Arijanet Muric tipped a waitress £8,800 in Munich after winning promotion to the Premier League with Burnley, according to the Daily Mail.
He also bought everyone in the club a round and then settled a £31,000 bar tab. What a way to celebrate. 🍾

For those saying ‘But he’s free in a year / he’s 28’ - Brighton activated an extension, Arsenal need depth with a huge chance at winning the title and Trossard is proven. Mudryk has a high ceiling but so do Martinelli and Saka - they aren’t short of young talent. Great business.

It’s very rare that you see something new on the pitch at a football game when you’ve been going for 15-odd years.
But Aro Muric opting to just unleash long throws like he was playing dodgeball instead of punts was something else.

Also believed Orsic would be happy to stay at Burnley even if relegation became a reality, with expectations of an instant return to the PL - was willing to join WBA in the Championship two years ago. Perhaps shows why talks have advanced more than other targets.

Blackburn lost £400,000 per week last season.
An extra 5,500 tickets were available to give Burnley in the Darwen End for the derby - at an average of £25 per ticket, this would've been almost £150,000 extra in revenue.
Just an awful business decision, if nothing else?!

👇🏻 Weghorst didn’t succeed at Burnley because he was brought in as a like-for-like Chris Wood replacement. They’re two completely different profiles. I’d be more than happy to see him in a Vincent Kompany team. Think he’d really flourish in a more fluid system
#twitterclarets
This is one of the reasons he didn't BANG for Burnley, even though on the eye I thought he did quite well for playing in a very poor side. His best moments for Burnley came with the ball into his feet and his back to goal. His assist v us is a prime example of this.

Point being that I have no doubt he will move on to a top club eventually. He's 37, has the full support of fans/board, it's his own squad - plus Spurs are constantly in turmoil. Needs to learn and perfect his craft first before jumping at an offer. Gerrard is another example.
