Terry Jacks:

“We had joy we had fun
We had Burnley on the run
But the joy didn’t last
As the bastards ran too fast”.

A Rovers song from the mid -70’s

About his dog dying wasn't it?

About his dog dying wasn't it?

Sounds appropriate for Burnley.

 

[khmerblue]

There in the shit now

 

[Old Darwen Blue]

They are indeed. Look at the last paragraph.

 

[steve w]

Massive player sell off soon. Bet they are there today putting values on heads

 

[Drog]

All this premier league being th e land of milk and honey doesn't seem to always work with smaller clubs does it?

 

[tonygreenbank]

They gambled on staying up and now will almost certainly have to use the first parachute payment of £40m to pay off the loan as well as generating fees for Macneill, Cornet and the new centre forward. They also have 9 players out of contract. Not a great position to be in

 

[Barmitzvah Boy]

I want to play them the first game of the season

Pope will be first out of the door _ imo

Good keeper. Wasted at Burnley.

Absolutely Steve! How could I have omitted him?

 

[Drog]

Big problem for Premier League passing football is that Pope isn't very good playing football on the ground.

 

[khmerblue]

I think he will go to spurs lloris is past it.

 

[Drog]

Lloris has never been as good a keeper as the one he replaced.

 

[khmerblue]

Who did he replace

 

[Drog]

Brad!
From wiki....
"Lloris signed for Tottenham Hotspur on 31 August 2012 for €10 million and €5 million variable. Lyon also receives 20% of Lloris's future transfer profit.[49][50] He made his debut for Spurs in a UEFA Europa League match against Lazio on 20 September 2012, the result of the match was 0–0.[51] Lloris started his first Premier League game against Aston Villa on 7 October 2012, keeping a clean sheet in a 2–0 home victory. His appearance ended fellow Tottenham goalkeeper Brad Friedel's run of 310 consecutive games in the Premier League."

Friedal was playing brilliantly and keeping his place on merit for spurs but my interpretation of events was lloris agent kicked off. He was obviously much younger and gk for France and his agent wanted him playing not warming the bench. 310 consecutive games came to an end but because of politics not ability.
