It was crap meaningless rubbish. It was always going to be. I don't like Tuchels squads, or teams, but the real problem is the players can't motivate themselves to break sweat against Andorra. There should be preliminaries for these smaller nations. To clutter the calender with these non contests se...

Sonne stayed on the bench in Perus defeat to Uruguay, and Vitinho stayed on the bench in Brazils win.

I dare say it's the same with lottery winners as it is with footballers. Apparently about 1/3 of lottery winners don't want financial advice because they' know they have more than they can ever spend so they're just going to stick it in a bank deposit account. Others take advice and invest cautious...

I don't have a fraction of what these players had, but what savings i have are spread about. Why would anyone put all their money in one basket, or should that read basket case. It makes no sense.

Colburn_Claret

Wolves aren't going full time so they won't be promoted even if they win the league, unless they change their minds. The players didn't find out until near the end of last season so weren't happy. They had been playing to win the league thinking they would be promoted if they did win it. I wasn't a...

On paper excellent.
Definitely got the height, pace and strength right.
Fingers crossed we find a solid team amongst them, but as windows go we can't complain.

Colburn_Claret

Have things changed.
I thought it was just a loan, and that the loan window didn't close for a week after the normal window.
If it has changed we need to find him somewhere abroad.

Saudi for a year with a £20 million loan fee would be perfect

Colburn_Claret

Really sad to see him go, but it had to happen.
A great signing for us, but literally too little physically for the Premier League.
If we manage to stay up, and he has a good season, we have a saleable asset again. If we do go down, he could still do a job for us after the inevitable fire sale.

Colburn_Claret

It wouldbe a bigger risk keeping him this season, as his game time would be limited. A year in the championship and he'll get plenty of minutes, find his form, and come back the player we hoped we'd bought.
Good luck Aaron, come home fighting fit.

Colburn_Claret

Did his bit on the big stage. More intent on not getting hit/hurt than going for it. Got a very close decision against 'Enery Cooper, which Cooper did not like and finished his career. Joe B. went on to mix it with the best. Thanks Joe. Henry was robbed, they wanted the up and coming younger guy, b...

We aren't the finished article yet, the pieces might be through the door, but they've yet to be put in place.
We need to give our players some slack, and the benefit of the doubt.
We have to reduce our squad, obviously, far too heavy, but we don't want to chuck the baby out with the bath water.

Colburn_Claret

As long as Tresor is in the building, he has to be a part of the match day team. If it's only off the bench until he's got full fitness so be it, but it would be criminal not to start gaining some value for our money.
He has what we need, just doesn't look capable of a full 90 mins.

And top of the league. Early days or not.

We've already played Wolves away, who in the absence of Florist and Newcastle, will be our biggest challengers, and got a draw.
Fingers crossed this is the season we finally go up.

Colburn_Claret

As last season we have to learn to crawl before we can walk, I think SP is doing a great job. Yesterday's start had more to do with United treating it like a cup final. We settled down really well second half. I still think we won't see our 'best' side for a few weeks yet. The only criticism I'd mak...

Lesley and Dubravka apart the rest have been terrible. I do not know what Hannibal is bringing to this team. Really poor performance. Got to be looking at a couple of subs at half time Horses for courses, Hannibal is good when we are attacking, not so good when it's backs to the wall. We'd be bette...

Colburn_Claret

You have to be happy with 1-0 considering how we've played. We can only get better, they will have a job to maintain if we play with a bit more nous. I feared the worst after Grimsby, they would either lay down, unlikely, or play their socks off. I hope SP can calm us down, we've got plenty on the b...

Apologies, I should have posted my message on the Society thread, but it was going through my mind at the time of typing. I do think that a lot of today's problems within society go back to Thatcher. I also believe that people like this moron are a symptom of society's breakdown, but not the only on...

Colburn_Claret

Agree, unless we get an offer we can't refuse. It wouldn't take much of an offer to make a good profit. It would be sad to see him go, he's been an unbelievable servant for what we paid, and i still struggle to think some Stoke fans didn't rate him. Always gives 100%, and always with a smile on his...

Imagine being that sad at 60 years old. He was only 19 at the time of the miners strike, and to me if you had to go back and pin ponit a moment in time, when society started to breakdown, that would be it. Thatchers divide and conquer policies had so many knock on effects, other than breaking the u...

I rekon Worrall stays. I honestly could see Ekdal being let go if we bring in another centre back.

I don't mind Worral, he does what it says on the tin, but I'd never keep him ahead of Ekdal. If someone was to offer us a decent profit maybe.

In all my years of watching Burnley (from 1960) the only first team players who have moved directly from one to the other are

Burnley to Blackburn
Walter Joyce
Adam Blacklaw

Blackburn to Burnley
Peter Devine
Andy Todd (loan)
Jay McEveley (loan)

Did we pay a fee for Devine CT?

Colburn_Claret

It's a culmination of many things, but I'd add there is little to no reward for working hard, the minimum wage is just what it says on the tin, and very little consequences for being an idle *******. Any system like that is going to generate a selfish, couldn't care less attitude. Society starts bre...

Peter Devine definitely crossed the water, but he hardly played for Bastards, so don't know if a fee was involved?

Gut feeling was , he was out of contract, but again might be wrong.

Sky news saying this morning that Ipswich are buying a Brazillian off Norwich, the first direct transfer between the clubs for 24 years. It got me thinking of our dealings with Bastards. I know we have had many ex Bastards in the club, some very successful, but none that I can recall that came direc...

I worked in Saudi for 4 months in the early 90’s and I’d have to say that I’d rather pull my own teeth out than go back there. Hope the money makes him happy though.

Never been, but I should imagine in 30 years you'd find it unrecognisable.

Colburn_Claret

Just turned over to find Rangers are 5-0 down, and it isn't half time yet. Isn't football great.

Colburn_Claret

You know it won't last, but it's great to hear the Grimsby fans giving it to them.

GET INNNN

Colburn_Claret

The BBC doesn't say that all those clubs who failed to attain 11 points were relegated. So it's really irrelevant.

Colburn_Claret

The Tresor situation is still puzzling me. What is the endgame here? If he has trained all summer, surely we need to give him more than 15 minutes in a cup tie? It depends what the situation is, or how fragile he is. Broja obviously wasn't ready to start, needs the minutes, but shouldn't be risked ...

Colburn_Claret

A loan would be good for him, but only in the Championship, he'll learn nothing in league 1.
If we can't find him a decent club I'd rather see him on the bench. Players coming on who have real pace are always a threat.

Damn missed it.

We needed to get through, just to try and create a momentum. Lots of players, who needed it, getting a good run out. Some players showing real quality, and the return of Mike.
Has to be a good night.

That's a strong line up, I just hope they can click as a team. So many of SDs cup teams looked good on paper.....

Magic Mike on the bench, could tonight be the night we start to get the man back

I don't want to see anyone injured, but I hope he gets at least 45 mins so I can see what he looks like, and if he can play.

Colburn_Claret

Too early to judge him yet, looked quality when he first signed before the injury. The necessary loan will have helped, but it also means coming back he has to get used to a new team and manager back here. The team and players will only improve over the next few games, then we can start judging. It ...

Horses for courses, it's a squad game in the Prem, the pace is too high to go all out every game. Edwards will get plenty of game time this season.

Thought he did very well to narrow the angle from a one on one and force the striker to shoot wide in the first half

Grinds my grit that the comms were claiming he was making an error rushing out, when I thought it was brilliant. He forced the lad to shoot wide, a great piece of goalkeeping.

Colburn_Claret

I'd have taken a point, simply because I think it will take 4 or 5 games for SP to work out his best team, and another couple for them to gain that understanding.
But I'm delighted to take 3 points UTC

Colburn_Claret

The big worry for me. Wins bring confidence, confidence brings wins. Which comes first the chicken or the egg...... We often look ok, but rarely look confident at this level. The hardest job SP hasis to instil some confidence into the squad . You hope the likes of Walker and Cullen would help on the...

Mike Dean and Boyd both said a foul, both then said it was soft as muck, and if the that on the pitch hadn't ruled a foul VAR wouldn't have overturned a goal. How long do we have to put up with incompetent and biased referees. The history of this clown should go before him.
