True but they are wrong to think that though

Most posters have scored higher than you, it’s all about opinions which people are allowed.

True but I'm allowed to think they are wrong BV.

CalamityClaret

These scores are mental. We were awful

CalamityClaret

Dubravka 9
Walker 5
Ekdal 4
Esteve 4
Hartman 3
Cullen 5
Hannibal 3
Anthony 3
Foster 7
Ugo 6
JBL 5 one for the cross

CalamityClaret

100% pen. We were awful. Absolutely stunk the place out. These things happen though.

A reality check
This is the Premier League and we are going to be backs against the wall in just about every game
With not much on the bench to offer anything different

We aren't even competing though. Everyone is aware this was a big ask but that half was pathetic

CalamityClaret

We're so far away from them it's horrible to see. So disappointing. The time and space they have combined with our dallying on the ball and lack of options is shocking. As for our defence, just awful

CalamityClaret

Hartman is a real worry when isolated but we 2nd best everywhere. Tough watch and so disappointing

CalamityClaret

I don't really care about how we played tbh. Just great to see some of them able to play again

CalamityClaret

Any of the none starters with Foster. Him getting a goal will give him the confidence Infront of goal he desperately needs

CalamityClaret

Please take JBL off for Edwards. Also look totally devoid of an no10. Far too deep and Foster completely isolated on most occasions. Not good this

CalamityClaret

Wrong thread, sorry

CalamityClaret

We look like we're playing without a no 10. The lack of a Claret shirt Infront of there defence is massive

CalamityClaret

I'd have JBL off now

CalamityClaret

We're sitting far too deep and no where near them when they have the ball. Foster far too isolated

If it's a foul yes

Probably not now I've stopped shouting

So if a player is pushed over in the area, but the ball is at the other end of the pitch, you’d want a penalty?

If it's a foul yes

Was never getting that ball. No pen

It was a foul. Why does it matter where the ball is?

CalamityClaret

Zero problem with this. Anyone who says they want playing for Burnley to be the pinnacle of their career is either full of s**t, no ambition or just not good enough to play higher. I love Burnley but if I was good enough I would want to play for one of the biggest clubs in the World. He honesty is r...

Absolutely randomclaret2 and I'm going to have to find more stringent ways of stopping other than just removing posts.

I’m absolutely devastated with this news

A lovely tribute. Before my time but what we wouldn't give for a bloke like that upfront. What an incredible goal record. Cheers Bill, RIP

Apologies if this has already been cleared up but did we ever see the Vitinho cash from this bunch of chancers? I haven't seen any updates recently

CalamityClaret

Absolutely gutted with this one. Really wanted to see how he'd cope in the PL along side Esteve. He didn't fancy it so that's up to him. As someone said above I wish him no good luck or ill will. Who cares how he does. That is football

CalamityClaret

Admittedly I haven't seen much of him but going off both play off games Bellingham has been very disappointing

Please excuse me being an accountancy simpleton but since the takeover are we paying off the debt, is it increasing or do we simply not know? If the greater minds could answer that it would be really appreciated.

You’d imagine selling Trafford and/or Esteve this summer, in addition to the £88m of player sales in the current year and PL money, should see us on the right side of the line regrading PSR.

True but what an awful blow that would be.

Go Plymouth on Saturday and cheer on the pastie boys

Plymouth is in Devon

CalamityClaret

What a crap report. Mentions nothing about his ability to defend

CalamityClaret

Norwich spent £9 mill 1st time they were promoted and £40mill the second time. He never stood a chance with that level of investment in the squad. Truly awful if they sack him

CalamityClaret

Zero interest. One step up from that YouTube fighter nonsense

Does anyone even think Jobe Bellingham would leave Sunderland to come to us anyway? Laughable.

If we get promoted and not too many others are pulling up trees to get him then it's not out of this World. He's hardly set the World on fire at Sunderland

CalamityClaret

Excuse my ignorance please but is Banel a home grown lad and what position? Thanks

CalamityClaret

I'm chucking in the Arsenal winner that was handball and offside in the 97th min after they'd shown 4 mins of extra time. Still grind my teeth over that

Sky sports news. Very odd

The person who dressed the Sky Sports presenter right now. He seems to be dressed as a Russian peasant for some reason

Ok thanks for letting me know

Does the bloke from Mauritius still post on here? I remember him helping out a number of people through this forum with advice re his home island. I think he he was called Dave.

The chicken theme has been in KFC for a number of years. I noticed it after lockdown but I'd just moved back to the country. The broad theme seems to be that they're happy to associate chicken (the animal) with chicken (the meat). The current advert(s) are an extension of this theme. It's infintiel...

My dad took the 6 year old me on that day. Still calls it the most terrifying day of his life. Didn't take me on again for a few years

I'm not normally a gambling man but I've won a good few quid betting on a Burnley not to concede over a couple of months. Normally go bigger on (£50) nil nil but cover it with 1 nil and 2 nil. Kiss off death probably but I'll be doing the same tonight. I've never bet on Burnley before this season an...

Fergie set up the youth system that brought them together and brought them along. A small part might be fortune but mostly it was hard work and judgement - much of it directly attributable to Fergie. Not only did he set up the scouting network, he also set up the coaching teams and instilled the cu...

Has any manager in history been gifted the talent of Giggs, Sharpe, Scholes, Neville x 2, Butt and Beckham? A truly superb manager, of that there is no doubt. He didn't half get lucky with that lot from the youth team though.

How is Shelvey supposed to get match fit when he’s not playing any u23 matches or making our bench?

Just leggit around. Be fit as a fiddle in no time

CalamityClaret

Very comfortable defensively. Foster, Brownhill and especially Laurent need to show much much more
