I really hope Burnley go down they don’t belong in the PL. They don’t even belong in the century.

This reflects quite badly on Dyche too IMO. Whilst he may say it's good that the cheering was louder than the booing, as per the reporter's statement there was still a significant and aggressive section of loud booing and not to condemn those fans is wrong in my opinion.
Absolutely THIS!
3.02 I tuned into the club site to listen to the commentary whilst catching up on the ‘official’ match thread, my son (who has never liked football ever since I took him as a four year old, who only remembers how some older guy smoking a cigar in west lower at the Goldstone dropped his ash into his first cup of tomato soup poured from his little flask his mum had made him and controversially has never forgiven the chap) arrived with my three year old grandson, his Liverpool supporting 19 year old step son and wife, consequently after hearing the Neanderthals singing their nice ditty straight from the seventies of “who are yer who are yer” as they celebrated a 1-0 lead, I being polite, immediately closed my iPad and settled down to entertaining these unexpected guests . My step grandson (19 year old) kept me updated as to our score on the quiet. When he showed me on his phone first our equaliser, then closely followed by our subsequent winner everything turned out wonderfully in my world. Shame I could not listen to our undoubted response and pis* taking by our equally sometimes inane but obviously far classier set of supporters, hope now to be able to listen to a re-run of the quality Johnny Cantor and Warren Aspinal commentary somewhere on the ‘sounds’ ap, in the dead of night in bed with my headphones on. Oh what a delightful outcome and result. Seagulls!
Fair point - but TBF many of us were shaking our heads in disbelief at that first formation, and were certain very early doors it wouldn't work!
To be fair, they probably weren't booing the taking of the knee, just booing one of their player for hypocracy.

I'm getting stressed just reading that! Glad you saw a 45 minute masterclass at least!

The interview with GP on MyAlbionTV raised the question on whether this raises the bar on what's acceptable at corners.
Potter said "Well we don't want it turning into a game of murderball"
If that's going to be acceptable from now on, then Duffy definitely has a future at the club.
Just send him up to clear out all the blockers and we'll be doing ok.
The only thing going against Maupay is the fact he wasn't looking at or for the ball . . . If he had even taken a glance at it he would have got the free kick.

Jason Mellor ( no relation) in the Sunday Telegraph writes:
“So it was apt that to coincide with the full return of supporters providing a raucous atmosphere, his (Dyche) side produced a display of which 11 nightclub bouncers would have been proud, albeit ones with a decent first touch and an eye for goal.'
How well put?

Ooh, good record shops? I've never been to Burnley
Resident Claret here. Firstly congrats on the 3 points, sat at home with a Bighton fan watching the scores come in. At half time he said he'd take 1-1 after I bemoaned that when you are on top (as the reporter was saying) you need to score as many as you can.
So it came to pass....
Dyche is into the last year of his contract and I genuinely sense our time in the Prem is up. That's not so much a reaction to the result (though losing at home after being ahead is always concerning) but the lack of investment in the team. Rumours are that we are looking to resign Aaron Lennon (who Dyche helped with a lot of issues he was having off the pitch btw). When that's our transfer options it ain't good.
No real creativity bar relying on McNeil and the elderly duo in the centre bring run over.
This is becoming all too familiar.
Last season we got lucky that there were 3 teams ripe for relegation, this year I think we are one of them. Shame but not the end of the world.

A funny thing happened to me on the way to the Singing Ringing Tree
Popped in to the ticket office at Turf Moor
In 5 minutes bought two tickets for the game
No fuss, no hassle
No booking fees
No memberships
No covid testing
No ID checks
No vaccination checks
No obstacles at all - just welcome to Burnley - we're pleased to see you
Easy parking in the cricket club - £7.00
Bought a nice cup of tea and a packet of crisps
We booed Rodriguez - they booed Bissouma
We played crap for an hour - and won 2-1
Great day out all round - just like going to a football match

Why is that? I've said earlier in this thread how much I hate Burnley on the two days a year we have to play you but on the other 363 I'm much more mellow towards you and respect your clubs achievements.
You barely spend any money every season, you don't have, as far as I'm aware, a high wage bill. So you must have made a fair bit of money. Where is it? I think you've spent some upgrading your training ground? Upgrades to Turf Moor? Did you have debts?
