Re: Phil Bird commentary

Re: Match Thread; Spurs v Clarets

Watching on TV. Kevin Friend absolutely loved the fact he got to give that. He stepped away from the monitor, intentionally paused and then smugly smiled as he pointed for penalty.

Re: Are we still going down?

I think we need 6 more wins as a minimum if we have any chance of staying up. That gets us to 35 points, add a couple of draws and we're safe.

There are at 6 winnable games left so I hope we can do it.

Re: Obscure places to watch Burnley on TV

Namche Bazar, Nepal, in January 2018 when we got flogged 4-1 by City in the FA Cup.

Also watched the United game when Defour scored that free kick and we were up 2-0 only to draw 2-2 in Kathmandu, Nepal.

Bit off topic I know but I felt really sorry for Vydra last night. All the guff Dyche talks about earning the shirt, yet Barnes waltzes straight back in as soon as he's fit.
And is mostly the reason we play hoofball just to see if he can buy a foul. Vydra should be starting before him.
