Since relegation they've spent £132m on transfer fees plus agents, wages etc.

Premier league, you're having a laugh 😂

Should be winning it, since 1995 we've been told it's as simple as buying the title.

Spent all that and still look completely short of Premier League class in performances to date.

Charging over £10 for a luke warm Hollands Spud Pie and a Pint of Lager at the Turd by all accounts..feck me!

Flogging 'no nay never' Caps...desperate on all levels atm😂😂😂

Besides being Burnley, I'm so desperate for them to go down (and bust) because of all the celebs / ex-sports stars that have invested and used their 'clout' to promote them.

What's happened to the Burnley fans we saw on here every week last season when they were winning,they've disappeared

If you gave Rotherham 30 or £40 million, they'd be right up there. If you give any manager 30 or 40 million on top of a squad containing Barnes, Gudmundson, Rodriguez, Brownhill, Cork, Taylor and the rest he inherited,to fail he'd have to not want to go up in such a weak division.

Apart from maybe Russell Martin

He is seemingly trying to prove this season that you can take one of the most talented squads in the division, spend a load of money on it, and still get beat 5-0 on a weekend.

Fingers crossed that the Dingles decide he is the perfect replacement for Kompany one day

After the thrashings by Villa and Spurs, I am beginning to wonder if my assessment that Burnley would be comfortably safe is incorrect and the reality is Kompany has spent 132m to build a super duper Championship side and no more.

Most PL sides can get outclassed by City but the size of the gulf to Villa and Spurs says very clearly the dingles are far short of what is needed to be a mid table outfit.

Are they better than Luton, Sheffield United, Wolves and Everton?

The jury is out.

Did they really bid £31 million for that full back they had on loan from Chelsea ? That’d be crazy. Maybe they meant £3.1 million ?

The most interesting bit of that is that, seemingly, it was the player himself who vetoed the move - after a year on loan sampling what it was like to play for the club and, in particular, the manager, he'd rather stay as 3rd choice at Chelsea. Like I say, interesting...

Worst birthday ever?

Dingles at Nottingham Forest tonight, first away game this season and still looking for their first point.

A Dingle friend has stopped sending me gloating messages as they've taken up their usual position in the bottom three.

Kompany clearly isn't the Messiah but a very naughty boy as he's spent £132m taking Burnley from the bottom of the premier league to bottom of the premier League.

I used to enjoy the comments from our Dingle friends on this thread and can only assume their absence is a return to their perennial bitterness.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Having missed the first 20 mins cos I thought it started at 8pm..

Forest appear to have sold their best player and signed dross ! 

It happens rarely, that  teams prosper after selling their best player ...

Watching on a live stream for my sins. 

Both poor Premier teams imho by what I've witnessed so far. 

[simongarnerisgod]

Definite handball. He took the laces out of it.

That’s a saying I haven’t heard for a year or two.

[cesus]

Whilst it's funny because it's Burnley, I just for the life of me cannot see that as handball. It hits the same part of the arm as the Forest goal ... I'm not complaining though!

[M_B]

I don't know what they're watching on Sky. The  ball bounces high, Berge looks at the ball, lifts his arm towards the ball and knocks it on with his arm. 

If he doesn't handball it, they don't score. 

[Oldgregg86]

Easiest handball decision of the year
