I'd rather us play in the top division against some of the best players in the world, than not. We have to go up to be able to be one of the better teams (because of the money). I'm under no illusion that if we don't go up, eventually we find ourselves getting beat by lesser teams in the Championshi...

A bit worrying I put a comment on Facebook saying I thought the fans were a bit quiet tonight and Alan Pace liked it ,obviously more than Brownhill that’s not too happy. I you sure it wasn't someone pretending to be Pace and liking lots of comments. I had/saw it the other week. As mentioned, why wo...

I hope the crowd let it be known what they think about him on Saturday. This last week has been one of the most disgraceful weeks in living memory, ripped the heart out of the club . I hope he goes away soon, parasite. The sooner him and his gang leave the club the better. Seriously? In what way? W...

I can understand the feeling, however... We signed too many players last season, and look to be selling too many this season. Therefore, not really in a worse position. We signed young players with a view to selling on. We are doing that. Outside of players, which assets have they sold? I feel like ...

Imagine if he was good

He might be, but we've not signed him for his footballing skills, we've signed him for Massengo's photography skills when Dad pops into town

Be a bangin afternoon though to be fair

Is the 'Ya know' an in-joke to say as many times as possible? I like listening to this and Turfcast, as it's Burnley related, although it can be a tough listen. Ya know, who is, ya know, the bloke, that er ya know, struggles to ya know string a sentence together ya know and, ya know then changes wha...

Is Vitinho the link with the lad? Possibly crossed paths at Cruzeiro Esporte Clube. Plus with Firmino wearing the Burnley shirt over summer and reports that they were friends, maybe Vitinho is one of those players that other players know and like (from Brazil). It's crazy we have signed Ronaldinho's...

JTClaret

And that is your basis for believing he'll be a fan favourite if and when he gets out on the pitch I'm absolutely in the 'really hope he does well' camp. I find the way he promotes the town and people on his Insta incredibly refreshing. Embracing a different culture with artistic style, whilst comi...

As mentioned. Commit to cancelling. You get put through from one to another, neither seemingly knowing what you have previously said. Ask them for a better deal. See what they say, then say 'nah, just cancel it'. They get panicky. Whilst doing it, look at the deals for a new customer. See if the off...

Is it more believable then RVN being brought over in JJs jet and already met some of the players? Not that this sheds any more light, though I did spot a comment on a social media post saying RVN was going to be manager (nothing to be taken seriously) tagging a friend saying 'this will be why he wa...

It's crazy all this.

Added to the fact that people are getting so bitter and upset despite 'giving him 10 games before deciding if he should be sacked'.
Just madness, all of it.

Would I be correct in thinking that we sold out of season tickets in the early bird period last year? That being the case, and the feeling that the early bird will be scrapped, I've been looking at the standard price the the 22/23 season; https://www.burnleyfootballclub.com/content/2022-23-season-ti...

I must be reading this wrong but some replies are reading like "I don't care if we lose so long as my favourite payers play" I can understand why they may read like that, however, I'd say it's less favourite players playing, and more not playing players that don't appear to be up to the job, especi...

Has it always been this popular to moan about other fans? I don't remember this sort of complaining or criticising others when crowds dipped under 10,000 during Cotterill's 19 games without a win, but maybe it just wasn't memorable. Were the people in the smallest home crowds in the 80s letting eve...

JTClaret

Got to admit, I feel the same way in being resigned to it now. We don't appear to have any grit or determination to take control of a game if we aren't able to casually pass it around... and we aren't creating enough chances if we are supposed to be playing attacking possession football. I'd love it...

JTClaret

It's 20mph for large parts of Fleetwood.
Got to admit, it feels unnecessarily slow.

JTClaret

From what I've seen, he looks dreadful.
Sloppy play, weak defending and conceeding a lot of goals whilst he is playing.

With the signings we made, I do wish we hadn't bothered and just gone for THB.
At least if he'd been just as poor, we've seen him be very good to deserve the chance.

JTClaret

We have a lot of players at the moment with the low socks that people were having fits about Grealish doing.
Foster, Benson, Amdouni, to name those off the top of my head.

I'm not against it to be fair.

JTClaret

He reminds me of Vokes, but with pace.
Pretty much wins every header that is played forward.

I've got to say, I didn't see it coming last season.

Foiled by Lansbury, but Craig Dawson is still playing, I sincerely hope we haven't given up on him yet.

I'm sure Craig Dawson has been 32/33 for about 5 years haha

I watched all 4 episodes last night and loved it. I thought Pace came across fantastically well. I also didn't know that his links to Burnley stemmed from his dad who had been in the area for religious purposes... which to those making comments about the religion side, I feel it ties in as it answer...

Just generally massively more modern designs, in my opinion. JJ’s do away with the garish technicolour badge (I like our badge but it stands out like a sore thumb on a cap), and he goes for monochrome badges as per above. He’s done that blue, a claret one with claret badge, an off white with a clar...

I have just bought a mattress from them too - looked a good deal on QVC over the weekend.

Got 200 nights to test it.

I got one a couple of years ago. It's one of the best purchases I ever made. Very very comfy

JTClaret

I genuinely cant decide what I think is the right answer. If the money we paid is offered, snap their hands off. If Weghorst is back for pre-season in 3 weeks (taking into account he finished on Saturday), then lets see how he gets on - I can't see Kompany freezing him out at this stage. I think he ...

Wow, a lot of hatred towards tattoos on here then? I'm in the process of a 3/4 sleeve. Why? Because I want to. It doesn't worry me at all that you don't like them. I'm more concerned people think those who do are idiots because they like something you don't. Is it a generational thing? Fashion? If s...

He has worked miracles for Fleetwood and has done much good for the town and Blackpool. It also looks like he could be an uncompromising so and so, who sails close to and beyond the wind! Jail beckons. Has he? The club have done well, but I can't say he has done anything of note for the town (as a ...

Isn't it because "Oil" money is from regimes that treat people no better than members of Islamic State and any people who question those regimes are immediately executed?

Good point well made.

JTClaret

I think the oil money is only really brought up because they spend big money very well, and are a huge success. I totally understand the arguments, although I think I've just accepted that it is part of football. Something that always makes me laugh is that oil money is considered worse than money f...

Yep, me too. Added to by the goals he would score when my lad first started going on.
Not bad for a Huddersfield reject haha

What a strange OP. Not liking a 'plastic' club, saying that United will always be bigger and better... the club people have always been sick of for having tourist fans that don't come from Manchester. If City continue to be the way that they are, then in time they may be just as big. And it will be ...

Fleetwood.
Originally from Nelson

JTClaret

He's doing a fantastic job of promoting the club. Doesn't shy away from anything that people will inevitably throw at him, eg. was a Chelsea fan, and genuinely seems to want to learn about the club, it's history, and the impact on the town. Plus, he doesn't really seem to be doing anything except be...

Being in the middle of it, I'm surprised it was ONLY 40,000 that is the number being given.
Unbelievable atmosphere!

JTClaret

I hope this is good news. A larger global fanbase can only be a good thing in modern football and the way it is going. Just extra revenue from Texas buying shirts or subscriptions to Clarets player could add value. I personally suspect that they may be given some 'hands on' opportunities with the wo...

As long as Pace has a wishlist should he go, then there's nothing we can do either way. If he had a good season we knew all eyes would be on him... and he's had an incredible one. He may go to a 'big club', but he has got us promoted to get the rumours. If he had done a good job of restructuring, an...

JTClaret

There are various ways to look at it. But however you look at it, Garlick and Pace have made a deal whereby Pace gets a football club having stumped up £15m or thereabouts to buy it, Garlick and friends get £165m for selling their shares, and the difference comes out of club funds. Pace, in effect,...

JTClaret

I'd be surprised if it is anything but our usual starting line-up (by that, I mean no big changes), with BPF starting.

BPF (I think it's the whole 'cup keeper' situation)
Roberts Ekdal Beyer Maatson
Cork Cullen
Tella JBG Zaroury
Barnes

He's one of the few players that doesn't become world class by not playing on here

Obafemi doesn't scan with "thats right" or "thats neat" though ...

Needs work but good try

Would you not scan to 'your tiger feet' ?

JTClaret

To the tune of Tiger Feet (Mud).

That's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, I really love O-ba-femi
That's neat, that's neat, that's neat, that's neat, I really love O-ba-femi

Any name with 4 syllables really.

JTClaret

He looks very raw to me.
Potentially has all the pieces, but needs some serious coaching to develop.
If he's willing to learn, and they look to create a player like Bellamy was, it could be interesting.

He doesn't look like he's ready to me, I just hope that in time he will be.

JTClaret

Wood was alright.
Certainly wasn't rubbish, definitely wasn't great. 1 in 3 is decent, 1-2 is the top striker everyone wants (20 goals a season).

He was never a fan favourite, which a striker usually is - that's probably the issue.

JTClaret

His traditional goalkeeping skills leave a lot to be desired, as you say, but its these skills that will be required more next year I don't think people are waiting to say I told you so.... Just pointing out the bloomin obvious Agreed. Although it needs to be acknowledged that his other attributes ...

JTClaret

He made a clanger. Though before the game, after his Preston performance, I did say he'd be due a massive mistake - obviously, I hoped to be wrong, and didn't actually expect it to be the next game. My lad even said 'well, there's that mistake you said ha'. His 'traditional' goalkeeper skills leave ...

JTClaret

I enjoyed it, brief as it was. And my son said 'it was well cool'.
Felt like a teaser of what we may get more of next season, and I for one welcome it.

I guess if it really upsets you, just go to your seat for the kick-off. No loss.

JTClaret

He's doing a fantastic job so far, with the biggest, most impressive, and most important thing being appointing Vincent Kompany. I do have to say though, Garlick is getting some stick on here, and although the lack of investment was a frustration, and the concern about the leveraged deal, he does lo...

JTClaret

Me and my lad got a cap at the beginning of the season (not the one VK is sporting more often at the moment, a black one with black badge and a claret one). I'm sure they were £20-25 each (I definitely remember feeling a little pained by the price).
But they are decent quality

JTClaret

I'd say £15m for any of the loan players would be worth it.
It maybe slightly over the odds in some cases, but compared to some £15m for Maatson, Beyer or Tella I'd be happy with - Though I'd be very surprised in THB was sold for less than £20m

Now we have an extra game against the team that if it was away would be just over a mile from the doorstep, but it's at home... so over 40 miles away
