So, that would be a resounding “no”.

Is this the day our season finally starts? #BurnleyFC

Stephen Winkley @winkley.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

I agree. But another season in the Champ also means avoiding a catastrophic relegation to League One. Somehow, Hayen and his squad, together with the fans need to build confidence and momentum. It's not an easy ask.

It's a gamble, but I think this window was about selling as much as possible and signing only the bare minimum required. Pace/ALK have overstretched and over borrowed so a correction was inevitable. #BurnleyFC

Not a bad points haul from the Bank Holiday weekend. Unlike some north west based teams… 😔

It's still August and already I'm asking with Hayen will outlast Martin Buchan as Burnley manager. 110 days. #BurnleyFC

Agree about both patience and Edwards. I hope NH fields a full strength side midweek and goes for the win.

Stephen Winkley @winkley.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

It's pretty impressive. (But definitely a 2nd round tie!). We need a big performance there and also at Carrow Road on Saturday.

It’s still summer, but it’s beginning to feel like autumn. Magic! #cumbria

Stephen Winkley @winkley.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

Completely agree. I watched it after @iandunt.bsky.social recommended it in his newsletter. Somehow I missed it when it first came out.

Photos from yesterday’s cup game against Notts County first time in the CFS for around 25 years. A very laboured win, but we’re up and running. #BurnleyFC.

Stephen Winkley @winkley.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

Agreed. It could easily outsell the home kit.

Stephen Winkley @winkley.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

Just posted something very similar!

Stephen Winkley @winkley.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

Not a big one for kit release hype. But… if you’re going to do it properly, then do it like this. Great to see the return of the old badge too. #BurnleyFC youtu.be/vOj5pwYDsSo

Like Tuchel, he can’t pick only left wingers. (Maybe I’m stretching the metaphor too far.)

Stephen Winkley @winkley.bsky.social · 20/07/2026

On Wednesday Bluesky was full of people claiming they could have picked a better team than Tuchel. Rinse and repeat today, for Burnham.

The misdirection briefing over chancellor is very funny. But fair play to the mysterious people who this morning and at lunchtime curiously backed John Healey for chancellor at odds of up to 130/1, days after the last time any bets been placed on him for the job with Betfair.

Hope so. I’ll definitely be there at some point.

Nice! Did you catch Pete Brown’s list of best eight traditional pubs in Manchester in @thetimes.com You’ll know them all of course, but it’s a good recap/review.

Friday evening, Poreč, Croatia. Honestly, I’ve had much worse weeks.

A fine looking bar. One to add to my "must visit" list.

Great walk this afternoon around #Silverdale and #Arnside. Apparently ANOBs are now Natural Landscapes. I wonder if someone earned some silly money with that rebranding.

Summer weekends are for the garden.

Brilliant. Really appreciate your reply Jon. I used to revisit that playlist from time to time and always thought it was perfect. Can you link to it when you’ve put it back together?

Stephen Winkley @winkley.bsky.social · 01/06/2026

@jonmcgregor.bsky.social Hi Jon. You used to have a fantastic playlist for This Isn’t The Sort of Thing… on Spotify. Is there any chance you could share it? I can no longer find it on Spotify.

Stephen Winkley @winkley.bsky.social · 01/06/2026

Thanks Ria. You can be sure that we will!

Week away in #Ireland. And the first pint of the black stuff… is actually a Murphy’s. Damn fine too. #Killarney

Stephen Winkley @winkley.bsky.social · 29/05/2026

Agree on Gerrard, though I’m sure we’ll all get behind whoever is appointed. I’d like to see Big Ange or Frank, but both still capable of landing Prem League jobs.

Stephen Winkley @winkley.bsky.social · 29/05/2026

Glad it’s sorted. Now just a question of finding a coach/manager.

Stephen Winkley @winkley.bsky.social · 29/05/2026

As a fellow ST holder I feel your pain. The club has never been great at organising ticket sales - though you would think this should be a basic competence. Isn't ticketing now run through a third party, adding extra layers of complication?
