Do you guys realise that you are just getting angry about posts from folk you will probably never meet? You may as well stand in front of the mirror and shout at yourself My only point is that I work in an industry that is widely covered in the media and, in my experience, the reports are always fac...

It was my Mum who took me to the games, from 1965 thru to promotion in the seventies, home and away. She still kept going on her own when I was old enough to go with my mates. she got remarried and moved away but was an a occasional attender and she always knew the results before I could tell her. I...

Vydra was brought in for the midfield okay not in a flat 442 more like a 312 but he was 100% brought in to play midfield not a forward in a role in front of the midfield behind the forwards J-Rod Brownhill McNeil ............Vydra............... Barnes ............Wood A role Westwood could not pla...

My wife and I booked a trip back in about 1997. First class Eurostar to Paris, two night stay. Then Concorde from Paris to Malaga, picked up by coach to Algerceras, then QE2 2 nights to Southampton and Orient Express back to Victoria. 4 nights in all. The package was organised by a travel company wh...

I agree totally mate, he could be a one goal wonder, but if he gets the opportunity now and grabs it successfully Ash would surely be behind Wood and JR and then, depending on his performances, Vydra as well. It's a hard time to be a striker at our place just now but it is great for the team and th...

Down_Rover

With Brownhill, Hendrick and a fit JBG we at last seem to have enough quality to be able to have some real strength in depth. Add to that in Wood, JR, Vydra and Ash we have 4 decent quality strikers. My opinion is that, at the moment until we have seen what Vydra could do with an extended run, Ash ...

Down_Rover

I agree there is no chance of Wood playing. As said above he is just playing his cards close to his chest and if he is not 100% fit why should be take the risk

Same 11 that finished, JBG to come on if no penetration down right

Brownhill will get his chance all in good time

If I had £500 spare each month it'd be going into my pension.

Depends on your personal circumstances. Age, income and need to access funds. ISAs can prove to better than pensions in certain circumstances.

Certainly gives you more chance of spending it all before your time is up

Since Laporte was bought they’ve won 2 premier league titles and did the treble. Since he’s been injured they’ve shipped goals for fun. Have you not seen City at the back without him this season? See what I said above. Until you have a controlled experiment you have no conclusion. I did not say Tar...

Down_Rover

We only ever see other teams centre halves in soundbites on TV highlights when the media promote them. We see Tarks 90 minutes a week, we see every tackle, every pass and every mistake. We see all his warts. I am firmly in the camp that he is second to VVD, even he makes mistakes. As for LaPorte the...

Did we all know? I didn't for one and I still think potentially they were just there at the wrong time with the wrong people and that cost them. I thought Howieson, in particular, looked a real prospect when he was in the youth team. See my comment above. In my view they were not up to the mark not...

Down_Rover

Did we know they were going to fall short? I certainly didn’t and nor did anyone I knew at the club. Well I remember a thread on the old site about whether it was right to boo Hewitt on what I thought was his only first team start. Neither he or Howieson did better than cameos despite being around ...

Down_Rover

It really does feel as if the investment in the youth teams is nearing payback. We have Benson, Glennon, Koiki, Dunne, Goodridge and Richardson to name but a few. If only one of them makes it to the first team it shows the direction of travel, but they sre upgrades on the likes of Hewitt, Howieson e...

6 weeks ago there were some in meltdown as to how we would get another point.

I think the last 4 games have told us to expect the unexpected

Feet on the ground time now without Wood and Barnes. Lets just get 6 more points and we can all relax

It is all relative Arsenal hounded out Wenger, mourinho was sacked at Manure and Potch was not good enough for Spurs. Those who see fit to criticise the board and manager of this club have set the bar too high Were we to finish 4th this year there will be the usual complaints if we only finish 10th ...

- We appear inept within the transfer markets That has been said by many? How do you measure that?

To be fair, Dyche's press conferences are generally quite dull. He doesn't say a great deal and tends to waffle a bit.

Just perfect then

Down_Rover

I have a great idea. With all the experts on transfer dealing on this board, why don't we offer Mr Garlick the benefit of our experience. We could elect a committee to represent the intelligence on here and to replace Mr Rigg. If it works well we could replace Dyche as well. Seems to me to be the on...

Down_Rover

100% agree. Dwight made his name getting down the line and whipping crosses in. Now, as you have said, he is infield more often. Possibly to give Charlie the 1on1 out wide but sadly Charlies delivery is not a patch on Dwights. Let’s get back to how they worked last season. I have noticed that. Is i...

I'm thinking FOOTBALL mate. You know, that game played between two teams to see who can score most goals. The problem is, and it seems that many Clarets do this, too many fans equate 'success' with bank balance. 'What score - oh the game. Sorry I'm not too fussed about that but have you seen the si...

David Gold and David Sullivan (financial year ending 31 May 2019) were paid £2.9 million in interest for their loans to the club. They still have unsecured loans of £45 million in WHU. A further million quid was paid out to GGI international, a company connected to Gold, in respect of a partial rep...

Down_Rover

What I noticed in the report is that we made 5 changes and all the incoming players were internationals Ex internationals more like with the exception of Long who, at best, is a part time international. It is so sad that we will probably never see Brady back at his best and, while I am not one of th...

Joe Hart's only "crime" as a Burnley player is not being as good as Heaton or Pope. Without them 2 he would have been a cult hero here.

Some might say you need spelling lessons. You should check your antepenultimate word

Looks to me that we recalled Wells simply because QPR cannot pay a fee for him

Down_Rover

There was a thread on here a few weeks ago re: how do we move forward? It was a good question. I’d love the club to be a bit more open on their strategy for becoming an established PL club. A lot of the talk focussed around player recruitment. Was there really a discussion about player recruitment....

Down_Rover

Must be Robbie. This was our first top flight goal for nearly 30 years and against the champions, it was also the winner.

Jayrod's goal probably edges it in terms of quality but it was the second goal in a game against a poor team, and the chances are we may well have won without it

Down_Rover

ha. Just recalled that we lost leads in Draws at Wolves and Leicester, ignoring Evans cheating

Down_Rover

Difficult to predict these things or we would all be billionaires and able to solve SD's recruitment problems

Who would have predicted last week that we would have 30 points

having said that I think 38 will suffice but who cares? We can watch with interest

I also believe that no other premier league team has kept more clean sheets than us Remarkable, we just need to score first Shows how good Sunderland and ...
