Burnley (3rd rd FA Cup) Post Match thread

[OB1]

And had me nervous at half time

Really?

I'm a longtime nervous passenger but I was very calm throughout. They essentially fluked a goal thanks to JS but we had had plenty of shots, albeit some from distance, but there was no sign that we would not continue to do so and with our quality it was more than likely we would convert.

I have never seen a City team with so much confidence and belief as this one right now and that gives them the patience to keep probing away.

I must admit though that I wish our finishing was better.

They weren't still in the game: the game was essentially over when our third went in - barring some monumental fuck up - but bringing Kev was the last thing they needed to see and I'm sure it did psychological damage to them; as did hid right foot: that pass to Sane was - on one viewing - yet another extraordinary pass.

Perhaps my 'typical city' pessimism gene kicking in to say they were still in the game but had they made it 3-2 it could have got twitchy so it was good to see us be utterly ruthless and finish the job properly.

Can't be arsed with you anymore. Your completely missing the point.

Because you made up a random statement which was proven to be total bollocks haha

 

[SWP's back]

sadly not all sides can pay 50 million for players

Also I quite enjoyed watching Martinez Wigan side

So what you’re saying is because you enjoy something, everyone else should as well?

Ok then.

They’re* in 7th place but still play shite football.

Fucking sound like a gooner from 2004. That was fandom at its most arrogant. We're getting there

You aren't alone, my neighbour wanted a fourth to be sure but I told him three would be enough. I'm sure it could have got twitchy if they got a second before our fourth but I did not see much danger of that.

I’m pretty sure he’s nervous if his wife takes more that 15 mins to pick up the milk from the shop.

You may be, I don’t know and couldn’t care less really but speak for yourself.

If you think what Burnley produce is great football and entertaining then great.

I don’t. Deal with it and stop trying to be the though police.

Seriously what is your problem?

You seem to be hounding anyone that thinks the football being served up by Burnley is shite.

If that’s not to make them hold their hands up in submission to a brand of football you enjoy then what is it for?

 

[moon]

This is a thing of beauty!

Great anticipation by Sergio

Im trying hard to ignore you

Not enough to hit the ignore button obviously.

Need a manual for it?

I can pm you a walkthrough.

Edit; why did you edit out the part afterwards saying you’re trying to ignore me?

 

[Proy]

I'm not sure of the exact figure but I think it was in something like 8 of the last 10 season's, the team that had scored the least goals has been relegated.

Like I said. I can't be arsed with you.

 

[urban genie]

we played ok first half, was a little flat but burnley hardly tried to play and stiffled us instead, if not for our slip up tgey would never have scored.
Second half we tore them apart.

Dyche, for all the love in from our media is a fucking clown, spends the whole game trying to ref it and down the lino and 4th officials ear.

 

[oldius]

They made our defence look a little more vulnerable than many have this season. They have a clearly defined pattern of play allied to physically strong players. It's not a style I enjoy but it is extremely effective and Burnley are performing well beyond expectations.

Having worked in Burnley, I wish them well. It's a tough environment and the club is a vital part of the community.

I bet they also had a shit defence

 

[blueincy]

if pogba or kane had done that backheel, you would never hear the last of it, it would be goal of the season, gundogan is and will be some player with more game time

And worth every bit of the 90mil we paid for him ooops...

 

[TCIB]

Whoscored rated him MotM based on their analysis of every touch. He certainly won more balls on the ground than any other City player; including making equal most tackles, despite apparently hiding away.

He was my MotM based on being at the game; just ahead of Dinho.

I like to think of Mourinho seeing Gundogan hold the ball up as he did, back to the goal and keep us ticking; who then drives like a mad man to Lukaku's house, boots his door down, scrags him and marches him to the TV "you see this, fucking do this, you fucking do it you useless shit, fucking midget here making you look a fool, ****". Then storms off xD
