Conceded 3 today, looks like his possession based, side ways football is on par per usual to being found out against premiership opposition

Such a shame

Well it was fine margins, ahem, ahem

How long until he starts complaining about things and blaming everyone else?

His magic puffa will get him out of trouble

My money's on it being a photo finish between him and Potter in the annual PL sack race.

I put Potter in my football groups predictors two weeks back....after today's result he's gone to front of that queue I'd say.

Can we give the childish bashing of Scott Parker a rest?

SerbianLad · August 16, 2025, 08:55:44 PM

Like I said when people were saying how Burnley will be good this season, because they are superb defensively, their defensive record in the Championship matters little. The previous record holders for the best defence, Watford, concedee tons of goals next season after they got promoted. Burnley was also pretty poor offensively last season, so I think they'll really struggle to score and their defending won't be as good as it was in the Championship which =relegation. In fact they are the only team I'd be willing to bet will go down this season.

I also don't think Parker has improved, or not significantly enough at least. As others have said, he's probably one of the first managers to be sacked this season. That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if we struggle in one of our games(or even both of them), just like we did last season against poor teams.

No never

Tbh I've no ill feeling to him whatsoever as he is now irrelevant to FFC. We beat Kew Bridge in a play off final with him as boss so thanks Scott Parker and we move on.

Just "one of them moments" tbf

Lets discuss further after we have played them & see the result

Why does it bother you so much? If it's not your cup of tea why open the thread or read it once the slant of the topic becomes apparent.

There's plenty of threads and posts on here that are of little or no interest to me (some go as far as to bore the crap out of me) but I don't ask others to stop posting. I just ignore it and move on.

The only thing I like about Parker is him driving Lady Penelope.

Are they all my post's

Sgt Fulham · August 16, 2025, 11:24:25 PM

One of many batterings for them hopefully.

FFC007 · August 16, 2025, 11:32:17 PM

Let's hope the home game against them isn't a drab 0-0 affair.

Andy S · August 16, 2025, 11:37:45 PM

Out of all the teams on MOTD today Burnley have looked the weakest but I would not bet on them going down yet as there are too many matches yet to be played. As for Parker I have nothing against him as a person but all stops will be pulled out to ensure Burnley stay up. So obviously he could very well face the sack if they don't improve

I agree the sentiment on these sorts of posts can be very childish in tone (and I'm guilty of that in the past too)

But it's just so goddamn galling thinking about how Parker managed us in that relegation season.

Cavaleiro up top. Mitro benched. BDR at RWB just because.

The careers of so many of that squad have demonstrated how much talent we had - Lookman, Anguissa, Andersen, Tosin, Robinson etc. all top league talent.

All that talent misused or wasted in favour of Parker's Park The Bus "we need to win the small margins" ethos.

His time at Bournemouth and with us showed his style has a ceiling in the Prem.

I think it's fair to say his Burnley reign has a high chance of going the same way.
