There was a few of them there by the looks of things CP. sure you’re on the case.

Good stalking CP. How on earth do you find these things? So some interesting info on Brett: 1. He’s ex Dell. So there’s that Dell link again. Whether that’s coincidence, old mates, whatever, or something more relevant who knows? 2. He’s written 40 books and is a best seller. Amazon tells me they’re ...

Pretty low now, I would have thought.

All I can say is that mine are never ever that we will beat the top 8 or so in the league. I always go in to them expecting a loss. Below that I’m a bit more hopeful and confident.

NewClaret

I think we will have to do fantastically well in the loan market this Summer. It worked last time but there are no guarantees. Re:the OPs question. however marvellous last season was I still would have preferred SD to get us back up and keep us up. He knew all the top British pros that play for the...

NewClaret

The off field stuff is all takeover related, which had happened by the time Dyche left, so we were facing in to that in any event. Squad-wise I think we’re worse off, no Pope, Mee, Tarks or McNeil and still have Weghorst but out on loan. It’s clear we don’t have that experience or quality now. That ...

36 games in, when will our system start working?

Personally I think it has since January.

I don’t expect this system or any system will regularly beat the big boys in this league though, so perspectives will always depend how your expectations are set.

NewClaret

Very interesting summer ahead. If the majority of the players are with us next season and get back up, possibly. If as I suspect there is another merry-go-round of players then no. At the moment we seem to have a set of players who play for Burnley but don’t really look like they buy into the Burnl...

NewClaret

Our defense Roberts and Taylor should have played more. Muric as our no. 1 all season. Plenty of games Cork would have been great even just to see out games. We have dumped over 20 points from winning positions. Tean selection and use of Subs / Game management has been the real issue. That falls to...

Leeds won’t sign Roberts

No it’s a bit of a challenge.

Him and his missus seem to have quietened down the social media courting of Leeds since it was leaked they’re not interested in him.

Prepared to be shot down on this in 12 months’s time but if you think the remnants of this bunch of bottle jobs are romping the Championship as easily as some people think, I have a bridge in London to sell you.

Eh?

Ashton Gate, Carrow Rd etc vs Anfield and Old Trafford ? It does not compare

Depends if you like being competitive or visiting big grounds?

NewClaret

I think the squad balance/transfer dealings weren’t good enough. Too inexperienced, too many attacking fwds. I understand the need for resale value but could we not have sacrificed a few of them for a Prem experienced CB, CM & CF? Maybe I’m being final unrealistic, but it had better chance of insta...

NewClaret

How many times have we seen it this season, home or away? We start off well for 15-20 mins but miss our chances, other team goes down the other end score with their first meaningful attack, we capitulate... To be fair, I think our biggest chance was a certain pen that wasn’t given. You can’t really...

NewClaret

Saw him play a game earlier in the year for Millwall and he was a constant threat and their best player I thought. Think he’d have a great year if playing in a team creating more chances.

Wow. Just seen the Haaland second penalty on MOTD. Can somebody tell me how that is any different to the Assignon one today? It's identical yet at City he gets sent to the screen. They really do open themselves up to the cries of big club bias with the glaring inconsistency.

Spot on.

NewClaret

This. I'm surprised more hasn't been made of this. I've seen it back and it's as clear a penalty as you can get and quite probably a red card but because we put in a pitiful performance thereafter it has been overlooked as if it wouldn't have mattered. It would have changed the game immeasurably at...

NewClaret

I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the loan “obligations” have been misreported. JBL was reported to be a cast iron obligation, but Kompany suggested it that it wasn’t a few weeks ago. I’d also be surprised if we are genuinely on the hook to pay £15m+ for Tresor. If we were, I’d have thought we’d h...

Roberts did it pretty much every game at the beginning of the season to btw

Hopefully Fofana gets the same treatment as Roberts then. Don’t want to see either again to be honest.

I’m not sure it will pass safety to increase the capacity.

Fair point

NewClaret

Love this thread. Should keep it going with all the places people spot Burnley fans.

NewClaret

As the new seats are narrower wonder how much we've increased capacity No increase in capacity, apparently, which I find strange. Maybe there’s a slight decrease in the away end that balances off a small increase in home? I assume if we did the whole stand at some point there would be an increase w...

Not a terrible result for us. Everton were awful but defended resolutely, fortunately.

I still fancy Luton to stay up with their games.

Everton needing points would be far more ‘at it’ than they are tonight.

They don’t look like they’ve got another goal in them. The longer it goes on like this, I can see Luton grabbing a late winner.

Agree entirely.

They’ve been dreadful, bar some good last ditch defending.

Watching these two teams is just the biggest contrast to our style now. Almost like two different sports.

More contact than Ramsey’s at Villa.

Luton the better team so far.

I reckon Dyche doesn't give much of a flying one whether we go down, stay up or move sideways.

In his press conference in the week he described us as “a previous club”. Didn’t even name us

Like you, don’t think he cares either way now but do think he wants Everton to finish strongly.

That is my problem...train fares this weekend from Sussex £129 return. So my two seats will be empty. Was hoping to drive but the wife has other ideas.

Train fares are absolutely outrageous. I’m surprised there’s anyone on them to be honest.

See Stalbansclaret's response above.

Yeah it just seems so random that they come available in batches. Just can’t imagine 17 people suddenly decided they couldn’t attend a match three days prior. If they came available in ones and twos I’d find it more understandable.

NewClaret

I’m expecting the Jimmy Mac lower hospitality area to be full of Newcastle fans. Also seems to be more away fans then home fans in there. The club don’t care who is in the seats, all they care about is the money. The stewards rarely do out as they are underpaid, under trained and can’t speak much e...

Yeah agree, although spurs are'nt pulling any trees up at the moment we might get the backlash off them at their place - Newcastle although nothing to play for are one of the worst teams to play in that bracket as per 2 seasons ago - they always try - never seem to be "on the beach" probably might ...

The frustrating thing for me is that we don’t really know what we need to do because of Forests pending appeal. People keep saying it’s a ‘must win’ and obviously the way to give ourselves the best possible chance of staying up would be to win our remaining three games but if we were to go in to the...

He actually said 27 as well and started to say 26 then changed it to “whatever” so I don’t think this is relevant.
