No excuses in not being in the 4th round whoever we put out. We should be beating a League 2 side even with a few youngsters in.

When and at what time is the draw please.

It's NOW!

diamondpocket

Nobody else a little more concerned about the defensive side. 3 goals from crosses so far with no closing down. Liverpool's 2nd was a horror show, so open & all over the place. Centre halves to be questioned too in both games.

diamondpocket

Highlights are on Clarets+ now

Pretty awful viewing defensively and the keeper can't seem to read long distance shots
Nicely well taken goal on the plus side

diamondpocket

I reckon Nuno has learned it's better to be out of Europe that in it, it just messes with the domestic side when you're not a top 4 side with a normal squad at hand. We did well to get knocked out, we'd have been down that year had we gone to the group stages

diamondpocket

heard there's a good lad called Benson at Barnsley who's doing well and sounds promising.

That’s brilliant which side is it that you signed for? I had a great time at the Artimino Franchi.

It's mentioned just above GAND. The side is Porta Romana, 5th tier team from the outskirts of Florence.

After just listening to that French tune above, it just seems like most of the 60's guitar stuff just copied each other in the end. That riff could be so many riffs of the time. Anyway, found this little gem recently from garageland America 60's copied again from god knows how many songs. Nazz-Open ...

sounds like you've had an interesting journey; from Blackpool to Budoni!

Porta Romana and yes, played in the States.

got ya. are you still gonna play for them this year?

diamondpocket

Fpund it - was it Porta Romana? Or Firenze Ovest?

I absolutely love it here. I actually moved out here to sign for a 5th division side but unfortunately COVID cancelled the season, so now i’m just working and enjoying the lifestyle. Looking forward to catching some Serie A games! I saw this news a couple of season ago when searching for games arou...

We have seen many gimmicks over the years and maybe in other places they work but in Burnley people don't care fundamentally. If we have a winning team, good honest football, like we've seen over the past few years, with players giving it their all, and a team that is evolving and trying to get bett...

Dwight McNeil is asked to be our flying winger taking players on, he's asked to whip lots of accurate crosses in, he's asked to be our creative number 10 threading balls through, he's asked to be our set piece taker, he's asked to track back and become an auxiliary left back when we're defending......

diamondpocket

We literally wouldn't win a game playing 4-3-3 our midfield isn't good enough and have no pace, apart from Alan who sits in the stands I wasn't saying with the players we have now. We should have been building a midfield around him for the last 18 months and getting players in to suit him not getti...

Why not send Dyche an email and tell him how to rectify those apparent faults in his management. He has been here long enough to think up some other plans but clearly doesn't want to and out trust in it. But after many years, I'm sure he's had time to work on other systems & formations to change th...

how we expect 1 guy, who's our youngest player, to carry an entire team in the Premier League is ******* embarrassing. I along with others have said it a hundred times, we are the easiest team to play against in the PL. Exactly. And that is down to Dyche, not Dwight. Don't know why he isn't seeing ...

And I pay £400 for my season ticket and £50 (previously nothing) for my kid. To watch a full season of Premier League football, that's unbelievably good value. I really don't believe pricing is a major issue. because you see the value in it. Go & pay 30 quid or 50 quid for a few games individually ...

diamondpocket

Dyche has a mistrust of youth, always has had. You have to be truly exceptional to get a chance. Exactly. Because Dyche is backward and comes from the old skool method of treating youngsters. The process may have changed but the mentality is the same. Just because Barnes has earned his spurs as a P...

Long Live ALK CAPITAL, here for the working man supporter clearly!

diamondpocket

Don't think our subs made us lose the game though. We lost because we defended awfully and didn't get a 2nd goal when on top in the 1st half. Our inability to keep the ball and then just sit in and try to ride out the storm will continue to halt our progress. Our manager likes this system but we are...

Just need to bat the evening session as we have done today and see where we are regarding reaching India's total. Then, tomorrow have some fun and add to the total. 100 lead after a good morning hitting will make it a very interesting last 5 sessions.

we'll be down if we don't add to it simple as. JBG? What happens if he gets injured? Move Brownhill to the right, perfect. And if a centre mid or he gets a horror tackle and is out for a few months? It'll be reyt, we've got Stephens to come in!!!! Or Tarks can move up into midfield. You ffffing kidd...

Typical Arsenal, weak, no back bone and think they can just pass the ball in. It's the Arsenal way that they all love that Wenger, the most over-rated manager in the history of the Prem, has instilled in the club and that they think must continue! The last time they won The Prem was when? The Invinc...

Lancs out of the One Day Cup. Last over Essex were 8 down and needed 22 to win.
Lancs really messed that up.

Essex run 2 - it's a tie

3 sixes in a row have Essex needing 3 off the last ball

9 off 2 needed

Essex 8 down with 24 to win off 10 balls

Cook just gone.
25 off 15 needed for Essex

I sympathise with ya djemba as will many others despite the selfish pricks on here who think it's just cut throat business tactics. A local Premier League club just binning you away as if you are rubbish isn't the correct way to treat people who have helped you over the years. As you say, a small ac...

This thread is proof that people will whinge and whine at anything…. I'm sure you whinge & whine about things that in the grand scheme of things aren't important, it's called having an opinion, a taste, a like, a dislike.

I guess what would be nice is if the council could replace the road tarmac & fresh paint lines, and get a nice new pavement done. It doesn't look any different to when I was a kid in the 90's! Just looks scruffy

diamondpocket

Seen other pics further down the street in black, makes the area look even duller with the constant grey skies and tarmac. It'll look a right miserable road once Winter kicks in!

what time is the draw?

Remember Watford away one year in The Championship. That was a killer, think we were actually in the ground too when it was announced as being off

Not sure i'll be bothered if there isn't s new signing in midfield, which is doubtful at this point People really are weird today. You'd pay if there was a new midfielder in tomorrow, who'd have not played with his new teammates, than a team playing together for a few years with only a week before ...

Just look at the bottom half of that pic showing the turnstiles and behind them. What a mess. Premier League ground?

You can't criticise the club, you of all people should know that!

It'll be right, we've taken back control, didn't you hear about it?

diamondpocket

With the government's opening up debacle I can see a lot more games being postponed late on and players getting isolated for being in close contact with positive cases. It could well be a messy season and one where we will need to have a deep squad for these eventualities. Just look at the cricket r...

Kids football currently doesn't worry about the final score/result under a certain age. They focus purely on taking part...

They'd taken their medals off before they'd gotten to the bottom of the stairs, every single one of them in the Argentina team.

My view is Tennis is an individual sport and nothing like football.

Ah OK, so the reaction to losing is different depending on the sport. Now, we are getting somewhere.
