Rashford has also partnered in an initiative with NatWest Bank to help young people deal with money more effectively.

Let’s hope he carries on virtue signalling until child food poverty is reduced or eliminated although that won’t be any time soon.

The gaffer said that it’s important to rotate the squad ( a non existent concept under Dyche) and that we should expect to see a fresh line up vs Swansea.

So expect to see Tella, Anas and Jayrod start with JBG probably in for Cork.

FIVE wins clear of the pack. Amazing stuff.

A real Brucie bonus result for us in South Wales as Swansea haven’t beaten anyone in their last 8 games including Wigan And Huddersfield.

Be interesting to see if Martin has a go like he did at TM on the back of it next week.

Michael Duff sent off at Barnsley tonight.

Sunderland in 4th place and whipped Wigan 4 - 1 at home.

Hats off to Mowbray he has steadied the ship and steered it in the right direction after we battered them at their place.

ClaretLoup

I actually think that the games vs Stoke and Swansea are a good opportunity to pile up some points. Stoke have only won one of their last five home games and Swansea have not won any of their last eight games home or away. We marmalised Swansea at Turf Moor they really are low hanging fruit. The onl...

With Adams pretty much their only option up front and he only has four goals this season, Southampton would be a bit nuts not to recall Tella if they have the option. The alternative for them is to spunk circa £20/25 million on another in form championship striker likes Goykeres the lad at Rovers or...

The team on and off the pitch are making it look easy.

I think you are one out, I think it’s thirteen.

ClaretLoup

Stan, you are absolutely right there is no logic to it, but for example why can we never beat Luton at home? Burnley haven't done it since 1995 in 7 attempts but Burnley have beaten them five times at their place in the same time period. Birmingham are similar, only two wins at home against them in ...

You cannot estimate the strength of the opposition from their league position in this Division. Blues will be a very tough nut to crack tonight, Only Sheffield have conceded fewer goals away from home but in Scott Hogan they have a striker who can nick one. In recent years they have done OK at Turf ...

Burnley fans used to give Bobby Moore loads of stick especially the Brylcreme boys referring to Bob’s preference for an alternative hair product.

I would guess that Lowton would earn more in six months at Burnley on his present contract than he would with a two year deal with a run of the mill Championship club which is probably the best he can hope for, probably similar to Erik Pieters, so my guess is that he will be staying put.

I am with Domestic and General for £16ish per month I get a boiler service, free call out, free parts and £750 towards a new boiler if the old one conks out.

According to the FA Web site the lads are in the last 32 (4th Round) and are at home to either the Blades or the Hammers. Fixture is scheduled for 21 st Jan but not confirmed and unlikely it will be on a Saturday(?)

By way of comparison. At the halfway stage in 2015 -2016 the Clarets had NINE points less, had lost five games and scored 16 goals fewer. In 2013 -2014 Burnley had three points less, had lost three games and scored 13 goals fewer, however they were a bit tighter at the back with eight fewer goals co...

A load of waffle from Carrick for sure but tbf Burnley’s forward line is on a different level compared to Boro’s and he is lumbered with Steffen in goal having just taken over.

He’s a young British manager making his way in the game, let’s wish him all the best except for the return fixture.

ClaretLoup

Big pressure for Sancho, he cost £73 million when he was 21 years old, he's an Ex City player and United finished sixth last year on his first full season. Anything less than Champions league is a failure at the theatre of dweems.

When have we EVER been competitive in the premier league? Even the season we finished 7th we were 9 points behind Arsenal in 6th, 22 points behind Liverpool in 4th and 46 (forty six) points behind city who won the league. That’s not competitive, that’s just being the best of the rest. I’m much more...

We'd be miles ahead had we not thrown all those silly points away at the beginning of the season Fair point VC. Some of those silly points they lost were when we had a forward line of Barnes, Costelloe and Bastien. Burnley have a great opportunity to go miles ahead in the next six games. Four of th...

Increasingly it would seem that Sean was out of step with the people running the club. His very public slating of the Board when they let Hendrick and others leave and then seemingly his incompatibility with current regime. Whatever you think of the American takeover there is no doubt that it was a ...

I don't see them as a promotion outfit at all, seems like a huge gamble off hopes and dreams. . You need to check the table KR, they are two points off the play offs with two games in hand. Methinks the only way we would sign this lad is if he decides to down tools at Coventry and forces a move. Th...

Some trivia about Alan Ball. He was only 21 when he won the World Cup, and along with Peters and Hurst still had not reached double figures in terms of England Caps before the Final. He was still a Blackpool player at the time and was the last Blackpool player to be capped for England. I had forgott...

Trawling through the footie fixtures for the weekend I note that on Sunday BFC Women are due to take on Norwich City in the Womens FA Cup. The Sky website give the venue as Broadhurst Park which I understand is the home of FC United of Manchester. There is nothing on the BFC Web site about the fixtu...

Good point by BVK. If they win their games in hand they would be three points behind the automatic slots, four points would put them in the play off zone. Looks more likely to be an end of season signing, if at all, as Burnley are already the Division’s top scorers.

Went to the WB vs West Didsbury cup tie earlier. A very tight tense game with the home team within a gnats cock of going through. One nil up, in the last minute they had a one bs one with the keeper and hit the post. A minute later WD&C went up the other end took a shot which pinballed in the area a...

We haven’t played in front of that cowshed at Kenilworth Road yet. That will bring our average down.

No thanks, we already have two veteran strikers who are committed to the club.

Rovers have conceded one goal in the last five games but they have scored in every one. My feeling is that they will sit in like all the others do when they come TM and try and nick one, probably from a set piece or counter.

ClaretLoup

Looking at the Rover’s line up there is cause for optimism. They are fielding two very young inexperienced players in the shape of Garrett and Mola the left back. The latter has made six starts for Stuttgart and none for Rovers and that’s it. He’s up against Benson. Garrett is a 19 year old Blackbur...

Just think of the environmental damage. Qatar have had to build a whole load of stadiums that will be totally redundant when the World Cup is finished whereas they could have held the competition in a country A) big enough B) with most of the infrastructure in place to host a global tournament.

Scored more goals for Burnley than anyone else in the top flight since Andy Lochhead. What’s awful about that?

ClaretLoup

It’s a good question. Don’t forget Corky has already scored against the Stronzi and we have a guy in charge who knows what Derbys are all about.

Anyway, we will find out tomorrow.

Wigan are owned by a businessman/ entrepreneur/ architect from Bahrain. The players have had delayed payments over the last few weeks and have not been paid recently which may well explain their sudden plummet in form. The owner maintains there is nothing to worry about!

I think the games moved on, there used to be a merry go round of the same British/Irish old fashioned managers popping up at different clubs, I think that merry go round has stopped, Bruce, Mccarthy, Dyche, Allardyce, Pardew, Pulis, Boothroyd types will be the most affected. . I think you have made...

A couple of other points re Keane: firstly he is contracted with Everton until June 2025, & he will be on big bucks. If he is looking for a way out of Everton via a loan move, his next club will have to match his wages for 2 and a half seasons, else he will just sit tight and pick up the dough. He i...

It would be a backward step for him career wise to go to any Championship club. Can’t see him going to strengthen one of Everton’s relegation rivals, so the Continent looks favourite.

However, yesterday he had a mare in my opinion. Hello. I'd be interested to know which one of the goals he conceded yesterday he could have prevented and how he might have done that? It seemed to me he made an outstanding save on the final one and the rebound ran to a player that was allowed to fre...

First of all I didn't go to the game or watch the full match highlights, however I did watch a seven minute highlight segment. I can't see how Muric is to blame for any of the five goals Sheffield scored. The first two were back post headers knocked back across. The third one maybe was a potentially...

Sheffield vs WBA was the pre Reading match game on TV last week and Ndiaye looked a very slippery, strong and effective customer. Burnley will need to get a firm grip of him else he could run riot.
