Pre and In Match Thread. Liverpool vs Burnley. EPL. Sat 21st Aug 2021. 1230 hrs

Not around again for this one. Or the one after. Bloody school holidays.

Can someone start the post match? I usually set it up early and then unlock it at full time. And then 3 seconds later @cynicaloldgit posts an essay.

Holidays are suppose to give you free time???

Yes to spend with your family. :wink:

I like Burnley and I respect the job Sean Dyche has done.

I have posted this in various threads. At one time I absolutely loathed everything about them. But the more I understood about the town, their club, their supporters, and what Dyche has done with absolute peanuts for a budget, it completely changed my perception. Thanks to @Rambler.

Dyche also hasn’t signed the contract the new owner has put in front of him, which I find interesting. After pledging to back him with the resources he needs they haven’t recruited or spent anything.

Ye in fairness to Dyche he has worked miracles there.

For me, I could care less about Dyche and Burnley.

If all football and all managers interpreted the game the same way, it would not be a global game.

If there was a single manager/team for whom I would use the word detest, it would be Dyche.

They have contributed absolutely nothing to football!

Why though

Thank you for sharing all of that with me. Feels good to get that all out and I applaud the bravery.

EDIT: quick clarification, the phrase is “couldn’t care less”. If you are saying you could care less, that means you already have established a certain level of caring, and that you could care less if you wanted to.

Couldn’t care less means that you’ve already established the lowest level of care and couldn’t possibly care any less than you already do.

But you get top marks for the rest of your post.

I don’t see much difference between Dyche, Pulis and Allardyce.

Neither of those guys could do what Dyche has done. Keeping his club in the PL on a shoestring budget.

And again, I don’t live in anyone’s echo chamber so I didn’t expect my Burnley thought to be greeted with much acceptance.

For me Dyche is not near as big a cunt yet.

I think Dyche at Burnley is the same as Pulis at Stoke and Allardyce at Bolton.

Plenty of teams come up and play football not the the borderline rugby tactics Dyche trains his team.

But I’m not a Burnley fan and I doubt they give a fuck what anyone thinks of how they play. It’s kept them up this long and it isn’t going to change under Dyche.

Personally I’d love to see them go down and take their Wimbledon 1980s brand of football with them.

Fabinho and Milner not seen training yesterday.

I actually have goosebumps thinking about going through the turnstiles tomorrow of gate S, going up the 4 or 5 flights of escalators to the top of the main stand, having a beer and a pie from my vantage point over looking Stanley park and a checking that Goodison and Everton are still smaller than us (they always are :kissing_heart:) climbing the flight of steps section U3 and seeing that beautiful pitch.

I would probably be shedding too many tears to utter anything after such a long time of empty stadiums. I wish you and all the others the best of days. 10 nil to us! :grinning:
