I thought he was very good again today and unlucky not to have a brace. Here's hoping the one that did stand gives him the confidence to get a few more.

In truth, this is the only sensible outlook. We won't change the big club ableism. We need to be more clever. I'm not having a go at Anthony, it's a collective growth. Agree with that, now I've settled down ;) Let's not forget that Anthony scored again today and played well. We could have lost that...

Ask any teenage lad, they know all about that, and ironically the activity is usually associated with my opinion of the officials and VAR today

You've restored my faith in humanity

It’s not a dodgy decision though Fair enough, maybe I'm looking at it based on the old rules of where the foul started? My second point stands. Burnley did a lot right today, away, against a team that really should be beating us comfortably. If we keep competing like we did today, we're in with a c...

Prepare yourselves for the dodgiest penalty decision you've ever seen today. For United obviously. Just got a feeling.

You said it.

Proud of the lads though. We go on and they know, deep down, that they didn't deserve that. I know which club I want to support.

Are we having fun yet? Seriously, some of the negativity here is unhinged. Sure, we look slow and leaky at times, but we're causing them problems and could be a goal up apart from a questionable offside. UTC

scrambledclaret

I don't really want either of these teams to win but I still have a soft spot for Tarks. That seems harsh. I'd quite like Everton to get an equaliser now

scrambledclaret

the other thing to point out here is the Dutch are famously direct, one of my best mates here is Dutch and you could quite easily get offended by what he says but he has no clue how direct he is so it's actually funny - it's a cultural thing Yep, this. My partner is Dutch and I often wish she was b...

Always thought he looked tidy when he played. Good luck to him.

I only caught a few glimpses as a sub but had the same impression.

Seen a few posts say Ajax have pulled out. I could see Amdouni going if Weghorst stays tbh Ajax have had a disastrous couple of years on and off the pitch and are apparently skint so not surprised they don't want an aging mercenary.

Strange coincidence, but a couple of weeks ago I was on holiday in Italy and ended up spending a day with a bloke and his Mrs from Amsterdam who were Ajax season ticket holders. He said they'd love to have Wout and was convinced that's where he was heading. Interesting! My girlfriend's parents are ...

I'm 90% he'll sign for Ajax this week and he and everyone else will just move on. My girlfriend is an Ajax fan and while she doesn't pretend to be in the know, thinks this would be a strange signing even if Brobbey were to leave. They tend to play a front three with a single focal point and already...

The ref even f*cked up one of the most deliberate handball you'll see for a goal and had to rely on VAR to help him out. F*cking useless f*cking tw@t ............. I feel slightly better for letting rip Maybe not the "most" deliberate but did he even get a card? I feel a bit better for you venting ...

scrambledclaret

Say what you will about the "umpire's call" approach in cricket, at least it's clearly defined. I don't know if VAR can even overturn a yellow, clearly Assignon wasn't sure either. A first half red card is much more significant than a penalty (not that I'm on board with that either). We seem to have...

Anyway, let's hope that feisty so and so Cucurella gets himself sent off too

scrambledclaret

I'm usually one to think that refereeing evens itself out over a season but think we've been screwed this year. There's no way he's given that against a "big" club and pulling the card straight out. There's no way that's getting given as pen if not given on field. The "umpire call" approach to VAR i...

I'm an Australian claret and I watched the match and thought the red was harsh, especially given it was originally a yellow that was upgraded thanks to VAR :( He's figured mostly as a late sub and was again yesterday. There isn't a huge amount of talent in the middle of the park so he could end up p...

I think you're right. The article I read said a loan would be authorised only if it included a buy option I'd be pretty amazed if we were in for Forbs I watch Ajax quite often as my partner is an Ajax fan (and her parents are season ticket holders). He's exciting but flatters to deceive and unless ...

scrambledclaret

I don't usually rant and rave but we were robbed tonight, should have been finished two nil, or two one, and I struggle to see how VAR made that game better in any way. Foster was foolish, and that's going to hurt us, but even that was soft. The two handball decisions were bizarre.

My special lady friend's mother is an Ajax season ticket holder and had this to say about Daramy FWIW: Ok here’s my mothers comments, translated: Here everyone is raving about Burnley's bid.

I know it’s not unique to present day Burnley FC - we’ve always punched up well for our weight and influenced the game of Football a hell of a lot - Founding members of the football league, pioneers like Jimmy Hogan, Harry Potts and our total football approach of the 50s/60s etc etc but..

I was born in London but my father is from Padiham. I then grew up in Sydney and now live in Berlin, but have been a Claret for as long as I can remember. My first game was in 90/91 and my most recent was QPR in April. Watching games on Clarets Plus is a bit more visceral than reading the scores in ...

I read something similar but it didn't mention the fee. 3 million seems like a bargain and I'd be very happy to keep him from the glimpses I've seen.

But I'm confident of what I've said. It's only off the top of my head but I believe public approval for the proposals on dealing with illegal immigrants who arrive by boat received a support level of 50% in early polling.

Just watched bits and pieces of Australia's friendly against Ecuador today (3-1 to the footballeroos) and Mark Robertson's son Alexander made his debut as a sub and I see he's on the books at City. Both his father and grandfather played for Australia too I believe. Aidin O'Neill also started, think ...

I'm swimming against the tide here but think Taylor edges Ward, even if the latter played in more enjoyable era for the club. Either way, I'm glad Chaz is still at the club and Ward was top drawer too.

I can see both being useful squad players in different ways, Jay in particular. One does wonder whether they represent good value though... Best of luck to both of them though

So I live in Germany but have been back in the UK for a couple of weeks.

Good luck to him, I don't begrudge him a last big pay day. Sid Lowe was very complimentary about how he'd done in La Liga on the Graundian pod.

He's been worked out. The defenders on him (often 2) push him inside where, owing to his left-footedness, he can only pass backwards. Still a fine player, though, and if he could concentrate on a purely attacking role could become even better. I think there's a lot of truth in that, the angles are ...
