Burnley (3rd rd FA Cup) Post Match thread

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.

Well said
 
So what is your point?

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?
hounding? pmsl im just replying to posts on a football forum

My point was in relation to a poster saying the golden rule to staying in the league is scoring loads of goals which is bollocks

I have to be honest though it does get grating listening to people on here constantly moan about teams 'parking the bus'. Like what the fuck do you expect them to do, our squad cost 600 million more than most other sides in the league.
 
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.

That job is only for you is it?

You're more the putting words in other people's mouths police

It’s all relative though isn’t it.

Football price inflation dictates that a player 3% better than another nor goes for £20m/£30m/50m more.

There’s always been rich teams. City have spent no more now than other teams have in the past when football inflation is figured into the equation however the current modus operandi of many sides is a new phenomenon.

Teams didn’t park the bus and give away 78% possession ten years ago when Chelsea were running away with it nor 19 years ago when united won the treble.

It’s crap for the fans to watch and promoted Pep to say the PL is the most defensive league he’s ever played in. The PL now also has one of the lowest goals per game of the top leagues when it always prided itself as being entertaining and that all teams ‘would have a go’.

As I say, Burnley are effective and are punching above their weight and if you enjoy it then great, but it’s still shit football just as Pearce nearly drove away a mini generation of supporters with the crap he served up at home as well.

Nobody is disputing that Burnley are performing beyond expectation or that they don't have a right to play whichever way they choose.

The argument is simple. It's shite. It's anti football.
