To think he played for us as long ago as under Brian Laws era when he was on loan, and looked then an exceptional prospect. Seems to have gone on for ages, and sad his career seems to have stalled with us

Re: REPORT: And finally a second home win for the Clarets

I noticed how a number of players went straight to Muric after the game to give him a big hug. That says a lot of things besides the stubborness of our manager to not play him until the 28th game.
