Re: Burnley divisive XI' would be a fun thing to do... Thread worthy!

Cracking thread as it’s about those most divisive players and not a criticism. Thinks Chris Eagles, Rocket Ron and Trafford should be in the squad at least.

Good report from a cracking match. You just knew Fofana’s goal was going in the moment it left his foot. What I noticed was the nervousness of the fans in that second half especially after their goal straight after HT, but taking away the questionable Brownhill substitution I thought we defended qui...
