KRBFC .... you must know that your PC and your mobile phone have different ip addresses.
Obviously, right now ABC uses one and KRBFC uses the other.

Heaton, Ward, Keane, Lowton, Arfield, Hendrick, Boyd and Gray were signed by who ? Who plays them ? He also signed Defour and plays him when the system suits it ie 4-5-1 or a version of at home.

I'm guessing you back all your predictions including the ones where you predict us to lose? I wouldn't back us to lose with cash, never have and never will, infact I backed us too score at Stoke. How optimistic is that.

Neil Warnock another example. The constantly blame of the referees is the pressure on him, he feels it, trying to cover the cracks in the performances. I see right through the excuses. I had a bet with someone on here (cant remember who) that we wouldn't get more than 5 points away from home all season and if we did I wouldn't post again. I made this bet after the first away game (I think). Dyche is just predictable, his tactics are predictable, his football is predictable.

Isn't betting against Burnley winning less than 5 points away betting on your own team losing?????

If I was mouthing off saying we won't do this or that and someone offered me the bet yes I would take it. If I wasn't prepared to back it I would probably keep my gob shut.

Yes but not with cash, with my future on this board which I'm not that arsed if I post on here. A prediction with a twist, hopefully I'm not posting on this board soonish and we have more than 5 points.

I wasn't mouthing off when I made the prediction, it was a simple prediction I made with another poster, we added a twist. I'm not going to throw money on Burnley losing and sit there every game wanting a Burnley win like I do, am I?

That wasn't the case though, now you're guessing. Do you bet cash on every prediction you make? Have you ever predicted Burnley to lose? What fan would bet cash on there own side to lose?
Imagine going to the Turf, with a bet on Burnley to lose.

Year is almost over and clearly ablueclaret wants to take the trophy for Pratt of the Year from KRBFC and Saxoman.
Personally, I think a blue needs to try harder to beat either of them.

If we changed manager now, in a couple of months time the same people would be calling for another change in manager, an then another.
Our club needs stability. Some of our fans need bigger b*ll*cks.

Confused. You say you made "this" bet and suddenly change it to a prediction.

For me SD has become stale and after a brief excursion into tasting the difference has become once again enmeshed in the framework and the players who make that possible, whilst sidelining players of much higher quality who have the potential to pose problems to the opposition but sadly pose an even bigger one to SD.
SD has been a great manager for the club and has much more to offer but his demeanour and manner suggest his passion has gone and with it the drive needed to take this club forward.
I fancy the Board probably don't take the view I do but for me it's time for a change, something SD appears resolutely against doing.
Sometimes it takes an act of great bravery to bring success now I believe is the time for the club to look elsewhere to find a leader more in keeping with the tradition of this club as a ball playing, skill centred side.
The fine art of angling.
(1) Know your quarry.
(2)Do your reconnaissance.
(3)Use the appropriate bait.
(4)Cast your line.
(5)Wait for bites.

I wouldn't bet against Burnley either, but I also wouldn't offer bets on a messageboard either.
There is a debate to be had about SD, but only at the end of the season and only if we go down again.
And even then, who is better than him at getting teams promoted from the championship?

The question I raise is, do we wait until we're mathematically relegated or do we try and do something about it?

But we are not in that position, and our home form is one of the best in the division.
We've a good manager, and though the football can be agricultural at times, we'd be daft to change, especially for untried and especially with our wage budget.
Just enjoy it man!

Sean Dyche has been a beacon for this club.
With comparatively little money he has had two promotions and raised the standard of football and the ckub profile, around the world.
I'll take another relegation and keep him rather than lose him.
I won't have to though because we are staying up.
He doesn't play my preferred style but I'm not crying in my beer.
He watchs the players train, he knows their state of health and he picks the best team available for the challenge in front of them,

Looking at the table and home form right now, you would be happy. The away form will slowly see us slip further and further down the table in the long run though. The table at Christmas doesn't matter.
Found the post when you promised not to post again if we got more than 5 points away from home. No mention of me doing the same if we don't, so it looks like a freeroll.

You didn't answer the question earlier either: How will the away form see us slip further down the table if we maintain the home form?

Every manager has his time, SC should have gone a year before he did, BL was never right but should have gone at the end of the season. EH again should have gone at the end of the season and for me SD should go now.
Of course those wishing for stability, loyalty, continuity have a very good case, SD it could be said deserves to stay here and see this season through, and certainly he's a good a bet as anyone for getting us out of the Championship for a third time, but for me the project is looking tired, the personnel not quite up to it, sadly the integration of knew talent and energy hasn't happened, we are very much where we were last time.
We now in my opinion need a new manager to give this side the boost of confidence it needs to believe it can compete with the best, not to be constantly told it is struggling against the odds.
SD's methods have been champion but now we need something premier if we are to retain our place at the top table.
