Quicknick

He looks one hell of a player.

Best players? How many of those have we got that we could sell for any profit, or at least what we paid for them?

Not many, if any. But if we have to sell, and I don't know whether we will have to, we would have to sell for a loss.

That's the spirit.

Quite possibly as we will lose our best players. How could we afford to keep them. Any way, I said IF we go down. We may not yet.

Quicknick

If we go down, I think we'll be midtable next season.

Quicknick

Obviously still enjoys playing which is good to see.

Nick - I think relegation was the following season (1970-71)? Serious pre-season injuries (just after Mexico Workd Cup) to Mellor, Dobson and another player (?) severely weakened our young squad. Tony Waiters was called into play as goalkeeper for that season and did well but was past his best by t...

I am co pletely gobsmacked that so many people are bordering on looking forward to relegation!

Whee were all these people in 21/22 when so many fans turned against Dyche in the threat of relegation?

That happened later in the season. I suspect the crowd will turn on Kompany at some point.

Looking at the league table, not one single team has reached that 40 point safety number!

That means we are all in the 'unsafe' zone. Let's show them all that We are Burnley, from the North and not going south!

Scottish optimism, Ian.

Quicknick

It all makes you wonder what would have happened to Kompany's managerial career if we'd stayed up two years ago and he'd joined us then.

Quicknick

Quite probably. And even though the Championship is a much lower standard, it won't be easy to get back up.

I'd love a bit of a Dyche/Kompany hybrid.

Hopefully Kompany will evolve into this.

I only realised after two fines (being over by a week) YOU DO NOT NEED A LICENSE in higher education. Universities buy a license that covers all there students… you don’t need one for your address.

That's interesting. I didn't know it.

Quicknick

As stated above I was being sarcastic because some posters keep telling us to stay positive because we just can't compete and £100 million is nothing so should just accept relegation and 'come back up', for some very strange reason some posters believe the new ownership is about building a squad to...

Of course we'd still be in the relegation zone regardless of manager or how the £100 million was spent, have you seen the gap these days and how much the league has grown in 12 months? NO championship team can ever compete

All in 12 months?

Quicknick

As someone above said, give SD 100 million to play with, and he'd keep us up. We wouldn't be anywhere near the bottom now.

**** off
Ite clear what it says

Just seen this. Apologies. I couldn't understand what you were saying, but that was because I thought SU's manager was called Hegingbottom.

Quicknick

Maybe SD was so much cleverer than what we gave him credit for - he "never attempted" to sign players that could change our style around and is that because he knew we never had the money to buy the quality required in EVERY position to properly change the style AND obviously get the results requir...

Quicknick

I meant, got the winner.

Quicknick

Delighted Arsenal equalised. If Luton stay up, we probably won't.

Quicknick

I hope VK plays him alongside Beyer on Saturday.

Quicknick

Perhaps if we took the 2 big chances just before they scored then their goal would not have occurred as they would have to restart. If we played another hour we would not have scored as their is no end product. Agreed but we committed a foul on the dead-ball line just before the ball was played ins...

Luton let goal in in last min of injury time and lose 4-3

One good piece of news tonight.

Quicknick

I'll always be concerned by our inability to defend properly.

Quicknick

The remarkable thing about this game it was the third year in succession we'd played Tottenham in the FA Cup. In '61 it was a semi-final at Villa Park where we lost 0-3 and then in '62, of course, the Final itself at Wembley where again we lost 1-3. I was fortunate to be at both these games but the...

That was Boxing Day 1963 so the Spurs game was 4 months later.

Yes, you are correct. My mistake.

Quicknick

February 21st 1970. This indeed was the last 5 goal winning margin in the top flight prior to today. As you say, a Kindon hat trick plus an own goal & 1 from Arthur Bellamy gave us the win in front of just 11185 fans. Prior to this, the next most recent was on April 21st 1964 when we beat Spurs 7-2...

Quicknick

I was at that game but don't remember any of it except the score and a pre match incident. I was walking towards the ground with Dave Burnley, both wearing scarves round our necks as was the fashion. A horde of Forest fans came across the road towards us. 'Gis your scarf mate' and just took them an...

If he can add a few goals to his game then we may have a player reminiscent of Martin Dobson.

Yes. Martin Dobson. I can see the likeness.

DUH DUH DUH DUH BIG VINCE, BIG VINCE.

Keep going, lads. We want more!

Quicknick

I don't want VK sacked. I just want us to win the next two matches. It would make such a difference to the players' confidence.

I think he's a decent bloke Ainsy, some harsh comments on here.

Decent singer!

He can sing. Kept himself fit-looking, as well.

When I read the France 14 Gibraltar 0 result, my immediate reaction was to wonder how many Gibraltar would beat the Lionesses by. Oops, sorry, can't say that sort of thing.

Don't know about a "very rosy view" but I'm confident this squad will become a formidable one.
I understand and like what VK is trying to do.

But if/when we go down, a lot of players will be sold.

Things have changed considerably since then pal.

I'm willing to believe standards have gone down, but I wasn't going to mention it. Actually, I was an examiner, so I know.

I’m not sure all students work damn hard to get degrees? Strange educational system isn’t it when primary school children barely out of nappies spend more time per week learning than undergraduates? In the mid-'80s, I used every moment of my school holidays studying for two years, including the sec...

Do you think? In what way?

Jensen wasn’t exactly fantastic but he was good at 1v1s and miles more commanding than Trafford.

I’d feel more confident with a prime Jensen in the nets just now over Trafford.

Prone to mistakes.
