It wasn't there when it was first published. I've refreshed and can now see it, cheers! Fair play, it's actually quite a long interview as well -- far shorter than the teaser of part one! That should say far longer* than the teaser of part one. Having a bit of a nightmare. Shame edit feature is onl...

Video is there on the link, just scroll to the bottom. Have to say, I'm yet to hear anything from Kompany that isn't positive. Yeah its all words at the moment yadda yadda but I'm really pleased we've got him. It wasn't there when it was first published. I've refreshed and can now see it, cheers! F...

Would you go as far as to say its a PR disaster?

Ha, I wouldn't go quite that far!

I see the club has posted part 2 of the interview with the new gaffer. Does anybody else find it weird how they've done this? For starters, the second part doesn't seem to include a video. I'm sure there's a marketing strategy behind it but I'm not too keen on the drip feeding of content. Anyway, he...

Duff was my first choice for our recent managerial vacancy. You can certainly see the high esteem in which he's held at Cheltenham with those comments from their chairman. I think he'll do a great job at Barnsley and wish him all the best. Perhaps he'll still be Burnley manager one day although for ...

williamjblazkowicz

Finally! Pretty happy with this one. Welcome to the club, Vincent!

williamjblazkowicz

I believe he tried his best for Burnley while he was with us. For whatever reason, it didn't work out. It's true he should have done better with a few chances although it's also true he played in a poor side without the best of service. A poor season in all. Shame but it is what it is. I'd prefer he...

For me it has got to be the shootout following the bank robbery in Heat. Very well executed and the sound is terrifying. One of the few films I’ve seen where the gunshots sound real (best heard on good speakers).

Well that's not good.

When I was a kid back in the 60's my dad cut a hole in the barn door to allow access for the Swallows. Because he had put a new door on over the winter ... Mum was wondering why they had all congregated on the washing line looking confused ... within an hour of cutting the corner off the door they ...

Is the nest totally enclosed with a small hole to fly in that's an Housemartins nest a Swallows is open

Good question! Just a small hole near the top so yes, that sounds like a house martin's nest!

williamjblazkowicz

Just as the sun goes down here the swallows put on quite a show,flying at speed past our living room window,presumably catching flies I would think...beautiful graceful bird and its always a joy to see the first one as it denotes summer is around the corner,think the OP has mistaken swallows for Ho...

williamjblazkowicz

To reduce bird droppings from nests under the eaves, drill 2 or 3 holes in the bottom of a margarine size tub. Assuming you can get a ladder and are ok with heights, drill a hole in the brick joint put in a screw plug, a foot below the nest then screw/washer the box into it. That will stop most of ...

Are you sure they’re not House Martins?

I'm fairly sure they're swallows but admit you've made me have a look at comparison photos of the two types now!

williamjblazkowicz

Its sad. I've actually seen it happen. Swallows are amazing little beasts though - along with a good few others - that make that long migration every year. Yes, and they're quite fun to watch flitting about in the evenings. Having said that, we're not keen on having more nests. One is enough for us...

Yesterday, Blakesboots was arguing that communication has either stayed the same as under the previous ownership or improved. I'm not too sure about that.

Colborns right. Sometimes swallows will eject another pairs eggs or babies if they want the nest

Yeah, I had a little look online and have seen it suggested elsewhere as well. What a shame that is.

williamjblazkowicz

Odd Only a guess but if there are adults flying in and out, possibly they are stealing the nest from another pair, maybe they chucked them out. Birds can be ruthless. Ah, what a shame that is. Poor little things (and feel sorry for the parents too!). You're quite right, that is ruthless. Thanks for...

williamjblazkowicz

We have a swallows nest under the eaves of our house. It has been there for two of three years and, bird poo aside, doesn't bother us too much as we like birds. Yesterday evening, I noticed a small, dead baby bird on the window ledge that's underneath the nest. However, today I've found three more, ...

Vincent Kompany

That's quite the detective work!

williamjblazkowicz

Didn't he claim it was happening yesterday as well? I'll imagine he's since deleted that tweet.

williamjblazkowicz

I had a bad feeling about Drinkwater from the moment he did that first ClaretsPlayer interview with us. It was hard to ignore just how unenthusiastic he looked.

williamjblazkowicz

There was an interesting quote in The Athletic about Wout: " The Dutch striker is an intense character, driven and constantly putting in extra work, searching for improvement, including sending late-night messages to team-mates with thoughts on how they could improve ." I assume "they" refers to the...

I’d also be looking at Troy Parrot from Spurs.

Troy Parrot?

williamjblazkowicz

I hope he stays. He wasn't exactly put in a situation to be successful. We've struggled for goals for a while and that is largely down to our midfield. Yes, Weghorst should have done better with some of his chances but he was playing in a poor side while still getting used to the PL. Not exactly ide...

williamjblazkowicz

Well, we're onto four pages. The real question is, is Alan here? Or is he there?

He did say ‘I understand Ben mee is to sit down with his representatives and decide soon’

That's stating the obvious though. For example, I understand Burnley are set to hire a new manager in the near future.

williamjblazkowicz

Fine! Not that bothered about the Premier League beyond the financial incentives it provides. Looking forward to seeing some new players in claret and blue and hopefully a different style of football (one that actually sees us score goals).

williamjblazkowicz

He's a top player and gave everything he had. Can't ask for more than that.

williamjblazkowicz

Obviously we can expect to see some players depart. While there's an awful lot of rebuilding to do, I can't help but think that's advantageous for a new manager coming in. Surely, a blank canvas and the chance for to put their stamp on things is an attractive proposition for an incoming manager. The...

williamjblazkowicz

Well, it's far less of a gulf from League One to the Championship than it is from League One to the Premier League (yep, Michael Duff!).

williamjblazkowicz

Tough to take but at the end of the day, we weren't good enough this season. They did well towards the end to give us hope going into the final match but the performance wasn't good enough today. Oh well.

williamjblazkowicz

Well deserved. Pathetic performance when it matters most.

williamjblazkowicz

Not good enough so far. Let's hope for a magic HT team talk.

williamjblazkowicz

Idiotic from Collins.

williamjblazkowicz

Not Burnley team news but seems like Leeds are without Bamford after all. They were hoping he might be back for today but he has covid.

williamjblazkowicz

Ah, fair enough. So there is. In that case, I understand if mods want to delete this.

williamjblazkowicz

I'll be sorry to see him go whenever that may be. One of my favorite players in recent years.

Just spotted this on BBC: "Burnley & Leeds threaten legal action against Everton and Premier League over handling of club's finances"

Had butterflies in the tummy all morning. I'm not sure how I'm going to cope on Sunday. Hopefully a point or three tonight to settle the nerves.

I read that as "a pint or three tonight to settle the nerves". That could also work to be fair.

williamjblazkowicz

Oh that's gorgeous.

williamjblazkowicz

I just want to see Liverpool get that first goal to see how Everton react. I think they'll implode.

williamjblazkowicz

A very good player. Certainly the best left back I've seen play for us. All the best to him.

williamjblazkowicz

That was very well said, pureclaret. It's clear to see how much he meant to you. All I can add is my condolences and that I will raise my glass of whisky tonight to your dad. UTC.

williamjblazkowicz

I have to say, I am a little apprehensive about this game. Players haven't had much rest (and it's not like we have the biggest squad) and Wolves have had a good couple of weeks. But in answer to your question, I'd push for the winner. We need to win games to get out of this. I kind of like the simp...

Great credit to Mike Jackson and staff for stepping up in a challenging situation. I've been really impressed by Jackson so far.
