"When the chief scout promised 'fresh faces with massive presence' and the chairman took it literally." #BurnleyFC #Clarets

📰 Here is a summary of the Nicky Hayen 'Era' at Turf Moor in 14 Burnley Express Headlines across 79 days #BurnleyFC #Clarets

📰 Hayen Headlines for a Sunday morning #BurnleyFC #Clarets

📸 Here's a brief history of #BurnleyFC Assistant Managers / Chief Coaches since WWII Jimmy Mullen was the last assistant to step up, way back in 1991 It seems unlikely that Nicky Hayen's No. 2, Johan Van Rumst (barely mentioned or acknowledged by the club!), will be following in those footsteps...

Not wrong...

⚽ It's #MatchDay 🙌 The #Clarets travel to Sincil Bank to face Lincoln City today (3pm KO) As well as a long injury list, and just 1 win in 11, we'll probably wear green/black ☹️ btw, my great-great-grandfather was once the Imps' Treasurer and Chairman in the late 19th century! #LINBUR #BurnleyFC

📰 A newspaper cutting - definitely not from this season! #BurnleyFC #Clarets

⚽ It's #Matchday 🙌 After a long-awaited away win at Watford on Saturday, can the #Clarets now find a first Turf Moor league win for almost 12 months (since Burnley 2-0 Leeds United on 18.10.2025) Charlton Athletic are the visitors and it's a 7:45pm KO #BURCHA #BurnleyFC

📍Saturday's win at Watford was Burnley's 3rd victory of 2026 (2nd in the league) and only the 3rd clean sheet 8 months had passed since the last win at Crystal Palace Not on this screenshot, but the last league win at Turf Moor was v Leeds Utd almost 12 months ago (18.10.2025) #BurnleyFC #Clarets

#WATBUR #BurnleyFC #Clarets How it started How it's going

⚽ It's "must-win" #MatchDay again! Burnley travel to Vicarage Road to face Watford this afternoon (3pm KO) The question is, how many "must-win" matches can a team fail to win, before something has to give? #WATBUR #BurnleyFC #Clarets

📰 Back in 1908, views were not aired on social media, a radio phone-in, or in a podcast - you wrote a letter to the local newspaper instead ✍️ This was from the Burnley Express (03.10.1908) "...changes are needed in the team if we are to win matches..." #BurnleyFC #Clarets

🪄 I know AI gets a bit of a bad rep in some quarters, but it's extremely useful for cleaning up the quality of old newspaper content, including this #BurnleyFC cartoon from the Burnley Express (01.10.1930)

🎙️ AGUER-oh dear.... As far as I'm concerned, the first thing you can do for me is to chuck all your medals and all your caps and all your pots and pans into the biggest dustbin you can find Because you've never won any of them fairly You've done it all by bloody cheating. #mancity

📸 Some of Burnley's New Players "The indifferent success of the Burnley Football team of late has occasioned their supporters considerable anxiety." #BurnleyFC #Clarets [ Burnley News: 22.09.1923 ]

⚽ Sam Vokes is in attendance at Turf Moor as today's 'Forever Clarets' half-time guest. It's interesting to note that he's younger than Jamie Vardy by just over 2.5 years! (I wonder if he's brought his boots!) #BURDER #BurnleyFC #Clarets

⚽ It's "must-win" #MatchDay 😬 (not my words, Nicky Hayen's!) Talk about backing yourself into a corner! With that in mind, can the #Clarets possibly rediscover their winning touch ahead of the international break against Derby County at Turf Moor this afternoon? (3pm KO) #BURDER #BurnleyFC

Regardless, I am not sure about the wisdom of a manager referring to a September match as a 'must-win' in this way #BURDER #BurnleyFC #Clarets www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOcN...

👕 Burnley fans of a certain vintage will know that Green and Black shirts are a sure way to guarantee victory! (NOT 🤦) #BurnleyFC #Clarets

Burnley suffer defeat against Derby County at Turf Moor, after conceding a late goal 😔 #BURDER #BurnleyFC #Clarets www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KWb...

70UP on ITV1 is an incredible piece of television. The initial idea, and the long term process, have produced some truly historical broadcasting.

I am not usually one for defining September matches as 'must-win', but Burnley's next game, at home to Derby County next Saturday, just before the extended international break, must be as close as it gets to that Defeat, and you have to wonder what needs to give... #BurnleyFC #Clarets

How did we get from securing automatic promotion the previous four seasons from the Championship (2013/14, 2015/16, 2022/23 & 2024/25) to this: "All we need is just one win..." #BurnleyFC #Clarets www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZFF...

📰 Looking back to 1995, this is how Edward Lee reported the planned changes to Turf Moor, with the old Longside and Bee Hole End terraces being replaced by two modern two-tier stands at a cost of £6m [ Burnley Express: 12.09.1995 ]

⚽ It's #MatchDay 🙌 In the Championship this afternoon, Burnley travel to South Wales to face Swansea City (3pm KO) It's high time Nicky Hayen's #Clarets found their first win to try and kick-start the season! #SWABUR #BurnleyFC

📰 Don't all rush down to the newsagents at once tomorrow... #BurnleyFC #Clarets

⚽ It's #Matchday 🙌 Burnley face Bristol City at Turf Moor today (3pm KO), aiming to go one better than the draw in midweek The #Clarets ' last home league win was vs Leeds United on 18th October 2025 and the most recent victory of any kind was at Crystal Palace back in February #BURBCI #BurnleyFC

So, there was a replacement lined up for Zian, but he goes to another school... #BurnleyFC #Clarets share.google/gbj20KXSmR5V...

⚽ No lack of effort tonight, but nagging doubts remain about where the goals will come from, post-Zian, and whether we can be resolute enough, defensively. #BURMID #BurnleyFC #Clarets

⚽ When was the last time there were no English players in Burnley's starting XI? ⤵️ #BURMID #BurnleyFC #Clarets

⚽ I am predicting a penalty will be awarded to Burnley tonight (it might be the only way we can score!) #BURMID #BurnleyFC #Clarets

⚽ Burnley's last two Championship defeats by a 3 goal margin (5-2 at Sheffield United in November 2022 & 3-0 at Hull City in December 2015) were both followed immediately by sequences of 23 league games undefeated, and promotion as champions! #BurnleyFC #Clarets

📰 A calamitous start to the game in East Anglia, and yet another dreadful day at the office overall... But back-to-back home games against Middlesbrough & Bristol City, on Wednesday and Saturday, will provide an opportunity to try and bounce back quickly #NORBUR #BurnleyFC #Clarets

🥅 Burnley have conceded as many goals in the first 3 Championship games of this season (9), as we did in the first 34 (THIRTY-FOUR) league games two seasons ago, the last time we were at this level I don't know about you, but I preferred it when we knew how to defend... #NORBUR #BurnleyFC #Clarets
