Bigger clubs than Burnley have struggled after being in the europa qualifiers. No doubt. But Burnley's form all the way up until Christmas was terrible. They were out of the Europa by mid-August.

FoyleFox Posted 24 July 2019 Share Posted 24 July 2019 Generally If you're last in MOTD it's because there were no highlights. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan LCFC Posted 25 July 2019 Share Posted 25 July 2019 It's just outright hypocrisy to punish Mina. If they do and they're the rules then the rules are flawed. Find it weird how many teams are leaving their business late. Arsenal, Crystal Palace, Liverpool and Wolves have done nothing of note. I know Wolves have made two loanees permanent but they were basically nailed on, I assume, to bypass FFP. Even Newcastle have only just started. Going to be an interesting last two weeks. Get the feeling somebody's going to come out of it very disappointed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are they more concerned about - watching the match and having a vested interest in it or the future likes/views on social media about their own reactions to the match? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UniFox21 Posted 25 July 2019 Share Posted 25 July 2019 Seems a bad bit of business, he's a great talent that Everton should be keeping hold of. But hopefully he kicks on in the Bundesliga as many English talents have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hopefully he kicks on in the Bundesliga as many English talents have. 3 different Everton managers haven't taken to him, almost like Gray with us in the first few seasons except Gray has now been given a lot of chances and still hasn't kicked on. It's a decent fee and i'm sure there'll be a sell on clause in there. Everton selling him, Gueye and McCarthy will raise the funds for them to go and spend £60-70m and probably put them in front of us in being the most equipped at breaking the top 6.

I guess that's true. Maybe he just needs time and a different environment to kick on. But am liking the youth players not being afraid to go abroad and play in the top leagues rather than staying in academys or going to league 1 or championship clubs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking this yesterday too as I was saying to a mate (Leeds fan) that I thought that most of the Maguire 'news' was being generated almost solely by SSN so they've got something to talk about in their THREE transfer shows they do every day. I suspect they'll be a bit of a domino effect in the next two weeks. A couple of big moves happen and a load more will follow. I'd absolutely love it if virtually nothing happened though. I might actually bother to watch one of their shows if I get to watch them squirming and desperately clutching at straws while the big clock ticks down and **** all has happened.

Far too many things done for show. Yep that's what social media has done to society, turned us into massive narcissists. The problem is that it's not as nuanced as simply calling people out for being giant bellends for doing it. For people who were around before mobile phones, we can do, because they are being massive nobs . But for the younger generation it's not so straightforward. If you are a teenager today, all of your friends are on social media and number of followers and likes is literally a thing can define your social standing among your peer group. Hence, you are conditioned to do such things and are actively rewarded for doing so because people like and follow your content. Basically unintentionally we are programming and rewarding people to act this way, and hence they do. Distressing to see, but there isn't much that can really be done about it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
