Win and they're on 17 points, doing well without much fanfare.

Like us two seasons ago. Good at home, rubbish away.
Basically, you just need to be good on home soil.

They only care about winning the Champions league.

I think we have a big job recruitment wise over the next 2 windows. We need 2 new young full backs on either side to replace Ward and Bardsley, a new holding/defensive CM, at least one new winger, although come summer id be tempted to offload lennon and get a replacement winger too. If Vydra's not ...

If he's that good how come he's still at West Brom and wasn't snapped up when they got relegated?

Fair enough. Mind you, with Gordon Taylor in charge no wonder he didn't answer!

Spijed

CleggHall wrote:Lennon was in a "dark place" and had mental health issues whilst at Everton. These were widely reported at the time in the press, say no more!

But that was a long time ago. Seems pointless to speak about them now unless there is something in the news.

CleggHall wrote:Lennon after a nervous start gives player's viewpoint, interesting that he had nothing to say about his "problems" and the PFA.

What problems?

ClaretAndJew wrote:Hopefully this works out but there's some negative stuff being said about him.

Something you ALWAYS get from supporters when someone leaves to go elsewhere.

Remember, there was plenty of negative stuff about Eddie Howe when he left us.

Spijed

Interesting point you make regarding 'a huge turning point'. Most of us were expecting a visit to Wembley but instead found ourselves at Filbert Street playing for 3rd place. However fast forward 12 months and only an Everton victory at Highbury prevented us going top of the league with just a few ...

I had a look this morning, as Tony says there has been work on the NE corner stand but it still looks an awfully long way off being finished.As for the SE stand well I think if thats completed by Easter next year they will be doing well.... This project appears to have been a nightmare from start t...

Think he's been the best manager in my lifetime and done unbelievable things with Burnley. Ive also seen managers come and go in the blink of an eye and think Seans time with Burnley will be the peak of his career. I think hes reached his peak with us but he has enough about him to make it long ter...

In 5 years he'll be a struggling championship manager and will then float around tier 2 with some success and some failures. Apart from the exceptional managers like Pep, Fergie, Jose most managers will have as many lows as highs cos management isn't an exact science. The key to success is getting ...

Everyone should sign up for Clarets Player since it's free. The only thing you don't get is the matchday commentary.

It's a rip-off when they charge say £1.90 for 3 hours but won't give change, knowing that most people would only have two £1 coins to put into the machine!

Why not just charge £2 in that instance?

Is there any noticeable building work in the other corner, apart from the undersoil heating machinery that was installed?

You mean he probably clicks his heels as an alternative to a handshake?

Spijed

Is there anyone out there that has a good thing to say about him?

Spijed

I've no hard feelings towards him, but you have to cut your losses at some point. I think it's fair to say it hasn't worked out and I'd be surprised if people can argue with that for the money he cost us. Really? He's played very well at times in midfield. If it hasn't worked out why has he played ...

I seem to recall Derby fans laughing their bits off at the fee, and the fact he got a premier league move. Don't seem to recall Huddersfield fans saying Arfield was particularly good, do you? It's the tribal nature of many supporters to say a player isn't that good when the player gets a move to a ...

When was the last time you ever felt confident once we went behind? Pretty much all of last season. Even against Spurs, Man City & even Chelsea, to name some of the big clubs we got back into the games and you always felt that with our watertight defence we had a chance regardless of who we played.

We'll struggle. That's what SD builds his team on, not scoring loads of goals.

Spijed

houseboy wrote:We're on the same goals per game ratio (pretty much) as last season in total and we've shipped twice as many goals. Your point is?

My point is that it's the defence & midfield that just needs tightening up, not improving our attack.

Spijed

The bottom line is that if we can tighten up the defence we will be fine.

We've scored more goals than at the same time last season.

Is £595 million even worth getting out of bed for these days?

Six weeks tomorrow - and.......

Without a doubt it would have to be a striker. People keep going on about wingers and midfielders but we need, as a matter of priority, a PL quality striker. 25m wouldn't buy much in that position but we desperately need better than we have now. Unfortunately when anyone goes on about needing a str...

Is it time to bring in an additional attacking or skills coach? Defenders seem to improve over time under SD (except for their passing) but how many attacking players that he's bought can you say SD has improved with regards to passing especially. In fact they have gone backwards! Vokes and Barnes ...

We score from set plays and people say it's hoofball.

England do it and it's brilliant football!

hmmm...

As good as this England side is you can’t bank on the back 4 and goalkeeper to keep clean sheets. It’s a weakness. When you compare even England's better defenders, such as Stones and Maguire to the likes of Ramos you realise there is still a long way to go if England are to be regular contenders i...

That's your opinion, and purely based on the PL, and our part in it. If football is doing so well how come the F.A. are trying to sell Wembley? Football exists outside the PL and Championship (both now awash with millionaires) and as a game it is struggling. Where are the grass-roots pitches for st...

To say Sky is ruining football couldn't be further from the truth. On the 15th October 1983 Arsenal lost at home to Coventry 1-0 and the crowd was? A massive 20,290! That's less than we average.

Not the point really Roy. We could become exemplars against the ever expanding behemoth that is televised football by not kowtowing to an entity that, whilst he has helped us indirectly, cares not a jot about our club or fans and will probably privately bemoan our inclusion at the expense of, say, ...

Sounds like 15 clubs will contribute leaving the £1.25m balance to be met by the PL, so that Scudamore will receive his leaving bonus. Burnley, as ever, appear to be keeping a dignified silence. Despite all the faults of the Premier League we can't have any complaints considering we've benefited en...

Ranieri, I've rated as a very top drawer manager who demands and deserves respect, even before he landed the title at Leicester. Wouldn't quite say that otherwise he wouldn't have worked in Greece prior to the Leicester gig. The top managers like Mourinho, Guardiola etc. tend to get offered the bes...

The board of BFC showed loyalty to Dyche following relegation bearing in mind that he had been working with limited transfer funds and player resources. Would they have been so forgiving if £100m plus had been spent on transfers during the previous summer? Yes. Remember, we gave Brian Laws a new co...
