Do you think Kompany signed Massengo as one for the future then? We haven’t seen much of the lad, but I hope like you that he can cut it in a Defensive midfield position next season. At least the lad didn’t cost us a small fortune unlike some of Kompany’s other players with potential. Come on Noah ...

Looked a penalty in live action and it’s a penalty on the repeat viewing. We’ve been poor this season and very much the architects of our own downfall in a lot of ways but my god we’ve had some shite decisions Agree entirely with this. Managed to watch it back now and cannot work out for the life o...

Tella's closing down set the tempo for us last season - I do get whey we didn't give Saints 20 million for him though Me too. Firstly though, well done to him. Delighted for him that he’s bagged another title and will be forever grateful for what he did for us. Now to your point, I’m struggling whe...

I guess I'm in the minority, but I just don't rate O'Shea. Yes, 100% effort, but positioning and decision making aren't good enough. We'd sell him at a loss. I don’t think we would for a minute, especially with his G/A this season and his pace stats. You look at players with experience of playing i...

He was played on the right wing in the first half and then swapped places with Bevan and went up front in the second. Set up the opener by beating his man and putting a cross in from the right. Showed some good pace, strength and dribbling in flashes. Scrapped well in defence, remember one crunchin...

How did Masara play?

NewClaret

Hadn’t realised that. Thought they’d been demoted. It does show the uphill battle we face and investment required to get to the next level.

NewClaret

The WHU coufal foul was one such crucial VAR not given that would’ve been against us. 2-0 and it’s much harder for them to stage a recovery.

NewClaret

I would only say forest away Luton at home and Villa away are games that the poor decisions by officiating has cost us. Purely because of the time left in the game, that would put us on 5 extra points and a point less each for Forest and Luton Take your point on the time remaining. Obviously that’s...

Bellamy said it wasn't a pen

Fair enough. Feel we’ve had some quite straight answers from Bellamy when he’s been filling in.

NewClaret

Watched the game on TV, in normal time without replays for me no penalty then on replays it was a penalty and then watching another angle maybe a pen and then another thought I’m not sure. I guess it wasn’t clear and obvious. I’ll have to try and watch it back. At first watch it looked like another...

NewClaret

Thought this was going to be about the Odobert penalty call today?

Not watched that back but it looked a pen to me live. Assuming it wasn’t given lack of discussion on it…

If you’re winning 1-0 you have 3 pts that’s what we lost
Please see the other posts if it’s too confusing

But we did not lose 3 points for conceding a goal since we still secured one for a draw.

No we didn't. It's just thiese righteous types that have to look for something. Hoping they hear a boo. Its pathetic.

Think it’s that we didn’t lose they have to find something else.

And Verbruggens after his error costing them a goal. The other keeper we wanred Shows how hard it is for keepers in this league I can only put it down today to mental pressure. He will never have done that in training. It's unfathomable. Just watched it back and it’s almost like he let it go across...

Wasn’t aware it was 4 for a win.

Didn’t hear any booing at all.

Been massive on muric being picked from game one this season but that mistake is indefensible it’s an absolute shocker. Larsen miss in the first half is also a shocker has to score. Foster and fofana awful, especially foster today, looked like the Foster of last season today. Brownhill with great e...

Muric’s howlers in the last two games have cost us four points and any realistic chance of staying up.

3, I think, but anyone slagging Trafford has had a mare today because he hasn’t made an error as bad as Muric’s in the last two games. No doubt about it.

NewClaret

Even the most ardent Muric fan, which I am, cannot defend that.

Muric has cost us 3 points in the last 2 games and if you’ve slagged Trafford off this season you have to also accept Muric’ failings.

Esteve emerging as one of our best players

No doubt about that. A fantastic signing.

NewClaret

I went in this week and they were queuing out the door for renewals which was a bit of a shock. Like the old days before everything was done online and in many ways nice to see despite mine being a really quick query I had to queue ages for!

NewClaret

Listened to Kompany’s presser earlier and made it quite clear he’s joining without saying it. Good news - he looks a good player and great to pick him up on a free.

NewClaret

Could turn out to be our best signing of the current crop. Brilliant player in my opinion.

NewClaret

Great interview. Even an old curmudgeon like me couldn't help but love this guy. Still don't believe he paid a load of money for shares though....! If it was me I'd say sack VK tomorrow and appoint him as manager. If he asked me to run up Pendle Hill in a mankini and a straw boater I'd be off like ...

Good post NewClaret (quoted just a portion as a response so as to not clog the thread up). Yes, I see the list you’ve given there and whilst obviously player sales will be our lifeblood to continue as we are, it’s still very much a gamble/risk that we make the return required on those to subsidise ...

NewClaret

The worry is that they might not want to throw money into the club in hopes of getting more out. So far they have put nothing into the club, and have given no indication that they ever will. Taking money out is what they do. Hence the money at group level will not filter down. Similar with fundrais...

Burnley FC refer to him as the club president in their official match programme. I’d expect the football club to be far more likely to be correct than the Burnley Express. He’s also referred to as the president in this story on the club’s website.

How odd.

NewClaret

If Talk Sport really did say “he couldn’t wait to get away” then that is total bllx. Big difference between wanting to get away and not being willing to come back.

In all honesty I think he’s a great player but not the best defensively and not what we needed in a relegation scrap.

How are financial issues manageable Paul if Burnley fail to get promoted in either of the next two seasons? Is there something I am missing?

Can they afford to sack him? I think they can't.

Think he has one year left on his deal in summer so I imagine they can if they spend £160m paying off their current debt to enable the takeover.

Correctly referred to as a Director in this article:

VP is a similar level to an associate director in a lot of places I think isn't it?

Yes, President in US corporate parlance = Director, so VP = associate director.

Rumours that Dyche will be potted if 777 get in (struggle to see that happening so likely irrelevant). Hardly motivational for the run-in though.

Out of all of those I’d have only kept only Larsen. The rest we can do better.

Really shocked at that.

I think Esteve has been outstanding and certainly possesses the physical attributes that make me feel he will be a big player for us and able to cope in the Premier League.

NewClaret

Injured, I think.

Brilliant from the referee in the Arsenal game, didn’t fall for Saka’s antics there. They’ve have spent 5 minutes looking at that in the Premier League and ended up giving it. I thought exactly the same. Watched the City match but caught that at the end and ref got it spot on. The ref in the City g...

Just wanted some info on buying a season ticket, if I buy one , can I sell my seat when I can’t travel up from the south? Yes, it’s done via the Ticket Exchange.

Thanks for that, its not a easy decision I will always want the team to do well but I don't think the owners have the supporters interests at heart its just about making more money .

Are we not having VAR from next year in the Championship?

Not according to Google. The EFL have shunned VAR even given the availability of VAR-lite as a cheaper option. I guess there’s time for that to change.

At least nine of them play for other clubs currently.

I don't expect any of Rodriguez, Cork or Brownhill to be with us next season. JBG I think has triggered a clause in his contract so can stay should he choose to. Given the reluctance at times to play Taylor, I suspect he might go too. I’d imagine you’re right on all counts. Browny I hope we won’t a...

They might have been going down with an eight points deduction if we had actually been competitive this season.

Yes, shouldn’t be overlooked by our leadership that we’re only in with an unbelievably outside chance because the two nearest teams above us have had points deducted.
