It also reeks of incompetence.

I watched Barcelona last night. As soon as the ball goes out, a fresh ball is handed to back to a Barca player pronto, players are immediately in position to receive the ball, the ball is thus quickly back in play and the other team are kept under pressure. I appreciate that we're dealing with a totally different standard of player, but that's just discipline and coaching IMO. Chalk and cheese with us.

Prime example, throw ins. Decent sides take them quickly and keep the pressure on. We spend ages faffing about, then end up handing the ball back anyway.

I said this at the time; the results couldn't have been any worse than sticking with Mowbray. Too late now of course. Hey ho.

As a reminder, who actually said that the owners interfered?

Still plenty of points to play for and weird results can still happen.

If he goes to India, he will already have a new deal.

Exactly. My view is that he said the owners wouldn't 'sanction the move' - whatever that means - because it suited him to say that at the time for his own reasons.

Nothing to lose now. Just play the most attacking side we have.

We really don't. Not one bit.

Man reads restaurant reviews on Trip Advisor. Man doesn't like the head chef and decides not to eat there any more. He feels the need to add his own negative review whilst belittlling those who do still eat there. I get it now.

Quite the opposite. As with anything in life, anyone who hands over their hard earned money has every right to complain.

I'm also lucky enough to be able to afford it, but even so, the prices are non-sensical and do nothing IMO to increase numbers, quite the opposite in fact. Call me a 'happy clapper', or an 'accomplice', but I've been doing this for nearly 50 years and am not giving up ... well not just yet. Conversely, I fully understand why others will choose not to go.

He's forever whingeing in the ref's ear. That must go against him with some refs. Needs to learn to shut up and do his talking with the ball.

Indeed they are. One is a meaningful achievement, the other is a meaningless statement which virtually any club in the top half could make.

If Burnley stay up, they'll see the £15m as money well spent.

If N01 was made into a standing area, wouldn't that block some of the view - the JW/BBE corner - for those in N02? The standing areas I've seen - e.g Celtic - seem to be in corners, but I'm probably be wrong.

Without question, it's a massive gamble getting rid of Dyche. It's not all over yet, though. There's plenty of points left to play for and they're only 4 behind Everton with 8 to play. Someone could come in, fancy the challenge, and perfrom a miracle. Who knows? I'll only be getting the jelly out when relegation is a done deal...

Waggot can't organise ticket sales without making a pig's ear out of it. What gives you the slightest bit of confidence that he can source an adequate manager?

Wow

I'll no doubt be renewing my season ticket for next season come what may. If Mowbray is still here though, I won't be doing it with any enthusiasm, put it that way. Hopefully Venkys can surprise us, but I'm not holding my breath.

Worse than Fulham or Morecambe?

I genuinely would give him his marching orders today. Get someone else to do the job for 5 games - anyone, even Damian Johnson - it can't be any worse. If we lose all 5 games, so what? We'd be no worse off than if we kept Mowbray on, and it might just pay off.

I agree. Belief and confidence were visibly lacking yesterday.

Brereton needs to start concentrating on playing his game. Too much time spent moaning, flailing his arms in the air, and falling over far too easily for my liking.
