The feeling I got from the World Cup was Ronaldo wants to be the best player ever, in the sense when people look back on his career it would be hard to argue. A few times it was mentioned how it was Ronaldo and Messi's (he has to be mentioned) last World Cup, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if Ro...

Do we really believe it was the pre-season that changed him, and not a clearing of the air with Dyche?

JTClaret

I don't know anything about him.
But that sounds like a Dean Marney type replacement

JTClaret

I still find him funny. I know I know, clearly I don't know what I'm talking about, but to be honest - I don't care. All I do know is that people really hate him, enough to make a massive balloon of him (bet that was cheap, couldn't spend money on more worthwhile causes at all), he's getting pally w...

That's what they do with American football shirts.
Authentic and replica

Do Burnley players tend to wear the same material as the fans?

Finally you've got it. That's exactly what it will be. With standing areas, sitting will be enforced elsewhere. Could you not just have agreed that the seating areas should be properly enforced if safe standing was available? I'm sure there will still be fans who stand in seating areas, especially ...

My assertion was the recruitment team at BFC hadn't developed in 10 years. So are you agreeing with me then by pointing out we haven't made material changes? Can I ask what you would be looking to see from any changes? I completely understand why we often go for players who are either from the nort...

Secondly, if you think there’s no link then have a read of this. I understand the link... however I don't think comments like this deserve this link. Stupid, as a public figure, absolutely. If he'd said it to his mate in the pub, daft, and possibly laughed at with the intention it was meant. Perhap...

Do you not find it strange how some fans always talk about resale value, yet go on about the lack of loyalty when they leave

JTClaret

Not if you know anything about history. There is a rise in nationalism and the far right occurring correctly, and a significant individual such as Sugar thinking it appropriate to make a joke like this shows that people either aren’t aware of that or don’t care. I’ll say it again though ..... the h...

Has nobody ever drawn a diagram for you about laughing and belittling a group of people and then ..... I dunno ..... putting them in cages or lynching them? Do you think the holocaust started with the gas chambers? Or did it start with making jokes, dehumanising them and then doing it? F**king plum...

If we won the world cup 1966 would be completely forgotten and considered 'a different game', and we'll spend the next 50years doing the same thing haha

JTClaret

I don't think it is trying to be clever or with any anterior motive. I like Southgate, it's been hard not to over the last few months. And if the press turn, he can simply say it's part of their job. He appears to know to enjoy the moment and the press whilst things are good, and I wouldn't be surpr...

Great watch. A few things stood out for me. I do feel sorry for Allardyce. Yes he was wrong to have done what he did, though the way he was outed was cruel. Like him or not he was beaming to be England manager, and you could feel the pain and heartbreak it has caused him. Gave a very honest answer i...

I don't think Ben Mee is hard.
I do however think he would win my vote for bravest

Over the last couple of years, with Brexit and Trump, the lefties are unbearable and seem to constantly want to cause conflict with an argument about how they are right. You rarely hear the righties actually arguing back, only ever getting shot down for having a different opinion. Aside from looking...

No point in getting annoyed about the money now. It's the same for every club, not just us. I'm not saying we should pay £80k a week, but if we wanted to stay a 7th position Premier League team, that figure would be right, if not higher. In the way we all say 'In Dyche we trust' these are the times ...

JTClaret

He's apparently not put any money into the club for a few months. I love how often we see ridiculous comments like this. But I can't work out if it's funnier that fans expect an owner to constantly pour money in, then complain they are foreign when they don't, or that it's more important to throw m...

Don't move her in for convenience, only do it because you want to.

It has to be our main target... because it has to be our 'first' target.

Next season will be back to the 'one game at a time' that everybody drilled themselves with a couple of years ago. We will be relegation candidates next season, although less so. Plus, if Dyche was to go it would have a feel of everything falling apart. Can we break the top 6? Yes. Will we? I very v...

I do think this is a big job for a first timer. However, I also have a feeling Lampard could be the one from that generation of England players who makes it as a good manager. As for the Chris Waddle thing, it did cross my mind reading the OP, although then remembered we were a 3rd division team, no...

I said at the end of the season Jay-Rod would cost £20m.
And if Wood is worth £15/18m then 20m is a fair price.

JTClaret

Did you really just suggest a red and yellow striped shirt with claret shorts??

JTClaret

Does comes across like he believes if he tells people he's not been poor, they'll believe it.
Rather than work on it. I can't imagine Heaton or Pope crying 'it's not fair' if they weren't performing.

JTClaret

I don't get it.
With the inclusion of a new attacking midfielder in for Barnes/Hendrick, it's the formation we played much of this season with.
So aside from 60% possession, and selling Heaton, what's so ridiculous about it?

JTClaret

I can't understand why people seem to be getting wound up about whether or not we are a big club. It's the little ones like us that give football the magic. The magic of the FA cup isn't when Chelsea beat United with a penalty. It's when a non-league team beat a top team. Collymore must be annoyed a...

JTClaret

I suppose it depends on your definition of a 'big club'.

I'd say Sheff Wed are bigger.
Bradford are smaller,
And we are a successful small club.

The school dinners campaign he did was a fair shout, and rightly was backed. But, lay off now. I have takeaways as a treat. And pizza is a damn sight cheaper from the shop anyway.

What Dyche has done is incredible, and if he had have won it would have been fair enough.
But Pep's season will go down as one of the greatest. If he didn't win, when you look back on it, it would seem strange.

Arfield will always hold a special place in my heart. Scoring the winner against Leeds on my son's first game. My son became a bit of a lucky charm in that nearly every time he went Arfield would score. It actually makes me really sad that he's left. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ED4y3hu5ITw" oncl...

Bournemouth's subs completely changed the game.

Before that we were dominant and looked like we were the ones who would score goals.
It made a difference that everyone, fans and players didn't particularly care when they scored

JTClaret

I've never done it, but I can't say it bothers me.
Plus, if it's okay to do it when promoted, then I'd say it's okay if we've just got into Europe.

JTClaret

I can't work out what's going on here.

Is this a serious post?
The glitter man? Got to be fishing with some poisonous bait hasn't it?

JTClaret

This is ridiculous. It was just of the pantomime of football. My lad asked why he was being booed, I told him because he accused Jay Rod of saying something he (Jay Rod) says he didn't. Explaining Jay Rod is a Burnley lad who used to play for us. In the second half he was joining in with the boos......

JTClaret

I don't think much has changed in terms of what we want this summer. However the ability to get those players has become slightly easier with European football. I would still say. Dawson - CB/RB (If we can get better then great) Jay Rod (I wouldn't be surprised if West Brom want £20m, but when Wood ...

JTClaret

Not sure how anyone can say he isn't good enough for us, never mind 'championship standard'. Local lad 'left for the money' - despite us being a Championship side and him getting an England call up after leaving. We also got a record fee received didn't we. But yeah, he's got no loyalty haha See Jac...

We weren't on it today, but credit has to partly go to Chelsea. However despite never really looking great I certainly don't think we were awful like some are saying. I did think it says a lot about the team when they don't play particularly well against the likes of Chelsea and I don't think we loo...

JTClaret

Aside from the 2 central defenders, it is an entirely attacking team. A good one though.
I don't see how defensive stats can say we should have a defender in, we are a defensively minded team.

Didn't he change the opinion on the West Ham fans in his second season? Just shows how football fans/clubs want instant results and certain style of play. Our Sean still talks about us being nowhere near the finished article. I think we all know that the finished article is impossible to reach, but ...

I'm not sure why people's opinion of Gray is that he is terrible. He was arguably too good for the Championship, we didn't miss Ings when he came in and he made a name for himself in his first season. Yes, losing him for £18m is hardly upsetting, and he touch is pretty poor... but Lukaku has a poor ...

The thought of watching us play a European game is brilliant.
We could finish 8th and still be in a relegation fight next season, so why on earth would anyone not want to see us playing in Europe?

That one-on-one with Benteke when he first came on was a real moment.
The crowd held it's breath asking the same question... the sigh of relief and cheer at the save said it all

JTClaret

I'd definitely go for Dawson this summer. Dyche is a fan. He can play CB or RB, appears to fit the mould of a 'Dyche type' player and he's from round here. Ticks the boxes that usually mean he wouldn't be a bad signing. I'd love us to go all out and get a top class attacking midfielder - easier said...

Pope - 7 - Didn't have to do much so cant really rate higher. Bardsley - 6 - Can't really complain and put his body on the line Long - 9 - MOM - I thought he was outstanding, helped keep them quiet. I'm starting to see why Dyche didn't panic buy a defender Mee - 8 - Fantastic defending, I feel harsh...

I don't see why people get upset at us being called a long-ball team. We know we can play, as do the other teams. However we do hoof it on a regular basis, however we often make the most of it. It works, other teams don't like it, struggle to play against it and mixed with passing play we certainly ...

JTClaret

Pope
Lowton Tarkowski Mee Taylor
Westwood Cork
JBG Barnes Lennon
Vokes

I think Vokes is a bigger goal threat and Barnes gives the nuisance factor.
Hendrick just isn't offering enough for that position at the moment.

Hardly a surprise figure.
Leicester's star player, title winner. I'd say in the current market it's a fair bid - I'd be more surprised if Leicester accepted it.

I've been saying this for years. The argument for keeping it is that there's no adverts.

Personally I don...

I get that. But should one of Lennon or Nkoudou be able to bring their own style to Brady's position then hopefully we can start getting results like we were. If we start changing the whole thing we may struggle to resurrect what we had.
