That is f'ing superb. Illustrates what a nothing club they are.

They need to finish cobbling Manchester Road first.

[tomphil]

They need bigger exits instead of a drummer to cater for all those leaving early. iv'e seen many grumblings they can't get away fast enough.

Delia Smith did it better.

some of them turning on the maestro vinny and the amount of money he`s spent,they are very worried about losing to bournemouth next week as well😀

"We're a poor man's Man City atm. Excellent in possession, moving the ball quickly and to feet, we have an overwhelming amount of possession, we've got some real pace and we're really good to watch"

I kid you not🤣

Just watching MOTD and they are so bad. So lucky it wasn’t a lot more than 3-0. 23 shots for Brentford.

Worth watching to see their number 30’s shocking attempt one on one with the keeper.

Dingles lose to Bournemouth and they are as good as down already

How much have they spent and does that spell trouble, if they do go down?

It’s hard to say. The guys that were giving us daily reports of their progress last season seem to be conspicuous by their absence this season. I can’t understand why. Maybe they’ll be back when they win a game.

They are still only a point and goal difference from safety. I think there will be three teams even worse than them to see them safe. Namely Sheffield United, Luton Town, and Bournemouth.

It's not just masochism from me, but also a jinx because I'm usually wrong. 😄

Sheff Utd have a bit more fight in the dog, Luton will also go down fighting and B,Mouth have the players to stay up if they can get their act together.

The games that will decide the relegation places, are the ones against each other.

It was easy for Burnley last season. they had the biggest budget and the best players.

This season is a true test of their manager and he's failing at the moment. They look a soft touch who can only play one way. Not sure what they spent £120m on in the summer but it hasn't improved them from the bits of them I've seen. 

[K-Hod]

Watched the highlights this morning and was surprised just how bad the defending was for one of the goals. 
A pass without much pace on it at all crept across the box for a tap in at the back post. The other two goals, fair enough, they were hit very well. 
I know their manager has a lot of credit in the bank, but I do wonder if their owner will start to panic….

Saw a graphic that they were the 10th biggest spenders in world football this summer. The graphic included some Saudi teams so about the 6th or 7th biggest spenders in Europe. Think the figure they spent was £120m.

The issue with Burnley iirc was the way the new owners have funded the purchase, mortgaging the club to the hilt basically. They'll probably be fine if they stay in the Prem, but think the issues will come if they go down and stay down for a couple of seasons.

The team could gel and come good eventually, but their summer recruitment is looking more questionable with each defeat. Some of their key players last season were loans that haven't been signed permanently, and it appears that Kompany doesn't know his best team yet. They signed a lot of young players that haven't played in this country, never mind the Premier League.

The change in goalkeeper continues to baffle me. James Trafford I know did well for the England U21s but he was playing LEAGUE ONE football last season with Bolton, who didn't even go up. The jump up from that to Premier League football at such a young age is putting a lot of expectation on him, especially with their leaker defence.

Bournemouth away next up will be interesting.

I did read an article about the debt they put the club in, when buying it. In some ways it seemed like a smaller version of what United did.

Spending like they did looks like a real risk, so makes me wonder what their aim is. Cut and run possibly?

[DeeCee]

Bournemouth will stay up , Sheff, Luton and bastards down 👍

[K-Hod]

The bottom 5 in the PL this year seem to be a fair bit worse than the rest. Having said that, the GD of the bottom three is already quite bad. Quite a few of them have spent a fair amount of money, too. Goes to show how inflated transfer fees have become…

[Upside Down]

 I had a look at the premier league table and by god is it a piss poor weak division.

The whole league is a shadow of it's former self.

[47er]

Speaking of luton, great goal-line reflex save from Kaminski in the final minutes!
