Keeps timing out and generally very slow again.

I've just voted and seen that Muric has the most votes at the minute! Unbelievable!

Who on earth was better than him?

Swizzlestick

I’d be happy for him to leave. We have a bloated squad and he hasn’t done enough. He’s a very ‘streaky’ player who can have good spells but then you see nothing from him for large swathes of the game. And I mean nothing.

Unfit, undisciplined. Does he really want to be a footballer?

You do wonder. You’d think this would have been a great loan move for him too to kickstart things.

Swizzlestick

Left out of the Millwall squad today due to “discipline” and because they “aren’t looking to sign him”.

Muric 7 - kept it from being a cricket score, at least tried to get us playing with mixed results Assignon 5 - unbelievably erratic - sublime to the ridiculous O’Shea 5 - tried, but he’s v limited Esteve 4 - got given the run around Vitinho 4 - ditto Cullen 5 - outmuscled Brownhill 4 - looked nowher...

Swizzlestick

You’ve just described established PL teams like Man United, Brighton, Wolves and Chelsea (where we played with 10 men for a good proportion of the game - something that must have been lost in the edit) as ‘dross’. You’ve either gone supremely arrogant, which I doubt, or you’re not thinking straight ...

Swizzlestick

It means he’s producing better performances than Trafford. And our form is better too. You’re the one who’s being all weird about it. Most can see that Trafford was kept in too long and it’s severely cost us. And to reiterate, that’s not Trafford’s fault. He wasn’t ready, we remedied it but probably...

Swizzlestick

Hasn’t Muric been in the Premier League team of the week something like four times? You can admit you’re wrong, it’s fine.

Ha, you're all correct. I'd manage to completely forget we play Forest. Put that down to a blurry Saturday morning.

Ha, I know the feeling.

We could win all three of our games and go down if Forest get 7 more points. It isn’t in our hands.

It is impossible to win our three games and Forest to get 7 points. Because we play them. So, arbitrary, farcical points appeal decisions aside, it very much is.

Swizzlestick

Speaking to a Wednesday supporting mate at work yesterday and hadn't realised there was a particular hatred by the Sheff clubs for Forest - it makes sense geographically i suppose. I just hope it means there's a bit more fire in Utd's belly than would normally be expected of a club already relegate...

Swizzlestick

Will artists and promoters want to use them again though? I imagine somebody like Olivia Rodrigo won’t want to be associated with a venue that was willing to press ahead and open despite obvious safety issues. Never mind the logistics and money that have probably already been dedicated for such a sh...

I suppose you could have the utterly ridiculous scenario of pot all 15 reds with one shot then the white goes in - 4-0 to opponent with just the colours left

Opponent pots yellow, green, brown and blue - 18-0, snookers required.

I would imagine it defies the laws of physics, like…

Swizzlestick

Listening to Vardy after the game they are firmly going for the 100 points. He's a frustrated man, obviously doesn't feel he's contributed enough this season. He won't be on the beach. Vardy would run himself into the ground in a meaningless friendly, but most of the others would be forgiven for no...

Swizzlestick

There is still a reasonable chance they could be relegated at the weekend. Rovers have Leicester at home which I would expect them to lose. A win for Birmingham and Plymouth, who both have home games and a draw for Sheff Wed who are away at Sunalan and the trap door to third tier football swings op...

Do we know why it has all gone quiet on the outcome of the appeal. I thought it was imminent two days ago?

It was expected middle of this week, so today or tomorrow.

They'll get two points back because the whole process is a farce.

Swizzlestick

Worth bearing in mind Leicester, who were meant to ‘walk’ this league, let a 12 point lead slip and only just confirmed their promotion with a few games spare. Leeds, arguably the best squad on paper, may not even make top 2. Think there needs to be a bit more respect afforded to a league that has c...

Swizzlestick

While there is an undoubted gulf between the Premier League and Championship, PNE fans were saying that was one of their worst performances in quite a while, even suggesting some had downed tools. While the manager has them about par in the league, he's very unpopular with a lot of the support.

Swizzlestick

That final red by Higgins one of the best shots I’ve ever seen. Unbelievable.

Swizzlestick

Much better tonight. Really good snooker and close finishes in both Higgins v Allen and Lisowski v Bingham.

Swizzlestick

He’s hard bloody work but I can’t remember him doing anything ban worthy.

Swizzlestick

Muric's presence on corners and crosses has also been a massive plus for us too. He can be wayward but it's still so much more than what we were getting from Trafford. His distribution can be off, but it's high risk so it's going to be on occasion - the speed of his distribution and ability to find ...

Swizzlestick

Poor tournament so far, not helped by some big names dropping out early (or sometimes not even qualifying) and some strange scheduling. Probably also not helped comparing to last year where Brecel delivered one of the all time great WC wins imo. Hoping things pick up now we're getting to the busines...

As mentioned above, do try and book a tour of the Reichstag. It’s free and well worth your time. Burgermeister is good for…burgers but a bit hyped up so can get busy. Kreuzberg has gentrified somewhat but it’s still easy to end up in some sketchy areas so just have wits about you if you end up there...

The Jewish Museum is outstanding - the building itself is an absolute work of art.

Try and get into Berghain. Sunday morning your best bit, dress in black.

Great band.
The Pulse gig (Earls Court, 1994) is available on You Tube. Almost 2.5 hours long.
And very good it is too.

That gig has the best rendition of Comfortably Numb they've ever done (or certainly that I've heard). Gilmour's ending solo is out of this world.

He’s been a real credit to the club and the town.

Anyone mentioned the night club at the bottom of the bus station in Burnley, now a dentist but can't remember the name?

At a fuction last night where someone said there was a 'club' in Nelson above the Zoo/Lord Nelson pub?

I remember Afterlife being near the bus station

Swizzlestick

This might be a clever ploy by Forest ensuring if there are any 50/50 VAR decisions in their next 4 games, then they may get the benefit as the authorities will not want a repeat and further criticism. Forest will also know we play them in the final game, and that game could well be a decider of wh...

Sherwood is a new level of ignorant. It’s clear he doesn’t even do an ounce of research for his role and just wings it essentially. It isn’t good enough and should be called out more by those who choose these pundits in the first place.

Swizzlestick

Is this any different to Dyche's reticence to talk about injury lay offs? It was a long running joke on here when he used 'touch and go' and 'back on the grass' and you wouldn't see a player for months. With the Koleosho injury, Kompany said he was out for a while but couldn’t share the ‘medical det...

Ah sorry thought you meant the new chairman

Yeah i think Bill was referring to Garlick. He got on well with Pace, who is quite personable and no doubt the brand new contract helped.

Swizzlestick

Was never aware of any issue with the chairman. I was always quite surprised at how well they seemed to get on. There were widespread reports of a serious breakdown in relations as 2020 wore on. He was openly critical about the lack of progress re player contracts (and no doubt critical behind the ...

This Everton side are better than most of Dyche’s Burnley sides. Particularly in central midfield and upfront with Calvert Lewin. This thread is abusing them but they will stay up easily. They just aren’t pretty. Dyche has done well with the resources at his disposal. This league is brutal. Stay up...

Swizzlestick

You know things are not going well when Dyche goes for triple sub at HT. Worrying one for him this game as these are the type of teams he’d usually relish playing - obviously Palmer is on fire but there’s been a lot of naive performances from that Chelsea team this season and he’d be looking to make...

Swizzlestick

There was a clip of Pickford after the last Euros where he went back home to see his family etc and he came across as a very grounded, down to earth lad. He’s a moaner on the pitch and a bit of a character but I think the game needs a bit of that.

Swizzlestick

Didn’t Gyokeres turn down West Ham? Moyes watched him repeatedly. I get the annoyance over missing out on transfers but there has to be an element of realism.

"Michael owed me that goal today – I’ll leave it at that, for why" - interesting quote from their manager.

Interesting that James Anderson doesn't make the list of 98!

He’s in the separate sportsperson category at the top. I imagine the others are ‘miscellaneous’.

Swizzlestick

Doesn’t Howe like to play quite a possession based style? Pope played the way he did here because he was told to. Excellent players are often pretty adaptable, which is what Pope is. I’m not saying his distribution is necessarily as good as Muric, but he certainly has enough about him to play out.

I haven't looked at the 'rate the players' thread, but not surprisingly Ekdal looked very rusty yesterday. The further away he is from our goal, the more confident he looks, but for a defender, I'm not sure that is a great recommendation.

I thought Ekdal played very well yesterday.

Looks really dangerous at the front of that stand behind the goal in the Leverkusen game.
