Felt last week that Anthony and Hannibal needed to up their game a touch to potentially have the ability to play in the PL. Today they did, granted different level opposition however both performed well. I know it’s early days but the performance against Spurs was decent and they gone to City and wo...

I'd imagine it will be pretty equal amongst other big issues. Can't imagine them wanting to get soaked. Say the club did away with concessions or raised the price (again) for OAPs which prices them out? They won't be getting soaked at home. OAPs don't spend much at the ground, price them out and ge...

Let’s take the roof off the Bob Lord and see how the occupants of the directors box react to getting soaked

Stand roofs and the weather are not biggest issue facing older spectators who want to watch PL football.

My main point is that old blokes sit in the upper tiers partly because the lower tiers aren’t fit for purpose on a cold wet winters night Just reacting to those suggesting that that means that they can then be considered fit enough to walk an extra km before and after the game possibly in rain and ...

NL Claret

Some frail people in the upper tiers would likely freeze to death if wet through on a cold rainy winters night game in the lower tiers as some seem to be suggesting that if they’re fit enough to get up to the top tier then they’re fit enough to walk around a football and cricket ground twice! They’...

I know we are only one going in and it is far too early to make any predictions or knee jerk reactions (however it does feel like there’s a slight under current on this thread) , one noticeable difference between the performance on Saturday and the last season in the PL is that after going behind Bu...

Looking likely Foster will be the UTC MOM yet he's subject to the usual UTC unpopularity and singled out by many. There were far worse than him on Saturday yet they are free from criticism. What would be the response if Foster had a poor game? FWIW, is Foster the answer? Probably not. Do I want Fost...

Have to agree that Ekdal needs replacing, a few times I looked to see where he was and it usually about 10 yards off where he wanted to be. I’ve been surprised by his inclusion, he’s played less than 20 games in 2.5 seasons at Burnley and been loaned out to the Netherlands, done well to get back int...

The thread itself is quite bizarre, almost an obsession about our keepers . Hart, Trafford, Muric all got terrible stick for no reason . It’s like a mental illness for people who have zero clue about GK’s. Dub was fine and will be this season . I’m not a big fan of his but anyone thinking he was at...

NL Claret

Ah yeah it’s just the one game we’ve seen from Foster, not like he’s been here for almost 3 years. Far too early to judge him, I agree, let’s at least give him another 5 years before that. You can keep up the blind positivity, I’m not sure it will get you much aside from constant disappointment. We...

Well that’s the problem with him ain’t it, he catches the eye with some good runs but what does he do at the end of it? Technically he’s so poor he really struggles with the simple passes and he obviously can’t score goals. So what’s the point of the eye catching run? Not sure why you highlighted a...

NL Claret

As mentioned above and on the commentary , Van den Ven is the fastest CH in the PL - but that makes Foster lacking in pace to some UTC posters , some need to see the big picture before criticising the players they don’t like. Foster caused Spurs problems and almost set up Anthony for an equaliser, w...

The commentator and Paul Robinson talked about the power of the volley for the 2nd, you could hear the crowd’s reaction when they watched the replay.

Some UTC thought he should have saved it. Some on here have a very high bar.

Made a couple of good blocks (low down) - impossible to make any overall judgement after 90 minutes against a team with a clinical attack

My father in law tells a story of going Barnet midweek and Burnley fans taking over most of the ground. Not known him to tell porky pies. We certainly had a big following , recall been crammed into a terrace along the side of the pitch. I would say it was over capacity. After the game it was the di...

I remember 2 sides at Walsall circa 96/97, but I don't remember it at Bury Can recall both ends and part of main stand on Boxing Day. Possibly biggest following to Bury was in the FA Cup with 1000s in the Manchester Road End. Rochdale , think we were supposed to having 3 sides of the ground however...

Birmingham City are taking 7k away fans to Ewood park today. I remember going to Bury and Burnley fans taking over 3 sides of the ground. Have rovers slumped to Bury levels of support? Will Birmingham outnumber Blackburn today? I can’t see Rovers bringing more than 7,000 fans. It might be their fir...

Some very interesting and indeed personal comments and experiences shared since my OP.

Cannot give more details of that as her mum didn't tell me much. ADHD...

No surprise, Muric wont want to be a 3rd choice keeper and Ipswich won’t want him sulking whilst paying him decent wages.

Doubt we will see Muric play in this country again.

My only memory of Joe Gallagher was him scoring a header at Spotland, an important goal given the circumstances.

Not a post about re signing him. Just give a pen away v Rangers. Harsh decision.

At last some midweek football to watch.

Do we think it is right that one person can lock a thread? I get why it was locked, but we need somewhere every transfer window to discuss rumours.

- The players don’t like it. Too much extra cricket. Adds to the load especially if you’re still in the WC, T20 and fighting for the league. - Playing teams in leagues where most players are paid. Northern are a quality side, but they pay well in the comp. - No replays. We went out to the toss of a...

Last weekend’s news wanted us to believe that 3 days of high temperatures was down to global warming and we can expect hot days every summer.

I can recall most summers over the past 50 years have had a few hot days.

I do not buy this “club are at loggerheads with the cricket club and want them out” theory at all. Let’s say they sell 1000 pints on a match day. Thats say £5k gross revenue and probably £2k net profit, at a guess. If they were so desperate for that money they could do something to attract fans in ...

If Tchaouna gets injured in 2027 the club will have failed with their due diligence and medical processes in 2025

I have it on good authority that the club have bought him a dishwasher.

NL Claret

Has this been confirmed in anyone’s WhatsApp groups yet? Until that happens this cannot be taken as fact.

The club needs to give out more information on the finest details of players injuries.

NL Claret

I’d say Beyer will be behind Walker, Humphries and Worrall for a place in the defence.

Out of the list of candidates mentioned I was ok with Parker and happy to give him the time required. There was plenty on here that didn’t share the same view and were very vocal about until March.

I’m not one to listen to what the Fulham and Bournemouth fans warned us about either.

People turning their nose up at the potential of chamberlain, can’t figure out why. It was the same in summer 2023, we were linked with Milner, Evans and Dier. All would of added much needed experience to our squad. Had Redmond not got a freak injury I think he would of been an important player in ...

If we signed Oxlade-Chamberlain that would be our 2nd player involved with a member of Little Mix.

Could be some kind of PL club / girl group first.

Matt Williams definitely said that. Whether he was embellishing the truth a bit for a good story, who knows but as someone else has said, listen to Parker’s press conference when he left.

Would you have Berge back or the other players who effectively downed tools / declared their interest to leave after the Spurs game. There’s a...
