You’ve been physically sick since 2004, when longsider joined? Under ‘the old regime’ too.

Sam Dingle lasted on here for donkeys years under said Ancien Régime and he was far more of an obnoxious twat than the present two.

[Songman]

Anyone heard anything regarding remaining tickets? Unless I've missed something, the club haven't put anything our saying sold out (which I'm sure they would). On the flip side they haven't announced any further phases.

Apparently, a £3.4m bid for Josh Brownhill from Turkish side, Trabzonspor has been rejected. This involved a substantial pay rise for Josh, and a four year deal, as he enters the last 12 months of his contract. Benson has been linked with Leeds, Sunderland and Norwich but no firm bids yet, I believe ..

To me, Brownhill and Cullen are our talismen, they understand the Club and the Town .. more annoyed to see them go than most of the others ... Weghorst still touted to go to Ajax, with 10 months left on his contract 

No one wants to sign a new contract and stay at Burnley. Can understand that

It makes me physically sick to see these gapped teeth ****s on here, bring back the old regime, they’d have been exited stage right years ago and quite right to for all reasons I’ve highlighted previously.

Anyway…..

IMO - There’s always room for civilised conversation/discussion/debate. As long as it remains civilised I enjoy the opposition’s perspective…makes for more nuanced reading. 
We had loads of obnoxious Wrexham fans on here earlier this year who lasted 2 minutes, on the other end of the spectrum we also have the likes  @PotterLog who provides insight into Stoke…the day we lose contributors like that will be a sad one. 

Disappointed you feel like that Gav.

Can anyone confirm tickets are available to collect now? Just dawned on me I need to do so at some point....

They should be. Collections were available depending on which phase they brought in but by now they should all be there. Probably best to call first though to make sure.

Ugh... dreading this one 😶

[onlyonejackwalker]

You would imagine this is one of our harder fixtures away at a relegated PL team. They have an expensively compiled squad.

Good opportunity for us to demonstrate were we are up to. This is professional football and I'm expecting a professional performance.

We have some new players and hopefully some fresh ideas and a new direction.

COYB.

[ruggles1995]

lets hope Gueye and Yuki dont get injured this week! Id take a draw. With both of them available we stand a chance. There is a international 2 week break after this game, so would be good to sign off the international break undefeated. Think this a big week for us. Lots of questions will be answered come the end of the week. 

Will the squad have depth?
Will we get the positions we need?
How far have we really come, will it be a reality check, or have we made good strides?

I think that's what is called " being damned by faint praise " ..... 😉

Is there going to be any serious money spent or will it all go towards paying off creditors?

I think what the f*** is the expression that first springs to mind. It probably would have been cheaper to sack VK and employ someone like Big Sam.

It would seems Pace and co are panicking a bit to pay the bills left by VK, so I can understand the hysteria from the fans.

If they get rid of Benson and Brownhill I'd worry for your league status. Even if you bring in some very good signings they need to gel a bit and it's late in the day for that. I imagine a lot of Burnley fans will hope their luck hasn't run out quite yet or you could end up like us.

You are aware of the Ironing Board incident aren't you?

My dingle cousin sent me a message saying the same. Apparantely Cork is in charge.

[Old Codger]

Not looking forward to SaTURDay, especially after last night's non-show at Ewood. It is a complete lottery as to which Rovers side turns up, but I get the feeling we might be somewhat easier to pick off than our clampet cousins on home turf, even with the turmoil that appears to be taking hold in their camp.

Above all, I want us to emerge with pride intact. Dignity can f off, flowing football can take a back seat. I just want us to return down the M65 feeling like we did everything we could to see off the old enemy and to bridge the gap that Venkys have institutionalised in our club since their disgraceful and pernicious arrival 13 years ago.

Time for football to do it's magic... time will tell 🙂

COYB! Wear your colours with pride!
