Very sad news. I never saw Willie Irvine play, but I know how big a part he played in the history of our club. Moreover, from all these messages, it is most clear what a stand out gentleman he was.

Rest In Peace. My thoughts and prayers are with Willie Irvine's family and friends.

Also missing Laurent from Stoke who signed today.

For anyone who reads the Sunday Times there is an interesting article on Chelsea which seems very similar to the Burnley approach. References to players being dots on a sheet and seen as completely expendable. I am reserving full judgement until post transfer window, but no one can pretend this is p...

I do feel a few people are over reacting to Kompany's departure seeing negatives where they may not exist. Is he confident and arrogant in places, yes. But doesn't mean he lacks talent. Plus I read the bold comment in the interview above as a joke from Kompany, a self deprecating comment noting how ...

Of course, VK was willing to sign the deal, surely knowing that the club would get a big cheque if he left. I am disappointed he is leaving, but the way it is now VK is bad here, there and everywhere seems an over reaction to me.

Our group has bought an additional ticket near us to secure the ticket. But was just wondering if swaps had finished for previous season ticket holders to know if any seats closer to us may come up we can swap to. Or whether non renewals have been released yet.

Turftalker

So have seat swaps finished now for season ticket holders?

Turftalker

Update. I keep Muric at 8 and think he can be better aerially but seeing the highlights it was a clear foul on him.

Turftalker

Think Maupay pulled Bellamy's ear. Then Jack Cork and JBG and the set piece coach wanted to avenge him. Most success the set piece coach has had all season

Turftalker

Muric - 8 (Excellent distribution, good saves, iffy aerially and potentially fortunate with their disallowed goal). Assignon- 7 (Lovely mobility, not 100% sure on his defensive skills) O'Shea - 7 (Very solid against a top opponent) Esteve - 7 (Best match for us. Looked composed) Taylor - 7 (Solid. A...

Turftalker

He had a good match. His passing is excellent and crucially he does it rapidly; that helps our momentum in attack. But I don't think there is more than a cigarette paper between him and Trafford in shot stopping and both are poor aerially. I think Muric coming in was the right decision, but let's no...

Turftalker

Trafford is not in any way to blame for today. Let's stop the mob mentality. VK deserves the chance to bring us back.

Turftalker

That was a decent half. Anyone who says otherwise isn't being fair. Defensive error was poor, but we have dominated possession and chances. Keep it up Burnley!

Turftalker

Stay. But by heck he has messed this season up.

Turftalker

Thanks all!

Morning all.

It has been a while since I've been to Manchester and thus my roads and parking knowledge is gone. Any tips on the best place to park for the AO Arena, coming to the city from the M62 direction? I want to avoid the post-event parking queues

Thanks in advance!

Turftalker

We have certainly improved our defensive structure. There is clearly vulnerability and we are shooting ourselves in the foot too much. But let's look at the caliber of opposition we have faced, the number of players we have brought in, and the age of our squad. It's September not January. A little b...

Casper2 - not quite how you see a comparison of fan status from my post. Merely that, I have happily got involved in the forum for over 2 decades.

Turftalker

In what sense is it nonsense? Last season we had a group of posters who went OTT with negativity early ob. Same happening again now. Fair critique is fine, but my, some overly negative comments today.

Turftalker

Luton haven't won yet, but they are playing Everton not Newcastle.

Casper2, I've been posting for 25 years, so I think I'm surviving alright. Just calling out those who head in to a panic and exaggerate negativity. All about opinions isn't it?

Turftalker

We aren't at Newcastle's level yet, true. No one us suggesting we've been unlucky today. But let's not pretend some fans are rather enjoying the negativity and are exaggerating our predicament given our opponents.

Turftalker

Am I wrong though? The critics seem to be ignoring the opposition we face, the age of our team etc. I don't see why some people watch us, if they are always so negative.

Turftalker

I think some of you must be trolls. I've never seen such negativity so early in the season. Sofa tacticians thinking they know more than VK, with no resilience to face difficult times. With friends like you, who needs enemies. Give the team a chance!

Turftalker

I do not think there is anything wrong with posters expressing their opinion or showing their interest in football tactics. That said, I do think some posters throw in a lot of jargon to try and act superior and get upset when others are not wowed by their technical know how. For what it is worth, I...

I guess patience is needed early on, but it was poor in the BL last night. The kiosks were understaffed. Lids on hot drinks didn't fit, milk in lots of little sachets and not readily available without asking. Some food not on clear display. Men's toilets out of soap, sinks with their frames missing....

Turftalker

I may have missed something, but why do supporter's clubs get to buy up away tickets in advance? This seems to circumnavigate both season tickets and loyalty points. That doesn't seem fair.

Turftalker

Thanks for checking with the EFL. Pleasantly surprised how fast they replied to you.

Turftalker

Ha. I'll make the buffet sandwiches too

A presentation party will have an impact on my transport plans home. Anyone else with any sense of whether the trophy would be awarded Saturday?

Turftalker

How do they determine when the title trophy is presented? Given we could win it on Saturday, will it be at Turf Moor in case? Or would they wait until the last home match? I assume they wouldn't allow it at Ewood! I am trying to work out if I should prepare for a possible presentation on Saturday if...

A legend. Pure and simple.

I've never played the game, but I like this kind of programme. Wow, it is great tv. Episode 3, as pointed, out is simply beautiful television. Great storytelling and you become so invested in two characters who you had never previously met. Masterful writing and acting.

Turftalker

I think the 2nd half commentators were from a TV feed. They didn't describe enough of thr game to be radio. If not, they were shocking!

Turftalker

Thanks for publishing the list. A couple of names on there of people I knew. Rest In Peace to all on the list.

Turftalker

Another big Two Doors Down fan here. Always like the occasional references to Skipton in it too. Elaine C Smith is great. I agree with ChrisG in that I think it has been better without Doon. Her character at times was great, but by the end of her stint I found her too dominating and to be honest a l...

I'm with KRBFC here. Southgate, for all his flaws, has transformed the culture of this England side. We went out with pride having more than matched the current World Champions. Moreover, you can see there is more to come from this team. If he wants to carry on, he deserves to. More than that, we ca...

Turftalker

I am pretty certain they won't do that. One reason the new holiday is the 8th and not 5th is to avoid a clash with the counts for local elections.

Hi all,

Will the match on Saturday be available to purchase on Clarets+ do we know?

Thanks Burnleybabe.

My first away match since Covid. Hoping for a win.

Morning all, Thanks for all the travel advice. Asda and B and Q both still sold out. Did someone get booked last night there? Is there any on street parking in the estates off the A577? Would that be OK getting back to the car safe and well? Indeed where is that canal bridge we should avoid on the m...

I noticed that on Twitter and read the story. I assumed they must have missed out what you get for your money, but alas if it is as you say CT, it is £75 or £65 just for a seat! What a rip off. Think I will stick to my actual Bob Lord seat, post and all!

I used to love Lenny's energy and commitment on the pitch. His crunching tackles were a joy to watch. Rest In Peace Lenny.

I think that is unfair Jakubclaret. No one is suggesting people cannot highlight areas to improve and ultimately no one is being prevented from making whatever statements they want. Personally, I think it is correct to suggest that some are being overly negative and dare I say it, doing that for the...

Turftalker

It is the quick judgements of doom that amaze me. Some were criticising Tella after his 30 min cameo. He came on against a team defending with everyone behind the ball and likely has had no more than one training session. Give the bloke a chance! Our new style, more than ever, requires the squad to ...

Turftalker

The player I am most intrigued about at the moment is Bastien. At times there are great signs. His drive at the Watford defence (albeit well ended by Choudry) was a good sign. But he seems less sure out wide. When Cork was dropped, I assumed he would partner Cullen, but is he seen as the second pers...

Turftalker

I strongly agree with those calling for patience and being positive. As noted- new manager, new playing style, new league, vastly different squad - all to mould with a limited length pre-season. I am frankly delighted in the early signs. Ideally we need a couple of weeks for the new squad to refine ...
