough and Sunderland were all down.

Cubanclaret

Well chuffed for Huddersfield.
Swansea was a pretty crap hunting ground for us, 3 defeats out of three and 5 out of 6 defeats in total.
A long haul too.
Give me the Magic Rock brewery any day !

Interesting comments from ‘kick it out’ and not in favour of yesterday’s going on. Kick It Out believes all allegations of discrimination must follow a fair and transparent process for all parties involved and the organisation accepts the ‘not proven’ ruling made by The FA, due to insufficient evide...

Not sure there’s any moral high ground to seek here. Pope is a terrible time waster !

Feels weird to practically qualify for Europe off the back of such a turgid game, not sure Brighton are to blame to be honest.

Love these two players. I didn’t like Marney much in his first couple of seasons to be honest, I thought he over complicated things and played a lot of over-ambitious passes which weren’t in his skill set. Dyche transformed him in my book - and his partnership with Jones - was perfect for where we w...

I have passed on my congrats to a couple of mates who still watch them. It doesn’t really bother me in the slightest. I hope they enjoy their night. Their record since October I’d imagine is the best in the football league and I’ve always liked Mowbray. Whatever we think of them he’s done a sterling...

Manager of the Year. Astonishing job.

Cubanclaret

Would be thrilled to see Jay Rod come back. Buying back players who we only really lost because they were too good for us surely is the ultimate statement of how far we have come. That's different to sentiment. No reason why Jay wouldn't have two or three excellent seasons ahead of him. Be intereste...

Another tidy display. I thought Cork was excellent too, as he was against Chelsea, they’re a good foil for each other, I’m not convinced there’s room for all 3 (re: Defour). With Europa games though, there should be enough football for all of them. An occasional rest wouldn’t be a bad thing for Cork.

Still rate the Invincibles as the best team I've seen in the Prem. Wenger constantly worked wonders in his early years, generally spending lot less than United on his squad building, while winning trophies and managing a stadium move that - although wholly necessary to meet demands - led to corners ...

I’m sure it’ll be the same team but expect to see Barnes drop further back, possibly ruffle Fabregas’ feathers a bit- or whoever is Chelsea’s deepest lying midfielder.

Are Chelsea the only visiting team to ever beat Burnley in a night game in the Premier league ?

Cubanclaret

Tremendous achievement. Well done Accy and their exceptional manager John Coleman.

Cubanclaret

I don’t think it’s the extra games necesssarily but the travelling and frequency of Thursday /Sunday games. It’s a routine that our players and staff will never have been used to, and bigger resourced clubs than ours have struggled pretty badly with it in the past. Sitting still on planes and travel...

Puel was certainly magnanimous- fair play.

Not sure any right minded person would want Millwall promoted . I wonder if it’s just that in-built Burnley thing of looking at teams you’d expect to struggle and occupy a relegation place next season. Neil Harris certainly comes across as an affable football man though - they’re on a super run. I ...

Whalley CC were my local club growing up in the Ribb League and had plenty friends in that team over the years, a couple of them still turning their arms over. Burnley CC always have a place in my heart. Reported on them for the Burnley Express for the duration of the 1994 season and enjoyed followi...

Probably the first team player I’d be least worried about, given he’s a fair way off even being fit.

Danny Murphy has been consistently praising of Dyche for the past two seasons but I find the general sound bytes about Burnley lacking in any substance in the whole (on MOTD). They don’t really analyse us in any depth ever, they just say the same spiel every week (maybe a good thing). I’m amazed tha...

Amazing to think 3 years ago we played that relegation six pointer against Leicester when Taylor missed the pen and they went down the other end and scored. Here we are with them coming again ahead of a six pointer if a very different kind. I feel a bit more confident this time, always felt Leiceste...

There must be something in the Derby psyche.
How many managers does it take to develop a strong jaw ?!

I don’t mind Rovers going up.
They’ve won far too many games this season for my liking. Much rather have them a lower mid table season in the Championship, there’s only so low a club backed so generously can fall really.

I properly cried on the Bee Hole End when Leighton James converted an injury time penalty against Torquay for a 2-2 draw towards the end of the Orient season. If we’d lost that game we might well have ended up going down. It was getting very serious, James was composure personified. I guess they wer...

Tarks is obviously happier up north than down south. From what I have read, he is very close to his parents and his mum was very ill a couple of years ago, hence his keenness to get back up north from Brentford. Man United would be the obvious destination if he excels for England. Jones is back on t...

"Perhaps crucially for a potential England goalkeeper, Pope has a penalty save to his name this season, while he has not made a single error leading to an opposition goal. Hart alone, on the other hand, has made three." I'm surprised the goal away to Leicester (Gray) wasn't considered an error, but ...

That’s some majority.

I wonder if he had any nerves in the lead-up to the result

Even more remarkable in that season was the fact we still managed to lose 3/0 at home to Gillingham after this point in the season. Basically three teams choked really badly !

I'm surprised this thread has got so far without mention of the 0-6 at home to Hereford - Stuart Phillips hattrick. Of course it was our worst ever season - but when Wolves beat us 5-2 (possibly the home game before or after Hereford)...the rampancy of the away team was staggering - I recall a palpa...

Brady at Bournemouth was also a superb goal.
Not much between that and Ash’s.
