Anyone who unironically uses terms like “the PC woke brigade” is a) a Tory (or worse, such as Reform etc) and b) so divorced from reality as to be not worth listening to. Your freedom of speech extends to whining about “the wokerati” or whatever, of course, but my freedom of speech extends to label...

So "the PC woke brigade" - whatever or whoever that might be - isn't a label? I didn't notice a similarly scathing one applied to the right wing by you. No apologies from me, I'm afraid, for pointing out the underlying bias of your post(s), deliberate or otherwise. No need for any apology, it’s you...

"the PC, woke brigade who I personally feel are full of nonsense"....... "The PC woke brigade would be delighted by this!" Maybe you're right about people being "labelled one thing or another without any plausible point being made." ;) But at no point am I actually labelling anyone specifically, in...

In response to those who have basically labelled me a far right wing Tory for some bizarre reason, here is my retort - Firstly can I just remind you of the original comment that I responded to, here it is below just in case you forgot - gangs run cities with impunity, various "groups" bring towns, c...

Because the original words were hyperbolic nonsense. I just translated them into standard English.

So not being able to discipline kids for example equates to not being able to beat them?

Ampth7

The “concerns” outlined in the post you replied to were folk protesting peacefully against climate change, teachers not being allowed to beat children, and folk over-reacting to an unvarnished version of history (ie warts and all, rather than the British Empire being unimpeachably good) being taugh...

Interesting to hear from Vegas and FCBurnley’s experiences living out there. Equally, I have a friend who lives out there working as a professor and he was pistol whipped on campus for his wallet requiring him to have metal plates put in his face. The point being of course is that many peoples exper...

Exactly this. It's mad how much the 'woke lefties' get blamed even though we've had an increasingly right wing government running the country for the last decade and a half. Extreme ideologies from both the left and the right never ends well and history shows that. It’s not as simple as saying it’s...

And I'm not sure many, if any, of the "woke, political correctness ideology warriors" - if indeed they exist - carry guns......

Yes, I agree, but if you look at the comment I was responding to, I wasn’t referring to the lunatic yanks running around with guns shooting people indiscriminately!!

Ampth7

It's breaking down here, gangs run cities with impunity, various "groups" bring towns, cities,motorways etc to a stop to promote their agenda and the authorities look on, teachers threatened by parents for disciplining children, threatened with death threats if humanities is taught a certain way et...

Strange how we don't have daily threads about Cullen not playing if we are going off someone not playing who was good last season, he was about the best. Fair point! I guess fans want to see creative, flair players who clearly have the ability to do extraordinary things with the ball. Benny certain...

Ampth7

Sorry but this is rubbish. If you buy a match ticket you are entitled to entry to Turf Moor for that match. If you buy a season ticket (for this season) you’re entitled to get into Turf Moor 19 times. Nothing else. We had years of Dyche batting off injury enquiries with ‘touch and go’ and it was se...

Lots of perplexing decisions made this season most of which will never know the reason for most likely. Which is fair enough I guess because I don’t believe that I have the right to know any reasons for decisions made and my thoughts are merely observations. However, it seems reasonable to me that ...

Ampth7

Like many others, I still don’t understand why Benny never gets a game to be honest. The only thing we aren’t privy to is what’s going on in training and behind the scenes, although if this were a major problem then why even have him on the bench, which he has been on occasion in recent weeks. As ma...

Ampth7

Grabbed his calf as he went off by the looks of it which is not a good sign

Ampth7

What a chance!

Ampth7

Why didn’t Ramsey fall to the ground?? He’s got to recognise the importance of highlighting the obvious foul so even the useless tool in the VAR shed can’t miss it!!!

Ampth7

Yet another soft goal conceded after another good start!!!!!! THIS is why we are going down.

Ampth7

Great to see us fighting for every ball! Great first 25 this is

Ampth7

In fairness, every chance we could lose today regardless of any team selection available to us! I just hope we make it as hard as possible for them to score by not conceding yet ANOTHER soft goal or three and I hope we get into them instead of sitting off and awaiting our fate!
Come on Burnley!!

Ampth7

Statisticians have a phrase “regression to the mean” which would support your theory about the table never lying. However, that would only apply if we played hundreds more games. 38 games isn’t statistically enough for chance not to have a big say. That is proven by today’s news about the clubs tha...

Ampth7

And still we beat them but the referee decided they scored an equaliser. Actually I think Burnley really aren't that bad as the table points out. We could have easily have had the same amount of points Luton have. We got unlucky but there are some things in the transfer window we could have done be...

Ampth7

I think the combination of transfers that haven’t paid off (yet), with the naive belief that we were somehow going to dominate possession the way we did last season has killed us. We basically started the season with the game plan of trying to dominate, trying to play out from the back at all times,...

Ampth7

Interesting to hear people’s thoughts on how they are feeling about the club and football at present. I’m not sure that I know the answer, although I suspect one answer could be the commercialisation of the game leading to a severing of the close links to fans that used to exist. What do I mean by t...

Ampth7

Personally, upon watching our performances in recent weeks, we look very low on confidence, which is understandable, but it has made us way too passive especially when defending. Prior to us conceding yesterday’s goals, which were both awful goals to concede, we had very much conceded overall posses...

Ampth7

Pretty clear what the long term plan is and what we are trying to do. Kompany has name dropped Brighton several times and commented on how ‘this club doesn’t want to be one just hanging on every year’. Basically can we get to Brighton’s level (consistent top half finishes, winning their Europa Leag...

Ampth7

Awful performance overall but at least we showed something resembling fight to somehow get a draw. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the next transfer window will be vital if we are to regain promotion again next season which is far from certain as things stand.

Ampth7

Well, I’m sorry, but this is the worst performance of the season IMO. Just awful and rightly booed off the pitch

Ampth7

Subs NOW please! Hook Ramsey and Vitinho

Ampth7

Lost for words tbh with you. Apologies, that’s negative……..we’re doing really well!!

Berge very deep

Looks like Ramsey in the 10 and Amdouni off the right

Looks that way

Do you think the fans could turn today if we don’t win? I think the atmosphere/ support has been quite remarkable given how bad we’ve been all season. Interesting question. I guess time will tell, but I think the fans will stick with it off of the back of last season along with the fact we have sig...

Ampth7

Do or die today me thinks. Simply must win!

Ampth7

Just shows what a ridiculous world we live in when Bellingham could be done for basically saying it how it is!

Ampth7

Trafford Ekdal. Esteve. O’Shea Assignon. Cullen. AAD Brownhill. Berge Fofana. Foster 5-3-2 to try to stop us conceding more than 2 goals per game whilst maximising the potential pairing of Foster and Fofana up top. I am aware that AAD at left back isn’t ideal but I’m assuming Taylor is out injured f...

Yes, that’s really tough for the lad and his good lady. Wishing them all the best

Positives, for this season, no…………unless we somehow now go on a 8 game winning streak which I would suggest is highly unlikely. Sorry, not being negative, and whilst we play some nice football at times, it’s results that matter in the end, and not pleasant comments from opposing managers stating how...

Ampth7

Perhaps they realise that being at Burnley is just a short term project as far as they are concerned. As soon as they show promise and increase their player value they will be sold on for a profit. Which is fine by me owing to the fact that other clubs have made this strategy a success. However, wh...

Ampth7

Fair play to Luton, they are giving themselves a real chance of survival owing to the fact they are a team greater than the sum of their parts and they really know how to defend and press…….which we don’t!

Ampth7

New signing in Esteve? Benson staying put for now? What’s not to like if both stories are true?
I really hope Benny gets a fair crack on that right wing assuming he’s fit and ready to go. Sub appearances might well be the way forward with him much like last season.

Ampth7

I watched City cut Spurs open at will last night and thought if they play like that against us it could be embarrassing then I watched Maidstone beat Ipswich i thought if we get some of their luck and play with their second half spirit we might at long last end our abysmal record against City or is...

Ampth7

Won’t be seeing any Ipswich Town shirts out and about for a while!

Fair play to Maidstone!!

Ampth7

If we can stop conceding 2/3 goals per game and if we can start scoring more than 1 goal per game, then yeah sure, we can do it!!! 🤣 Seriously though, joking aside, I’m personally not seeing anything in our performances on the pitch to suggest a dramatic turnaround is imminent. I really hope I’m wro...

Ampth7

In response to the OP………no

Ampth7

This is currently what I’m expecting. Players leaving in the summer: Muric Roberts (if not Jan) Delcroix/Beyer I suspect one of them to leave and McNally take there place. Taylor Brownhill Berge Tresor (loan) Odobert Amdouni Foster Weghorst Obafemi Twine Redmond Benson (signed by whatever club he’s...

Ampth7

It depends on your perspective, we are that bad if you’re comparing us to the other established Prem sides, yes. We’re 19th best team in the country with a squad stronger than all the teams in the league below, so as you say we’re in a pretty good position on the whole. We’re in an envious position...

Ampth7

We really arent THAT bad. Weve thrown away late goals to West Ham, Luton and Villa along with VAR costing us in a couple of those along with the Forest game. Theres been far worse teams than us and Luton in recent seasons. We just lack experience, ruthlessness and a right back. The league table doe...

A header apparently. I think he's playing as a number 10. He was always on the left wing for Hull and that is definitely not his position.

Agree. Do we know if his loan deal gives Bristol an option to buy at the end of the season?
