Papabendi

One of those players who you thought had it to play a level or so up had he maximised his ability. Sounded like a problematic character with a bit of a drinking issue.

You really would take your own pie to a football match?

I've seen it done. There are some cheapskates out there

Papabendi

I thought we lacked identity and experience last night. Too many players jettisoned too quickly who were the bedrocks of success last season and have earned the chance in this one, at least initially, to show what they can do. Kompany is clearly ruthless but I hope he hasn't upset the spirit and tog...

Be good to see Foster score a goal

Just watched episode one. One thing I learned was that I was under the impression VK was already appointed before relegation, regardless of the outcome, but here it shows that in fact a decision on the new manager was made after going down. Pace was certainly impressed with VK and says he was in Be...

BK brought in Andrew Watson as general manager (later chief exec)

The Count.

Finland and The Faroes will be upset.

Finland isn't part of Scandinavia. It is a part of Northern Europe.

Got Brownhill in the end, only signing that window.

Very much second choice and I believe a signing Dyche wasn't all that keen on. Dyche apologised to Rigg later on that one.

Papabendi

Top signing I reckon. Upgrade on current midfield options. Sheffiled United statment is weird, uses phrases like "With immediate effect" - as if it was a manager sacking. Also states they've "accepted Burnley''s latest undisclosed offer".... I hope they're not disappointed when it does get disclose...

Papabendi

we are just getting much much better in this area. Simple as that really.

Papabendi

I remember hearing something about that but they went in with a really big bid for him didn't they? That quickly put an end to it. We actively pursued him all window and thought we had secured him. Unfortunately it ended up being another miss as was often the case with transfers in that era. What a...

Signing confirmed

we were after him in the Jan 2020 window and I believe quite close until Sheff Utd blew us out of the water.

Papabendi

Looks like we are set for another long thread on Wout Weghorst.

Leave it chaps, he's not worth it.

Papabendi

. Rawtenstall had that awful precinct for years before it was flattened. Even with nothing on that land, its still MILES better than it was before. Its now a rotational community space and looks beautiful. I think the Lions volunteers look after all the gardening and planters for it] Civic Pride lo...

Papabendi

I think that if there's a question mark over Berge, it's not so much why are Sheff Utd selling, but more why is noone else in for him at £12-15m in a market when Scott McTominay is being touted for £40m. Sheff Utd want every penny for him and clearly they've failed to get an auction going even at a...

Papabendi

Good business. The lad gets a wage bump. We get protection in the transfer market. I suspect there will be a release fee pre agreed now.

Papabendi

his scrap with Adrian Littlejohn.

Papabendi

very impressive pedigree, it has to be said. if we are going to recruit based on who is a Burnley fan (inference of poster above) we will be fishing in a relatively small pool.

For me the top striker in last years the Championship-yes ahead of Gyokeres !!. At £15m that's a great deal for Marseilles

its 15M Euro.

Papabendi

I think Kompany moved on from Maatsen a while ago. Not good enough defensively.

Papabendi

rescinded goal against Aldershot?

Steve Harper was always the player targeted by the fans but he fit into Mullen’s style perfectly in the Fourth Division.

Certainly when he first came, but he turned into a bit of a favourite a level up.

If you check the stats for the 2019 Ashes they are the opposite way around and we were very lucky to win the series.

we didn't win the 2019 series, we drew and Australia retained the Ashes.

Papabendi

The £900m is a minimum expected earnings - it could be rather more if conditions/targets are met/exceeded It probably has an escalator mechanism in it to get to the total - not unlike we see in the longer TV deals When I posted this on the MMT this morning I mentioned the potential issue that prosp...

Just heard R4 say Jimmy Anderson wants to get to 700 test wickets. Only 13 more, I think was said.

13 more seems quite a way away right now.

the only ones that come to mind are Club Secretary Matt Williams and Director of Operations Doug Metcalfe

Thompson was an ALK hire.

Papabendi

This England team has become pretty good at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Papabendi

Has announced he's leaving

Papabendi

Anderson has been picked with the expectation of a different outcome but unfortunately the same result so far in each test - just not threatening at all. Strange to see his bowling be so anodyne. Like watching a different player.

Papabendi

His economy might be good, but his average per wicket is in the 70s Vs his career average of around 26. No, it's been a poor series for him and we should stop dressing this up. Wickets win matches.

Papabendi

Not ideal in terms if wickets, but certainly hasn't been poor. The Aussies this series have pretty much refused to play shots or score off him. Optiing to see him off, that in itself makes it more difficult to take wickets. Probably was under-cooked in the first test, like a few of the team... The ...

Papabendi

I have to admit to being surprised not to see Tongue in there given that surely he is the future now and would profit from playing in this kind of game. By all accounts the Aussies did not enjoy facing him at all and it would allow us to have out and out pace at two ends. I am Jimmy's biggest fan bu...

Papabendi

so we have a few examples. Exception rather than the rule,

Papabendi

i was being somewhat sarcastic. It is not ideal but Norwich are the exception to the rule in all of this really,

It's just anything to have a go at the club with you. Perhaps you don't like the lack of control,

My house overlooks the Skipton portion so would be good to know when he's this way

would you happen to be the one with the big Burnley flag in the back garden? (cycled the route last year)

Papabendi

Clarespic is still managing to confuse two very different issues

Papabendi

Can only agree. Clarerspice is indicating a poor understanding of the game here

Papabendi

has an avg of around 21 and is out bowling Jimmy so far in this series.

Papabendi

Jimmy sadly looking like a bowler close to lights out. Desperately hoping he can turn it around.

Papabendi

great to see the investment going in

Papabendi

Big thank you to whoever first mentioned The War On Drugs. Just watched an hour of them on catch up. They were excellent and I’ve already put their last two albums on my wish list, along with Tom Grennans first two and one from Christine and the Queens. I love Glasto, my introduction to bands I’ve ...

Bumped into Gerry Harrison in the Robin Hood pub in Swinton just before his move to Sunderland. Got the impression he felt it was a move he had to make but he wasn't looking comfortable about it. Suffice to say he couldn't seem to get his career going after that. Wonder if he felt he should have sta...

One of them was about Eddie Howe. Most of you will know I was pleased to see him leave but always defended his decision to return to Bournemouth, the reason now exposed by Clive in the book.

was the reason not the one publicly stated?

Papabendi

Pay it and move on provided it is a legitimate company. These things happen, Anosying but forgotten about quickly

Papabendi

What happened to this? Did I miss it?
