    Surely: Carrot cake: More in context with IBB.

    But they’re not the same. As you say, ‘ve is a shortened form of ‘have’. ‘Of’ is a completely different word.

    Would "I can't, however, believe the number of people who make this mistake" have been even bettererer? Some might disagree with me.

    You have reinvented hieroglyphics by illustrating the object itself within the word.

    No need for word based language systems.

    Mind boggling implications for both the forum & humanity.

    Talk of Burnley brings to mind their most celebrated fan, Alistair Campbell.

    I happened to study at the same place as him & met him in my first week.

    In the late night bar.

    When I stepped over him.

    I know some body who did on the way home from West Brom after a 4-4 draw. I laughed all the way home!

    Unchanged XI. Not optimistic as I head towards the stadium.

    It's a good side, if Holebas doesn't implode.

    No, somehow, I think you may be correct.

    Mariappa preferred to Cathcart. New manager needed next season. ;)

    Or maybe he wants to make sure Cathcart isn't out again until 2020?

    Think Capoue has had a decent half actually, or maybe my expectations are just incredibly low at this point.

    His head was under a chair but the torso stretched out across the floor.

    Maybe he has mislaid a cufflink or some such.

    Can’t be there today as away in Europe but watching online - and I’ll get this in early before I get accused of bed-wetting. I’m increasingly of the mind that Gracia is not the man to take us forward. He has not improved us defensively at all and that was seemingly the big plus point of his appointment. Sure the players are to blame too. Even if by some miracle we pull this back today, it’s still shambolic really. We should be 2/3 goals to the good, yet the exact thing that everyone knew would happen has indeed done just that. I really wanted to give Gracia a chance but I just don’t see any ******* accountability in this team at all - from the top down. And he said ‘in this moment’ far too much pre-game.

    Thanks Javi, I just don’t think you’re the man to make this team stop the silly errors and get to the next level of our progression.

    ******* **** ******* ****s. Useless tossing bellends. Learn to defend a ******* cross. Weaker than soggy tissue paper at the ******* back. Give away a load of **** fouls and don’t even ******* bother trying to defend them. Shambles. Massive ******* bottlers.

    Burnley are a ******* ****heads and all. Writhing about from every feint touch. **** team. Can’t wait to watch the assholes get stuffed by some eastern european goat shaggers in the europa qualifiers.

    Total garbage back 4... garbage strikers... I'm even bored of myself saying the same stuff every week

    As for Burnley, garbage long ball league 2 hoofers... I wouldn't watch one of their games if you paid me, and they still beat us

    Another three points thrown away against a mediocre Burnley team. British values ? Timewasting at every opportunity and rolling around like pansies at the slightest contact. Awful defending from us from two set pieces nothing more or less. Should have put this to bed in the first half. Pereyra with two poor finishes and Janmaat in the second half. Dominated the match from the fifth to the seventieth minute and yet again nothing to show for it because we have such a porous defence.

    Mariappa shocker again and the second goal most of the defence are rooted like statues instead of attacking the ball. Dreadful to lose to such an overhyped and turgid team. Hope they get relegated next season.

    The only consolation if there is any is to see Pereyra-Hughes-Femenia together. Technically brilliant. Shame we have a carthorse upfront who does not have the speed to react anymore. Gino needs to get someone in who can organize a defence at least. Berizzo if he is recovered would be a good choice.

    We are just pathetic, absolutely pathetic. Cannot stand this side. **** to watch, can't do any of the basics right and full of mentally weak ********

    Can't take set pieces, can't defend set pieces, no creativity, no pace, no flair and two completely useless lumps for striking options.

    Does Gracia have any ideas beyond throwing on Okaka, who is absolutely woeful? Him and Deeney are an embarrassment as strikers.

    For everyone complaining about Burnleys time wasting we do exactly the same thing in the same situation

    What Dyche was complaining about at the end though is ridiculous.

    Utterly depressing, pathetic and predictable.

    Dominate for 70 minutes and then let a couple of play ground standard goals in.

    Burnley really are football parasites though, absolutely no interest in playing football or attacking us at all until they leech a couple of goals off of us. Then it’s all their usual sad game management. They have a well practiced and successful way of playing football games, but I’d want to shoot myself if I had to watch it every week.

    At least if we can sort our defence out then we can still play some attacking football and maybe eventually beat those anti foootball clodders.

    Indeed. Mapps was lucky to give Barnes a free shot which he slipped from in the first half as well. Our defending is just embarrassing.

    We had in the double digits of set pieces in to the box which they comfortably dealt with (though it would help if Holebas could stop aiming his crosses at their keeper) - they score from basically their first 2.

    Such a shame as other than that we were the better side for the vast majority of the game and it undoes our efforts going forward.

    Same old story. At least this hopefully drills home the fact we need 2 new CBs.

    Burnley were AWFUL. Absolutely abysmal.

    The fact we lost to such a poor side is a great illustration of how soft and easy we are to beat. Add a little pressure and we crumble, like a house made of sand.

    Can this season end now?

    To not bring Gray on against his old club is bizarre. Carrillo is hopeless

    Burnley in the European places playing cynical hoofball. I truly despair
