Didn't Phil Bird drop himself in it with a question he asked soon after been given the role. He was doing a lot of interviews at one time and then seemed to be quickly removed after a bit of controversy. It is a shame people can catch flack for asking the questions they're told to ask. Hopefully th...

I think this is the first properly professional interviewer the clubs had since I started watching in 2003. Only taken them 22 years to find someone good.

Probably the most boring voice I've ever heard.

The power of light.

The new monstrosity of a monochrome badge is the correct colour, pretty much the only thing that is right about it though.

Purple. Won’t be buying another shirt again until it’s claret.
Are the club trying to push this colour until it becomes the accepted norm?

It’s claret, it’s the same colour we’ve used for 20+ years on all printed materials

Apparently he carries a 25 handicap. Members tees are 1100 yards shorter than back tees, shooting 103 is brilliant considering the greens wouldn't be too much slower than Sunday.

Interestingly, I was talking to someone about this at the club today. They've gone for a new LED flag that can programmable, similar to the LED boards.

It wouldn't cost too much to have a Bluetooth transmitter which would allow hearing aid wearers to connect directly.

What I’d be interested to know is how this new group fits in compared to say the Clarets Trust? Also applaud these types of efforts but I’d hate to see fan opinion diluted by conflicting groups, aims and opinions all fighting for the same airtime.

KSR is right doesn’t really matter if they lose games because atm Sheffield are likely to win more of the next 12 games than us.

However I am feeling a lot more confident now Edwards is in the side and few of the lads are back from injury.

Also more likely to lose more than us.

The meals on transatlantics (American, BA, Aer Lingus, makes no difference) are appalling. They'd be better off getting a load of meal deals from Tesco and giving up the hot food.

They're alright normally in PE and business.

Great industry, "We've got new planes that are 25% more efficient and are going to save us a fortune........oh and by the way we are doubling your airfare"

If we see £50m for the 3 then that seems ok - unless a club is desperate for one of them.

That would be very poor business.

The only saving grace I suppose and I get this may only be prelonging the inevitable is that the club continue to employ pretty clueless people in positions of responsibility. Not sure if this is because they are trying to do this on the cheap or whether it’s the blind leading the blind or in the c...

Parker should pay with his job if he fails to get this squad up. This negative dogger that’s being served up week after week is inexcusable.

Foster alone had 2 chances I’d expect most of a reasonable age and fitness to score after 4 pints. You can’t blame Parker for that.

deanothedino

It’s not about not conceding, it’s about Parker actually going for it. 93rd minute today we had 6 players in our own half with Esteve and Egan Riley passing to each other 5 times in 20 seconds. It’s about system, Leeds would have had 8 players in the opposition half with probably 4 of them in the o...

Roberts certainly hasn't been at his best recently. I was sure he must be going in the window, but I was wrong with that one.

One of the first positions to strengthen if we do get promoted. We already know Roberts isn’t PL quality.

It's not just a Burnley problem.
A couple of Stoke fans I've known for many years have stopped going to away games because of 'coked-up' younger supporters sitting where they want and constantly standing up.

Which is it? Are they constantly standing or sitting where they want?!

As has also been said on this thread, the process to change the badge only involves "material changes". Changing to monochrome could be seen as not being material. Very subtle changes such as minor font/sizing or shades do not count. Admittedly, from full colour to monochrome is stretching this, bu...

I know what happened. It's ridiculous. Global recognition? We had one season and were relegated. I doubt anyone knew who we were! It should have been for one season and one season only. But was still more recognition outside of the UK than we’d had before. Rightly or wrongly that’s what was decided.

Your point sort of ties in to my other one, which is that if our model is to buy young players, develop them and sell them, we at some point have to take the next step of holding out for a really big fee like Bournemouth did with Solanke or Southampton did to an extent with VVD. It’s clear Esteve n...
