There just seems to be less and less deterrent for people acting like a prick. I’m only in my 40’s but in my day the deterrent against being a prick was a smack in the face. With my 2025 perspective I’d say it’s good thing we don’t have the threat of violence looming over our shoulder all the time. ...

Towneley Hall has recently reopened after being closed for 3 years, but be aware, it's closed on Mondays & Tuesdays. Went in a couple of weeks past. Definitely an asset to the town. It was heritage week so they had a lot of staff on so learned quite a few facts too. The one that struck me the most ...

Two comments: Cullen a 6 from someone; moans and groans FFS?

Moans and groans everywhere bizarrely - had 6 guys near me in the BL absolutely rinsing Anthony every time he touched the ball. “He’s useless” etc

Thought his goal would shut them up - it didn’t.

Mom today for me

And me

pauliopaulio

I think this can only be a good thing for us as we play them soon.

Complete change in approach and playing style and loss of a popular manager should create a lot of uncertainty.

We’ll still be underdogs - but a fast start from us could really put the pressure on them.

This thread blows my mind. Most of the comments are from the “more fool you” brigade who never buy from a concession stand because it’s a) not good value for money or b) your life skills are lacking for not having sorted drink/food out before. However people like the OP and myself are willing to pay...

Anyone who buys the fare on offer in a football stadium deserves everything they get which is usually tasteless crap.

Bet you’re fun at parties.

How dare people spend their own money on what they want

pauliopaulio

Unless there was a last minute surge in ticket sales there’s no excuse really either.

First time in the North Upper for a long while and the service was a joke. Like someone said above - it’s like the club don’t want to take your money

Interesting to see Edwards in a more central position - I suspect that could get the best out of him. I hope not - I thought he was dreadful today. Sloppy passing and bullied off the ball - especially for their goal. Before the subs I thought we looked decent - especially playing 5 at the back for ...

1. VAR - steals the enjoyment 2. I like seeing us win 3. Scars from the last PL season I’m happy that we are playing at the highest level and hopeful that we stop up.

A ridiculous sum, but in context not unheard of. A lot of money, but less than the P60 annnual earnings I saw about 20 years ago for a Credit Suisse banker, which is the highest PAYE earnings I’ve ever seen. Also quite a bit less than Robert Downey Jr will reportedly make for the next Avengers film...

Parker and the team will get 100% support through the season IF (and its a big if) we keep most of the team together that got us there instead of ripping it up in previous seasons. We’ve built an affinity and bond with this team that will keep us going through the tough times. That takes time and is...

Barnes. Last minute goal to win us the league. It’s written in the stars

My vote goes to Hutchy

pauliopaulio

I think the fact they can reset in the next two games will help them. They are a big, strong team with some clever players like Hamer and O’ Hare. It’s just whether they can shake off the disappointment.

pauliopaulio

He was their danger man - showed it with the assist. Good player but not sure he’d step us up a level

pauliopaulio

Trafford is excellent with his feet. He’s excellent at slowing the game down and passing it to his CBs or Cullen when pressed. Definitely better than Pope. But his longer distribution still needs work. Today was a good game to compare his distribution (high, long, into space) vs say CJ (low, driven...

pauliopaulio

I find the Newcastle link weird.

Pope’s deficiency is distribution/kicking. That isn’t Trafford’s main strength either

Dear Scott...that freekick not far outside their box early in second half was a wasteful, baffling piece of absolute dogsh1t. ...just saying. 3 massive points..and a terrific first half...now for Watford.

Poor use of subs, should have been on 15 minutes earlier, I hope that it doesn't affect the Watford game like it did Derby.

It’s a week away? Is that genuinely the first thing that’s come in your head this morning after a great (but tense) win?

pauliopaulio

It’s because the bookies are pricing in that because we play Sheff Utd on Easter Monday one of us is guaranteed to drop points.

What they don’t seem to be pricing in is that “Leeds are falling apart……again”

Taken a while for the great unwashed to get onboard, but they’re here now I suppose. There’s a lot of revisionism going on in this thread. The post-January Parker’s Burnley is very, very different from the pre-January Parker’s Burnley. The turgid, sideways, safe football we all sat through looks (f...

The Roberts sending off vs Boro (I think) in the Kompany promotion season. Ref sent him off for handball when the ball had bounced off the bar

Trafford 7
Roberts 8
Esteve 9
Egan-Riley 8
Lucas Pires 8
Cullen 8
Laurent 7
Brownhill 7
Edwards 8
Anthony 7
Flemming 7

Foster 6

Thought that was a great home performance. If we’d have won by 3 or 4 would have been a fair result.

I think he also directs defensive corners/set pieces....perhaps that's where his expertise lies

He’s got to be doing something valuable we don’t see for Parker to keep him on. It’s definitely not corners though

Very close to a sell out today by the looks of it.

Trouble is, what people fail to see is that we need Rovers to be in contention for the last game.

We’ll be up before the last game of the season. Convinced of it

We saw first hand last year the result of having a squad of talented youth players and limited numbers of old-hands to guide them. If Henderson starts then I’ll be surprised and wrong but I view his selection in the same way as us signing Barnes - showing the future stars what it means to be an Engl...

Thanks for sharing. It’s a decent read but very hyperbolic - next England manager is a very long stretch from where we/he is currently.

Summed it up when one of the highlights was Shelvey playing a forward pass. Get him in the side This is what gives me confidence bizarrely enough.

Genuinely can’t remember the last time I got excited about an attacking set piece, we’re absolutely shocking at them.

I would guess we’re up to well over 100+ corners/free kicks without even creating a chance.

How on earth that set piece coach is still in a job baffles me

pauliopaulio

Credit where it’s due - I was a massive skeptic but this new tournament style has really kept the interest level in the Champions League until the final game.

Watch the summary coverage on TNT 5 and was goal after goal. No last minute twist but you can’t have everything.

I genuinely don’t see what it seems like a lot of others see.

He tries flicks when no-one is there, falls over A LOT and play acts all the time when he loses the ball and just lies on the floor even when they have the ball.

Not for me so far. Hope he comes good though.
