Can't be arsed with the rest but this here, coming from you? strawb, on 25 May 2015 - 9:59 PM, said:

Canny. What were the in depth thoughts of Collymore about Burnley's struggle to score goals? Was it down to a misfiring 21 year old striker who scored 11 goals (30% of Burnley's goals this season) who is probably going to end up at bigger club? Or was it that despite playing "decent" football (a misnomer that is always said down a long nose at a supposedly "smaller" club) that their whole team simply wasn't good enough to create enough chances and score enough goals? Also Burnley have been playing with 1 up front most of the season despite playing 442 all of last season because Sam Vokes was out for most of the season, so ignoring "forwards" like Boyd and Barnes who have been playing wide of the 5 behind Ings (10 goals between them) the REST of the TEAM got 6 goals. This to me doesn't point to a misfiring forward line. I would say that Burnley's lack of goals was down to an ethos of trying to be hard to beat i.e. keeping goals conceded to a minimum, this obviously in turn leads to a lack of chances for their "misfiring" forwards. This leads to a host of narrow defeats and in turn adds to the pundit bollocks of them "playing well, just unable to score that one goal" which isn't necessarily true because if they had been more attacking they could have conceded 2/3 more.. I know Garth Crooks can get his points across more succinctly than that so I apologise.

You listen to commentators and pundits and think "aye that sounds about right" yeah?

Aye, I am the one looking an idiot. I like Garth Crooks' general outlook on footballing philosophy but I prefer Stan Collymore and Adrian Durham for the more in depth tactical analysis.

So when you are making assumptions on football, who is your go to pundit?

I honestly have no idea what you are trying to say here like

Nah, its generally a sign of being a bellend. You are definitely on some kind of spectrum though.

Are you autistic? Serious question

Couldn't you just start a blog where no cunt reads your tediously wordy and utterly pointless nonsense? It would allow you to vent to your hearts content and none of us poor fuckers would have to scroll past it.

Women's football has gotten miles better in the last few years but, the keepers are still shite and they can't head a ball to save themselves.

TBF he can watch two games at the same time, must increase his knowledge of the beautiful game

Who is your fave pundit Garth Crooks, Martin Keown or Danny Mills?

Aye cos pundits and commentators are the font of all knowledge regarding football...

I don't post much, mostly lurk. Reading your shite would put a glass eye to sleep. If you think that Burnley's struggling to score goals this season is down to the forwards, rather than the team as whole you understand less about football than you do about brevity.

Used it in London when I lived there and now in Manchester. Its great, don't have to speak to anyone and they usually turn up in 2/3 mins cos the request is sent to the nearest car.

Garbutt is a very good young left back, would stop us having to play Anita, Jonas or Taylor there.

Again, you know less than nowt about goalkeeping.

Ah sound, I shouldn't have bothered myself.

Is he the chode who was calling Janmaat worse than shite earlier in the season?

You know nowt about goalkeeping. I know a random bloke on the internet can claim anything but I played to a decent level as a goalkeeper when I was younger. The idea that a goalkeeper gives his defence confidence works both ways, playing behind a different defence each week (usually one that includes at least one midfielder, one out of position defender and Mike Williamson) will definitely be hampering Krul. Krul is a good goalkeeper with some great attributes having a rough spell but it is entirely down to a lack of confidence and some poor decision making, every single player makes loads of poor decisions in a single match but they don't get highlighted because they rarely result in a goal conceded, if a goalkeeper makes one then they usually do.

I thought we might have registered Darlow due to a lack of "homegrown" players in the squad, is this still a thing? Anyway I checked and it seems we already had enough. Jack Colback's middle name is Raymond, apparently.

It sounded more like this from the City end but I could hardly hear over the locals moaning

Introduced myself on page 18 of the introduce yourself thread anarl

Nowt wrong with it mate, just use protection.

I always expect piped off. It happening is dependant on external factors
