Esteve is starting to worry me. He’s been ok that last 6-7 games but last 2 he’s been really poor imo. I think teams have figured out if you press him he doesn’t have the same ability as ER to pass it out Do you go to work and excel every day? I love the way some fans expect footballers to be on to...

Mogan in Gran Can is a good shout……..nice port side restaurants and if you fancy a trip the buses are cheap and regularly run to other resorts ………

Stayed in the Cordial Mogan a couple of years ago. Thought it was fabulous.

If you watch all games in the top 4 Divisions, shirt pulling and hard tackling goes on all the time. As someone said it is a contact sport. Back in the Day players like Andy Lochhead Brian O’ Neill Dave MacKay ( all fabulous players) would have had red cards every other game I don’t mind hard tackl...

Do you (or anyone) know who our "club-developed" players are?
I haven't an inkling, meself

Koleosho would be a club developed player. They just have to be at the club for a year before they turn 20

Stats show he will get you 10+ goals a season to be fair and he’s a focal point to play up to and get runners off him or hold it up to bring others into play, a bit like Steven Thompson in coyles championship team, not the most prolific but a key part.

Not league goals.

I wish our other forwards were 1 in 5 players!

I was told we were in for Adebayo in the summer so that wouldn’t surprise me. Although we were definitely in for Whittaker too and don’t think we made much effort there so maybe we’ve changed targets. For me he’d be a good signing: - He’s just turned 27, so coming in to his prime but would likely h...

roperclaret

Make an open offer to Luton for Morris/Adebayo. They clearly want Kone so should be willing to let one go. We’ve freed up a squad place in Jay and are still 1 striker worse off than the start of Jan. I can’t see them being on mega money at Luton. Both managed double figures in PL so it’s not untest...

Why?
Because I dislike our manager?

I think the resentment I receive for having an opinion is considerably more weird. But hey ho.

It’s ok to have your opinion. The resentment comes from the fact that you go on and on and on and on about it like an Irish fishwife

roperclaret

Did you enjoy that? This is an entertainment business. Imagine this football in the Premier League, I'm terrified by that thought Since when has it been an entertainment business? You’ve clearly bought into the Sky razzle dazzle. It’s should be about supporting the team you support through thick an...

roperclaret

weird one, he's out of the way for the header but the keeper has to push Silva out of the way. VAR should have showed him that part of the play too and didn't. He 100% interfered with the keeper as the cross came in but not at the point of the header. I think it should have been ruled out Not for m...

I don’t like Arsenal. But come on, that is not a red card! Never a CLEAR goal scoring opportunity.
But when you’ve got Rob Jones & Jarod Gillet ref & VAR. the outcome will never be right.

Actually I don’t mind that one. It’s lazy defending and blatant cheating hanging on to someone’s shirt

roperclaret

Had it in for him? Seriously? I just don't think he's on the level the rest of the squad is and it nearly cost us today. We have a solid team which is protecting him, similar to when we had Kevin Long filling in in the Premier League. He is improving all the time. At 21 Tarkowski was still kicking ...

roperclaret

It's quite ironic that I get accused of being negative by certain posters as they weirdly pick up on the one poor mark I gave, whilst simultaneously ignoring the really good marks I gave to players such as Humphrey and Laurent. Just admit it you’ve had it in for Egan Riley since his first game for ...

roperclaret

Yes. Gave a pass really short to Roberts early on. Was at fault for their big set piece chance where he just didn't drop for some reason and left them with a free header that they should have scored. And gave away another couple of dreadful passes that could have been punished. If we concede 2 from...

roperclaret

We need to keep all pressure off him, he doesn't look the confident type so if he's thrown in for long then he could just drown. Short introductions from the bench are the way to go until he starts to make an impact from there. He needs to earn a start, until then we should always start more experi...

We are 4th. 2 points off top after 7 games

We could be 3 points clear at the top and they would still find something to moan about

Great point away from home. Dominated the game against a team who sat back all game after winning first 3 home games. We had chances to win it. What’s wrong with people

Usual suspects that lose their **** every time we don’t win a game

I think Newclaret and Goliath should be in charge.

roperclaret

Murger is right, the strikers we currently have aren't good enough. Foster has his problems, possibly wanted to leave, and has an extremely poor record. Jay is just too old to be doing it week in week out, as good as he once was. Hountondji is way off the standard at the moment, it's wishful thinki...

roperclaret

He is weak defensively and has never been a top defender but I'm pretty sure I didn't use the term devastatingly weak. Being an international for Wales isn't the same as being an England international..He also wanted to leave the club and sign for Leeds a few months ago and spent most of his time h...

roperclaret

Some players aren't good enough, don't care about the club and haven't given us years of service. Jay Rod is the opposite of that and deserves a bit more respect than is shown to him. If you think it's fair to bundle him in with the likes of Vitinho, who is pretty much the only one I criticise cons...

It's being going on for 3 years at least. It's beyond disrespectful.

Yet you’re happy to slag off other players as not good enough. Take a look in the mirror

I wasn’t aware that Wout had been abused. The reception he received when he came on at Luton was the exact opposite. But I think she is very badly advised to post that. I don’t think she’s aiming it at proper supporters Tony, more at the horrible comments some post on Instagram and Twitter (and a c...

As it stands right now, of all the players that have moved on, there’s really only 4?that I’m bothered about - Muric, O’Shea, Berge and Odobert. The first 2 have been replaced, only time will tell if the new guys will be as good, and we are led to believe the other 2 will be replaced today/tomorrow....

I have a mate who’s wife had an affair, so he gave her an ultimatum. She left. Within 6 weeks, every trace of her was removed from the house (even though they had 2 kids). I think Alan is purging VK from Burnley. At least he’s making money doing it

roperclaret

Most of "other creditors" is believed to be income for 2023-24 received in advance before the end of July 2023. It's fair to include it in net creditors, at least, because if we hadn't got it the £20m bank balance would have been a long way overdrawn. So if we ignore the cash in bank it’s actually ...

And we went straight back up after all the Dyche relegations once under Kompany If we don’t go up now then we go into financial meltdown The way we turned out on Saturday doesn’t get us back up I understand that And I say it again We have made money on player sales Simple buying and selling Besides...

For the record with the £230m, it comes from the club accounts. Bank loans £70m Factored loans £31m Amounts owed to other clubs £66m Other creditors £63m Total £232m. This is fact, as per the club accounts July 2023, so no need for argument about it. From that we can deduct cash at bank £20m and £4...

If, by some minor miracle, we do get promoted again this season, what the hell are we going to do when we’re tasked with an even bigger rebuild?

The squad as it stands wouldn’t get a single point in the Premier League.

Ipswich have spent €115 million so far and they might not get a point either

And have a team out like that and that BENCH at Sunderland I find it remarkable that some fans really don’t understand the vast sums involved in even trying to compete in the Premier league. We have just sold 2 players who are definitely unproven at the level for over £25 million each. Ever since w...

When the club was sold to Pace and co I was concerned that they might be asset strippers.
It seems I was correct.

If you’re asset stripping you don’t buy said assets first before you sell them

He wouldn't leave Burnley for Saudi for a pay cut. That is less than £25k per week.

I could’ve misread- I had it as his monthly wage ( maybe got carried away with Ronaldo earning £173 million per year)
