Kompany's team also had a naive coaching team stood on the sidelines..... we have a different coaching and leadership team this time.

I agree. I think Kompany was WAY in over his head. Parker's experience should be worth a few points (provided we don't can him by Christmas time).

Talk about glass half empty! We’re in the second week in July and we’ve made 9/10 signings including last seasons loanee signings. There’s still over 7 weeks of the transfer window left, 5 weeks until the start of the season. We’ve have a brilliant window so far with plenty of scope for more ins an...

at this point, probably easier just to list the handful of players that haven't signed with us...
I've liked the signings but we can only play 11 and will need depth: it looks like we are doing the shotgun approach. hoping that a couple of people will star, and then be sold for a huge profit.

AshevilleNCClaret

I think that Humphreys might slot into the LCB if Esteve leaves. Pires was ok but I think he would be exposed defensively in the PL.

Wouldn't Joe Worrall be next seasons Joe Worrall

Actually Joe Worral becomes the next Kevin long

when I came in march 2024, probably one of the first things I noticed was this motel and it looked terrible. The only good thing was that it was a great visual land marker in case I got lost.

AshevilleNCClaret

good thing we are coming off that boxing match against watford.... should be ready for a physical fight.

AshevilleNCClaret

I'm not superstitious, just a little stitious...
Seriously, I drink out of the same coffee mug for match days, and usually wear either my burnley t-shirt and/or sweatshirt during match day.

AshevilleNCClaret

I could see wrexham fans feeling that the essence of their club has changed since they were bought by the movie stars. I don’t think burnley will ever need to worry about that: i found the fans and town very genuine and can’t see it being spoiled .

Hi Asheville
How’s the recovery going in Asheville?
Hope everything is fine with you

Things recovering slowly… hurricane Helene hit the mountains of north Carolina pretty badly (which is unheard of)…. But things are slowly returning to normal but a long way to go for a lot of places around here.

AshevilleNCClaret

I’m from North Carolina and I started following in 2014. NBC just got the contract for the premier league and all games were shown. I had no desire to follow a bandwagon team. Had no desire to be lost in a sea of supporters. I visited burnley last year and have to say the town and club were fantasti...

Not all matches are shown each week. If they are on TV, then the majority of the matches shown are on Paramount Plus (subscription). There are some free matches each week on CBS Goalazo/CBS sports. the FA cup matches are on ESPN+ (subscription). We have had a good run of games on Paramount Plus... F...

I think Worral might be insurance in case we don’t resign cj. He’s capable and proven .

Don't think you will see a more obvious penalty.

His arms were in a natural position…. If he was wanting to grab it for a throw in. Him catching the ball really turned it into a penalty for me.

AshevilleNCClaret

Any word on brownhill? Seems awfully quiet and maybe they were telling the truth when they said he was tired and not off.

How long does it go on if all penalty takers have failed to score after 11 men in the play off final?

Should I book extra time off from work…

I think it then goes to the coaching staff, then the physio, then Phil bird , and finally Bertie bee.

Interested in young kid from Tottenham….

or couldn't we sell him to Newcastle, and then they loan him back to us for the remainder of the season?

Dyche worked wonders here on a shoe string budget. While he did have faults as a manager, he did have great success here. I feel like he's gotten the label of producing results with limited/no funds. The monies within the last few years have gotten insane, but he probably looks at burnley now and as...

Trafford was immense. Completely different keeper to the one that got barged off the ball last season against Luton. Trafford not really troubled but Blackburn was crowding him on the corners...its tough to command the box when you can't move around. Not really his fault and it certainly didn't hel...

AshevilleNCClaret

we just need to take the ball to the corner...

AshevilleNCClaret

the shirt pulling is absurd...

AshevilleNCClaret

not getting any favors from the ref.... blackburn players all suffereing from inner ear infections affecting their balance. they fall down when they aren't even touched !

just watched the last few minutes... a good first half.

Is sarmiento hurt?

Wow...Boro's finishing is trash.

guess they can only finish if they are stumbling forward... give them a clear shot on goal and its a weak shot on goal.

happy thanksgiving !
its an american tradition to completely overeat eat, watch 9 hours of american football, then wait go wait in line overnight for the black friday sales so you can get a large screen tv for 50 bucks....

The Trump transition team have already stated that Ukraine can kiss goodbye to Crimea........Trump is a big Putin admirer...he'll give him what he wants. American here… at first I thought trump would concede everything to Putin but now I’m not so sure. Not to derail this thread but trump is a grift...

I'm starting to feel like a glory hunter picking the lions as my team at the start of the season

that's an oxymoron... no one has ever equated glory hunter and the detroit lions together.

(this is coming from a cleveland browns fan, who have never had any bandwagon fans....)

this is AshevilleNCclaret... family is safe. No power or water. I am helping out at our 911 center.
family is heading east to stay with relatives.
Not gonna lie.. its bad, and asheville is just a bit in the whole area.

Well I stand corrected. I’m not well versed with streaming sports outside of the US (and it’s getting to be complicated here in the states). I’m probably going to stick with the audio…

AshevilleNCClaret

american here.. this board is usually good for posting a dodgy stream, but according to livesoccertv.com, no one is broadcasting the match so I would be shocked if one is available. I have not use clarets player and am tempted to pay the 10 bucks for it (although people have had issues with it). I b...

Are you for real ? We have rebuilt the first eleven ? Strikers were not prolific for the last 4 years

We did lose McNally up top… maybe we can get Kevin long back?

It more suggests that Berge isn't kicking up a fuss and is happy to stay.

I’m surprised that we don’t loan berge to Man U (like with weghorst).

If you're based in North America (U.S, Canada and other places) the NA Clarets on FB is a good place to keep up with things from a continental perspective. Usually, we post the schedules and best places to find the game. We also (usually) have meet ups depending on whether the World (in general, no...

We had the same fallout from 2 years ago with our last relegetion. I was not optimistic losing so many good players but no one could complain about the incoming players the following year. I see maybe a few sales (with trafford most likely gone) but we have depth in wingers and center backs so I thi...

So, in JJ’s defense, this is a nuance of English football that is new to him. NFL coaches dont move from one team to another, they are fired (and most of the time it is no surprise to anyone).

Cleveland sounds better >> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZzgAjjuqZM I'm actually from Cleveland (which would have been awesome to have Burnley paired with Visit Cleveland tourism board), and the scenes from Cleveland would parallel anything in Detroit. The partnership is fine. While certainly no...

So you seriously think that Kompany would rather spend another season in the Championship with Burnley than a season managing Bayern Munich and playing Champions League football? Supposing Kompany stays on and we didn’t get promoted automatically next time. He would be viewed as a one trick pony wh...

They could easily find a seasoned manager to be that stop gap. kompany is 38 and has years of managing ahead of him. One year at Bayern, and then where?

AshevilleNCClaret

bayern finished 18 points off of first. They will not want a stop-gap manager, nor will they give someone time to assemble their squad or develop their style of play. Kompany is not the answer but if they thrown an obscene amount of money at us, he'll leave.

AshevilleNCClaret

I find this thread fascinating. American sports teams just don't have this kind of worry: teams are guaranteed income, don't have to worry about relegation, usually getting public funding for stadiums, and if things go sour, frequently up and move the franchise to another city, who sweeten the deal ...

AshevilleNCClaret

hmmm.. surprised troussard was still on this fee when he scored that goal... probably got confused with all the flopping he's done.

AshevilleNCClaret

It’s been a tad lackluster so far…. Even the commercials seem a bit bland but hopefully 2nd half will get more exciting. I thought it would be much more higher scoring

AshevilleNCClaret

I like amoudini. Hes scored a few goals and his work rate is top notch.. Ramsey looks like he is going at 3/4 effort and isn’t in the game.

Texans hanging in there.... (as they just missed a FG...)
The NFL is about parity, and its amazing the lengths they go to to ensure that (hard salary cap, draft picks, easier schedules for teams). . Even the worst run organizations can still make a playoff appearance.

Berge hurt? Beyer hurt? playing 3 in the back? Weird no true left back.
