First new vlog of the season, featuring some chirpiness about the win over Sunderland, some ranting about the access arrangements and some thoughts on player development.

We have 19 PL home games. The capacity of Turf Moor is 21,944. Therefore if we sold every home game, including the away end it is a total of 416,936 people through the door in a season. If we charged each and every fan, irrespective of age, season ticket holder, location in the ground or home/away s...

Burnley have rarely generated big money from player trading, only twice making more than £15m in the last decade.

I suppose if we buy a player for £1mn and sell him for eight times as much, that isn't "generating big money". Big money not being big profit. Righty-ho.

As there always is when you reduce the public sector. I’m not saying I agree with the cuts, just that cutting the public sector is hardly an extremist policy. Besides, the policy belonged to one Donald Trump, not Musk.

Who else used "I was only following orders"?

Plissken

So why is Musk a Nazi? I know this will get the thread shut down, but I would say throwing Nazi salutes, making racist statements, promoting racist and anti-semitic viewpoints, supporting openly and not so openly racist politicians (including some that have agreed with Far Right and Nazi groups) an...

You call people Nazis for fun? Ok..

No, I call Nazis Nazis because they say and do things associated with the Nazis. It's not a difficult position to comprehend.

Yeah, because making musk out to be a Nazi is based in fact isn't it.

Go back to reading the socialist worker and filming your moaning videos

You really do have a problem with people doing things for fun and enjoyment that you don't approve of.

Anyway, I have a theory (probably not original) that the more wealth you accumulate, the more likely it is that you’ll die in a bizarre way. Billionaires are notorious for this, often involving yachts, helicopters and private jets.

You seem to be saying that like it is a bad thing.

Out of curiosity why do you think it’s a bad thing?

Given that you said

Honestly, there will be so many posters biting tongue, itching to post something negative about this, be interesting if they resist the urge to.

That you know exactly why, and are just trolling.

When people are sitting on their phones, they aren't fully engaged in the moment, which all adds to the ambience. So someone standing in a crowd, watching the band and singing along to the music while holding a phone up to record it isn't "fully engaged in the moment". Right-ho. As for your dumb fo...

Plissken

Are they maximising their time there, though? For them, yes. If people buy a ticket and watch on their phone, as long as it doesn't hinder anyone else then what is the problem? I'm not going around policing other peoples behaviour. The other week I watched someone that I've been waiting 33 years to...

I'm a bit surprised about us not being on TV at Old Trafford but other than behind closed doors, I'm not sure we have ever been.

Fairly sure the midweek 2-0 win with Jay Rods screamer was. Might be wrong though.

Plissken

TV companies would have overturned this at the high court. Typical gesture politics by the Lib Dems. No they wouldn't. It would have been a part of the bidding for the next round of TV rights. By the way, I'm no fan of Labour either, but it's not hard to figure out why they and others rejected this...

I wouldn't say most are 'distracted' - people just want to film a significant moment in their life and share with whoever they want to share with. I agree I don't understand those who film a gig from practically start to finish, but there's nothing wrong with capturing a fleeting moment to enjoy ag...

Plissken

No I'm not being stupid at all. I'm making a point that people went to hear the band and we're not distracted by social media crap we now have. And yes I'm well aware of when the mobile phone was invented. Social media (as we think of it) hadn't been invented either. You probably would comment that...

Not a phone in sight.

Because a mass-production phone that had a built in camera and audio recording facility hadn't been invented yet, or are you just being stupid for effect?

A little bit of a left-field suggestion as it is a bit sci-fi (though not very) and a definite engaging mystery - I recently picked up "Wool" by Hugh Howey.

Also worth adding that Lee Child is a Villa fan and often puts names his characters after players. So one of the characters in a later book - "Make Me" is named after "our" Ashley Westwood.

There is a small two or three book run in the middle of the Reacher series that are very loosely connected but ultimately they are always standalone. Some are set further back in Reachers Army days, some when he has left. I would begin at the beginning - Killing Floor, unless you have seen series 1 ...

I follow UTC on bluesky, but there’s no account from Burnley official. Bluesky had a healthy spurt after the US election, but it sadly seems to have petered out.

The top earners in the Prem now will earn more in a year than we've paid for our biggest signing. You want scary?

A bit of clickbait that seems preprogrammed to drop at a certain date and time (many club tweets often drop at 9:00, 11:00, 15:00 or 18:00). This is because the press will have been informed of the signing beforehand, provided with quotes and images and then the news can be fully released across al...

Just wondering if there's a precedent of a young player moving to a feeder club and then onto the mother club.. I know Watford and Udinese have, shall we say, pushed the boundaries of the rules when it comes to transfers but I can't think of a specific example.. I just hope it's all made up by ER's...

Personally think we are a long way off from crypto being used as an everyday alternative to cards, cash etc as the infrastructure, financial regulation and things like depositor protection are not in place.

Have the protest groups said what they'd be prepared to pay for a season ticket, and if so, what's the gap between that, and what the club are charging?

115 quid.

Good work again by the City fans and those organising these protests. The game is being taken away from fans by these greedy clubs.

They don't seem to have a problem with being owned for the purposes of sportwashing a petrochemical state.

Blimey. Four pages worth and no one states the obvious reason for the clubs attitude and there is a lot of very determined Not Noticing going on. A few simple questions.

Don't be so aggressive and offensive. Don't call me a tax dodger. What I have stated is correct, card transaction fees are negligible these days, usually cheaper than banking cash. Fact.

M & S no longer accept cash for certain transactions. For years I used to pay off my M & S Credit Card at a till point in cash.

There is no correlation between businesses going cashless and getting hacked.

BTW, which large retail business refuses to accept cash? Because M&S certainly don't.

Plissken

Maybe it's because I've spent this morning making sure my accounts are accurate and then come to UTC to read some pub bore spouting off about small business owners being tax dodgers and getting things factually incorrect and for some reason get a little bit grumpy about it.

Plissken

I know of decent sized towns that don't have a bank. From a business point of view, if your bank is an hours drive away, plus the inconvenience of parking in large town, then taking cash is a huge hassle that many small businesses can now do without. You can deposit at any Post Office. Usually open...
