True Romance and La Haine are my top two but doubt you haven't already seen these

Assuming we don't pull off a miracle and survive what are your top 3 hopes for things to be true by the time we start next season. Try and be realistic and it doesn't matter if what you hope to happen is seen to be positive or negative. For me (in order of importance) it would be 1 VK is still in ch...

Correct! And I bet you were stupid enough to support it at the time even though we in the Stop the War Coalition were laughed at, at best, or called, inevitably, traitors. Another "told you so".

Originally (as there was no netting) after a goal was scored it was a race to retrieve the ball with the first person to jump on it getting to restart the game for their team anywhere from within their own half of the pitch. In the mid 19th centaury Montague Bertie (Earl of Abingdon) didn't think th...

Would be mental to swap Ramsey for Benson when we're 1-1 at half time. Ramsey is doing a massive amout of work and bringing Benson on now could put more pressure on our defence than it would theirs.

Definite change if we go behind or get to 70 mins level but not now

Devils_Advocate

Deserved to be level as but for Traffords shocking error we've been really good today. I might regret saying this with 45 mins to play but how much more solid and Premier League like do we look with this back for and Berge and Brownhill playing a traditional two man midfield in front of them. If the...

My main concern about Trafford is that if we go down Im not sure we'll be able to keep hold of him and we'll probably have to settle for our money back or only a small profit.

New material required. Up the Clarets' very own version of Bernard Manning these days.

Thanks, thats quite high praise considering this messageboards demographic and the (lack of) progressive attitude of a fair chunk of its posters

Devils_Advocate

A new ground out towards Hapton and Huncoat off the A56 somewhere would be amazing but I can't see it happening anytime soon. If it does happen I think it will more than likely be funded and driven from the rise of Burnley FC Women as I think in the next 5-10 years the women's game will become as po...

Villa's 4-3 win away at Derby in '92 is my personal favourite. Brilliant end to end actioned packed game which had everything including a brilliant Dwight Yorke hat-trick

Always dismissed the Pet Shop Boys as a bit of a throwaway 80's tacky electro pop band.

The ridiculous thing was that they counted in extra time, giving Spurs an extra 30 mins to score one. The tie should have ended at 90 mins with us having one more away goal than they had. Still, those were the rules and we knew them. In general the rule to go to extra time instead of away goals fav...

Devils_Advocate

I thought it was a clear foul and was shocked that VAR didn't rule it out but reading this thread has made me realise that maybe it wasn't such a clear cut decision as I thought and once the ref has allowed the goal its probably the right decision for VAR to not overrule. Still think the ref was wro...

I'm getting dragged along to a dinner party this weekend and wanted to get some good old UTC's advice on what kind of topics get discussed so I can brush up on them?

I gotta agree with New Claret here. I would love to see the club work with the council to get a massive mural of Mr Pace adorning the side walls of the Culvert as you walk under towards the ground from town. Maybe have Mr Pace on one wall and then either JJ Watts or Kompany on the other side with "M...

It's had 5 years. How much patience do we have to give?

I see VAR as a bit like Brexit in that it divides people, is very contentious and that to paraphrase a certain Mr Rees-Mogg the overwhelming opportunity from this decision will be seen over the next 50 years.

Devils_Advocate

VAR is very frustrating and although it gets most of the decisions right it still makes some big mistakes. That said I think we just need to be patient with it and give it time to bed in as I think given time it will come good and in the future people will look back in horror about how we used to ma...

Think he'll be a very good player for us but he definitely doesn't look like the player to bring on when you go 5-4-1 to defend with your lives.

Devils_Advocate

I have no idea how that didnt get referred back to the ref and then called a foul. At first I thought Trafford might have run into him but its obvious the Luton player deliberately blocked Trafford and if the ref hasn't spotted it then its a clear and obvious mistake. I was actual quite calm looking...

i personally dont think we would be where we are now if it wasnt for Steve. thought he did a great job of stabilizing us at a difficult time You can say that about of our managers for the last 30 years.

Very good in bits today and has a big future ahead at Burnley. This season is a little to soon but I think there is a reason we might see someone like Benson move on whilst in the nest 2 or 3 years we see Zaroury grow into a top Burnley player. Have some patience and let VK grow him and use him at t...

Devils_Advocate

I completely agree! We're of course playing at a higher level - my entire point is that if this is our play style there's gonna be hairy moments but just ride with it? It's at least entertaining... IMO we'd have more points on the board playing more like this than the way we did early season anyway...

Devils_Advocate

It’s not DA - I really thought his inclusion was apparent and why we managed to be much better at playing through a press - it seemed to be that the defence was much further spread out in possession and just looking at Sofascore it backs it up. I think it’s all points why we looked a bit more like ...

Put it this way if Trafford throws that ball out to Amdouni and is grounded by the return strike he would be absolutly crucified on here by some of the posters sticking up for Muric. (again this is from one of Murics biggest fans)

Devils_Advocate

Is this thread a joke. I absolutely adored Muric last season and used to argue regularly why at the England level having a keeper who could use his feet was more important than what Pope offered (Pope was everything we needed in the Dyche years and I honestly wouldn't have swapped him for another ke...
