Enola Gay

Anyway, my stance has always been, if you need lines to prove it one way or the other, it’s neither clear nor obvious, go with the onfield call. And yes, I’d support that even if we have some close ones go against us. I’d sooner have that than some of the VAR shite we’ve had to endure this year. Th...

Opinions vary.

They all ended up in goals conceded.

Muric (5) - Did OK until the error. Which is like saying the Titanic's maiden voyage was going fine until the iceberg. You just can't make mistakes like that. Assignon (6) - Not entirely sure how he managed to get away without a booking. Ekdal (8) - Looked good until he had to go off. Esteve (8) - ...

Show me a mistake from Trafford that was worse than the ones Muric has made in the last two games please! :x Stuck in no-man's-land against Bournemouth and Fulham allowing himself to be easily lobbed, nailed to his line away at Arsenal allowing a goal from a corner, his attempt at coming for a corn...

Looking at the replay of the penalty, you could be charitable and say his view might have been obscured. That's what VAR's allegedly for, of course... As for the rest of the game there's a fine line between 'letting the game flow' and 'bottling out of making decisions' and he spent 90+ minutes doing...

We might have agreed a deal, but nothing can be completed outside of a transfer window.

I'd save your powder until there is ink on a piece of paper.

I thought we could sign who we like when we liked, just couldn't register them outside a window?

The town centre had been locked down due to large groups of teenagers gathering for a fight. Two large gangs had arranged it. Police had special powers in force. I'm not joking by the way. :D Had a quick pre-match pint in The Boot about 7:20pm and the town centre was absolutely catered for with som...

After a number of these outbreaks I anm getting increasingly concerned for Barton’s mental health. It strikes me that this self destructive mission is driven by inner demons, and the need to be in the limelight (for whatever reason) even while damaging his own reputation may suggest ADHD is playing...

Hopefully someone takes it on. I imagine the Inn on the Wharf putting live music on and drawing some of the older crowd up there hasn't helped. Was in there Saturday after the game and the barmaid said matchdays had been a lot quieter. It also won't have helped that only one of the three pubs (the ...

The *ahem* 'rivalry' was almost entirely one-sided and stoked up by mainly by their fanzine The Tea Party who realised no-one gave a stuff about Stockport so they invented a beef with Burnley just as something to hang jokes on. As said above us playing them quite often for a period helped fuel it, a...

I don’t think there’s such a thing as a ‘bad’ save. There is absolutely such a thing as ‘just’ a save though. He has a fan club who constantly tell us he’s a good/great shotstopper. I beg to differ. He’s had the odd worldly game but in general I don’t think his shotstopping is any better or worse th...

Clubs regularly do when backed into a corner as we were after missing out on BV traffords negotiating hand couldn't have been stronger at that time.

Nah, I'm good.

Thanks for your concern though.

Enola Gay

There are many things to criticise Trafford for this season.

The inability or unwillingness of whichever 10 outfield players we had on Sunday to find (or in some cases even look for) space is not one of them.

Enola Gay

I've just been trawling through to see what the lowest number of points has been from the bottom two in the Premier League in a season and found these two. 2004/05 - 45 points - West Brom (30) and Sunderland (15) 2021/22 - 45 points - Watford (23) and Norwich (22) I was wondering whether that might...

Enola Gay

Even for the recent trend on here of looking for anything to slam the club with, digging up a thread from August is pretty f*****g desperate.

You don't have to a set of complete melts all your lives lads, take a day off.

Enola Gay

There’s no surer sign of the goalkeeper debate on here finally vanishing up its own arse than people saying BPF would be an improvement on Trafford.

Sacré feckin’ bleu, go have a lie down or something.

Enola Gay

Stands the Church clock at ten to three?
And is there honey still for tea?
And is there yet another new thread on UTC about how surely this must be Muric's week to start?

Enola Gay

I understand why the result is important, but if it's the same team, playing the same way and we fluke a result, does that change anything? Yes, it gives us three points. It might also spark a bit of belief in the players to get three points in the next match. Which then sparks a bit more belief. S...

Enola Gay

I'm aware that saying we're not mathematically relegated yet says a lot about this season in itself, but for as long as we aren't actually down it's the result, then the result after that, then finally the result. If that comes as a result of a last-minute comedy own-goal after the usual suspects ha...

...We really need to start seeing some positive change, not for this season (that went ages ago) but to ready us for next. Carry on like this and things could get very ugly, very quickly. We surely can’t afford anything but a promotion push, next season

Absolutely this.

West Ham's winner at home was when the last, lingering notion that we could avoid relegation evaporated.

You just don't lose games like that and stay up.

45+ minutes of not even being close to a Premier League team, both literally and metaphorically.

A collection of absolute imposters.

It is amusing that merely the suggestion that he might want to mix up his patter from talking about Bene and Hot, is enough to set the Pacebots off into howls of outrage.

The club is not allowed to give any medical information without the players consent. However we are paying customers therefore are entitled to know the quality of the product we are paying to watch. So it is important to the if and when a player will be available. Sorry but this is rubbish. If you ...

I take Enola Gay's point that Muric might want out because this season hasn't panned out as he hoped. However, if he's kicked up a fuss and been agitating for a move, he's done it very quietly because we might have expected him to look for a move in January. He could have been perfectly happy to st...

Doesn't this underprice the possibility that Trafford is one of the most saleable assets on relegation, should we need to realise revenue? I think that overall this season Trafford has done OK, even if his weaknesses are ones that mean he probably wasn't the ideal signing for us last summer, and ha...

Trafford (5) - A young keeper who isn't yet good enough to be a PL first-choice. First goal looked to go through him, least said about the second the better. Assignon (6 ) - A rare outbreak of competence at full-back this season and a cracking cross for the first, especially his his probable wrong ...

[quote="Alan Young" I’m not convinced Muric is the answer but surely he deserves a run in the side. Currently it’s not fair on Trafford or the rest of the team who surely have lost all confidence in him.

Our current level is bottom 2 and we aren't the first; or last Club, to undergo a major overhaul between seasons and not set the League alight.

The Athletic reported some messing around with said price. An article inferred that early in the summer Saints had given us one price, we were ready to do the deal, they delayed it and doubled the price (from 10 to 20). The author commented how we were annoyed as we felt it was us who had increased...

Seen this and few places now and I appreciate I'm almost certainly missing something, but what exactly did Southampton so that was so heinous apart from set a price for their player that we didn't want to pay?

If we have to rely on the millenials of today to fight for the country we may as well throw the towel in now.

Fair point Enola but implicit to the product is the romance of being a Burnley fan. If you haven't got that you haven't got a product.

I'm not entirely happy with the way football has changed myself. It has changed though, and whether or not you embrace that change you still have to deal with the game as it is, not how you'd like it to be.

Peak UTC, this. Starts off with a fairly non-descript announcement of something that'll probably turn out to be something-and-nothing.

He's always struck me as someone with a rather higher opinion of his own abilities than his stats would suggest is merited and no qualms about sharing that opinion whether it's asked for or not.

The current roadworks have had absolutely no impact whatsoever on my ability to get to the 110 Club whenever I’ve wanted to. What has limited my visits to the 110 Club is that apart from Burnley home games I’ve next-to-no reason to consider a pint in that bit of town. I suspect that’s a bigger probl...
