There is plenty of incriminating factors , if it was just one word against another or photos of him plunging his teeth into his victim, it would have been dealt with already. It doesnt have to be proven , it’s about the balance of probabilities and the outcome will depend on how the FA come to a de...

Are you not in the realms of fantasy thinking there is no evidence when you have no idea what evidence there is? No not really I was on about fans assuming guilt or innocence with no evidence other than what is available to us at the minute. I never actually said there was no evidence as you are co...

Time to bin this post it's getting into the realms of fantasy expecting solutions from the FA. The realms of fantasy in this issue are reserved for the people on the Preston side who have assumed innocence and the ones who have assumed guilty on the Burnley side without any evidence to support eith...

I would hope as a club we questioned the sanity of his national team selecting him at this stage or maybe we saw it as a step in his return to fitness. I would imagine that him being taken off at half time in a friendly was part of the conversation we had with them and him. Nothing to be concerned a...

I think this is a good move for him and us however a little surprised that it's the full season.
Do we know if there's a recall option?

He can be recalled in Jan if needed no need for a recal option not even sure there is such a thing anymore.

Isn’t Mike expected to go there or is that just hearsay.

It was mentioned by Matt Scrafton (I think) that Mike would
Not be following Koleosho to Espanol

JarrowClaret

I don't expect to see him again. He signed a 4 year deal with us and if he goes out on loan this season he'll have been here for 3 of them without barely kicking a ball. Even if he does well he'll be coming back with less than 12 months on his contract. I'd rather see the lad leave permanently to b...

JarrowClaret

I think it's simply he's not in favour. He's probably our 6th choice winger after Anthony, Edwards, JBL, Tchaouna and Koleosho. Game time will be very limited even if he is fully fit I imagine Don’t think today suits him if honest no idea how fit he is and where we are in terms of transfers but I s...

So we are starting the season with a weaker side than last season. Who would have imagined Laurent, Sonne, Foster and Ekdal would start the season when we were celebrating promotion?? I ‘m a bit surprised about sonne if honest, but clearly Conor isn’t ready the others are not a shock too me, I woul...

I was chatting with a Preston fan about this and whilst he agreed Osmajic was a thug he also stated that Hannibal was known for claiming this sort of thing. I wasn’t aware of any previous claims. Probably because there aren’t any claims out there certainly I’m not aware of any. Anyway it is irrelev...

JarrowClaret

No he wouldn’t. He was behind Worrall, did Ekdal play a single game for us last season? He’s a 27 year old centre half who wasn’t deemed good enough last season and loaned out to a poor Dutch side, has also looked out of his depth in the PL last time. Now because he hasn’t played for us in ages he’...

JarrowClaret

I have no evidence, but there is something weird about VK using MT so little in the PL season and never in a league game since, notwithstanding his injuries/ illness. One more PL game might mean a significant fee increase. That was when he was on loan not sure there is any link now to what happened...

JarrowClaret

If he does get on the pitch, what if anything extra will it cost us for his transfer? Why would it cost extra other than in a performance type bonus to him? No idea of the deal but it was clearly agreed as part of his loan so not sure you would also have add ons for certain amount of games etc and ...

We'll see how the impasse is concluded.

Yes let’s see, what Newcastle don’t want is a player going through the motions for 6/12 months causing a toxic atmosphere. all football fans are fickle so if he starts scoring assuming he stays that is then the Newcastle fans will get behind him again.

JarrowClaret

I wouldn't say that. Newcastle haven't backed down by accepting Liverpool's opening offer newcastle from the start I've steadfastly kept their valuation (high or low that's debatable). Newcastle are well within their rights to value their players however they wish & if that's perceived as behaving ...

JarrowClaret

Not necessarily. The owners are oil rich and can afford to park him. Their problem is needing cash to be psr compliant. It is odd when they took over there was a lot of noise about what they are going to do and theee was lots of noise last season about the new stadium etc. this season it has gone v...

JarrowClaret

The problem here is Newcastle have behaved as if they are 1 of the really big clubs and right or wrong we all know how much power players have now. as soon as it was clear he wanted off and they weren’t going to sell it was only going 1 way and Newcastle would be the losers.

How long did it take for Jay Rod’s case to get resolved when he was accused?

Jay Rods case was about the meaning of what was said not necessarily what was said, I don’t think there was ever a question about what Jay said.

Just read this on an online 'sports news' page. This has to be the worst piece of 'journalism' I have ever read.

Plus the add ons.. If there are additional add ons he normally says so clearly a typo.

I think pre signing these three potential signings I think 20th is a fair assessment, but these three signings significantly strengthen our starting eleven and give us a real chance of 17th Not sure 20th is a fare assessment I think it feeds into a bit of lazy reviewing based on the fact that we ha...

We were well behind even with other teams getting a points deduction. No team has ever survived with 24 points. I think 35/36 point is what is required (if you exclude points deductions) and we were absolutely nowhere near that many points. If you go back to 2016/17 17 out of 27 teams were relegate...

Only surprising thing about this is that anyone still reads the guardian :lol: With 8/9 of the prior promoted clubs relegated over the last three seasons, no pundit or super computer will ever give us a chance. 8/9 is incorrect I think more like 6/9 isn’t it? I do think that this impossible mission...

JarrowClaret

It's not hard to see why is it? I think last season's PL teams have better squads than us and the promoted teams have recruited better so far. Obviously wouldn't want us to finish bottom or be relegated but think we would need a combination of us overperforming and for some teams to massively under...

Thought he was a bit better than Stanley.....think he'll do very well.

Wouldn’t surprise me if he was recalled in Jan and sent back out again at a higher level, very good start point for him though.

JarrowClaret

3 seasons ago all 3 stopped up can’t say apart from Forrest if any brought in lots of new players or had lots of luck. For me luck come into it of course for example a favourable start, catching big teams after a European game etc. fir me though the main criteria is sensible recruitment (not necessa...

JarrowClaret

What ****** us last time, or certainly played it's part, is that there was "no room for sentiment". The lot that got us up were either not signed or cast aside and we were starting PL matches with at points less than half the team that got us up. We do have to iterate, and we do have to sign better...

JarrowClaret

That’s kind of my point. He’s a really good player for us, but I don’t think at this level he should be a certain starter. He is 1 of our best players, does all the dirty stuff that nobody notices and tends to dictate our play. Whether he is good enough or not, I suspect with the right people next ...

The thing that concerns me, is Cullen seems a dead cert starter for us.

I really rate him but at this level I don’t think he should be a certain starter.

I would like to think we sign 2 CMs with Cullen fighting for a spot

Surely our captain would be expected to start when he is available!

JarrowClaret

Leading the race atm, and trying to sign him. My point was they are still spending on quality additions. I found this table interesting. They consider Isidor their third string Striker, and he is better than anything we have: https://x.com/rwmdawson/status/1950496597768335373?s=46&t=wEPWrFGGTbcMO7e...

They have been down that road before, paying people like Jack Rodwell prem wages in League 1

JarrowClaret

If I was a Sunderland fan I would be a little bit excited,but with a large dose of concern they are paying over the top prices for albeit seemingly decent players but the majority are untried over here it could go great but it could be an absolute disaster

JarrowClaret

Sunderland and Leeds look more Premier League ready than we do, in my opinion, for the moment. They’ve clearly got way ahead of us in terms of midfield strength and it’s easier to see where their goals are coming from. Our huge advantage of that record-breaking defence has been set back by the loss...

JarrowClaret

I'd say he knew exactly what he was doing there. That’s fine and you could be correct, nobody has any idea other than Osmajic it’s purely guess work and that isn’t enough to find him guilty. You know as well as me that the vast majority of Burnley fans saying he is racist, if the shoe was on the ot...

Not an accident, putting his head down behind Hannibal's hair, was it? I said as he did it something very wrong about that. I would doubt he noted the position of the cameras and knew there field of view but he could have I guess, for me if you wanted to disguise what you said you would simply cove...

A tremendous all round cricketer. If he stays fit he should eclipse Tendulkar's all time record in the next couple of years. He is 2512 runs short of that record. Will take more than 2 years batting for England although as a test batsman from 2012-now it looks like an average of over 1000 runs per ...

If you were a betting man, would you put money on him saying “bad”? I know I wouldn’t.

I get all that. But in pure footballing terms there's nothing unique in portugal that gawthorpe doesn't offer that's the point I was driving at.
