No. Until SD moves on, hopefully a long way off yet, people will pat him on the back and congratulate him, but won't appreciate the true genius of the man. I do believe that a manager, like players, has to suit their club. Sean fits Burnley like a glove. His replacement may well be someone who isn't...

Corbyn has been inviting terrorists to the HOP for decades, no problem apparently. Last week some Labour arse invited somebody who thought that Churchill was the son of a whore, and Wilberforce didn't end slavery, he just used to dick black women on the side. Yet the duly elected leader of one of th...

I'm not brainwashed, I can't stand the bloke. It doesn't blind me to the fact that people would complain about which hand he wipes his arse with. I'm not trying to defend him, just trying to get people to view him with out all the paranoia that surrounds his every utterance. People slag him off beca...

I don't know about Trumps news, but having lived on an army base all my life, and my Dad worked for the MOD on that camp, there were many terror related incidents that don't get reported. The fact is that spreading every scrap of terror related intelligence would just spread panic amongst the popula...

Suarez made him look immense. He could probably have made AG look immense as well.

There for tourists only. I don't believe any real fan would want to wear one.

Abusing the opposition fans is all banter. Abusing the public and staff in a Railway station is an embarrassment. You have to hope they grow out of it. We've all done stupid things when we were younger, but surely it would help if some sober Burnley fans told them what they looked like. At the very ...

I think Joey plays that role anyway, without the armband. Giving it to him officially would probably unsettle both him and the team.

Colburn_Claret

We play 20yds deeper away and allow the opposition to dominate the ball. We don't break out as a team. At home when we break perhaps 5 will go, this just doesn't happen away. It's the long pass? up to an isolated Gray or Barnes, who aren't good enough, at hold up play, to allow teammates to get to ...

Colburn_Claret

The second half showing yesterday proves there is little to be concerned about. More concerning is our ability to shoot ourselves in the foot. With 10 men on the field I'm convinced we would have won yesterday, but **** happens. There are teams out there with far bigger problems than we have. Palace...

Colburn_Claret

I thought SD would start with Scotty, and I can understand why, but I can't see any reason won't be starting with Brady from now. Injuries and suspensions are going to force the issue anyway. I just hope he isn't tempted to move Scotty inside, we need Westwood to start as well. Hopefully Defour will...

Colburn_Claret

If you had to pick 5 English Strikers for the squad for the next match then would he be in your top 5? Yes, definitely, if it was an important game / tournament starting in the next few weeks. As none of the above is applicable though, I guess the emphasis should be more on younger players who are ...

Colburn_Claret

No.
What he does he does better than most, which is give him the ball in front of him and he will stick it on the net.
He can't hold play up or play with his back to goal, that means not good enough for England. Still a great player though.

Colburn_Claret

Come on lads, same effort as Tuesday will do, same result would be even nicer.

Colburn_Claret

I met my love - Down at old Turf Moor Dreamed a dream - In the old Longside And I'm still here - After all this time This is our turf - This is our Town (2nd Verse) I watched us lift, both league and cup Watched us fall, though we never gave up. I stood right here, throughout all those years This is...

Colburn_Claret

I like it, but singing it in my head can't squeeze that last line in. Surely it would be better ending just 'This is our Town'.
I know the mills are very symbolic, but it just don't flow.

Colburn_Claret

Fortunately we are blessed with a board that understand the situation. There is no way, nor any need, to relocate. Replace the CFS when the FA remove their heads from their arses and allow safe standing. Altering it before then would be a massive missed opportunity, so if we have to bear with it for...

Colburn_Claret

I'd give them the whole of the CFS, it would ensure a full house, add to the atmosphere for the telly viewers, bring in added income to both clubs, and be seen as a magnanimous gesture on our part.
If we can't beat them despite their fans, then we wouldn't deserve to.

Colburn_Claret

Cant wait to see Brady and Westwood play, but I should think it will be the team that started Tuesday, with Scotty in for Defour.
I expect Brady will get at least the last 15 mins, especially if we happen to be chasing the game.

Colburn_Claret

You just concentrate on the league, simples.

Or treat Europe as a day out.
Play the reserves and insist our league games are played on a Saturday.

Colburn_Claret

Didn't used to mind him but after we got a point off them at Stamford Bridge he was totally unprofessional. Haven't been able to see past that since, not even when we reportedly came into our dressing room at Old Trafford to congratulate us on the point. Yet again, he's proven himself to be an arro...

Colburn_Claret

It was always going to take time to get used to the team, and the league, some fans lack of patience is irritating.
I hope it's kept in mind when Robbie and Ash get their chances. We all want them to hit the ground flying, but it very rarely happens.

Colburn_Claret

Confidence is a massive thing, I think the players really believe in themselves and the performances are starting to come, since before xmas anyway. With that belief I find it almost impossible to think that we won't get at least 2 if not 3 wins away. That said, until it is a mathematical certainty ...

Colburn_Claret

I lost count of how many times we were trying to win a header and they just jumped into us, no attempt to make contact with the ball. Gamesmanship but Dean just let it go, every ******* time.
The number of times Gray was manhandled, nothing.
Truly shocking performance.

Colburn_Claret

It has a down side.
I work with a smoggy who everytime I try to hold a conversation with him, he tells me to **** off.
I haven't even been rubbing it in.
I've never known such bad losers, and they didn't even get beat.

Colburn_Claret

Considering the season we, and him, are having, I don't see why he has to leave. A top 6 side then definitely, and I should imagine some of them will want him, but to the likes of Everton, it could be classed as a sideways move. If we are to keep him he would have to be paid what he is worth, which ...

Maybe the mods should allow posters to pay a fine to the Clarets Foundation in order to have embarrassing threads removed.
I would have changed my username and pled ignorance.

Colburn_Claret

Didn't their recruitment guy get picked off by Everton in the summer.
It's such a big thing that if you have a top class person in this job. Mahrez, Kante.

Colburn_Claret

Tarkowski proved beyond all doubt yesterday he is not in any way shape or form a central midfielder. Defour is a class act who should be played in the middle of the pitch but he strikes me as a player who wouldn't disgrace himself if we asked him to play in the nets! Whatever it is he's got it. Des...

You must not refer to the people who come up with these ideas as arseholes. Despite the fact that they are arseholes. In future could you please refer to rhem as a collection of sphincters.

Colburn_Claret

Definitely centre. Play needs to go through him rather than around him.

Colburn_Claret

Any team that recruits Lescott on a free, obviously doesn't have a pot to p*** in.
The only players Sunderland are likely to get are loans or freebies.

Colburn_Claret

Very few of our loan signings come off, for whatever reason. The only reason to take a player on loan is a with a view to buy b to improve the starting XI We seem to have had so many over the last few years that are only bench warmers, what's the point. I exclude Flannigan as he was on his way back ...

Colburn_Claret

No, but he's getting close. With Robbos experience he is perfect cover for Tom. That said when his contract is up I think we will need to reassess the whole situation. Thank Robbo, put Nick on the bench and find another young keeper to bring on. All that is assuming that nobody comes in with serious...

Colburn_Claret

Anyone think that Eddie wants the money so that he can put in a cheeky bid for Brady.

Colburn_Claret

I think he's trying to do the right thing, for the right reason, just going about it the wrong way.
It's over the top, but to do nothing, which is what previous incumbents in the White House have done, is to ignore your responsibility.

Colburn_Claret

There was someone being interviewed on the telly about him a couple of weeks ago. They said they had watched him train, not with the Clarets, and he was bone idle. They said they wanted to go and have a chat with him, and explain that he was wasting his career with his attitude. I have no axe to gri...

Colburn_Claret

I'd have liked Snodgrass, he's still a good player, but that package was always going to be too much for us. Good luck to him he's got every right to go where he chooses. It must be a real quandary for the club, the balance between the price of players then their wages. We seem to be able to afford ...

Colburn_Claret

Thank God for parachute payments

Colburn_Claret

Colburn, players don't give a hoot what situation Burnley have been in and they most certainly wont be looking into our accounts. They will be aware that we've struggled in the transfer market in previous seasons and that could be taken as an indication of our lack of desire to give it a go. Bourne...

Well that's a Dead Cert.

Not too soon I hope, he's still got to finish the job yet.

Maybe the fact we've played the "Punching above our weight" card for too long, or failed to show that we wanted to fight and stay up 2 years ago due to lack of investment in the team, now folk see us as a small t that and it's coming back to bite us! As fans of the club, we can understand why the b...

Ah well if the Croydon Advertiser says so....

Ideally business completed on the 4th January. Realistically teams need to find replacements even if they're willing to sell. Then they want to advertise the offer in the hope of creating an auction, which they can push for as long as the bids continue coming in. All we can hope is that at 11.00pm o...

Colburn_Claret

Definitely a good player, but I think filling that wide berth is more important to us. Boro will miss him, I can only imagine that his request is linked to Karanka. He does seem to have a squad of favourites and another of whipping boys. After all if they've only won one in the last nine it can't be...

Colburn_Claret

I can't see Norwich being happy at him going anywhere for reputedly 4mil less than we offered. I can't see Palace being a better prospect than us either. All records go eventually and fat Sam looks like he could have pushed it once too often. Wages apart, the hardest part of selling Burnley is the a...

Colburn_Claret

Everybody knows the price now, the rest of the day should be interesting.
I wouldn't go to boro but West Ham could be tempting. Wages will be a factor, what we really need is for Sean to make him an omelette. He could sell sand to the Arabs.

Colburn_Claret

all of them? unfortunately, thats not true. I haven't met anyone who voted leave, who had a stipulation of certain criteria being met. They voted leave regardless of the consequences. I haven't met any yet who voted leave who has regretted that vote. In the eyes of most Brexiters nothing has change...

Colburn_Claret

No, they probably won't, but then the people who voted for Brexit didn't vote for a watered down version either. It was in or out, no ifs, buts or maybes.
I accept that it is more complicated than that, but the premise that we are leaving the EU regardless shouldn't be lost.

Colburn_Claret

Lancs I agree, but it's a disaster for everybody, which is why I'm not concerned about it ever happening. I'm more concerned that any deal we reach is weakened because we carry out our arguments in public. I've never voted Tory in my life, but WE elected them. We have to trust them to do their best ...
