I fink it's all about the free points

Goddy

I was just thinking that usually the teams at the top of the table are easily going at 2 ponts per game.....not this season, though in the Championship.

Maybe a record low number of points for promotion (in the top 2) this season? 82-84 points enough?

Interesting season ahead, though......

Goddy

Well, that's annoying.

I'd just booked to go to London for Thursday through to Saturday evening (seeing my kids/grandkids and taking in the game), now I'll be forced to spend more time with my kids/grandkids and miss the game

So sad.

...and been on the local news here that Forest have just had approval (from the local council) to redevelop the old Main Stand (Peter Taylor stand I think it's called now) to have the capacity raised to 38000 at a cost of a mere £94m. Given all the money spent on signings, wages of those (and other)...

Some great stories here which totally resonate with me.

I didn't know Rocky but knew him all the same. That screech was something else.

RIP Rocky....a Claret legend of a different kind, that's for sure

Tony - well done to everyone involved.

As someone who only manages to get to Turf Moor a couple of times a season (and then I normally forget to bring some tins along with me - sorry), is there any way I can make a cash donation to the fund you've just made that donation from?

Goddy

Glad it's not just ne then....I used to love watching how we defended. Whilst I'm all for attacking football I really used to appreciate (and enjoy, oddly enough) how well we defended. As for NP, my thanks to him. I don't know, but he always seemed a down to earth, unassuming guy who loved to play f...

I don't think our accounts (NewClaret) of the last days of Dyche are that far apart and I accept my account may well not be accurate albeit came from someone I know and would believe. I do agree that the lack of public thanks to SD from both AP and the players is, at best, disappointing. SD absolute...

Goddy

Interesting debate here about a number of issues which go beyond the Pace interview e.g. Garlick, financial situation, player investment etc etc. One of the issues has been about Dyche's departure and, in effect, questioning Pace about that. I believe that discussions between AP and SD had been taki...

Well, if Roberts has said what he's reported saying to WW then he's gone right up in my estimation. WW can do one as far as I'm concerned....

Goddy

Well Pickford's kicked 4 straight out....the last two with Southgate applauding him (sighs).

Goddy

This thread has become a bit more of a review of the season (claret59 most recently excepted) My point, at the start, was that despite everything, we still had the outcome in our own hands with one game to go. I'm wondering what the mentality might have been that thought doing anything else other th...

Goddy

I've been thinking about all the psychology of the final few days of last season and how everyone at Burnley (after the Villa game) were banging on about the outcome 'being in our own hands'. Then the last game happened and we set up defensively and with players playing out of position to accommodat...

Goddy

Like Vegas Claret, I hope, for us, it's the most boring march back to the PL ever, and done and dusted by early 2023. Wishful thinking, I know........

Goddy

It's basic employment law (and I don't see why SD should be subject to anything different by being a football club manager....he's still an employee). I've even been on the end of a compromise agreement myself. I had an annual rolling contract and when I was 'let go' I was offered 6 months salary (a...

Goddy

Would be interesting to see how much was paid to Dyche or will be. I imagine it’s around the 20m mark? I'd be utterly amazed if it was any more than £5m (and I'm assuming he has a contract of £5m per annum.....I have absono idea what he was being paid, by the way). My point is that a compromise agr...

Goddy

A very poignantly written piece, that, Tony. What a difficult afternoon it was for us all. I've never been so nervous before a game and seemed to me the players were just as nervous. Don't know about you, but the whole atmosphere at the ground was odd. OK, I get that the circumstances were strange, ...

Fair comment

...and fair play to you Newacstle93 for taking that on the chin and accepting the criticism.

Would be nice if we all behaved more like that on this board, at times.....

Goddy

I don't understand such moronic behaviour either. I totally get he'd want to score.....it's his job, for goodness sake. I'd expect more class though with him (and others) thinking, 'these are fellow professionals who I'm potentially relegating so no need for wild celebrations out of respect to those...

Goddy

I'm ok. Our complete bottle job performance yesterday has annoyed me more than relegation. I couldn't have put it better myself. If we were to go down, then I wanted us to go down having fought tooth and nail and gone for a win. We just rolled over until it was too late. So, annoyed is precisely ho...

Gil Scott Heron's last gig in the UK was Colne Muni

Really? I saw him in Brixton just before he died but didn't realise he played another UK date after that one.

Did you go, WellerNut?

Goddy

Saw Gil Scott-Heron there back in 1985. Loved the gig, less so the venue......

Goddy

Seems one more win was/is going to be enough.

That being said, I'm with bennyD and hope 35 does it i.e. Leeds get spanked by Brentford on Sunday......

It's my first visit to Turf Moor (for a match) since 2019 due to covid and all the cancellations, along with living a fair distance from Burnley.

I intend having no voice left come Monday morning...let's just put it that way!

Sorry, I said ‘FOUL ******* THROW REF’ as he took it. You could ask my Wife if you lived in the Chesterfield area as she told me to shut up for being too loud as our Daughter had just gone to bed.

I heard you over here in Nottingham, jedi!!

Your Son is spot on Goddy Approx 3O% of penalties go to the right 30% to the left 40% centrally So a keeper has the best chance if he stays in the middle and relies on his reflexes for anything saveable that isn’t going into the extreme corners. Well that's disappointing that I have to concede he's...

Goddy

My son keeps banging on about some research he's seen about penalties. The best chance of saving one, apparently, is not to dive one way or the other but do what NP did yesterday. The reason goalies dive is to be seen to be making an effort rather than standing in the middle of the goal

Goddy

Surely a no brainer. We'd want Arsenal to win all day (much as it pains me to say so). It means they'll bust a gut to beat Everton too (as I can't see Spurs slipping up against Norwich) A Newcastle defeat also leaves them with barely anything to play for. Whatever anyone says, a team with everything...

Goddy

Everton are right back in the mix and with Arsenal away in their last game the pendulum has swung again today , a good day for us although it may not seem like that for everyone Exactly this. We couldn't, realistically, have hoped fir anything away at Spurs. The fact that our two rivals had their e...

Goddy

Good point tiger. Who we can get back is likely to make a big difference. Ben's interview before the game, hinted he might be back, at least for the Newcastle game. JayRod, and Tarks might both be available too. Whatever, even if we lose at Villa I'd take my chances on us beating Newcastle (with Tur...

Goddy

I didn't know about that history with Brentford and Leeds. If that's the case then I suspect Brentford will win. One point might even be enough for us. Anyone thinking how dire things are should ask themselves 'would you rather be in Leeds or Burnley's position right now?' Despite being in the releg...

It could have been far, far worse.

Couldn't agree more. I had Leeds down to beat Brighton and expected nothing at Spurs.

I think Leeds won't beat Brentford but might get a draw. I think we might end up having to beat Newcastle.........and I think we will........

Keep the faith

2-1 WHU v City

Goddy

Fair enough, agreenwood.

Anyhow I'd be surprised if Chelsea don't field a team strong enough to sort Leeds out....but then I thought that a couple of weeks ago when Chelsea were going to Everton.

Let's hope the will to finish as high as possible in the league wins out....

Goddy

Why do people think Chelsea will be playing their 'reserves' ? Surely they would rather not risk missing out on CL football by losing to Leeds and potentially being overtaken by both Arsenal and Spurs?

Am I missing something?

If you don't mind me asking,What makes you think we will beat Newcastle?

No, don't mind you asking all. Newcastle with nothing to play for; us with everything to play for (probably). If we give it everything and they don't, I reckon we'll win....that's all.

Chelsea reserves you mean? Can’t see them fielding their strongest XI with the Cup Final 3 days later.

You don't think Chelsea want to finish third in the league to avoid the Champions League qualifyers? Me neither. They'll field a strong side against Leeds and go for the three points (imho)

Goddy

So, if we get one more win in the last three (assuming nothing disastrous with goal difference) Leeds will definitely need at least one win, too, to overtake us. That scenario seems a possibility. I could easily see leeds drawing their last three games (or worse). Cgelsea need the points so unlikely...

Goddy

We'll beat Newcastle. If we can get a point at Villa or Spurs or better we’ll be ok.

Leeds' next two games = nil points

Keep the faith.

Funnily enough, a friend of mine sent a pic of her son with SD yesterday.

He was playing golf in the East Midlands. I can confirm Sean still has a smile on his face, tribesman......and good luck to him

Goddy

The most nailed on 0-0 draw since that Austria-Germany one at the 1982 World Cup Been thinking about this, Lancaster, and finally come to the conclusion it would be very risky for either to play for a draw and then hope 41 points is enough. I could see Burnley getting 7 points from the last 4 games...

Goddy

I can do the maths the same as everyone but for me, we may need at least 41 points to stay in the premier league . If we need 41 points to be ahead of Leeds and Everton it might well be Southampton who go down (having lost their last 3 matches.....which us a distinct possibility.....no, probability...

Goddy

Ha ha - just done that calculator thingyo. I reckon we'll beat Villa (h) and Newcastle (who won't even have a position or two to play for when they turn up at the Turf). Us on 40 points and ahead of Southampton (who will, likely lose their final 3 games). Everton and Leeds on 38 with DL down on GD. ...

Goddy

We’ve got the points on board and better GD than Leeds. Rather be in our shoes than Leeds right now with a trip to Arsenal then home game with Chelsea. Then Everton have got a great result there and look strong at home now. Hopefully they’ve just peaked and can’t match that level of performance. Ce...
