I liked Joe Bugner, could never understand the abuse he got, possibly a mix of xenophobia and ending our 'enery's career.

OK, update for my fellow users. (Do we need a group name?) As I have mentioned previously, I am on a clinical trial, 5 years. Lucky me , as far as finances are concerned. However, tomorrow is crunch time. I started 11 weeks ago this com8ng weekend, 4 weeks on 3mg, followed by 8 weeks on 7mg. Today m...

Seconds out, round 2.

Not sure the reveal videos are intended just to be funny. The editing skills are also to be admired. The variety of different scenarios. You only need to see reactions on X, to see how well received the videos are, not everyone can be expected to appreciate them, but a significant number do.

Casper2, that is a weird interpretation, aided by a strange thought process. A psychologist would have a field day.

Sonne seems to be settling in quite well.

Darnhill Claret

I made the comment based on the pics of him being applauded by teammates, as he waved his goodbyes.

Darnhill Claret

'Well he's definitely going somewhere', was not intended to imply that he isn't coming to us.

It should just be taken as written, no need to work out any hidden meaning, because there isn't one.

Darnhill Claret

Les, was substituted to avoid injury, as he continues working towards full fitness.

Darnhill Claret

Well, he's definitely going somewhere!!

Darnhill Claret

There was no point in Dubravka going up for the final free-kick, however he could have taken it.

Darnhill Claret

If he's in the match day squad (hopefully not) he'll be at the game till at least 8pm, so would be cutting it fine, depending on check-in rules at the airport.

Darnhill Claret

I do love seeing pre madonnas.

Darnhill Claret

Obviously Dubravka wasn't the only player to play well today, but I expect a landslide in his favour. Couldn't be lower than a 9 out of 10.

Darnhill Claret

Think I'd be tempted to only start him in the weekend games. Bench for midweek.

Darnhill Claret

Hope everyone is keeping positive with no worrying side effects. As predicted, my 5 days away meant that I basically had 'a week off', going up 2 pounds, but a week later, I'm back on track. Starting week 16-7, I've just broken through the 15 stone barrier, weighing in this morning at 14-13. Getting...

H/T ??

Hountondji had the problem of trying to break into, and establish himself at a club from the bench. He only had a couple of starts, and probably didn't have that many touches. New surroundings, new people to get to know, possibly new language to learn, maybe for the most part living in a hotel room!...

Tactics are nearly always wrong after a defeat, for many fans.

Darnhill Claret

Most of the Claret horses pick up a handicap here and there.
When the odds are in their favour, and I don't mean the betting odds.

Darnhill Claret

Self motivation might be playing a part. Home to Arsenal, GW1, big game. Away to Fulham, GW2, not a big game. Away to Grimsby, Carabao Cup, lesser game than Fulham. Home to Burnley, GW3, hopefully, lesser game than Fulham, following disparaging comments from Amorim. Saturday @5pm, we'll know if we'v...

Darnhill Claret

But it doesn't matter what 'we' would do. There is no right answer. It's a free choice. Just for balance, if I had ever had an opportunity to make a huge amount of money, legally, honestly, over a short period of time, over a maximum of 5 years, I might have taken that opportunity, especially at the...

Darnhill Claret

Certainly looks like Ĺuis will be moving in this window, but having the choice of Marseille, Everton, Roma and Man U, it's difficult to imagine him arriving at Burnley!!

Darnhill Claret

I definitely think Hannibal has the potential to be Saturday's hero or villain. I hope that Barnes, Walker and Worrall spend some time with him this week, to try and get him to treat it as just another game. He mustn't feel that he has to be the main man, or do anything differently than against Sund...

Darnhill Claret

If we are playing a 5 at the back when out of possession, (as at Spurs?), it could be that another player was designated to watch/cover/mark
Richarlison!!
As we don't know, maybe we should lay off the blame game, or is Ekdal the easiest target from that game?

Darnhill Claret

Is he able to get to The Turf on Friday evening?
Under 21's v Leeds(?)

Don't forget, Gordon is a Liverpool fan.

I would be surprised if Newcastle can hit the same level of effort in their next game.

Darnhill Claret

Cracking game.

Darnhill Claret

Think Simon Hooper has been excellent in the first half.

Build a temporary 'LEGO' style stadium at Crow Wood. When it is ready, we move there, and stay there until Turf Moor is demolished and rebuilt, when we move back to TURF MOOR. There will be more than adequate corporate facilities, and a designated away fan section, nowhere near to the dressing rooms...

Darnhill Claret

Thought every player made a positive contribution today, and as he hasn't had a mention yet, I'd like to say that Joe Worrall came on and did exactly what was required of him.

Darnhill Claret

Wolves played better this week, so we need 2 points or more out of them this season.

Darnhill Claret

Seems OK to me, but I think we should have that centre section, directly behind the goal. That should be corrected ASAP, unless that takes them under the minimum number.

Darnhill Claret

There is enough footballing quality between Esteve, Ekdal and Walker, that should enable them to cover and support each other, when things get a bit difficult. It doesn't mean that we won't give away a few goals over the course of the season, but it might mean, that we keep that number down to a res...

If Burnley and other clubs build like Brighton, Brentford and Bournemouth, there will still be 3 relegated clubs at the end of every season.

He obviously wouldn't have been the first, but Eddie Barlow was the first pro I'd seen actively coaching his teammates in the field. When he wasn't bowling, he was in the slips, doing all the field placings, and generally never stopped talking. I remember it annoyed some, but I found it fascinating....

RIP to Ken Shuttleworth, one of many outstanding Lancashire cricketers of his time. RIP also to Bob Simpson. At a time when I don't think England had a top leg break bowler, I loved seeing Bob Simpson in the Lancashire League. Although I was never quite 'good enough' at cricket I loved my leg break ...

You don't have to be booked for deliberate handball. A free-kick/penalty is often deemed enough. An offence on the half way line is often penalised without a card.

Darnhill Claret

The most obvious problem we have when comparing ourselves (fans) with Leeds and Sunderland are the numbers.
Sunderland 51,000
Leeds 44,000
Burnley 21,900

I accept those figures might be out of date, but my point remains the same.

Darnhill Claret

I hope that when the players and coaching staff sit down to review the Spurs game, they look at the good, and the not so good, and agree on where they might improve this Saturday and in many of our future games. If we were asking our central defenders to mark zonally, did it work? If they had marked...

Why should JJ treat Espanyol fans any different to how he treats Burnley fans??

Darnhill Claret

How about this for a wild suggestion.

Alan Pace, JJ and any others might want both football clubs to do well, be successful.

Darnhill Claret

I thought he was good wherever he lined up. Always gave it everything.

Darnhill Claret

Going back to Geoff Nulty, it took him a while to find his best position for us. He had periods as a supplementary striker, a centre half and a midfielder. He was excellent in the air, and yet he wasn't fully appreciated and often targeted by the boo boys.

Darnhill Claret

What genuinely surprises me, is how few posters are selecting Flemming for a starting position. Until I see Broja a few times, Flemming is our most instinctive goalscorer, regularly looking to score at any opportunity, from any position and any distance.
