Just got 2 tickets for day 2 at Melbourne and 1 for day 3 for £81.50. Compare and contrast with the prices being charged at our home tests.

Thanks, we are down in Las Galletas, the only football I’ve seen so far was Athletico Madrid on Monday night. Might have a walk down to Costa del Silencio , don’t hold much hope. If you catch the bus to Los Cristianos, there’s an Irish bar called Funk Rooney’s which shows the Burnley games. It’s on...

Good header though.

It wasn’t a header. He completely mis-timed it and face/shouldered it in.

And the quote from Sir Bobby Robson at is a club in any case? Not the buildings or the directors or the people who are paid to represent it. It’s not the television contracts, get-out clauses, marketing departments or executive boxes. It’s the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride...

Fair assessment of what is essentially an entertainment business.

It’s not an entertainment business, it’s professional sport, which is essentially, a winning business. We go to watch and support our team do well. If you want guaranteed entertainment, go to the cinema.

Seems a great lad and is a good player too. His attitude is spot on and seems to reflect the whole group.

Up with?

He didn’t inherit a team with parachute payments did he?

Moyes or Dyche? It’s not even a fair question as Moyes is far superior in every department.

I can’t remember how Dyche had parachute payments in 2013/14? Can you enlighten me?

I really liked him, but RB is the least of our worries atm.

Any player who behaves like he did at Tottenham would be a retrograde step for us.

He's 25

So he is. The rest of my post stands.

He’s 21. Cut the lad a bit of slack. Yes he had a mare on Tuesday but his previous performances have been good. Maybe try getting behind him rather than slaughtering him.

Are you serious?

He can’t be. Threads about replacing the Manager when we are third in the league or when we hypothetically get promoted are so far removed from reality it’s untrue. Modern day football fans eh?

I suppose it sums up this match that our MOM was our right back in a home match against a team second bottom who didn't record a shot on target all the game.

Our right back who played almost the entire game in midfield. The modern term is inverted full back.

Staniola

I booed today because it was as bad as anything I've witnessed in nearly 40 years. I don't boo often, not since the Cotterill days actually, but that was absolutely unforgivable today. Nil nil versus the worst team in the league, and their keeper didn't have a proper save to make. Forget possession...

Yeah he did when he passed backwards near the end.

When he had no other option.

Anyone remember the train station right behind the longside stand at the ground? It was quite a trek from the main station.

Staniola

My brother reminded me of the performance of the police that day. Nowhere to be seen pre match. Half a dozen making half hearted attempts to stop the near riot once we were surrounded and nowhere again on the mile or so back to the station. The only time they tried to do anything was stood at the fr...

Staniola

Me and my brother, aged 16 and 14 were in the Kop that day. We got to the ground to find no police or stewards so we just paid in. The talk on the train over was of “taking” their end, but when we got on the terraces and saw the size of it, we knew we’d no chance. It was massive and when the locals ...

The roads and pavements look fine now they’re finished, but can anyone explain why they’ve made Plumbe Street from the Vintage Claret to the Oxford one way. It means that to access the Fulledge and Burnley Wood areas, you either have to go round to Tod Road and back down Temple Street or Parliament ...

The game moves on quickly. He's out of touch. Went to Belgium and failed there. A starter for 10. How do you work out that “he’s out of touch “? As per Brazilian’s reply? His Championship record is better than all the other runners. If he is appointed, perhaps we should cut him some slack and see h...

5 weeks to appoint that guy is just bizarre...and completely wrong.

Can you let us all know why you think that this appointment is bizarre, disastrous and completely wrong. Maybe you could give some evidence on which you have based your opinion?

No one uses Brunshaw Road much these days due to the chaos on Yorkshire Street. It’s only been a year though

Spurs fans will not want to help Arsenal to win the title, but they won’t be cheering for City - they support Spurs. They may laugh and taunt Arsenal if they go 2 - 0 down, but that’s it. The players, however, will be going full out to win. They are professional athletes and that’s how they are prog...

Is this phrase from Dyche? Your local wording or have you just missed a word out?

Burnley slang would be 'on't Turf', shortening 'the'

'At Turf Moor' or 'at the Turf' would be the queen's English.

Wouldn’t the Burnley slang be “on t’Turf” with the apostrophe substituting for the missing “he” ?

Postecoglu is already becoming noticeably less chirpy … he barely made eye contact in a post match interview I saw the other day. That’s just the way he speaks. He has never made eye contact with the interviewer or the camera from day one. He does speak very openly and honestly. Much better than mo...

The vast majority of fans are in favour of VAR? I know a lot of football fans and not one of them is in favour of it. They are probably using votes from armchair fans, you know, the ones who really matter

He’s not even a Burnley fan it’s well known he supports Arsenal, recently started ‘pretending’ he’s a fan since we have been on the big stage.

Why rename the main road to the Turf after a cricketer?

Turf Moor is a Cricket Ground and a Football Ground. It was a cricket ground long before the football club moved there. It was the place where the town’s greatest sportsman started his career.

I find Arsenal to be the worst of everything I hate about modern football. Constantly diving. Entitled fans. Arteta is never in his technical area and constantly moaning.

Good side but I have enjoyed watching them bottle it for a few years.

Absolutely this.

Where Were We're Wear Wore War

All pronounced Wor in Lancashire

Maybe in the rest of Lancashire, but I’ve never heard anyone from Burnley pronounce any of the above “wor” apart from wore and war.

We’ve had a tough start. We need to back the manager and the team. We don’t need fans chucking their toys out of the pram and leaving with 15 minutes to go. The very last thing we need is a drum.

Correct, they aren’t interested in the bigger picture, just the headline.

If this is how UEFA want their second showpiece final to be portrayed, football is done. The players and the managers from both clubs were an absolute disgrace.

I’ve just been in to pick mine up and they’ve got them. They haven’t been sorted though so won’t be ready until Monday. They said that City had delivered them two days late.

I thought it was a definite penalty at the time, but having seen it replayed, just watch Ince throw his left leg into Maatsen as he makes the (rash) challenge. We were lucky the ref didn’t give it, but he was awful all afternoon. Reading were horrible and got exactly what they deserved.

Staniola

If you believe social media, numerous moans and groans at the match. Some weird cheering thing went on when Taylor passed to Maatsen as well The cheering when Taylor passed to Maatsen was because the crowd felt that there were several opportunities to do so earlier in the possession. It’s easy to s...

It seems to me that the very same people who moaned incessantly about “Dycheball” are now slaughtering Kompany’s style. Unfortunately, this is not unbelievable.

I was a ball boy in the 1960’s and we were coached to return the ball quickly if we were losing and take our time if we were winning. This entailed concentration and a knowledge of the game situation. If you weren’t up to this, you were dropped. The ball boys over the past few years haven’t been up ...

The three part series was a documentary, narrated by the author, as you say and it’s a few years ago. What I was referring to is a new dramatisation due in the autumn. FWIW I think Mayne did the right thing in a war situation. These blokes weren’t playing games and neither were the enemy.

SAS Rogue Heroes is one of the best books I’ve ever read. If you didn’t know it was true, you wouldn’t believe it. I think the BBC have dramatised it and will be shown in the autumn.

Dyche done a job for us. He had a method which he would/could not deviate from. We were never going anywhere with Dyche apart from a slow slide back to where we came from.
