Shower and beers at the same time? I sometimes take a beer into the shower as a treat.

We're not though.

And what does it matter?

We've spent shitloads on this squad but are still further behind than the Judas squad back in 09

Pretty toothless against a very poor Arsenal side.

Vydra’s looked absolutely shite - terrible signing.

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Sat Dec 22, 2018 2:22 pm

Away vs Spurs and Arsenal was always likely to result in 0 points to be fair. 3 points at the Turf vs Everton.

Ball retention yet again so poor
Can't string passes together and constantly getting caught on the ball

IndigoLake · Post by **IndigoLake** » Sat Dec 22, 2018 2:22 pm

Pretty much what I expected from today's game. Glad we gave them a game and didn't make it too easy for them. Not a bad performance but plenty to work on.

With a fairer ref we might have got a point

Shitloads? Clubs like Spurs and Arsenal spend more on a player than we've spent in the history of the club. Shitloads in the Premier League is £100+ million in a single transfer window.

Shitloads?

I find £500m over 5 seasons to be a shitload.

How many times you won the Euromillions? You must be minted!

SGr · Post by **SGr** » Sat Dec 22, 2018 2:28 pm

It does have all the hallmarks of relegation. It has done since the end of last season, but too many people ignored the signs when they were there. Recruitment is the biggest factor of course. Second biggest is that too many supporters would welcome to Championship back with open arms, not enough pressure on the club’s hierarchy to get results.

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Sat Dec 22, 2018 2:29 pm

That was an excellent performance from our lads. Could not ask for more, other than bury those golden chances.

We are Burnley, Super Burnley.

Do you think Dyche chooses not to use him despite being a world beater?

Or is the evidence of his (very few) performances not enough to suggest that maybe he’s actually not very good? Dyche sees him in training - and I am starting to question who actually signed the bloke.

Hate to break this to you, but our income over the last 5 years has been around that figure.

Lancasterclaret · Post by **Lancasterclaret** » Sat Dec 22, 2018 2:31 pm

That was actually alright performance wise. certainly we were actively pushing for the equalizer.

But that level of intensity has to be over 90 minutes, not thirty and we have to stop losing the ball. The lack of options for the pass and inability to pass it first time are killing us at this level. That has to improve.

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Sat Dec 22, 2018 2:32 pm

Hate to break it to you, but 'spent' and 'income' aren't the same thing.

elwaclaret · Post by **elwaclaret** » Sat Dec 22, 2018 2:35 pm

Nothing much to complain about today. We gave it a good go and Arses pick us off as we chased the game. Bloody glad I don't have to watch them live every week there is feigning injury/fouls and then there is Arsenal. Sure they practice rolling around once a week. Pathetic club, pathetic fans.

A decent window for a change, will see us right.

He has started 2 games and scored in the first and by the way we also won both.

I don't know why Barnes went off but that changed the game.. Anyway, with players hopefully getting back and maybe a signing or two, we'll be allright. Merry Christmas to all fellow clarets and UTC!

Would have been interesting if we had got the definite penalty - bet sky dont show this back

Eh?....ffs the lad has barely been given a chance. In the two games he’s started we won both, and he scored in one of them. And he has pace. He was the Championship top scorer when we bought him. He’s not shite, but he will be when Dyche has wrecked his confidence. I would suggest it is more likely that our board and manager are shite.

Blackrod · Post by **Blackrod** » Sat Dec 22, 2018 3:10 pm

Yes we've havnt shipped a load of goals and the set up might be right with what we had. It is yet another defeat though. Losing becomes a habit as does winning. You can't keep losing so many games and never look like winning in them and stay up. We look every bit a relegation team for me.
