⚽ It's #MatchDay 🙌 This season's opener is the 1st Round League Cup tie against Martin Paterson's Notts County (3pm KO) Can the #Clarets remember how to win a match at Turf Moor? #BURNOT #BurnleyFC
⚽ Well, it certainly makes a change to see a team playing in Claret win a match at Turf Moor! #BURTOR #BurnleyFC #Clarets
⚽ Burnley v Torino is the #Clarets' final friendly ahead of the start of the 2026/27 season #BURTOR #BurnleyFC
💰 Regardless of the merits or otherwise of the latest kit designs, there's no hiding the fact that there has been an inflation busting £20 (over 44%) price hike, from £45 to £65, since 2020/21 #BurnleyFC #Clarets
🤨 Some duff info in last week's press release, it seems! It looks like it's still our 'TURF' (not 'Clarets' after all) #BURESP #BurnleyFC #Clarets
⚽ Anyone else at t'Turf tonight for th'ALK derby? #BURESP #BurnleyFC #Clarets
⚽ From the Burnleystats database, here's a full list of competitive #BurnleyFC matches with an aggregate score of 10 or more goals (there are no 6-4s or 4-6s in there!) Source: public.tableau.com/views/Burnle...
🕴️ Time to get behind the new #BurnleyFC ̶m̶a̶n̶a̶g̶e̶r̶ Head Coach, Nicky Hayen, ahead of a new season back in the Championship Just 5 (FIVE) defeats for the #Clarets in the last 2.5 seasons (115 matches) at this level - so no pressure then!
⚽ How does the new #BurnleyFC home shirt for 2026/27 compare to home shirts of the past? Explore kit details since 1969/70 here: public.tableau.com/views/Burnle...
🌹 I'm wondering what the chances are, for one of these on Lancashire Day, later in the year? #BurnleyFC #Clarets
The home shorts are white, I think - on the images the men's were white and the women's were blue, although clearly there may be an option to switch
Having slept on it, I'm still not convinced It just doesn't look or feel like a Burnley shirt... #BurnleyFC #Clarets
⚽ Why do clubs like Brighton tend to get 'top dollar' for their players, but clubs like Burnley almost always end up selling their main assets on the cheap? I know there's the 'relegated discount' angle, but it was just the same during the seasons spent in the Premier League #BurnleyFC #Clarets

📰 The Burnley Sunday School Union was not a big fan of football in the town, back in the day [ "The Evils of Football." Burnley Express, 11 Feb. 1891, p. 4. British Library Newspapers, link.gale.com/apps/doc/JL3244260947/BNCN?u=lancs&sid=bookmark-BNCN&pg=4&xid=21466e65 ] #BurnleyFC #Clarets
🪄 And here's another before and after of a cartoon from the Daily Mirror, ahead of the 1947 FA Cup Final between #BurnleyFC and Charlton Athletic
🪄 I have been using Gemini AI to try and clean up some old and rather grubby #BurnleyFC cartoons from old editions of the Burnley Express in the British Newspaper Archive This one was from September 28th 1932
🏟️ #Clarets fans were out in force in the Capital #OnThisDay twice! 38 years ago (29.05.1988) Burnley were beaten by Wolves in the Sherpa Van Trophy final, with a crowd of 80,000+ 😔 But 32 years ago (29.05.1994) Eyres & Parky ensured victory over Stockport County in the play-off final 🙌 #BurnleyFC
⚽ Since Boxing Day 2015, #BurnleyFC have played 115 Championship matches and have only lost on 5 occasions 2015/16 (2nd half of season) Sean Dyche's side went 23 undefeated 2022/23 VK's side only lost 3 times 2024/25 Scott Parker's side only lost twice No pressure on the new manager then!
⚽ Adam Armstrong's penalty at Turf Moor on Sunday was the 250th goal scored by Wolves against Burnley in all competitive matches between the two teams No other team has scored more goals against Burnley, than Wolverhampton Wanderers! #BURWOL #BurnleyFC #WWFC #Wolves
⚽ It's #Matchday 🥄 Who will avoid the wooden spoon? The bottom two will meet at Turf Moor this afternoon (4pm KO) in what some people are calling 'El Crappico' Wolves haven't had a #PL away win all season, and Burnley are 14 without a home league win Tied on for a 0-0 draw 😆 #BURWOL #BurnleyFC
📚 The new #ClaretsCollected exhibition at Burnley Library is "One Of Our Own" featuring East Lancashire born #Clarets (there are more than 80 of them!) How many of the local #BurnleyFC players in the photo can you name?
⚽ Feels slightly optimistic... #BURAVL #BurnleyFC #Clarets
