I do think Harry Kane is fit to be mentioned in the same breath. And there is a good argument that Shearer and Owen played in better teams. Scholes/Gerrard/Lampard vs Ali/Sterling for example. I didn't watch the game, and didn't even care I was going to miss it. It has nothing to do with the players...

I remember Derby laughing at us for signing Hendrick for a reported £10m

JTClaret

I hoped Tarkowski would be good enough, and at the end of last season believed he would. However towards the end of summer I was panicking at not signing another CH as I didn't actually know he would be. Truth is, he IS good enough... though would still have been nice to get another on board, but no...

JTClaret

I'm sure a new defender is something that is already being looked at. They have to be available, willing and capable and I imagine finding a player with all three of those things is very difficult. As for essentially not being bothered, I can't see this being the case at all. He's already built a le...

JTClaret

Not yet, but he can be. A club, possibly fans more-so than players would have to 'buy-in' to what he says. He used the 'buy-in to what we are about' thing quite a lot when he started with us, and after a slow start, we did, wholeheartedly. I'm not convinced many of the top 4 clubs would, the only on...

How dare they!!??
Haha... Get a grip.

What I can't understand is how and why we seem to have the same problem every year. The window opens. We put low bids in, complain that transfer fees are ridiculous and say we are priced out. Then come the end of the window we are putting bids of around the same amount we said were too much, and com...

I can't say I understand it... I don't have an issue with a boy being like a girl, whatever that would mean, or visa-versa - which I'm pretty sure was just called a Tom-boy. But to pretend there is no such thing as boy or girl I find bizarre. At any age. Like I say, I don't understand, but if a boy ...

JTClaret

It was painful, but yes there is... I give you Steve Clarigde.
I had to turn off Swansea vs Newcastle on the drive home because of him.

JTClaret

The save against Benteke was brilliant... I dont mean the save, though that was fantastic. But there was a feeling of 'Oh no, Heaton out injured (bearing in mind news of a possible break or dislocation was coming through), is this lad good enough? good enough to help keep us up?' there seemed be a m...

JTClaret

I must admit I thought Tarkowski was signed to take the place of Keane when he was to leave, unless he could get in the team ahead of Keane or Mee beforehand. Just in the same way Ings was signed to eventually take the place of Jay-Rod or Austin. Assumed it was the way we operated and didn't mind it...

JTClaret

I thought it should have been a red. Simply for the fact he jumped in.
I only got the ball (as obvious from image above) so yellow is an understandable decision.

JTClaret

Keane was great for us, obviously, but in his first season he was also the player involved when we conceded so many over that Christmas period (14/15 season) and was dropped in favour of Duff. A full season in the Championship turned him into the player he became IMO Tarkowski has the potential to b...

JTClaret

I do agree that Dyche's main concern is the work ethic and not the attacking intent. However, I also believe this isn't by choice, more out of necessity. If he goes for attack and it fails and the defence isn't in the habit of working hard, we lose. If he goes for defence, or 'framework' which seems...

I've always said, I'd be happy with a team too good for the Championship.
Good enough for the Prem is a different matter, but we can only build.

JTClaret

It still not a ridiculous thing to say. If we want a player vs another club who WANT a player, chances are they would win a bidding war. We do offer some things more than financial benefit though - like the work ethic and fact some many players in recent years have improved so much so with us they a...

JTClaret

Instantly thought of Austin's goal.

Danny Ings vs United is up there too

JTClaret

Long and Gray up front would be brilliant!!

Imagine they would frighten any defence.

JTClaret

Was the tv talent show called Britain's got talent?

I regularly go to a place most of you have been to, and there we change the words of various songs just so we can say the word Burnley

JTClaret

Could very well be Dyche's Owen Coyle moment if he goes to Palace. How? If fans haven't learnt to deal with a manager leaving by now they never will. Benteke or Barnes? Brady or Zaha? You get my point. The only questions would be for Dyche to know if he has the same start he had at Burnley, would h...

JTClaret

He'll always be remembered as a hero to me.
Not just the goal against them, but against Leeds 2014.
My lad's first game, and many a time Scotty would pop up with a winner or late equaliser when he went on.
I think his time is definitely coming to an end though.

JTClaret

I'm a big fan of him.
He's the type of striker I'd see as 'ideal' for Burnley in the position we are in.
Why not add to the Irish contingent.

JTClaret

I must admit I felt very uncomfortable about it. It seems very soon, I can't imagine anyone grieving would be able to think think about music concerts. However, some very good points have been made, especially with regards to the injured and how the money raised will help. I do hope it is done with ...

JTClaret

I'd like to see attacking football. Tika taka isn't always attacking. Dyche stays along the lines of 'it's a results industry' - and so far he has done that. True, it's not always pretty, but neither is losing. Dyche worked out the Championship and won it. He worked out how to stay up and did it. No...

JTClaret

He'll go eventually. But I don't see why he would go anywhere just yet. He job is ridiculously safe considering the nature of the job. The better he does with us, the bigger name he becomes, the status at Burnley will be legendary and with that he will be in a position to get whatever he wants - wha...

JTClaret

I'm unsure. I did like JC, however I'm starting to think he's the type who is very intelligent and his ideas are great - in an ideal world, which it isn't - however if someone disagrees with him he won't start a slanging match, but will just irritate. And personally, I don't think him and Trump woul...

JTClaret

S h!t but good.

He's not the most skillfull but can scuff the ball in the back of the net.
Horrible to play against and best of all, scores important goals.

I love him.
His winner against Palace at home is my moment of the season

JTClaret

Ahhhhh...

Are we due a Magic Numbers thread?

Hopefully it'd be a short lived one, but all the same.

JTClaret

To say Arfield is league is just ridiculous. Hendrick is still a (relatively) young lad, with plenty of time to improve, especially for a central midfielder. Dyche himself is still a young manager, with time to improve. He will only learn and improve by being able to solve problems without destroyin...

Top 10?
I'll go back to one game at a time.

If I find us pushing for top 10 I'll enjoy that too.
But I won't be getting disappointed if we only just survive.

I feel like I'm biting, but if I'm honest, I like the way it makes me feel optimistic

I'd be quite happy sitting mid to bottom half of the Premier League for a couple of years yet. Even scraping it, or being lucky.
It may go wrong, but it may not, and at the moment, it's not

JTClaret

Yeah, we definitely won't win the league when our defending is our best asset.

...wait, what? He's talking about relegation? Why?

JTClaret

Oh no, we're ONLY 4 points clear now??!!
