Middlesbrough battered 4-0 at home by Doncaster.

That's a shocker, and even more so when you consider Middlesbrough had 6 players that played in their last league game and Doncaster changed all 11 players from their last league game.

IF the 10 +5 fee is accurate then it could be an absolute master stroke. For balance, Birmingham paid Fulham 15 + 5 for Jay Stansfield ! He scored 19 goals for Birmingham in the third tier, 9 of which were penalties. Not impressive at all considering the transfer fee. Can't fault his last name thou...

Big Les and Broja are both 6ft 3in and are quick so that's encouraging.

Did Eriksen play with Parker?

The article states that Parker left Spurs a few days before Eriksen arrived.

Stan Tastic

Ridiculous to be predicting anything before the transfer window closes.

Stan Tastic

Might be my memory playing tricks but I'm sure I remember back in the day that the likes of Collins, Casper, Dobson and Waldron were left to their own devices when it came to set pieces. It's fair to say they were quite inventive at times. I was at the Charity Shield game at City in 1973 and I thou...

From the BBC article;

He struggled with both back and hamstring injuries last season, and only managed 18 appearances in the Premier League./quote]

Have Burnley ever signed a current England international before this?

Could this mean a cameraman sliding on his knees alongside a celebrating player?

Spoke excellently in his interview, accepting a 1 year deal and trying to prove himself is great, think this could turn out a really shroud signing

We're signing him as cover?

Stan Tastic

When Pep compared playing at Burnley to going to the dentist; it needs to be like that again.

Stan Tastic

He also appeared to be calling Jakub, 'Jakubs'.

European football is slower. Simply that.

I assume you didn't watch PSG in the Champions League.

Rasmus Hojlund Premier League 2024/25 - 32 matches 4 goals 0 assists.

Lyle Foster Premier League 2023/24 - 24 matches 5 goals 3 assists

Goals scored before and after Edward’s signing on tells us all we need to know. Anyone care to count it up accurately? My guess is 28 games - 20 goals pre-Edward’s then 32 goals in 18 games after Edward’s signed. Please advise actual numbers but I think the point is clear If you read the thread you...

Stan Tastic

Weird that he didn't mention that in his first promotion with Burnley he played a high press without the passing it around at the back. This was before Pep arrived in England.

Stan Tastic

Why take the risk. Another dodgy season at Prem level and his value plummets. It's best for both parties for him to go. Ramsdale is a decent keeper and would be more than adequate replacement, preferably on loan because I'm sure wages would be an issue. We'd probably need 2 full backs, 2 centre bac...

Stan Tastic

In the mid 70s there was a 'meet the players' do at the Centre Spot. if memory serves only two players turned up. One of them was Billy Rodaway, who I had a chat with, and told him about how impressed the Liverpool fans were with his classy performance in our 1-0 win at Anfield. The story of the pla...

Which of those who started would you class as "reserves" There were more reserves started against Reading than today Hladky, Sonne, Worrall, Shelvey, Benson, Sarmiento, Koleosho aren't regular starters and Pires is playing at the moment due to the Humphreys injury. Reading are a division below so n...

I would agree if we were mid-table and going nowhere. Tuesday is much, much bigger than this game - therefore, it's not disrespectful at all. It's pragmatic - just like it was when we were managed by Dyche. We play plenty of midweek games in this league without having to rest players on a Saturday....

Stan Tastic

Around 6000 fans travel to support their team and Parker picks a team of strangers. I just think it's really disrespectful to all those supporters. A great opportunity just thrown away because they're playing on Tuesday.

Stan Tastic

Daniel Sturridge said that City might bring Haaland on in the second half. David Jones had to inform him that Haaland wasn't on the subs bench.

Stan Tastic

The 'would of' guys really annoy me.

Stan Tastic

Watched it in a restaurant in Tenerife. I was worried that I would embarrass myself by ce!ebrating loudly if we scored as I was the only Burnley fan in there. I was more embarrassed with the boring performance.

Brilliant by the boys tonight. I think we should have left Robert’s on the pitch, we just looked a little unbalanced once he went off.

What an apostrophe!

Stan Tastic

Even though he played the 120 yesterday let's give him 30s (on as a sub) and 65s (starts) from the left. If he does play up top, as mentioned, not back to goal, we need to have the confidence to release the ball, play the channels. We are playing with a bit more freedom now, probably because we kno...

Our top scorer*

3 strikers including 1 who signed a day ago, 1 not fit enough to start and 1 who was woeful the other night. But yeh good en.

I wasn't talking about Brownhill, obviously.

Stan Tastic

Three strikers on the bench and we've got a midfielder playing up front.

Id have Barnes too just for a cheap solution/ battering ram plus hes got the passion and gets the club.

That's just what we need, another 35 years-old striker just back from injury who wasn't even prolific two years ago in a team that created and scored for fun.

Stan Tastic

Did their keeper have to make a save in that second half?

Stan Tastic

Their goalie hasn't had a save to make yet. Disappointing after Bristol.

Stan Tastic

Remember when he gave Dalot the runaround against United and got him booked. Then VK inexplicably switched him to the right wing.

Stan Tastic

Parker replied: "Definitely. That long pause in the game. That may have been a factor. At that point, with a young team who had maybe not seen that before./quote]

The more experienced Millwall team, who maybe had seen that before, didn't forget how to play well.

Thanks - something I wanted to check.

Just take a look when the referee blows for half time, he does so with us in a really promising position which is rare but he's also short on time.

It would've been promising had Koleosho controlled it but the pass was too high for him.

Two centre-backs named Steve Davis takes some beating.

Tall centre halves is up there with footballers should be able to use both feet in the great big myths of football book. Soon to be added is that goalkeepers need to be good with their feet. Of course footballers should be able to use both feet. It gives them a huge advantage and when they've train...

The Mike Tresor video.

Stan Tastic

I was watching a highlights video of Mike Tresor playing in Belgium two seasons ago and he looked absolute class in their league. If SP can get him firing he could be this season's Nathan Tella.
There's also Ramsey, Redmond and Beyer to return, who should be quality at this level.

How long before some genius puts an apostrophe in his name? There was a 'Danny Ing's' the other day.

Let's hope there's no 'chubby rain' to ruin the pitch on the day.

Trevor Steven a case in point, sold far too early into his Burnley career

We'd just been relegated to the third division and a top first division club came in for him, which was certainly his level. What did you expect?

I don't think I've ever seen anything remotely sensible written in a youtube comment in my life, so I'd be surprised if there's anything deep and meaningful to be found on that video.

Why don't you try reading a few and then you can judge whether 'there's anything deep and meaningful'.

Stan Tastic

Those on here that regard Moyes as the second coming would be advised to read the comments under the interview with Simon Jordan on YouTube.

I think we just broke the record for the most over-hit passes in a half.

Stan Tastic

Kevin McDonald. I remember him running the show at home to Arsenal in the PL.

Stan Tastic

O'Shea was the second fastest defender in the PL last season ( van de Ven of Spurs was the fastest) and his pace is vital if we're playing a high line.
