Barnes is a cult hero nowadays - we can't sell him Vokes I'd be sad to see go, he's better than Wood and don't feel he's past it. As for Wood, he needs to up his game. Poor touch, forever offside, yet somehow miles away when the chances go across the goal (there was a chance on Saturday which if he'...

I think I prefer the Moaninho United fans - The arrogance is back already. Everyone else is **** so he'll do well and get us playing really good football. The moment one claimed things couldn't get worse was a good one, bearing in mind I think as Burnley fans we appreciate things can get worse in fo...

No different from any other year.
Get to 40 points before you can even look to see if we are safe.
You could get lucky and stop up with 34/35, but I doubt it... and if you get 37 and stop up, you've escaped, big time!

When I think of a drone, I think of an air version of a remote control car.

Can't they just throw a jumbo jet at it?
What would actually happen if the drone hit a plane? There's must be a reason otherwise the opinion would be... 'so'... but I don't know.

I'd have to say Little, however... How good would JBG look in that 99/00 team if you were to switch? In all honesty, I think all of our current players would look like world beaters. Our 3 keepers are England internationals ffs :lol: I loved Beresford as much as the next Burnley fan, but he was Midd...

JTClaret

Of course we are a long ball team, and quite often hoof it out. What I find strange is the amount of fans I hear complaining at the passing around the back when nobody in midfield is making themselves available, screaming to play a forward ball - which often ends up being a big punt up front. I love...

VAR will hopefully help the smaller clubs with debatable decisions, Hendrick at Huddersfield was as stonewall a penalty as you will see without being given. Isn't the point of VAR for when there is no debate. If it's debatable, the ref's decision stands. If you have the 'yeah, but there is contact'...

Innit!! A late bloomer? Are you fn kidding me?

Our tackles had an edge last night, from everybody on the pitch.
And it's been long since needed

Feeling weirdly optimistic about tonight.

But I think it's because I, and everybody else knows we could get a pasting, so the atmosphere may be a little more relaxing and forgiving.
Work hard and who knows.

Considering Dyche has had seasons playing Ings and Gray I'm really surprised Vydra hasn't been given a go, much like Wells last season (although we had a team that won last year). Surely now is the time to mix it up with the front line. We know if he does change the defence they will just play to th...

Do you know what, I wasn't particularly supportive for 90minutes. As long as he wants to give his best, in my eyes he's allowed to be as frustrated as I was. Easy to go overboard in these situations... It's not like he went to every fan and said f##k off to them personally, but I imagine what was be...

JTClaret

As much as I think Dyche clearly needs to sort something out, I really hope his time isn't up - he deserves better than that from us. I can see why people are saying it, as the team don't appear to be playing for him as they were... but I'd like to think we would give him the opportunity to learn ho...

I appreciate it's not a lot compared to premier league money, however is this not a good deal for league 1 and 2 clubs? Championship clubs can complain, but they have the chance to get premier league money, and parachute payments however clubs in league 1 and 2 will drop further and further away in ...

In the seasons leading up to Stoke's relegation they did change their game signing, or trying to sign more creative players with varying degrees of success, but ultimately they didn't work out. Some of the names Stoke signed are the kind of players we as fans would love at Burnley, as least in terms...

It's not the first time a club that spends big over summer does poorly and sacks the manager.

I'm inclined to think any manager (to an extent) would do well taking over at Fulham

We have played some exciting stuff under Dyche... what makes you think it will never happen again?

Yeah... but

If one person knows something and another person disagrees, you may hear the term 'I bet you...'.
I just find it slightly odd how people complain about betting in football yet care if something like this happens.

I can't say I get upset about it.

Prices have sky-rocketed in the last 10 years, but then again it's much easier to get tickets online (ticketmaster etc.) meaning more people look to buy them. I tend to try and find new bands and get tickets for £10-20 and I have to REALLY like them to pay the prices asked nowadays. On the other han...

I might be mistaken, but don't these rules work in favour of the betting companies? People are being charged for beating the betting companies. They bet that he would move (or corners, score, whatever) and the bookies took the bet. The bookies lost, and then the person who won is charged. It just do...

What car does he have? Tell you what, if I was on anywhere near the money of a prem footballer I'd be driving the car of my dreams too

JTClaret

I'd say Dyche's poor season so far will keep him with us for a little longer.
What would have looked a good signing as manager last year would now look a massive gamble.

JTClaret

10 years, wow. I didn't go, but I remember the build up, being asked why Burnley were taking 6,500 fans - there was just a weird feeling it was going to be something special. I, like many other Clarets became this guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2PZzCP0cFE" onclick="window.open(this.href);retu...

£20m for Jay Rod was never expensive. Not when we paid 17/18m for Wood
£35m is probably fair considering he regularly scores goals, what he's worth to Bournmouth (who could they get to replace him?) and today's market

That's very true - I can't think of any he should have saved and didn't.
Possibly some he could have done better with, but certainly not a clanger

Can anybody find the stat about the amount of good goal scoring opportunities that have been made? It's been around for a couple of years with Burnley having the most shots against us but the least amount of opportunities, due to the defenders always blocking or making it so it's hit straight at the...

Not a problem with her becoming a muslim, if that's where her beliefs have lead her then fair play.
But feeling the need to say everybody else who has a faith is unintelligent shows she already lost sight of what religion and faith actually is, in my opinion of course.

I'm still of the opinion that one day someone will find a way to use human waste... yes, powered from poo.
Everybody produces it, some more than others - imagine if cars, even houses ran off it.

I know there was a 'Poo bus' a couple of years ago, and I've no idea what happened with that.

JTClaret

Football is continuing to evolve.
It wouldn't surprise me if someone was to say that in 50 years there would be fewer clubs because the big ones bought out the little ones.

JTClaret

You mean Heaton, the goalie who was relegated and had a relegation escape with us? Only Pope has been part of a successful Burnley team in the Premier League. Heaton's a great keeper... but I've got to the point now that I just feel the sooner he goes the better. Blaming the keeper that has conceded...

I just don't get the big deal. Maybe he should learn to keep his mouth shut on social media... but I don't see why it's different to 20 years ago when you just heard 'stories' about players in the pubs etc. But to be honest, the poppy just seems to represent whatever the wearer feels it does.

I'd have him back because I think he's a good player. Nothing more to it. The fact it would add a number of factors is a bonus - Chanting 'one of our own' rather than whining how crap we are playing might make for a better atmosphere, not to mention a player who can take the ball from midfield and c...

Can we not hire an agent to work in recruiting? Clearly I know nothing about how it works, but wouldn't someone with a knowledge of agents' workings and contacts both in the UK and abroad, would be of a huge benefit to the club. I don't know what kind of role this would be, a not-quite-agent not-qui...

It wasn't a fluke... Last night a mate said; 'but you're just where you should be now, you over-achieved last year'. I had to defend it. I don't think we over-achieve, nor was it a fluke. I think we 'achieved' last year, but for some reason this season the team isn't working the same way. This time ...

What's the big deal? We have been beaten by City and Chelsea and aren't playing well. I still enjoy going and I'm looking forward to the next home game...

It's a fair question and something that I've been wondering myself. Obviously he is performing well and making some great saves. And he seems like a decent, honest, passionate lad. But there's something about the way he comes across... body language on the field, that Times interview he did recentl...

Had a look to see if anyone had mentioned Barkley since Sunday. Had to bump this.

Was Barkley's assist better than Fabregas’ against us a couple of years ago?
Looked a fantastic player.

JTClaret

It's not the results people are p!ssed off with it's the performances, two different things. It's NOT fickle to expect some entertainment for your money whatever league you are in and many if not most are more interested in seeing Burnley play well, even if they lose, than watching the over-paid pr...

JTClaret

Little for me.

But... Has anyone mentioned ANY of our current squad?
An exciting player or 2 does seem to be missing at the moment.
JBG is probably the one I'd say as the most at the moment, but can't say he comes close to a top list.

JTClaret

Football fans are so fickle it's ridiculous. Plenty said this when we were first in the prem, getting beaten every week. Last year nobody said 'I'd rather us be in a lower league', strange that. Give me scraping a draw in the prem against Huddersfield then playing against some of the worlds best, ov...

My first thoughts were of the rants about not listening to someone won hasn't done, or won anything at the top level.
Granted it was aimed at Robbie Savage, but wouldn't like to see what happens if the 'do you know who I am?' attitude comes out - or maybe I would

Oddly really pleased with this.

He's a good player who gets forgotten about but always does a decent job.
He's one of the few players who doesn't get better in the minds of us fans whilst he's not playing, then surprises us and wins MOM awards.

JTClaret

Tell you what, this awful run of 3 games unbeaten and the most creative players potentially due to come back is just terrible haha
I can't wait for Brady and Defour to be back, but this basic team is playing badly and not getting beat.

People who say 'last minute dot com' annoy me.

Over the weekend I was talking to someone in the pub about how we were playing a team that by all accounts would have been seen as a relegation game.

In... It's all very Leicester and Ranieri is this thread - and look how much people berated that.
