Re the penalty decision, for me the most telling comment came from the MoTD commentator, whose immediate reaction when Amad went down was “he’ll get nothing for that.” It just didn’t look like a penalty - that’s why the ref didn’t give it.

scouseclaret

I don't really buy any of this VAR against us b**ocks, I think we just have sore losers here. Mount pen claim - the right call. Had a ref not had Var and is looked from behind Walker, he is never seeing the pull and so decision stands Foster offside goal - you have to be clear and obvious to be ons...

Always thought he looked too lightweight, especially for the PL. I sometimes wonder if it’s worth having him for the free kicks alone though - he’s genuinely world class in that respect.

4 days before the game according to the message I got when I booked them, so presumably tomorrow.

We played some good stuff first half, but our forward players seem to be afraid to shoot. Anthony quilts on a few occasions passing when shooting looked the better option, Foster and Hannibal as well.

If Beyer and Humphreys aren't likely to be fit before January then you have 2 squad spaces available for loans.

I thought Beyer was fit again - at least in terms of being over his injury, if not fully match ready..?

Absolute bargain in today’s crazy market.

Really? I can’t see anything on his cv to suggest he’s worth any more. £10m looks a reasonable punt, with the add-ons only coming through if it works out. Wouldn’t want to pay anymore up front

Was the Ericsson link genuine, or just Twitter nonsense?

We all know this is the case for a lot of players who sign for us as a PL club, but not sure he needs to say it out loud.

scouseclaret

Do we know how many minutes he has actually played to score his 1 per 6 games? The stats I saw only show appearances, thus a time-wasting 92nd minute sub appearance looks as good/bad as a whole game. In the premier league it looks like he’s only averaged around 40mins per appearance, scoring 8 goal...

Blood and thunder. Doesn’t sit right with me when our fans lament the standard of lower leagues.

Yeah but it is seriously poor. No problem with saying it how it is, but maybe people should stop moaning about lack of signings and what may lie ahead for us. It could be worse - we could be Luton!

scouseclaret

…and also, currently with half n eye on Luton v Wimbledon, just bloody grateful we’re not back on League 1!!

Can’t wait. Not in the sense of any great expectations, it’s just been a very long close-season and I’m in serious need of a fix of live football.

By Alan Nixon Burnley made a stunning £12.8 million profit on keeper by selling him back to Manchester City. The Clarets spent £15 million on the shot stopper when he signed from City two years ago and picked up £31 million on his return to City. City qualify for £3.2 million to be paid back as a 2...

You're right that only Xhaka, and Adringa out wide, have experience of the English premier league. They have signed players though who've been amongst the standout players in the French and Belgian leagues and look to have the physical attributes to adapt to England, but there are no guarantees. It...

I'd be disappointed if we end up with Pope. Really doesn't fit out style at all, and if we try to play the same way with him in the nets it's going to be a recipe for disaster. I really hope we don’t try to play the same way because it will be a disaster no matter who is in goal. Hopefully Parker w...

Absolutely gutted the ITV coverage is stopping. I’ve long considered it (and the Chanel 4 predecessor) to be the best sports highlights programme on the telly - Gary Imlach is just brilliant.

I imagine a fairly high proportion of “members” will live within fairly easy travel-distance to London - I.e. don’t want a season ticket but want to be able to get to a fair few away games, which makes the decision not to take a full allocation for this game all the more ludicrous.

Went on just before 10am and it couldn’t/wouldn’t give me two seats together. Eventually managed to buy two separately bit reasonably close. Just keep trying if it tells you there are none available.

Can someone explain to me where the funding is coming from for the waste of time that is the CWC? It’s on Channel 5 in the uk, so it’s clearly not coming from TV companies and spectator numbers on the whole have been shocking, yet they’re paying the winners&100m?!

It's a hell of a reach to suggest that players that were bit part at Championship level are suddenly going to go in and be better players in the toughest league in the world. I am not sure what being in the Premier League is going to do for Koleosho as regards to his tendency to run down blind alle...

I like the look of it, probably because we were wearing the same colour scheme when I started watching in the mid-70s. In fact I think the last time I bought a home shirt was the Hollands Pies sponsored one with just the blue trim about20 years ago.

Other than shoot outs I don't remember us missing many in recent years. Although we did go age without being awarded one.

I think our record is about 3/3 for our 9 seasons in the Premier League!

Pretty sure Peter Noble scored 20-odd without ever missing

Is this actually real? Can’t see any mention of it on the club website.

It must be difficult for a team to hold it together when they have a keeper like Meslier behind them. The whole place from the pitch to the stands must collectively **** itself whenever the ball goes near him.

Truly astonishing that they haven’t replaced him by now.

Meeting an away fan after the game tomorrow and the cricket club seems the easiest venue. Just wondering, do they have any cask ale there? Never been in before…

Finished it last night. Though it was was very generic and cliched to begin with but it developed into a really gripping, tense drama. Really enjoyed and looking forward to series 2.

Are there any players from the three teams coming down or Leeds (who will fail miserably in the play-offs) that we can realistically sign that would improve our squad?

Well we’ll almost certainly be needing to replace Trafford, so Meslier…???

After that win over Coventry we won just once more out of the last ten games. We then went on to be relegated the following season and did not return to the top flight for over 30 years. How can that be called a 'great time to start'?

I still blame myself

No issues with having a go at Tresor, but it seems odd to me to spend so much time lauding a player who’s played about 10 minutes for us when so many players, past and present, have never been rewarded with their own song!
