Championship thread 2024/25

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Well a quarter in and it looks like you're pretty much correct. Apparently they're being "direct" which seems to mean they lump it up the pitch and just hope something happens. Sheff Utd just had a free kick in Burnley's half and lumped it up, it beat everybody and went out of play for a goal kick. Then Burnley had a free kick in Sheff Utd's half and they over-hit two crosses and it went out for a throw-in.

The commentator just described Burnley as playing "patient football". Hospital patient, maybe. Without fail they seem to pass it 4-5 times around at the back and then try and play an impossible ball forward which 90% of the time just results in them losing it.

These guys are going to get absolutely mullered.

Chris Wilder is a slightly more upto date version of Tony Pulis.

Scott Parker seems to have moulded his football on George Graham.

Leeds are the only side that have a chance of staying up next season, and that will be pretty remote.

Blades giving it a go, to be fair.

Burnley fans a bit premature with their mocking at only 1-0 it could yet backfire on them.

You could be right.

From what I can see Burnley haven't conceded two in a league game all season. Ridiculous stat.

However, there's always a first time......

 

[paulchapo]

Boom! 1-1.

That Lyon player got sent off for the accidental ankle tap on Thursday.

Not even a foul today.

I've been wondering why he wasn't sporting a club shop outfit..

 

[remember arthur mann]

That cnut was auditioning for the rags. Oh and there's the real ex rag with his rag tuition.

 

[jimharri]

What a ridiculous tackle.

 

[SkyBlueFlux]

Probably the worst piece of defending you've seen all weekend

 

[jimharri]

Blades players are a horrible bunch.

 

[paulchapo]

2-1.
