AlexLaw76 Posted 5 February, 2022 Share Posted 5 February, 2022 20 minutes ago, S-Clarke said: Bit of a disastrous result for Burnley that one, struggle to see how they get out of it this time round. Spurs, Liverpool and Man Utd in the next 4. I'd say they're all but gone, but the other 3 above them are equally bad that they'll always be within touch. It's going to be a low 'safety' total though, I'm pretty sure on that. The brief bits I have listened to regarding their ownership, they may not be back for a while when they go down. Maybe even a little reflection on what it could have been like for us had we got relegated under Gao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe even a little reflection on what it could have been like for us had we got relegated under Gao Their takeover was a bit weird, the Americans basically leveraged their buy out on the club and saddled them with tons of debt, more than they had before they were sold. Which is a bit insane. It's not allowed them to move on either as they can't sign anyone. All in all a bit of a sad situation for Burnley and it feels as if they're at a crossroads, they've peddled the Dyce way for many years but as a club they probably need to evolve now. I might be wrong...but if they do go down I think they'll struggle to get back for many, many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like i said a while back could make a case for Burnley’s keeper, 3 of their back 4 and a couple to three of their attacking players getting into our team. Clearly thats changed now (although you could still argue that 2-3 of them would improve our first 11) Just like it’s changed that 15 years ago you could make a case for most Pompey players getting into our team. The only thing that’s funny is you’re repeated ability to fail to grasp even the most basic of things on a football forum.

I didn’t “want half their team” I simply said when people were arrogantly dismissing Burnley as a shit team, so shit we only managed to finish 4 points above them last season that for at least 6 of their players you could make a case would get in our team. It seems that even this season with them bottom of the league and been utter crap all season that some would take 3-4 of their players. Anyway nice to see you’re backing down after another failing to make another completely ridiculous point.

With each post you seem to be exaggerating what I actually said more and more. now it’s up to definitely wanting 6-11 of their players in our starting line up 🤣🤣 You don’t appear to understand the difference between the stuff you’re making and saying it’s possible that 6 of their line up might be an improvement on 6 of our players, which the point I was making months ago. Even now with them bottom of the league with one win all season you say yourself you’d definitely take 3 of them yet you’re trying to say I got it badly wrong. Now that’s laughable.

And if you add Chris Wood into that, who would have been at Burnley player at the time, thats 5 off the bat who would unquestionably make our match day squad significantly better than it is now. Unless you're going to make out Long and Walcott and Valery and Caballero are all unquestionably better. For someone doing the "you're wrong, move on" routine it really looks like (yet again) he's the one who is wrong.

Should be 6-0 as a minimum, Davies superb shot and turn hit the bar at 0-0, Yates missed a free header 8 yards out and good save from Johnson. Their young front two and Spencer have been superb. Worrall had a iffy start but grown into it and now the goal. Leicester woeful, Brendan could be on his bike if it’s a heavy defeat. Can’t even blame the Danish lamp post or the past it left back. ‘Are you Derby in disguise’ lol. Forest keeper had a brain fart, might be a lifeline for Leicester at 3-1.

Whitey Grandad Posted 6 February, 2022 Share Posted 6 February, 2022 Another one of my bugbears. BBC nearly missed the second goal because they were too busy showing replays even though the game is going on. Why is another replay of something that we already know about more important than some that that may happen?
