Burnley (A) | Post Match Thread

The club are genuinely worried about his drinking and the inappropriate times hes doing it

Hahahaha. Says who?

 

[CC1]

How do you know that?

He doesn’t

 

[bluesmith]

Jeez, i knew the matchday thread was bad! On the way home now from town after watching City stroll it in what would have been a tough game for most teams. Amazed at some of the takes, thought the city fans were unreal. 90 minutes non stop singing/

Had a good view of the first two goals being being central behind the goal in home end.

Rodri was superb in moving the ball around. Rico was targeted again being bundled over a few times and no protection.

Had to smile coming out the concourse with wayfinding signage everywhere with ‘early leavers’ this way.

Classy bunch those Burnley fans, eh?

“You soft bastard” to kdb when he walked off was disgusting by them, & I’m burnley born & bred

 

[The Scarlet Pimpernel]

What a load of rubbish. Did you know that he doesn’t drink during the season? “Lad stuff” FFS he celebrated winning the treble. Wouldn’t you? He looks fit and Pep HAS to rotate with all the games coming up. We should not need every one of our best players to beat Burnley.

I agree he can celebrate after winning the treble but for me, he didn’t look so great in pre-season / charity shield…..Foden and Cole were far better so should be played until Jack raises his level again. Maybe he will start in the super cup - very important trophy (for me) :)

Erm us. Neutrals make the Premier League the most watched football product in the world and generates billions. If the product is not exciting and viewership declines then so will the quality of players we watch.

This is not a tribalism “fuck the rags and scousers what they think” way of thinking, it’s the bigger picture. There’s too much football being played and fans aren’t getting value for money.

Many PL games are lopsided though and the atmosphere “non-existent”, as you put it. Been the same for as long as I can remember. It’s not a new phenomenon, nor exclusive to us, so it’s not really our problem, as such.

I think they are probably just worried about the effect of media tittle tattle on him. There is no way (even at his age) you could be such a physical specimen and perform as he does if there was a drink problem. The days when you could do a George best and function at the top level are long gone.

Peps after match presser some reporter asks" pep do you think it's inevitable that you will receive a red card this season? Pep "me well it's the only title I don't have here in England"...

Absolutely quality from pep!:))

Was fortunate enough to get an invite tonight at the last minute so a nice bit of hospitality and seats in the Burnley end so had to sit on my hands although found it hard when the second went in and almost jumped but just kept it in check!

I thought we did what we had to do. Great start with an early goal and a quality second after what I thought was a fairly sloppy patch of play by our standards, constantly giving the ball away. Bit sloppy too start of second half but soon took control again and a third to finish it off.

Shame about KDB. Perhaps it was a game too soon with hindsight.

Thought Akanji, Ake and Walker were great along with Rodri. Great goals from Haaland and the work rate of all was good. Other players a bit hit and miss at times.

All in all a great win to start the season.

 

[Tangled up in blue.]

It's not the performance, it's the points

 

[chaddblue]

Walker was our best player tonight by a mile imo

Kovacic was excellent when he came on too

 

[Franny 1234]

Again our away fans do us proud
Again no mention of it from any commentators.
IT'S GREAT BEING A BLUE CTID

 

[Black&White&BlueMoon Town]

It's not the performance, it's the points

and on that note, the top of the EPL 2023-24 table tonight no longer begins with the alphabetized aided "A".

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss!

That’s fine but for a poster to put that down to “24 hour raves” is ignorant

I never said it was our problem.

It isn’t really relevant to this thread anyway so I might take it to the General Football Forum.

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Good performance.

Never a red card in a million years that. I had worse challenges every weekend in Sunday league than that and not a card was shown. Just brushed myself down and got on with it. Game's gone soft. Full of mard arses nowadays.

Were you watching it on a black and white TV in a snowstorms near the top of Everest?

Even Jamie le Spitser said it was a red card

The media - & a so-called City fan. Couldn’t make it up. Comments he made just promote the media myth & really piss me off. It just goes to show how powerful the media is when a so called blue can state such rubbish about one of our most dedicated & genuinely nice/humble players. Jack is so good away from the game, visiting & responding to children & those who might be suffering in some way.
As you rightly say, he couldn’t be such a physical specimen if he was raving & drinking.
Unbelievable

 

[Dodge]

Comfortable victory. We weren’t at our best in the first half, but plenty of positives to take from that performance. Fuck Burnley though, some absolutely moronic fans tarnishing that club.

Quite a few of them in their main stand applauded KDB as he walked round to the tunnel.

Until he walked past the dicks alongside us and got dogs abuse.

Go figure.

I was in the Longside Upper and there was a lot of applause for him round me and even some clapped him in the cricket field. Burnley have their idiots like every other team , but it's a good town full of good people. Will get some stick for this.
