There are reasons why Burnley fans fly Indian flags at their games.

If any apologist ever tries to hold them in anything but the lowest esteem just remind them of this.

Is this actually a thing?

Yes you see a couple of them at every derby

Oh at derby's, makes sense - thought the other poster meant at every game.

Apologies if already posted (and for the fact that it’s THAT lot), but this is actually quite funny.

 

 

[TommyRovers]

So Ribeiro and out of the blue striker is our only hope 

 

Disaster of a day (window). If eustace gets up promoted he needs employing as the new pope

Lancashire Telegraph coming up with nothing apart from announcements from other clubs signing players ! Usually, there is at least ‘Rovers expected to be busy today’ but today looks like we just waiting for the ‘Been told that is all for the evening and the window’.

[London blue]

This is all so dreary and predictable. 

Not a sniff of a striker.

Some interesting stuff....Burnley signed Ashley Barnes 35 some weeks ago... he's played in total 566 games in his career and scored 121 goals.

 

Jordan Rhodes, 34, has played 648 games and scored a staggering 247 career goals.....I wouldn't mind having Rhodes here to be fair as backup.

 

Well this shows how much my expectations has fallen.......

Swansea paying £400k loan fee for Lewis o’Brien, absurd to be fair. They must be desperate.

[KentExile]

If I was optimistic, I would highlight that this means we now have open slots in the 25 man squad for 2 new signings

Didnt know Hilton was as much as 25 years old.

Anyone else getting JDT deja vu from last year? One hour late to presser....

You've not been quite as in-the-knowy during this window Tommy... have you lost your source? Or, are you opting for an easier life after the shite you've had in the past for your scoops? 😅

We've already got Forshaw who can't run.

You're seeing it through decade old glasses.

There's a reason why (League One) Blackpool are getting shot.

If we're that desperate, Billy Sharp would be a better bet.

Strewth, this is what we've become!

2pm: Lewis o’Brien on his way to deepdale

4pm: hearing Rovers still working on a striker!

7pm: Leonard leaves on loan

Has Eustace been banned from talking to press or is he just delayed at Brockhall whilst physically giving a makeover to Swag and Suhail Pasha. It won’t deliver a player but will at least make us all feel a lot better !

Nearly bed time in India!

What's more absurd is that he's been at Forest for 3 years and barely played for them.

He must have been on top of the world as a 23 year old: leading Huddersfield to a Playoff final and being bought by the club that defeated them there for surely a glittering Premier League career. 

Now at 26 he's been passed around more times than a cheap hooker - D.C. United, Middlesbrough, LA FC and now Swansea.

As much as i loathe to give those lot any credit, they are very creative with their signing announcements. This one did make me chuckle.

(I'll now go and bathe in acid, to cleanse myself)

[philipl]

I will refrain from posting until we have our annual oops missed the deadline farce.

It's like 18:30 over there. Balaji will just waking up from the night before.

[Neal]

Doesn't matter even if on paper they've signed 3 players because none of them will likely improve the first 11. 

 

0/10 window. Probably the worst one under Venkys. 

 

Complete sabotage of a chance at promotion and a representation of the resentment between us and them. 

 

I wish them the absolute worst life has to offer.

Our reliance on defensive solidity is why we've lost so many games 1-0, at this level you're going to get mistakes when playing such a high risk strategy of defence being your main form of attack. Our aim at times is to not lose, with winning being a happy by product, problem is when you do go behind a la Dingles home game it's then very hard for us to win. I think it also leaves us open to mental fatigue and at some point this season we'll get an absolute hiding from someone if say 2 of 4 defenders are below par

Do we watch different games?

Our defence isn't our 'main form of attack', we're just very well drilled and don't concede soft goals. We hardly park the bus.

Our attack breaks down because 2 of the 3/4 we have up there simply aren't consistently good enough. 

[bigbrandjohn]

Amazing how much Ipswich have relied on Walton. They have signed the West Brom goalie, as big money Muric drops more than Pears.
