I’m going to go. Unbeaten. 8 points.

I don't think you can get 8 points from 3 games can you?

Last season we had a kit that was claimed to reflect the coal mining industry. Some of the crap you read when new kit is released takes some believing. But there is a brilliant quote from Lucynda Davies, Managing Director, PUMA UK & Ireland, speaking after it was confirmed that PUMA would be supply...

Thanks

Some people just like to start a new thread on an old subject Perhaps extending the thread a little bit on a similar subject regarding a player who has had less playing time and less column inches than Mike Tresor, does anyone have any info on Shurandy Sambo? Since August at Sunderland I don't thin...

Poisoned chalice.He would have been better staying as the can lad at Spurs. Still nice payoff awaits just before Christmas.

Does that mean that a reset (ie Ange is on his way out) is likely with the rest going with him?

Michael and Will Keane Burnley vs Hull about 10? years ago.....twins as well!

Gillett on VAR

How does this clueless lump get a match let alone the Cup Final

Petersa

If Burnley are to stick with purple potion it may give Ashley something to put on his other buttock.

However although not over keen on the colour I think that it is more important who is inside the shirt than the shirt itself

Petersa

I tend to think that by the law of averages a promoted team will stay up next year whatever the expert prophets of doom may say. Whether that's Burnley I wouldn't like to say at this stage.

I know it’s incredibly unlikely but does anyone think Holjund from United will end up at one of the promoted teams

From what I've seen he would be a good signing for Bradford or Doncaster or Port Vale. Thats looks about his level

I suspect that those most annoyed by this neologism are those who feel most seen by it.

Suspect I might be more annoyed by the word neologism if I had the slightest clue what it meant

Only Ron Greenwood knew the WHU way.

I think it was when they could string 2 passes together, on mud quagmire, when others went longer.

Although as England manager he seemed to get travel sickness when outside London, he was of course born in Burnley

Petersa

I always thought that our record stood until Arsenal beat it, but according to this Leeds, Forrest and Liverpool beat it before then. https://theanalyst.com/2024/11/the-longest-unbeaten-runs-in-the-premier-league Only Burnley and Arsenal did 30 in the same season. The others were over two seasons. ...

Petersa

Lets hope it goes well

Petersa

I presume these fees include what clubs pay to offload players surplus to requirements. Suspect if Man U eg can get rid of quite a few this summer then agents fees could be money very well spent.......at least better than what they paid to recruit some of them in the first place

Petersa

If I was a ref I dont think I would have voluteered for this one. Suspect it could be a tad fiesty......good luck Mr Webb!

Isnt Obafemi"'s contract up at the end of the season?

I played cricket against Paul McKenzie on Ringstone Crescent and clean bowled him first delivery

If memory serves me correct that would be appropriate as he was a postman prior to joining Burnley

Paul Mckenzie about 1994

Whats the situation with loan players? Are they still eligable? Edwards, Anthony, Flemming et al?

Unless it was an all ticket game you went on the ground and then paid extra to go in the Enclosure. There was also an enclosure at the front of the other side. I can’t imagine remember the gates but they’d stopped charging by the time I started going on. Definitely remember the fencing and gates on...

kids didnt have to pay extra to get in , it was just sixpence.

In the few seasons before it closed they most certainly did.

Petersa

not sure, but to many it was "The Enclosure" the standing bit below the seated area. think it was only a "tanner" to get in. An extra tanner (six old pence = 2.5p for those under 70) you still had to pay the standard turnstile fee to get to the Enclosure in the first place. In my early days going o...

Extenuating circumstances......the referee was Robert Jones.....he hasn't got a decision correct yet that matters

Just seen the halftime highlights Ipswich / Villa ,......QED? He should have been sacked years ago.....does he ever get any thing right?

Petersa

That one was given specifically because the ref was *****. Same day we scored a goal he disallowed when Mee was bulldozed in the back of the head. It was either play on for a goal to us or a penalty (possibly a red card too.) Obviously the ref gave a free kick to Leeds. Extenuating circumstances......

Petersa

A good read and it wass a smashing performance. Tony, I am sorry, however, you have wished for a home draw so we will probably get Plymouth away just to keep the travelling fans happy! Good odds on another south coast team Plymouth, Brighton and Bournmouth still in....3 out of 15....possibly Exeter...

A week before Christmas 1996 vs Cardiff . I was back from working overseas a Joe Neenan howler condemned Burnley to a home defeat.

Well he didn’t get his league medal with Burnley until over a generation after 1960.

Wonder if any other Burnley player has even scored against Rangers and Celtic ?

Bobby Seith for Dundee?
Dont know the answer but with the link-up between Burnley and Dundee I am surprised that noone has got a picture of Bobby with League winners medals for both clubs

Happy Birthday Tony and thanks for all you do. Even though I don’t know you personally all you do is very much appreciated .

Couldn't have put it better myself

Have a good one

Arteta is clearly an excellent football coach no doubt about that. I have often wondered how good Arsenal could be if he spent more time coaching them as opposed to the countless inane interviews he gives to Sky Sports every week

I hope everyone is as "dreadful" as Cullen for the rest of the season

Do you mean Alex Elder's last-minute penalty versus Man U at Turf Moor in 1965-66? We won 3-0. What followed was a full-scale battle between both sets of fans on the pitch. The most notable feature of which was the rest of the crowd's reaction: everyone staying behind to roar them on. No QN. Defini...

Another definitely not a winner because Alan Stevenson saved it was at Brentford in 1981?ish. A 0.0 draw duller than even the Preston game this season!

Not sure it was a winner or an equaliser.

Why is it unsustainable? Is xG a better indicator than points gained over 12 games?

Don't fully understand xG.....getting on a bit now but still beleive that if you have more points than teams below you, you are above them in the table and that could be relevant at the end of the season

For everyone having a dip at Scott Parker please ask yourselves this question

"As the whistle blew to start the season at Luton in August would you have been happy after 12 games for Burnley to be second in the table?"

I'm still bemused that Emi Martinez is the best goalkeeper! By no means the best in the Premier League imho. But this is the same bunch that voted Allison Becker the best in the world a few years ago when the English PFA voted Nick Pope No1 the same year. Not to mention when they awarded Leeds the m...

Again in the same team didn't Sam Allardyce and his son Craig play together for Preston?

I suppose I managed to pressgang myself into this so lets try
Carrots 12
Turnip 10
Peas 42
Green Beans 25
Water 71mls

No - it was Leeds United. Leeds City was dissolved in 1919.

Quite right CT and thankyou, just double checked on Google. Had it in my head that it was 1929 that Leeds City were wound up. Before anyone asks no I wasn't around at the time

Petersa

" Luca Koleosho solo goal in the 18th minute was enough to ensure victory and give us our first clean sheet at Leeds since winning there 2-0 in 1927."

Doesn't that mean a first clean sheet ever against Leeds Utd at Elland Rd? Wasn't it Leeds City then who were wound up a few years later?
