Burnley better team in first half but did not take chances, gifted Watford two quick goals after the break and the Hornets ran out easy winners in the end. Missed first-half chances cost us a win at Soton also. Playing these EL matches is a huge disadvantage but, for some reason, there are...

Didn't realise there are so many Brighton fans wanting Burnley to do well in Europe. Thanks for your support - sorry we let you down in Greece.:)

I don't understand why Watford would be fitter - unlike the meticulous Hughton to allow this to happen. How can an overweight Troy Deeney be fitter?

Never mind Meyer, but how on earth did Palace manage to hang on to Zaha this window?..judging by the media, he obviously fancies a move to a big London club. I just hope he sulks and plays for a January move to Chelsea or Spurs. Meyer reportedly on insane wages - presumably Zaha is being paid...

Yes, being in the Premier League is weird unless you support a top club. From the very first game, you assume you will be in a relegation battle. It would be terrible if Huddersfield get any points off Chelsea or Newcastle don't lose to Spurs. I see Huddersfield and Newcastle as potential...

Plenty of cash - next profit to be announced circa £58 million for 2017/18 following on from a profit of £30 million the previous season. I think Dyche is very frustrated (especially not getting Dawson & Rodriguez from West Brom) but he has known all along he is working with risk-averse...

Undisclosed means that the club does not want to let fans know that they (the club) have paid over the odds for a player. If the club thinks they have made a good deal (bargain), it often lets fans know the exact amount. Similar when selling. Announce the fee if club receives more than it...

It's a six-pointer - like our match at Southampton tomorrow. Best result for me would be a 0-0 draw, but a home defeat for Watford would be confidence-sapping.

Yes, Dyche is a top manager, we do have SOME good players but not ENOUGH of them. Our tight-fisted board have left the squad painfully-thin with lack of depth in midfield and out wide. We've enough defensively and probably up front but the lack of numbers in midfield is a worry. We'll be...

I am surprised so many people think Burnley will finish above the Seagulls this season. You have had a much better transfer window plus the extra Euro fixtures are already beginning to hurt us - several injuries in the three ties so far.

Honourable exit against the star-studded Turks.....put money on it.:wink: Dyche will be saving players for the Southampton game a week on Sunday. I very much doubt Hughton would field a full-strength Brighton side in similar circumstances before a PL opener at Watford.

Burnley were in for Mawson and Dyche thought he had a "gentleman's agreement" with the player and his agent until Fulham hijacked the deal. Better wages at Fulham plus Mawson comes from the west London area (Hillingdon I think).

Only had two saves to make. I was expecting Montpellier to thrash us when I saw our line-up.....Montpellier drew 1-1 with a strong Villareal in their previous friendly but the Spaniards needed a 93rd minute leveller.

You shouldn't have too much trouble beating Nantes if our friendly against Montpellier is anything to go by. Nantes finished 9th last season - one place and one point ahead of Montpellier. We only drew 0-0 but had the best chances and a stonewall penalty denied against a virtually full-strength...

"Higher expectations"? Really? I don't think so. You'll be hard-pushed to find ANY Burnley fan who thinks we will better or even match last year's 7th place. Even the players (Tarkowski and Defour to name but two) don't expect to finish so high again and have warned fans that 17th place or...

The Big Six will not allow upstart Wolves to threaten their "clique". I can see them trying to destabilise the Mendes-Fosun relationship at Wolves. If Wolves have broken any rules, they'll be in big trouble. The latest transfer looks dodgy. Atletico Madrid, under FFP pressure, sign Johnny...

Oh come on, Hamilton, give credit where credit is due.....Everybody (all the national press anyway) loved Bournemouth's "fairytale" promotion against overwhelming and almost insurmountable odds.:) With such a "limited" budget and small crowds, it was a miraculous achievement for "Young Eddie"...

There is a Palace fan who regularly posts on the Huddersfield forum...recently he has been bemoaning Palace's lack of cash and suggests they would be better served selling Zaha and bringing in 3/4 decent players with the proceeds. Zaha has been quite lucky to avoid serious injury so far - if he...

Brighton fans can be happy if the team experiences a similar season to 2017/18 (injury-wise). I think Sidwell was the only long-term casualty.

"The Pluckies" to make another statement of intent with a £57 million double swoop for Colombia midfielder Jefferson Lerna and Uruguay star Diego Laxalt (The Sun). Lerna valued at £32 million - he cost Levante £500k and Laxalt at £25 million - he cost Genoa £5m. I hope Smug Eddie's boys will...
