Thanks for another excellent report. I've come to the conclusion that its almost impossible to referee a match at some of these global super powers. I'm convinced Barrott was reluctant to give that late penalty when he went to the screen, but the shear pressure he was under from the United fans sway...

Dubravka 9-Basically kept us in the game Walker 5-I would have expected more leadership from someone of his stature, Ekdal 5-Sorry but he was clearly at fault for there second and I wouldn't be surprised to see a RCB brought in. Esteve 6-Not one of his best Hartman 5-Where was he is the 1st half. Ne...

I could see SP was deep in though behind the players when they came over at full time. He was clearly frustrated and I would think trying to gather his thoughts and his impeccable composure. At his post match presser he spoke with such eloquence to describe modern football. He was absolutely bang on...

Very impressed when he can on. Surreal first touch and I for one would like to see him get more minutes for us with the first team.

I know it's all about opinion but if we've let him go I think it's a diabolical decision. I know he's not been the same since his injury but sometimes it takes players longer to adjust. I'm sure there's a top player there if nurtured.

Don't think it's been mentioned on the board but former Australia captain and former Lancashire coach Bob Simpson has also recently passed away. Remember my dad taking me to see Bob Simpson play for Accrington against East Lancs back in the day. Its hard to imagine nowadays but there was a massive ...

More very sad news. Ken Shuttleworth was a very under-rated player and as others have said formed a formidable partnership with Peter Lever in the late '60's, ably supported by David Hughes and Flat Jack Simmons. RIP.

Not wishing to open an old chestnut but for me the only way to improve the atmosphere is for home fans to be allocated the whole of the CFS. What a potential advantage thats slipped through our fingers for far too long imo.

ashtonlongsider

Please no. He's a grafter and wholehearted but not sure he's at the level we need.

Charter Walk needs rebuilding, maybe the plan is to move us to the town centre, then we’ll show ‘em :D How come you went if you don’t mind me asking? Did you go in Burnley gear? Just curious if fans recognised the shirts, etc. I’ll tell you my take away from last night was how relatively easily Pac...

My son and grandchild ( both long standing Burnley ST holders) went to the Espanyol-Athletico match last night. He went with a pre conceived idea that Espanyol were a bit of a second rate club living in the Giants shadow. His opinion was totally different this morning. He said the ground is very tid...

I'd like the panel to each offer their predicted your starting 11 for Tottenham. After what appears to be our best window for a long while, I'm just more than a little concerned that our team might be a little lightweight given the injuries and lack of pre season for some of our new recruits.

ashtonlongsider

I've have two concerns. First is the size of the squad. From the outside looking in, it looks vastly bloated and i'd imagine very difficult to manage. It was the same in the last PL campaign and although I feel the board have learnt a lot of lessons, this is one I'm not sure about. The other concern...

I've no doubt JB's has had a dilemma. I think his heart was saying us, but his head was swaying him to broaden his horizons. That's why it's taken so long. That said, it's 3 months now and he needs to be making a decision. After all pre season is a key element and if he's to sign for a club in Engla...

ashtonlongsider

Always got the feeling he was just passing through. Obviously a very talented goalkeeper but I think it’s a very good deal for us.

ashtonlongsider

I can't for the life of me understand why the club didn't take their full allocation. Wish someone from within would communicate the thought process. I could have got one for myself but not my wife as she only had 1950 points. Very disappointing and I hope some of these being sold at highly inflated...

ashtonlongsider

Having watched the Clarets for many years i've seen great, great players come and go. I eventually came to accept this as part and parcel of football and especially supporting a club of our status. However I find JB's departure very disappointing. To me he represented what Burnley is all about. I ho...

Really sad to hear this news. Another boyhood hero gone. Willie our greatest goalscorer whose goals were achieved in a very short period of time and whose career was cruelly derailed far too soon. Condolences to his family and friends. RIP Willie and thanks for a lifetime of memories.

It will be a shame if Pant is out for the rest of the series, he's Box Office.

Wrexham 2-6 Burnley Oct 1991. Start of the renaissance.

One of SD's best signings and a top bloke as well. Glad he's doing well in the States.

Can't say i'm into tattoos, but if I was, i'd certainly have 'Wednesday 22nd January 2020' somewhere prominent. We'd been knocking at the door for a couple of seasons and finally we did it. To see us beat MU at OT was a lifelong dream that became a reality on that cold winters night.

Really sad to hear this news. First saw The Strawbs in 1970 when Dave Cousins introduced a keyboard player into the band. Wakeman would in the short time he was in the band help change the direction they were heading from folk to prog. Whatever format, they were a great under rated band and Dave Cou...

Strange and underwhelming signing imo.

ashtonlongsider

It's hard to look past Harry Potts as he managed our greatest side. However I thought Jimmy Adamson as a coach, was ahead of the game. He was very creative and transformed the way we played with his thinking in the early seventies.

Not far from Northampton, he'll be able to get the bus to work.

Think he lives in Nottingham these days.

My mind always goes back to that team in the 1970s with Keith Newton, Geoff Nulty and Martin Dobson having all arrived for nothing having been dumped by Stoke, Bolton and Everton. And that team included Alan Stevenson, Colin Waldron, Frank Casper and Paul Fletcher who all came in for good fees and ...

ashtonlongsider

Can't argue with Dobo and Peter Noble but Keith Newton must surely be in the conversation.

ashtonlongsider

I doubt we would have got over the line automatically if we hadn't signed him. At the reported £8m it's a no brainer and a good piece of business but I would be surprised if he's a regular starter in the PL.

ashtonlongsider

Given the situation I thought Wilder was magnanimous in the way he handled himself. He was also very generous towards us after we beat them to gain automatic. I can't understand why some people have a disapproving attitude towards him. My thoughts are also very much with the Sheffield United communi...

I must be in the minority as I enjoyed. Maybe I've become accustomed over the last decade and I can guarantee next season will be very similar from our perspective. Game very strategic and I thought Ange got his tactics spot on given the list of injuries to key players he has.

ashtonlongsider

Excellent news to have this confirmed. I only hope the fan base are patient with him and remember he is a player of enormous potential but untested at PL level.

Travis Street M1 2PG just off St Andrew's Square. Best kept secret (until now). Just behind Piccadilly Station and a 20 minute walk down to the Coop or you can take the tram from Piccadilly. Was there on Saturday night to see Springsteen and £5 for up to 9 hours.

Tarks is the best defender i've ever seen play for us. Like others, i'am astounded he hasn't played more games for England.

ashtonlongsider

Congratulations Sir Jimmy and in the scheme of things very well deserved. Lets hope it's not long before the same honour is bestowed on Kevin Sinfield.

Only time will tell whether it was a point gained or two lost. One think for certain is that we looked weary and that concerns me.

A record released on 12/5/67 Procol Harum-A whiter Shade of Pale not only remains my fav record of the '60's but also of all time.

Is it by any chance Steve Davis Mk1?

ashtonlongsider

Really sad news, heartfelt condolences to all his family and friends. 'One of our own' Andy Wharton RIP.

ashtonlongsider

Hard to guess positions as its all subjective. For me Esteve is our most important player so imo he'd be highest, closely followed by Trafford and take your pick with Brownhill and Cullen.

My all time favourite cover is Joe Cocker and the Grease Band's-With a little help from my friends. Something a little more modern I'd say Ellie Goulding's version of the Waterboy's -How Long Will I Love You, is perfect.

FW was one of the great entertainers. His goal for Bolton against Ipswich at Burnden remains one of my favourite goals.

<t>I think DB is an excellent player. I watched him on occasion with Wigan and thought he maybe a good fit for us. I think he's earned his belated chance on merit. He's adaptable, can play LCB in a 3 or 4 and can play LB a problem area for England. On top of that he'll roll his sleeves up, is a lead...

We always park on Travis Street(M1 2PG) car park. Near Piccadilly Station and a 20 minute walk along the Etihad walk route. Route well marshalled and car park cheap.

I personally think the vocal content coming from the CFS is excellent most of the time, and is generally good brilliant from home. So a thumbs up for that. I know its a 'no,no but it's always been a personal gripe of mine that we don't have the whole CFS. I think it would go a long way to solving th...
