Overall, a dissapointing player. Wasn't worth the money

Claret86

In Dyche's first season we were terrible and were flirting with relegation until the last few games or so. The football was some of the worst I had ever seen us play, especially at Championship level. Many fans including myself wanted him potted at the end of the season. I am so glad that the board...

I’m not too upset by the dreadful decision at the Bridge. No pen and Assignon staying on we could still have got beat. It galvanised our guys into an incredible performance and they lost half a step thinking no bother against 10 men. The blatant foul on Trafford v Luton was the worst until last nig...

Which is the worst 1. The Berge handball decision forest away 2. Not checking the handball Bournemouth away 3. Not giving koleosho pen first half West Ham at home 4. The penalty against us at Villa away 5. Foul on Trafford Luton at home 6. JBL disallowed goal Bournemouth at home 7. Penalty and red ...

As a suggestion, maybe put some emphasis on people's first game? Mine were both pne (home and away.)
A certain Michael Jackson scored goals in a 2-1 defeat at home. Away was when we beat them under Waddle 3-2

Claret86

Thanks everyone! Let me know your thoughts and if you would like to come on and talk about your memories following Burnley ☺️ I've enjoyed them so far. Found myself joining in and thinking about past glories and players on my drive home from work. We have some good fan podcasts but I've got to the ...

Wasn't the 96/97 away kit the yellow Adidas one in the Waddle season? I've just sold that very yellow shirt to someone on Vinted and said it was that season (unless I'm getting confused). My first ever burnley shirt. I know we were crap at the time but the kits and training gear were smart being sp...

I've been watching Burnley since 1997. I've seen much, much, much worse than this. Not much more to add

Claret86

I stopped listening to Burnley podcasts this season as it was depressing me listening to how crap we've been.
I'll give this one a listen

Has anyone heard any news/rumours of a summer pre season tour, I throughly enjoyed last seasons? UTC Me too. I went to the Genk match. Ended up with videos of me on social media in the main Square when the players walked past and in the ground at the front of the stand with a big stack of cups. Hop...

Because in this snowflake generation there would be no one willing to work down the pits.
It wouldn’t be good for their mental health and well being.

Would work down a pit for a living ?

I haven't calmed down. The more I think about it, the more maddening it is. There are some good players in that team and they look awful. Its got to come down to the managment and how he's preparing them.

Claret86

I thought he was immense too. Always in the right spot for receiving the ball off the defence but more importantly sniffing out any potential threat we had. There was a moment first half where Amdouni & Fofana had a bit of a break on and he intercepted the move with an outrageous sliding tackle. Li...

Claret86

At some point, Almeria should win a game or two. Their generally reasonable football has been let down by awful play inside the two penalty areas, with some bad luck, injuries and questionable refereeing decisions thrown in.
I could relate to this statement

Claret86

I had a Sliding Doors moment when I was in my early 30's. I had a good job and had just got married. I hated the way kids negatively impacted on people's lives/relationships. My parents had a terrible relationship which I saw as a kid (I was the eldest of 3.) I was happy with my life and what I'd ac...

Worst game of the season for me against a team there for the taking. Play like that at Liverpool and we'll get annihilated

Claret86

Are there away fans cheering in the CFS when Villa scored? I thought the end of the Longside next to the CFS was where away fans went

Claret86

Absolutely no chance. Go to a match at whatever Boltons ground is called for that experience. The only way we could finance something like this is to build an out of town ground next to the M65 and hold concerts there and anything else we could think of to finance it. Get an American insurance compa...

My uncle has lived in calgary for about 15 years. Last time I spoke to him he had a hybrid english/Canadian accent. By the time I finished speaking to him, his Burnley accent was coming back. Dier is obviously copying the style of English his teammates will be using with him. He's then used it in an...

i've had a chest infection for 9 weeks now, 3 lots of antibiotics, chest x-rays, doctors have ran out of suggestions and just fob me off. really struggling with it Try nasal steroids. I had them prescribed to me (mometasone) I had something similar. They took a few days to kick in and they didn't m...

I've had a fence panel blow out which is usual for winter

Claret86

I had something like this last winter. Started off with something similar to a chest infection but no phlegm. Kept going the doctors and trying different things. In the end nasal steroids did the trick but it was horrible until they kicked in. Completely exhausted, struggling breathing, shaking. Had...

CMD arete is great route up Ben Nevis and it's not as daunting as some of the pictures/videos make out. Enjoy

I've done helvellyn 4 times and blencathra via sharp edge so I'm OK with ridge walks. Hoping to get crib goch ticked off as well this year.

Any team in the top half and it's a foul

Claret86

He was brilliant the season we went up. Formed a little and large strike partnership with Steven Thompson that you don't see much of anymore. We had it with vokes and ings/gray.
I think he had potential to be a premiership player if injuries hadn't interfered with his career.
Good luck to him

Claret86

Last season cemented his place as a legend for me. At half time against Sunderland, I was thinking he needs to drop down a division for his own dignity, as he couldn't handle the championship. I remember seeing the starting line for the match against them lot and couldn't believe he was starting. 2 ...

The flights have cost me £80 …it’s not a main holiday, just a quick jaunt to see somewhere new and from my googling it’s evident there will be plenty to see and do . It’ll be warmer than here too !

Can't grumble at them prices. Have a good trip

Great picture and I think by 1917 the food crisis in UK was getting worse. I know of a man who was a chil in those times telling me there were times when they has bread and cheese; but just ate the bread and smelt the cheese a few meals before being allowed to share it and eat it. The pioneering wo...

I've been to Malta 3 times. First time stayed in attard in a hotel. Second time got married at villa bologna in attard. Absolutely amazing place, used to be the residence of the guvoner of Malta.

And you expect everyone to be happy with that and not express their opinion :roll: I'm not happy with it, its been a massive kick in the balls after what happened last season. However, we can recover from it and need to expect that from time to time, we're going to have bad seasons. Take the rough ...

We're very probably going down.
We made a balls up of recruitment.
We were stunning last season.

More proof of how badly VAR is used. Sometimes it over analyses everything, sometimes it doesn't. It's made the game even more inconsistent

Claret86

For those more ehm less younger members of UTC we were mostly brought up to not overally appreciate West Germany (football). For obvious reasons. However, we were used to them winning. A "poor" competition for them generally meant they lost in the semis of the WC or Euro. Yes, WG and then Germany h...

I used to brew my own beer for a few years as well as working at moorhouses brewery. Stopped doing it due to having my daughter and not having the time to make it or drink it. You can not sterilise enough. I used to wash everything down and have sterilising soak baths set up where I would keep every...

Every opposition manager talks about our playing style. They're saying it because we're easy to play against and they don't want it to end

I went to Madrid for my 30th. Real were playing but the tickets were extortionate so just settled on a stadium tour. The city was great for eating and drinking, plenty of nice squares and traditional bars. We did a day trip to Toledo which was well worth doing, very impressive place but easy to get ...

I didn't realise how thick my Burnley accent was until I started working in Manchester. We don't pronounce our T's properly on the ends of words, we drag out the 'i' in words and sometimes the 'o' in no and we don't like using the word 'the' in a sentence. I have to tone it down a bit when I'm at wo...

He'd picked up a few bookings and one red card early in his career playing for Southend. What happens I suppose when the manager is not choosing the players although I never thought he was that bad. If you think he was the worst, there was a far worse defender at the club at the same time in David ...

Leon Cort is the worst signing we've ever made for me. Needed experience and grit at the back for a relegation battle, wasted 1.5 million on an utter donkey who, if memory serves me correctly had never been booked before He was absolutely crap and managed to get himself sent off for us when we got h...
