One flew over the Cuckoo's Nest

Always had a dislike for Brighton since my dad decided it would be a good away trip to go to on Boxing Day in the 90’s where we got beat 3.0 and I could have spent the day on the Sega Master System. Don’t remember their anti northern chants when they visited the turf with their begging buckets. Jum...

Part of he art of research is forgetting what you think you know and following the evidence. It is what I love about what I do, and why the accepted History of today is light years ahead of what we were taught in schools… as a popular TV programme promised The truth is (usually) out there. But findi...

Model makers/wargamers should store their paints upside down so the pigment is at the top. This can then be thinned down with the appropriate thinning agent before application…. This making those little bottles last twice as long without compromising the paint quality.

Hi everyone, first time poster and a huge thank you to Tony for helping with issues with registration.

Been discussing with my lads (16 and 18) tonight the next 2 seasons... I said my dream would be for us to finish 3,4,5 or 6th get through the playoffs but lose at Wembley in the final for 2 seasons running.

If the players have been boosted by our keepers recall, as we suspect, then now they need to give themselves a dusting down and get out there and rescue him.

Good. I have a strong dislike of Rotherham. Funnily enough I am just the opposite. Despite being too young to remember Frank Casper the player, my geography teacher was a Rotherham fan and followed Burnley as his second team since they signed FC… so had many a extra curriculum football chat and hav...

That seems the problem. Why would a decent ref need to do that? They are crying out for good ones looking at the likes of Rob Jones already working in the prem. They are already scraping the barrel. They should fast track good ones ( if there are any with common sense) doesn’t seem like there are a...

So basically if you can afford it do what you like.

The Americanisation of our national game continues. Football moves ever further away from the man in the street and from being sport to becoming a theatre for the rich.

elwaclaret

Maybe Trafford not feeling 100% is why Muric got the nod in the first place. Maybe people are reading far too much into it. Trafford does not seem the kind who would sulk, or at least I hope not. I think a few weeks out of the firing line could be exactly what the lad needs, hopefully to come back s...

Twitter Clarets have got hold of a report from South Africa…

Burnley will sign Mamelodi Sundowns right-back Khuliso Mudau, who plays for the South African national team, in the summer, according to manager Rhulani Mokwena.

Always sad to hear of a passing Claret. Would like to see a picture of Mark because I’m sure I must have chatted to him on one of those trips to Maidstone, Scarborough, Exeter, and the rest.

RIP Mark Inger

elwaclaret

I reckon the ball was probably in play for half of it and blew exactly on 94th Two minutes were spent with the ball in the hands of the Wolves keeper walking up and down his box. It is as though they think they don’t even need to try to be fair when it comes to the smaller clubs, as long as the for...

Thought so, but was not sure if he was still with us.

elwaclaret

They really don’t need to financially. Listening to some of the ex-players on commentary; “he won a penalty”, “he was touched and had a right to go over”, suggests just being an ex-player does not give you a proper football brain. I don’t believe ex-players should necessarily be making decisions, bu...

In relative terms we are cheap , that said it has to realistically priced for the average wage of the fan base. Some of the prices are frightening and I should imagine picking games or just not going on will become more common. That is the problem. It will become like going to the west end for a sh...

He's been a decent enough performer for us. But I don't think he completely fits VK's idea of a fullback. I would not argue with you, probably would have been when we got him; but now he cannot just tank around,he increasingly puts me in mind of Pieters. I feel more confident with him at full back,...

elwaclaret

That was awful. Everytime City got the ball, slow it down, don't cross the halfway line until Arsenal have reset the backline. Slow, slow, slower, slower, slow. Yawn. At least Arsenal worked for the point they were happy with, but City deserved nothing. Had to miss it due to them deciding to put it...

elwaclaret

yep, we know Cullen was injured so maybe that had something to do with it. Strange all the same though, do we think Kompany puts Cullen and Muric back in if Trafford doesn't play that pass at Palace ? I'm not so sure. These are just my observations, I back the management team 100%, they are learnin...

As a moderator, I would expect you to set the standard and not throw insults because you disagreed with someone’s opinion on an individual players form. I don’t think it’s outrageous to suggest Taylor has been below par at this level for a long while nor do I keep repeating it and driving it down p...

in my 40 odd years of watching football and particularly the Clarets I struggle to think of and more baffling set of decisions by any manager Hard to argue from our position… but we do not have the ‘inside track’ on the decision making process. It could be something as simple as long covid; that we...

elwaclaret

I find it harder to understand Cullen’s seeming fall from grace than VK not wanting to drop Trafford on the back of a mauling. To my mind VK has worked with Cullen long enough to know the solidity he brings to the team and that a dip in form is purely that… Trafford is young and dropping him would h...

Of course the player dived , they’re ( mainly ) cheats by default . It’s not about what Assignon “ should have done “ it’s what he did do , which, at pace looked to cut across, impede and foul Mudryk in the penalty area . It was a fairly soft pen but I’ve seen far worse given and can understand why...

elwaclaret

For me Bayer has clearly struggled adapting to the pace change when moving up to the top level, leading to him looking at time clumsy and slow as opposed to cool and in command as he did last season. I would love to see him challenging the CB’s on merit, but he has some progress to make before he ch...

As I said, he's no kid.

He might not be a kid, but he lacks experience. How many games in the top league in the world? It is like expecting a go-carter to win in a F1 race on his fifth or sixth race.

elwaclaret

Assignon was never anywhere near the ball nor did he make any attempt to do anything but cut across the player and raise his arm and hand in his face . True, if in midfield it would have probs just been a foul . People spouting bs like “ Referees are crap “ really are the utterly clueless ones , yo...

Very nice of a moderator to post insults, really set the bar high. He’s been a very good footballer for us over the years, one of the best left backs I have seen play for us. It was pretty evident his level dropped significantly in Dyche’s final season and I haven’t seen much evidence this season h...

elwaclaret

Just to point out it’s a case of back to the future from what I can gather, back to the conveyer belt of players stepping up from the periphery, but it is being fast tracked due to necessity at the moment.

elwaclaret

Of course. And by the time a player like Assignon has experience we wouldn’t be able to afford him still have to be on our watch unfortunately. Quite right… and it is a four year plan, get them in before their value shoots up. For those who rubbished the term being wheeled out time and again forgot...

Esteve is an absolute Rolls Royce in the making. Plays well beyond his years. Fantastic signing.

Bit unsure about Assignon. Looks a good player with poor decision making. If could iron that out he’d have real potential.

Good decision making comes with experience…

When CB was at City I went along with a good friend and City sth.

Consumate professional. I love his approach and attitude. Disappointed he didn't get that winner on the rebound. Sadly, not the player he was but never lets us down.

And to think there was a poster who called him "tripe" and "finished" on the match thread.

The problem with not realising you know nothing about football is you don’t know when you are talking utter ballcocks; that was one steaming pile by a complete clown.
