A bit reactionary, don’t you think lads? He beat Villa and has played City, Arsenal and Liverpool since, where most teams will get no points…
@FabrizioRomano
For a club that is typically efficient, successful and strategical when it comes to transfers and recruitment, this could be one of the worst decisions in the Pep Guardiola era.
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. 🍾

Saved a minimum of £35m from Mudryk’s move for an already proven Premier League player. Another reason Arsenal are on their way to the top.
Burnley and Blackburn Rovers are now the only Championship teams left in the EFL Cup, and they both sit in the top two of the Championship itself…
Is Sunday’s derby the biggest ever?
@David_Ornstein
@TheAthleticFC
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.
To the Coventry fans booing and singing in the minutes silence, the players time wasting, and the keeper getting in a scrap with Nathan Tella for no apparent reason before conceding from the resulting corner.
Safe journey lads 🫶🏻

The win speaks for itself.
But Nathan Tella sticking three fingers up to the Rovers defender whilst the olé’s were out and the Turf was bouncing in the sunshine - sublime.
This is some team

Burnley have sold more season tickets (14,000) ahead of the new campaign than Blackburn Rovers had in total attendance for 14 of their 23 Championship games last season. And that excludes away fans at Ewood Park. 👏🏻

Great work from the board to get him back onside, and even better to see him with a smile on his face. 🥹
In Burnley’s last home league game, they started with Jay Rodriguez, Chris Wood and Johann Berg Gudmundsson as three of the front four.
Their next home league game could see them start with Maxwel Cornet, Mislav Orsic and Wout Weghorst as three of the front four.
#twitterclarets
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.
He’s got a screw loose, but I adore him
Vincent Kompany via
@SkySports
: "My blood is boiling hearing the word complacent. It's something I find difficult as a human being to even accept. Complacency is the biggest threat there is to our game and the way we play. When it becomes complacent it becomes a little bit soft."
No wonder we performed so badly. When you have your boss screaming at you to play a certain way when it’s evidently failing for months on end, who is going to trust him?
Chalk and cheese compared to Luton. Recruitment and tactics were light years away from being acceptable.
Taking my claret tinted specs off and any emotion being removed, it still hasn’t sunk in that one of the top five clubs in the world have plumped for a manager that finished 19th in the Premier League, having spent £100million in the process.
Utterly bizzare.
£20m for Dwight McNeil was sensational business from Burnley, I won’t hear otherwise. Looks lethargic at Villa Park in what is otherwise a rapid front three.
It’s been 1 year to the day since Burnley went to Huddersfield and put on *that* performance. In that time, the club has:
📈Equalled Championship consecutive wins tally
🚀Broken 100pts barrier
😁Won the league at major rivals
💰Smashed club transfer record
What a year 💜💙
One key thing to takeaway from the imminent Kompany deal is the amount of times Burnley will be on Sky due to the size of his name. Prepare yourselves for Friday night and Saturday lunch matches…
@cerdeeq7
@FabrizioRomano
I highly rate the pair of them, but as far as consistency in versatile squad players goes, Zinchenko has to be up there as one of the world's best. His spell in the side towards the end of last season was as good as you can get from a 'backup' player.
Huge hats off to Connor Roberts tonight - he’s earned pelters from some this season - myself included - but he was great tonight. Superb quick thinking with the throw in for the winner whilst Rotherham stood screaming at the linesman. 🏴
VK on why he signed a new deal at Burnley...
“To be honest, it helps when we try and recruit players. Unfortunately people do believe some of the things that are written, so when I’m trying to convince a player, it’s easier just after I’ve signed a new deal."
#twitterclarets
Led to believe that Burnley still harbour hopes of a deal for January target Mislav Orsic this summer.
Likely all depends on any top-flight clubs from major leagues making a move as they would be a more attractive option, but Dinamo ready to let him go after their title win.
Understand the feeling in Croatia is that Dinamo Zagreb are happy to let Mislav Orsic leave after what he has done for the club. They don't need to sell but at 29 they realise it may be 'now or never' for his career. He is interested in Burnley move |
@IASucic
#twitterclarets
Once again wondering why Nick Pope - who has kept a clean sheet at the San Siro and beaten Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain since the last international break - is behind Sam Johnstone in the pecking order
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?!

Quite a bit of pretentiousness from Arsenal fans sneering at Burnley's potential move for Aaron Ramsey.
Short memories given they've only beaten the Clarets once in their last five games.
Who actually writes this shite?
Henderson > Pope? Are they aware Tarkowski is 95% likely to leave, and why would Jones - with 4 PL appearances all season - start over Collins? Does Cornet play baseball? Why is Morrison there? And worst of all, why would Richarlison join Burnley?
🚨 Understand Wout Weghorst is focused on playing for Burnley next season.
Told striker has settled score with squad after turbulent relations and is determined to make the difference for Vincent Kompany. Exit not ruled out but huge step in right direction.
#twitterclarets
#MUFC
Burnley signed Johann Berg Gudmundsson and Nick Pope from League One, by the way.
Nothing wrong with spending little on lower league recruitments, look at where spending big money has gotten us this year.
Let’s not be what Coventry and Middlesbrough fans have been to us 🫣
👇🏻 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.
Class that this happened of course, and Burnley may not see a season like that ever again.
But seriously, how bad was the Premier League that 7th could’ve got 50 points and still qualified for Europe?!
By contrast, Brentford currently have 50 points with 4 left. They’re 9th.
My patience is massively, massively being tested in this transfer window but you can’t turn down £25m for a striker who scored 6 goals in 44 games for the club.
I’m willing to give the board until Friday night but if there’s little to suggest we’ll get top 6… could be tyranny.
Scott Twine's free kick on Clarets Uncut is something else. He runs off to celebrate before the crowd even know it's in. Must've been some feeling knowing before anyone else that 19,000 fans are going to erupt from your own doing.
Starboy. 🚀

Dare anyone to beat my awful record following Burnley away this season…

🤝 Blackpool 0-0
❌ City 6-0
🤝 Reading 0-0
🤝 Rotherham 2-2
Plus I missed the Millwall goal in the toilets…
#twitterclarets
One thing Burnley fans need to understand is that the club aren’t the most attractive proposition at the moment. No player in their right mind is going to join early in the window if there is interest from others…hence why most deals are done late in the window.
#twitterclarets
Burnley linked with Braga star Vitinha, according to Sport Italia. They say that Vincent Kompany has put £18million down on the table for him, though Braga want £27m.
Don't think that one is happening (or has any truth to it, at all)...
An unspoken yet vital part of Burnley’s future under Vincent Kompany.
VK now has evidence of turning a Belgian League prospect into a World Cup-deserving star in just three months.
An huge factor for any future transfer targets to consider if a bid is lodged.

Ashley Westwood for Jack Cork is where the tie was lost tonight. Every time the ball had to be whipped, played such a high tempo on the ball for no reason. Cork brings a calmness to the side that no other midfielder we have does. Needs to be rectified ASAP.
@_The72
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.
Connor Roberts: “To be a bit-part player for Burnley this year has been a slight disappointment.”

Dwight McNeil has been absolutely excellent tonight. Constantly driving at the heart of Southampton’s defence, a consistent superb delivery and almost a rocket to boot. Has to be either him or Collins for MOTM, though most have been excellent.
