Re: Were in the wrong league, let's face facts, enjoy for now
Nothing new happening. We just continue to do things "the Burnley way". Don't beat the teams we're supposed to, but get a few unexpected wins against "bigger teams".

Despite that, I still copped a belting from a bunch of hooligans after the game.
