fair enough. I see it going to the last day of the season. Can you win at Villa?

If Everton win against Brentford they are safe and staying in the PL.  

yes we can win at Villa - doesn’t mean we will but we have enough to do it. Same with Newcastle at home next Sunday. It’s in our own hands, we can’t ask for anymore than that.

Embarrassments to our club. Thankfully they will no longer be coming to games

They do mate, but it’s important to call them out where we can. - it’s 2022 ffs.

Some people just shouldn’t be allowed out .

For what it's worth, I was in the away end at Spurs for a League Cup tie about 1993 and there was the unmistakeable sound of the Rovers away support hissing in the direction of the Spurs fans in the section next door.

Football and the lowest common denominator etc...A big part of me thinks attention and anti social "status" is the whole aim...and I worry about such behaviour getting any attention/oxygen whatsoever in the press/and from the likes of Jim White and Simon Jordan etc. It only reinforces it...

I think the worst I heard was Rovers fans singing to Cardiff fans : Where were you at Aberfan.

And that was over fifty years ago.

Yeah, that’s just the tip of the iceberg in my opinion. Not just Burnley either.

Lampard understood that he needs to go more defensive and switch Formation to keep them up. He realised he couldn't play his preferred formation so switch it. Good management there. 

You have been trumpeting Lampard since you read in the papers that he was in line for the Everton job. Your m.o. is to then stick to your guns no matter what. 

Lampard has been in charge for 19 games, he has accumulated 23 points. A simple, inaccurate I know, extrapolation would have his team on 46 points over a full season. His current win rate is 36%. Mowbray's Championship winning percentage with Rovers was 36%. 

He may turn into a good manager but he's not there yet and is struggling - as his history suggests - to build a side that can keep a clean sheet. Starting Jarrod Branthwaite isn't the answer either.

There were some odd decisions against Everton yesterday - Richarlison would have got a penalty on other occasions, alas it was not to be. But the players look like they do like playing for him. 

I will also say that Carlo Ancelotti, one of the best in the business, couldn't get a tune out of Everton. If he struggled the list of people who could sort it out is very short indeed.

I think alot of Everton problems is the owner and no clear plan. He has spend well over 500 million pounds in transfer fees plus wages for them. Alot of poor signings in that lot. 

Hopefully Everton will stay up and Burnley will come down. 

Lampard in the summer will restructure that playing squad. 

Branthwaite only played due to players like Ben Godfrey, Michael Keane and Mina not available.

He’s a terrible owner because he financially supports a war criminal.

It's a little odd isn't it, because Alan Pace promised to revolutionise their youth setup with state of the art scouting methods. What actually transpired was an app for kids to send in clips of them dribbling and doing kickups.

I read that story online about them losing their cat 1 status 2 years later after they gained it. 

Burnley reiterate Academy commitment but Clarets set to lose elite status - LancsLive

They make me laugh and sick. We are committed to improving facilities whilst doing the exact opposite. Do they think there taking to primary school kids. That’s why every time our academy gets brought up I shudder because there liars and so are the folk down at brockhall. I don’t know how anyone can fall for it

we are talking about Burnley academy being downgraded and their chairman using that system. 

Rovers are continually investing and improving our academy year on year

I’m sure we were all talking about our new improved facilities whilst selling off the training centre not six months ago.

id say it’s relevant and your the prime candidate for falling for it

Still worth staying vigilante.

Says alot about Venkys that the things some people are grateful for what they havent done rather than what they have done.

They havent allowed the club to fold, they havent incurred huge points deductions, they havent dismantled (yet) the academy.

Come on dirty Leeds 👍

[AllRoverAsia]

Leeds and Burnley to get same result today and Leeds bid farewell to their short time in the sun. Sky are strangely very happy.
