Brilliant game..... and watching the referee's performance shows how poor the standard is in the premier league... he's been on top of everything - not fallen for the play acting, or the gamesmanship - just in control, and spot on. The referee contributed to it being a fantastic game. By the second...

ArmchairDetective

Glad to hear that JBL and Esteve look to be signing.

Not overly fussed if we lose the rest, though you'd like to think all three of them would be decent enough to perform well in the Championship. Big money though. We can probably find cheaper hence signing Sambo instead of Assignon.

ArmchairDetective

Just wanting to clarify what we know/feel about the situation with our loan players upon relegation (or survival if you're still optimistic!). Assignon - understand we can buy if we stay up otherwise he goes back to parent club Esteve - seem to recall we have an agreement to buy regardless of divisi...

Luton will go down in a much better financial position than we are .....! They will only lose players if those players want to leave. They are in the same kind of position as we were when we went down with Dyche in 2014/15. Sheffield United have all kinds of issues. The chaos at Everton/Forest if t...

ArmchairDetective

Out of the possible team's that could go down with us who are the other two along with ourselves you'd want Sheff Utd and Luton. For reasons already said - I think we'll be better than both next season. To anyone thinking we'll be closer to the relegation zone than the top - give your head a wobble...

ArmchairDetective

I don't mind tackles that you used to get away with being red cards. Football is a short career.

But we need more done to stop blatant cheating and diving such as players going down when someone puts a hand on their shoulder. Ruining the game.

ArmchairDetective

Dyche knows how dreadful is our defending of set pieces and will play on that. That's my worry. Otherwise I think we can outplay them. My thoughts on this game exactly. They're a big team. We could easily play very well but concede from a couple of set pieces. Still looking forward to probably our ...

ArmchairDetective

I am not familiar at all with the ins and outs of how a coaching team works, but I don't see why we need a set piece coach when we have one of the Premier League's best ever centre backs as our manager. I don't know who they are but I can't see how their knowledge/skill could be better than VK's.

ArmchairDetective

Not earning their money at the moment. Shocking from throw in's as well. We look clueless.

ArmchairDetective

Damn. Was hoping we wouldn't have one this weekend.

ArmchairDetective

How many points have we dropped because of inaccurate refereeing/VAR decisions ? I have lost count. The more shocking bit is how many points have we gained benefiting from inaccurate refereeing decisions. It should balance out. But my honest guess is 0 points. No wonder people mention bias/conspira...

ArmchairDetective

Just to put his age into context, he's three years behind Olise for example. Two years behind Cole Palmer. Five years behind McNeil. He's doing very well to be putting in even half decent performances in the Premier League at 19 years old. He must have a high ceiling for sure. No certainties he reac...

Thankfully Huddersfield doing their best to keep up with them.

Now looking at Birmingham to get a result against PNE.

Probably last season. Not old enough to have seen our glory years.

Glad to see Jean Louis Valois mentioned. For some reason he was my first thought but doubted anyone would suggest him.

Defour has always been divisive on this forum.

ArmchairDetective

Seems like there's two separate points here. This season has been terrible to watch. 2 home wins, can't keep a clean sheet, heads going down etc etc. In terms of entertainment value and competitiveness quite possibly the worst season I've seen as a Burnley fan. I wasn't around for the 86/87 season, ...

ArmchairDetective

I share ClaretTony's concerns about using supermarket car parks. Maybe nip in and buy something cheap, a sandwich, chewing gum, drink for the journey back, anything. They can't give you a fine if you're a paying customer and leaving the car park within the allocated time frame.

I can't wait to drive around and litter the roads with my cheap little plastic Made in China car flags.

What about littering the streets with Burnley flags made in Blackburn, or with pie wrappers made in Preston?

ArmchairDetective

The age old question of club or country is doing the rounds on twitter. Thought I'd see where people are at on here. 1) Would you rather Burnley stay up this season or England (or your alternative country) win the Euros this summer? Choose one. 2) Would you rather Burnley win the FA Cup next season ...

I was looking forward to a season in the Championship again. Oh well, all aboard the Premier League survival train.

Nice to have a little hope, even if the odds are against us.

Muric had a great game yesterday. His saves kept us in front. Trafford may have done similar. Muric's distribution is outstanding. It's the pace and timing of his distribution as much as anything. Trafford is a good keeper but takes far longer to distribute the ball, allowing the opposition to reset...

ArmchairDetective

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Both Muric and Trafford have strengths. But we've needed Muric's strengths all season. Very glad to see him in the net today. Made a difference.

Did you win or lose?

Which side are you on?

There was no mention of a twix. But I'm over the moon with the result today. I'm always on Burnley's side.

I wonder what the next surprise will be.

ArmchairDetective

It's all scripted for Mission to Burnley 2, we are deliberately sh1t so the end of the documentary is spectacular as we roar into action and destroy every team in front of us. Failing that Foster on the bench. Well it won’t be Muric in goal. Well well well, maybe Vincent has more surprises up his s...

ArmchairDetective

Won't lie I was hoping this would be a more lighthearted thread. I had a bet with myself that a twix would be mentioned in the first 5 replies

ArmchairDetective

Come on then, what are we all hoping for?

I'll go for a return of the half time pie and peas entertainment game to really brighten the spirits

ArmchairDetective

I've accepted our fate for a while now, but it would be nice to see us put up a fight between now and the end of the season. We have a few games coming up where if we manage to get a couple of wins it might start to reignite some hope, and I'll get behind us all the way. But we really need to start ...

Doubt I'll be tuning in much. Change of format for revenue, not the viewer.

ArmchairDetective

He's not the first player that's had an underwhelming first season in the Premier League. There's a good player in there. He was our top target in the summer for a reason. I hope he stays, as long as he's up for the fight.

ArmchairDetective

Thought he led the line on his own very well. Managed to make something out of very little on a few occasions in that second half. I'd be surprised if he fancied a season in the Championship having played in the Champions League and Bundesliga in the first half of this season, but stranger things ha...

ArmchairDetective

Considering our position in the league we gave a good account of ourselves today. Timing of their first goal was frustrating. Not a performance to be negative about but not winning does still feel like another nail in the coffin.

I hope this was posted with irony. Absolutely comical post.

My prediction all week for this game has been that West Ham will give us lots of the ball then take advantage of our weaknesses in both boxes, scoring a couple on the counter. Let's hope I'm wrong as it looks a decent start.

ArmchairDetective

High hopes, low expectations.

Was just thinking the same thing, Buxton. Interesting seeing teams make the same mistakes we do but not get punished. Highlights the huge difference between the Premier League and the Championship. But makes me feel that we'll be more than alreet again next season

If Carlsberg fancied doing two games today for us, this is the other.

I don’t need to chill pal. Whilst you lot are laughing at those clowns down the road you are conveniently ignoring how useless we are.

Yeah, but look at the Championship today ………..no VAR, and some cracking matches…………Cardiff Ipswich for example………rather than wanting something to end, look forward to something much better………!

Aye. Already looking forward to it. Can only be better than this season.

And they could celebrate those 2 goals without some numpty miles away trying to find any infringement no matter how small to rule them out.

Did I see somewhere that the championship will get VAR at some point? Hopefully not anytime soon. Much better league without it.

ArmchairDetective

Could do with Leicester getting out of this league if/when we are to drop this season. Similar for Leeds I guess. Think we'll have the beating of most of the rest.
