Burnley - Post Match Thread

[Demosthenes]

You seen the table fella?

I'm talking overall. Yet another game without a clean sheet.

Its the English mentality unfortunately and why the national game is light years behind the rest of the world in the main.

Huff, puff, run about like a headless chicken and play for the set piece.

Don't forget to kick or throw it as high as you possibly can so your big lads have plenty of time to wrestle for the ball when it eventually starts coming down, that's crucial. Any team that considers a freekick inside their own half as an attacking set piece should probably just give up the pretense of being a football club

Ugly win but we'll happily take it. Marriner was effectively a 12th man for them. Very unfair dishing of cards.

defense looked all over the shop, middle meh got bullied at times, but we won and thats all that counts after a champions league.

Can someone who watched on telly confirm though as I was in the ground and couldnt hear them but a mate just text said Sagna was getting some bad abuse and some of it was racist

If he was, I didn't hear it come through personally. Loudest stuff to come through the tv was the chanting to Sterling that he'd let his country down.

Did we not have a clear penalty not given as well?

Yes, but it doesn't suit the narrative that we were lucky to win.

terrible as biased twas all "burnley can get at this city side" never stopped talking about the non pen , francis when Sergio got booked "hes lucky not to be sent off for clapping the referee" , when otter got booked it was the " correct decision" couldnt believe some of the shite they came out with , and thats without my blue tinted view

Are these the same commentators from the rags game on Thursday who had an orgasm every time they passed the ball 10 yards? Today justified the bias.

 

[SWP's back]

Pep making his displeasure of the ref very very clear post match interview and rightly so!

Missed it mate. What did he say?

 

[Blueknows]

Wow I had several heart attacks in that 2nd half!

Not the best performance today but I'm not arsed, the end of the day we've scrapped out a scruffy win at Burnley after playing on Wednesday and after falling behind today.

3 points, top of the league...Jobs a Goodun!

ours should have been the late game , why did we agree to the early kick off when chelsea didnt play midweek and spurs played tuesday ffs

 

[brummie blue]

Poor at times, two scrappy goals, but a wins a win, when you consider we only got home draws against Everton, Boro and Southampton having played much better, I'll take this win against a team who consider playing us as a cup final.

 

[Neville Kneville]

And it was BT that made us play early Saturday after Wednesday night in Germany.

This.

Bunch of fucking rag/scouse licking arsewipes. Even interfering with the fixtures in their favour.

I can't believe the number of fucking morons in this thread moaning about the selection under the circumstances. It's as if the last two years never happened & they learned nothing.

At last we have a manager who is at least trying to see the whole picture & 'manage'.

Today was the sort of battling game which wins titles, irrespective of the names who played.

We failed to beat them at all last time they were in our league.

Boyd should've seen red too for a studs up karate kick (he missed) but stood on Sagna's ankle. This would be on a Sky loop by now if he was a blue.
