Originally posted by Snake Plissken View PostOh and another shouting match indicating that Sean Dyche and Chris Hughton really don’t like each other. There’s been a simmering anger between them for a few seasons now.
In unrelated news, here's a Burnley squad and coaching staff photo:

It's odd. There's no-one in Irish football who has a bad word to say about Chris Hughton, (which is rare) and richie Sadlier who was a former teammate of Dyche (and does punditry on rte, and does indepth player interviews on Garcia's podcast) is of the opinion that dyche is a decent thoughtful intelligent man, and there's no side to him. If he had, er, doubts about him, He wouldn't say that, because that would come back on him and his judgement. Basically to paraphrase him, he's the opposite of Alan Pardew. I suppose it's just the sort of row that people who are competing in the same confined space can build up because they're a bit similar.Last edited by The Awesome Berbaslug!!!; 09-02-2019, 23:30.

I just think that they don't get on. I can think of plenty of incidents in the games between the two sides - the Hendrick one is the latest but I've been reminded that in the reverse fixture last month, Phil Bardsley was kicked in the head by a Brighton defender in the penalty area and it wasn't given. Prior to that we've had the infamous "Justice!" game where Clarets had a last minute equaliser that was over the line chalked off (they equalised from the resulting corner) and Joey Barton was assaulted twice by Brighton players, including a knee to the back of the head. Plus last season Glenn Murray dived for a penalty (he missed) and on the other side, James Tarkowski got a three match suspension from video evidence for an elbow. I think Hughton has complained about Burnley time-wasting which is total pot and kettle and this is all from memory, let alone some of the other stuff that we don't see or hear.
So, I just don't think they like each other.Last edited by Snake Plissken; 09-02-2019, 23:39.

They seemed to have a very friendly chat and embrace at the start of the game.
Probably just heat of the moment stuff, (no Asia quips, please).

It’s the 2017-18 squad and photoshopped to fuck. The Dean Marney and Scott Arfield headshots are a mess.
It also misses out Dan Agyei and George Kevin N’Koudou who had first team game time. I assume that it was taken shortly after Tendayi Darikwa and Andre Gray had left.

That's probably just the recency effect in action. It's a really lovely move, but If you look back it's probably not even firmino's best assist to Salah, let alone assist of the season. I mean can you remember the goals in the return fixture? Football is changing ridiculously quickly and it's increasingly starting to resemble something out of shaolin soccer. .

Yeah, I'm with Berbs. Some of the one touch stuff and assists between Salah, Firmino and Mane last season were mind blowing. They've been missing a bit this year, but yesterday there were a couple of psychic connection passes that looked like they came from March/April last year.

It's not just a liverpool thing though, this is all getting out of hand. Man utd lost 3-1 to west ham earlier this season, and the game was grim as fuck, but it featured both a "Zola" backheeled volley from a corner by Marcus Rashford, and a "Lee Sharpe" by felipe anderson.

Pah. Even players in Division Three are doing outrageous things.

New definition of 'Spursy-ness' this season: 'Play within yourselves for 85% of the game, yet still pick up the three points.'
Some good performances, however - and Sissoko the only real leader on the pitch. Never, ever thought I'd hear myself say that...

In a couple of these games lately Spurs must have been feeling a bit like the Samuel L Jackson character in pulp fiction, after the guy shoots six bullets at him from point blank range and misses every time, or maybe it's more of a leicester thing.
Meanwhile, Chelsea getting absolutely annihilated at Man City. Which - despite stretching the latter's lead over us - is always fun.
