NewClaret

My son must’ve been on the same social media mentioned. Kept ranting about Tuanzebe without being able to describe a single thing he did wrong.

Decent performance, I thought.

NewClaret

It’s certainly much quieter than it used to be on here, but what is there to talk about? We’re crap every time we go up and we’re good when we go down. Only so many ways you can say it. Think “we’re crap” is a somewhat simplistic assessment. We have a much bigger budget relative to our competition ...

On second thoughts, let’s not go to Up the Clarets! ‘Tis a silly place.

Crazy.

Find its dead at the moment generally, but when you see threads like this it reminds me why I don’t open many anymore.

NewClaret

Jesus.

Find myself visiting this site less and less and this is why.

That’s the problem with the Premier League, you play against Premier League teams every week

Rarely City, Spurs, United, and Villa (CL team last year) and Liverpool (Champions) and Forest (Europe) at home in the first eight.

Christ knows what Edwards has done to Parker over the summer.

He’s about 4ft tall, doesn’t track back and weak as feck in the tackle. No way he was ever starting in the Prem.

Parker and Premier League are not a good combination

Behave.

These fixtures have been an absolute abomination for us.

Florentino wasn’t on the pitch after being whacked in the head. Despite not needing treatment. Wouldn’t have had that space otherwise. Weird rule..

Didn’t know that. Disappointing.

I think we should be looking elsewhere before blaming Esteve for that goal, maybe the player trotting around and not helping out defensively.

Ugochukwu should’ve been on a long while ago.

Axel Tuanzebe is ******* awful.

I ******* hate this league

Will have to watch it again but struggling to see why Tuanzebe was at fault for that one.

NewClaret

Hugely important for us that Leeds & Sunderland lose today. We’ve had by far the hardest start to the season, but can’t have Sunderland and Leeds picking up points against the teams that have beating us.

Apparently went off sale at 12noon. How many were you after?

Hi Leisure, sorry for the late reply. Wasn’t sure on plans but they’re going ahead so can’t make it now. Thanks for asking.

NewClaret

Anyone know when tickets go off sale? Wasn’t able to make it but the weather might mean my other plans get called off so just wondering how long I’ve got to decide?

NewClaret

So you'd prefer it to look better but be less accessible for cyclists? I think I'd take the functionality over the appearance. In fact ideally deansgate shouldn't have any traffic on at all, it would transform Manchester for the better if could be restricted to cyclists and pedestrians. Not sure if...

NewClaret

My only issue with the town to turf scheme is the lack of bike lanes. I'm not sure why they couldn't have split the pavements into pedestrian and cyclists Got to say, and I’m no cyclist so clearly biased, but after looking at what a complete mess Deansgate looks with bike lanes, I’d rather they did...

Appalling attack. Words cannot do it justice. Anyone who has taken the X43 to Manchester will have seen the private security employed at Jewish schools and synagogues. By the sounds of it, the security here played a big role in stopping the perpetrator from entering the synagogue and far more atroc...

NewClaret

It’s absolutely shocking … It is, and I get your point, but equally towns have to undergo works like this for their betterment and long term prosperity. It’s a lot of short-term pain for hopefully decades of gain by making them much nicer places to visit and therefore operate businesses from. The D...

NewClaret

I would start with the Town to Turf project - all done, primarily, to benefit the club with public money. The delivery of which caused incredible disruption for a year and likely negatively impacted many local businesses. Absolute nonsense. It was all public realm works, which benefit the…. public,...

NewClaret

There are a number of possible explanations, ranging from those elements being considered permitted development to the club having been given positive feedback throughout pre-planning and planning process to be comfortable making a start to shorten overall timescales. Either way, great to see some a...

Can’t say I’ve watched the U21s a lot this year but the results seem like we’re struggling. I’m quite surprised with the approach taken - our best players out on loan and other than Ellis Clark, no recruitment over summer. I expected we might try to add some players off the back of PL2 promotion. I ...

Did a kompany side conceed 5 in a league game?

Remember we got smashed in the cup. Can’t remember the league games. PTSD.

NewClaret

Only thing I care about (apart from Jonjo) is that we don’t concede 5. That’d represent an improvement on the Dyche and Kompany years. Just keep it tight and respectable. Then we need to try and build a run.

NewClaret

Absolutely off the scale. I couldn’t believe what I was reading on here. Irrespective of the fact that players shouldn’t be written off after a few games, I actually thought he did okay. Some very intelligent movement, good runs, shots on target but not hit well enough. That will come with games and...

NewClaret

That is really interesting. I assume the only reason our case hasn’t settled is that they think they’ll be awarded a much lower compensation figure than we expect to be granted, so no compromise could be reached.

NewClaret

I think the LED lights look great on a night game. Or at least, they make Turf Moor look a lot better than it otherwise would. Like the “Up the Clarets!” sign in this too. Only disappointing thing is the lack of plan for the big work that’s needed - replacement of the CFS and Bob Lord - and you can ...

I watched the after match podcast with Daz Bentley as part of the panel. I thought he made a very good comment regarding the slogans around "Barnfield." He suggested a new slogan to be displayed which should read, "Hard work beats talent, when talent doesn't work hard!" It sums up last night perfec...

I would like them to replay it again as many times necessary until Ipswich win.

NewClaret

Inside Sport understands that the case is not due to conclude until mid-October, with no timeline over a subsequent verdict. Crikey. That would be some significant KC fees if the hearing is going to go on so long. Like the article above says, I’m amazed it hasn’t settled although could have done or...

I should have invited Mr Pace to leave with me and my wife from the JHL down to the turning point past the memorial garden and through the mud, deep puddles, lose flags all the way up through Holcombe drive to the tennis club, it took us a lot longer and in awful conditions. Thanks Mr Pace for all ...

Speculation is that he’s taken his own life. We placed him on gardening leave which prevented him from taking another job (presumably the Leicester one.) Very sad, RIP. Only responding here because I’m not sure that’s true. My understanding is that we refused him permission to speak to Leicester, a...

Fantastic stuff. Good luck to Justine and hope it goes some way to winning us a few more fans over the pond!

It was most likely a double scan. You hold it up, it scans it and before you realise it scans again, saying it’s already been used. They call this progress, apparently!

NewClaret

Watch him today. While the ball is in the air being switched to his man, he’s running back not looking at the ball or his man, but looking at and barking orders at the back line. Multiple times. Then, when he’s done that he turns around runs at his man and either wins the ball or they cross against ...

Need a chant for him.

If we keep singing that ****e Jeremy Corbyn one for an absolute gem of a player, it’ll drive me mad.

Absolutely agree we need a proper song for a proper player.

Somebody likened him to Kante at Leicester (then Chelski) and I can see it.

We look like finally having a decent midfield inc subs. Even JL is looking OK.

If JL could pass he’d be an excellent player.

No views at all, don’t know anything about him, but I’m more enthused now with Chris Casper in charge.

They did exist. Blondeclaret is spot on. Has someone left this role that we’re replacing, or was it one of the shared roles that now needs a specific person per Cat 1 requirements?

You’d imagine even if we win there will be a lengthy appeal. No word on a settlement yet though? I’m not sure appeals are allowed under Premier League rules for compensation (they might be, but I’ve not seen it mentioned anywhere). That was one of the reasons I expected a settlement might be more l...

No i don’t mean the words in the planning application - of course. Personally I don’t think it’s a great idea. It will inconvenience a lot more fans than those who turn up in my view.

I also heard the Talk Sport discussion. They said it's happening this week. No idea how long it takes thereafter to get a decision and if there is an appeals process.
