Match27 Feb 2027

The wait goes on for Burnley

11 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

The terraces1 Mar 2027

The mood at Burnley has turned into something else

Supporters who sing when it goes badly are supporters. Supporters who gather afterwards are a problem, and everybody inside the building knows which of the two this now is.

Market1 Mar 2027

Favio Cabral hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Burnley can pretend not to have heard.

Squad1 Mar 2027

A one-man rearguard from Václav Hladký

There were 7 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Squad1 Mar 2027

Home is on Favio Cabral's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Burnley are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Squad1 Mar 2027

Marcus Edwards in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Burnley this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad1 Mar 2027

Words at Burnley training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Quilindschy Hartman is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match27 Feb 2027

Liverpool take the points off Burnley

Beaten 1‑3, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Market1 Mar 2027

Lyle Foster wants European nights

The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

Match16 Jan 2027

5 matches without a win for Burnley

The run now stands at 5, and the questions being asked around Burnley are no longer polite ones.

Squad18 Jan 2027

Marcus Edwards in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Burnley this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match16 Jan 2027

Burnley are shipping goals every week

Two or more conceded in each of the last 5 matches. It is not one mistake repeating itself, which would be the easier thing to fix; it is a different one every week.

Market18 Jan 2027

Derby County join the queue for Max Weiß

Add another name to the list: Derby County have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Max Weiß. The answer from Burnley has not changed — yet.

Squad18 Jan 2027

Words at Burnley training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Quilindschy Hartman is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Boardroom18 Jan 2027

Burnley beat the market to Randell Williams from Reading

Reading will keep picking him until June and will get nothing for him after it. Randell Williams has pre-agreed a move to Burnley, and the only people who lose in that arrangement are the ones who let the contract run down.

Match16 Jan 2027

Gabriel Jesus’s goal not enough for Burnley

Gabriel Jesus scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Brighton, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Squad18 Jan 2027

The manager makes an example of James Ward-Prowse

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Market18 Jan 2027

No place for Josh Laurent in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Josh Laurent has his answer from Burnley; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

Market24 Aug 2026

Business is business: Hjalmar Ekdal goes

Newcastle United paid $13.5M and Burnley took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Market24 Aug 2026

Manchester United come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Burnley did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market24 Aug 2026

Ashley Barnes puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Burnley, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Florentino Luís in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Burnley this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Quilindschy Hartman falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad24 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Václav Hladký

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Václav Hladký, and the manager let it.

Match22 Aug 2026

Honours even between Burnley and Newcastle United

2‑2, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Armando Broja is off the mark for Burnley

The first one is the one every signing is asked about until it arrives. It has arrived, and he can stop being asked.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Armando Broja changes it off the bench

He was not in the side at half past three and he had settled it before five. Half an hour, and Burnley had a different afternoon.
