Pace’s business model very very much needs prem football . If he’s not prepared to invest in at least one quality mid ( loan is fine ) then we have serious issues . A high end mid with Cornet and say Roberts n Collins coming through could yet be vital to galvanise the squad. We’ll know in a week or ...

Pope
Tarky
Taylor
Cornet

The rest Dwight included wouldn’t get anywhere near a prem side imo

We are quick to criticise Eddie Howe, however along with all the other PL managers he would have dropped a number of our starting 11 by now. I genuinely think SD does not like making those type of decisions and the losers are players like Collins and Roberts You’re not totally wrong but Collins was...

God almighty someone thinks Peter Beardsley and “ Lawton” play for us , it does make you wonder , though even the hunchback himself could probs to better than our lot

When a manager is allowed to think he is unsackable/untouchable, you have a massive problem.

When no investment is put into the club for 3 yrs you have a massive problem . We’re reaping what we sowed noting more and nothing less .

There are some of us old enough to remember Len Fairclough (Peter Adamson) being acquitted of allegations of indecent assault on two 8 year old girls at Haslingden swimming pool, where he volunteered some of his busy time to work as a part time instructor. The Coronation Street effect outweighing t...

but if you want controversial here's some: i think the first stone roses album is overrated (don't stop is a truly rubbish track) and second coming is massively underrated. so much so i'd have them as a tie. You’re right about “ don’t stop” and also about how underrated Second Coming was . Though n...

One of a small handful of high quality players who has been an utter pain in the arrese for his managers and teammates over his career. Not a chance in holy hell of him being wanted here . He’ll get a gig somewhere possibly Italy

Oh ffs ! 12.30 K.O for an FA Cup game ? Just ridiculous . While the fa cup does still contain that little something special , this is a terrible terrible time .

Why ??? Because they don't have the same claret tinted grasses like you The fact is we’re in for a very long hard fight with a poor team .I’d take the man who knows every player inside out and has been the lifeblood of the club for 9 yrs repeatedly delivering against the odds vs a mid season newcom...

AlargeClaret

Newc look very much a fast sinking ship imo . Bringing a few fancy players in mid season rarely works and tends to just bring dressing room tensions out even more .Trips would be decent enough though . They’re hardly short on quality per se , it’s the whole disjointed high pressure mess which is alw...

AlargeClaret

Stay .
If there’s one manager I want in a relegation dog fight it’s SD. Any fan who isn’t prepared to join him in the trenches to the last man ( if we go down I expect it to be “ all guns”) should consider Ewood Park a far better fit .

AlargeClaret

New some idiot would say that :D :D Think it's clear that sides over the past few years have progressed there game due to watching top sides like Liverpool, athletico, city all working hard and pressing, it's a facet of the game most teams have now added after seeing the success it can bring. Oppos...

The club as we know it was well & truly shafted when Garlick sold out to ALK. He walked away with £XXm whilst as far as I can work out, ALK got BFC for next to nothing whilst saddling the club with debt somewhere north of £160m. Dyche then played a blinder on his own contract and if repports are to...

When were we actually relegated ? We’re not even half way through season . Yes we’re poor , yes the lack of investment is biting hard . But if anyone can motivate this squad and squeeze every last ounce it’s Dyche . A bit of luck , a new midfielder and we could easily survive . The negative surrende...

AlargeClaret

While hope springs eternal , the 1st half was ( imo) the worst I’ve seen in the prem yrs , just horrific . We gave them around 6? counter attacks by literally giving it away . We need to regroup and without a doubt the 4 weeks Jan15th to mid feb will decide our fate .

AlargeClaret

£25m for Tarkowski? I suspect that's dreaming. We didn't get offered much more when he had multiple years left on his contract. We won't get offered more than £15m unless somebody is really desperate to secure his services. Even then we'll end up with closer to £10m after Brentford take a share of ...

AlargeClaret

Hopefully 1 x quality mid in window
Fully fit Maxwell back in Feb
25m for Tarky ?
Roberts starting
Collins starting
The re-emergence of Lennon / Stephens
A fully fit squad

Will we stay up ? We’ll need luck ,no injuries and a midfield renaissance, it’s very possible

AlargeClaret

Leeds we’re a disgrace at the Turf , groups of lads walking from centre offering kids and families out, they’re feckin horrible fans and I dearly hope they get relegated

Sorry but that is absolute tripe He’s always had a mistake in him and it’s becoming more frequent , he’s never had pace or goals ( per se) . And his distribution is mediocre at best .Though , as a standard bearer of the “ Burnley way” and club captain he appears immune to criticism .He’s an unshaka...

AlargeClaret

Personally I think most clubs have seen over the past 5 years that by working and pressing hard you can still play good football. Liverpool, city, althetico have all shown this and footballs adapted because of it. Unfortunately our tactics haven't and we've been left behind. You’re comparing our te...

Don’t look up is decent enough fun , but not quite as funny as it thinks it is . Good cast ,though it’s trying a bit too hard imo .

Theres something not right between Dyche and Wood IMHO, something will give and I think Wood may well seek pastures new which is such a shame as he is our best forward when on top of his game. I think any forward, when in long term awful form , it’s bound to get a bit tetchy with the gaffer . The f...

It was in her insta stories... she’d put “terrible weather” and other negative thoughts to when she was there. Is it even possible to go to Manchester and not comment on the “ terrible weather “ ?

Fair play to him, he was never gonna get laid unless he became a huge star. And just a guitar and distort pedal you have to admire his balls. It’s music for millennials, safe, fuzzy ,bland undemanding and commercially huge . If the premier league was a musician it would be Sheeran.

While I appreciate our midfield bar is set atrociously low ,and the game was gone when DS came on. I could also be woefully mistaken, but didn’t he look calm, combative and confident with nice movement ? Not unlike a young Cork.

AlargeClaret

I take it JRod is injured again ? Whenever he starts to look sharp he gets a niggle . Though past his best ,a fit JR offers far more in and around the box than a woeful out of form Wood. Perhaps Lennon may get a real resurgence and almost force us to attack

Crazy the only two singled out were the black players. But as with your support for booing the knee, it’s the company you choose to keep that defines you.

It quite clearly didn’t work. Rather than resorting to a combover, he needs to travel to Vancouver, Canada and book into the famous Hassan and Wong clinic.

Considering how Man Utd are playing I’d suggest it’s more than a free hit.

You’re right , it’s certainly less of one than a regular big 6 game . Though SD is the ultimate pragmatist.
