Match Day Thread Burnley FC v Sunderland AFC - Saturday 23rd August 2025 - KO 15:00

I know mate. Just watching him. Not sure.

 

Whoever thought that people would think that Xhaka was **** after 2 games

 

he’s struggled with the pace a bit is all. Certainly not ****. I’m hoping it’s just a settling in thing.

 

No need to worry, he's being watched

 

OK, you're getting yourself in quite deep here.

What do you mean when you're posting to people and saying,

"I have also worked out the Smug outside game."

Don't f*ck about, what are you actually saying?

I have absolutely nothing to hide so just spell it out, no need for PMs or anything else.

 

On Cullen’s goal, you can’t blame one person. The unit looked messy. If we give premier league players time to pick a spot that close to goal we’re in bother. It’s a learning process but it’s why we lost. Why we didn’t win is different. We need to have an X factor. If I could pick fault with Xhaka, like others there was time for that killer ball- him, Sadiki, Le Fee, Diarra all had the opportunity. Mayenda and was it Talbi had a goal opportunity. We need to add quality. We will. We can’t moan it’s just not happened yet.

 

Just a ‘bad’ day at the office

still confident for this season

 

As accurate as you posting after we lose you mean? I literally said it on a thread the other day. I called it exactly as it is. You are FAR more active when we lose than you ever are when we win (always have been as long as you’ve posted on here) and you post that “realistic” bullshit (as I’m sure you did last season before the playoffs. Telling the positive posters you were being realistic with your assumptions that we’d fail) . Tell me what’s more realistic about your opinion compared to mine? It’s an opinion. Just because it’s negative you call it realistic. Tell me I’m wrong about anything I’ve said here as evidence points in a different direction

 

.wow. Are you ok.

I watched a poor stream and missed the last 10 minutes - what was the Chelsea lad like when he came on?

 

TBH the game was all over the place by then, Burnley's spoiling tactics tbh ...

... they were falling down injured and time wasting, etc.

Difficult to work out what was happening.

 

Thanks mate.

 

I, personally, believe some of the stuff on here tonight has been totally out of order. Not to me, but others.

Everyone has there right to their own opinion, and as long as they communicate that sensibly and without malice, then that's fine. It's a forum after all.

However recently some of the stuff, imo, has just been targeted at certain posters. Fair enough, be positive, be negative, but there's zero need to gang up on people.

I think we all need to take a second and chill. We all want what's best for SAFC.

 

It was a scruffy match which could've gone any way, typical Championship tbh.

We'd win that game if we played it again tomorrow ...

... Burnley really aren't that good imo.

 

So spell it out mate, no bother ...

... who are you saying has been targeted and by whom.

Which posts are out of order and who's to blame, which gang do you mean..

You have to be clear otherwise your post is meaningless.

 

Mate, I like you and think you're a good poster and seem like a top bloke. However you've jumped on this thread and had a go at prehab for zero reason. He's voicing his opinion, just like me and you.

Others earlier in the thread tried to have a go at me and scout.

Im a quite positive poster about SAFC and disagree with the points or tone that prehab posts in sometimes, however that's just him. The same way he probably dislikes the way me or you post.

I just think recently it's getting ridiculous that him and others cant post their opinions without getting dog piled.

Have reasoned debate, it's all good, but there's no need for the barage.

Only my opinion

 

If you think that you've absolutely no idea what prehab has been saying on the thread, who he's been sending vile PMs to, etc.

He's on here nonstop if we lose but hardly had a good word to say when we won last week.

I never ever jump on people for 'zero reason' and, tbh, am a bit upset that you think that.

Perhaps you're not as unbiased as you like to think you are.

I try to be a good poster, on here, but it's becoming quite a vindictive and unpleasant place to be tbh.

If you don't like my posts just stick me on ignore so I can talk to people who have a sense of humour and don't think they're a football genius.

 

I’m not going to take sides or get involved with the prehab stuff so I’m going to ignore that. However those pms happened well after everything else

but you saying this is becoming an unpleasant place is a joke

you’re at the centre of every argument I’ve seen on this forum since I joined and nothing ever gets done and we all know why

 

'We' all know why ...

... says the main spokesman for the clique.
