Didn't they beat us 6-2 at home under Stan too?

They did, with not one, but two ex-clarets in Alan Lee and John Mullin getting two goals each.

I remember us getting spanked by them in the FA Cup in the late 90s… never liked them. We don't seem to get decent results against them

There's certainly some truth in that. They even did the league double over us the season we won the fourth division title!

Good watch. Thanks for posting, Viva! As someone who was only diagnosed with Autism last year, I find myself wondering how different my life would have been if I'd been diagnosed as a child. Back in those days, there was little awareness of Autism, but if the help that kids get today had been availa...

Can’t believe I’ve just seen a 6 for Berge. He was the best player on the pitch.

I see you haven't posted your own marks, but although I'm a fan of Berge, he seemed to spend more time tonight wrestling with the opposition than getting moves started or flowing.

Muric 7
Vitinho 7
Esteve 6
O'Shea 8
Taylor 6
Cullen 6
Berge 6
Bruun Larsen 7
Odobert 6
Foster 6

Rodriguez 6

We needed to win that. We're not going to draw ourselves out of trouble. No shortage of effort though.

fidelcastro

Best result of the season.

Taylor 8
Brownhill 7

Given the circumstances with the appalling decision to give a penalty and the even more scandalous sending off, this is easily our best result this season.

fidelcastro

By far and away our best result of the season.

That doesn't make things any better whatsoever

I know, but var did its job in that instance.

fidelcastro

To be absolutely fair, had it not been for var (which I'm against btw), we would have been 1-0 down much earlier.

fidelcastro

Absolutely stunned at that penalty decision. Didn't even appear to be anyone asking for it, you could tell from the reaction of all the players it was an complete nothing of a challenge It's a soft penalty at best, but the fact he couldn't wait to then send him off tells you all you need to know ab...

Get us out of this league ASAP.

Not always but yes if it’s a common theme, the left back has to take responsibility in stopping the crosses.

Does Vitinho do that then?

Taylor is far from perfect, but he's still the best LB at the club.

fidelcastro

So the player on that side of the pitch where the goal originates from is always to blame?

I don't think it's quite that simple.

fidelcastro

But we still have something to play for, it's not a dead rubber, he must play his strongest team when he can just in case we can put a small run together. Perhaps he knows we aren't good enough to stay up regardless. He may already have one eye on next season. I stress again though, I think Taylor ...

Taylor is tripe, goal after goal down his side all season long, should have been behind Pieters in Dyches last season too, completely finished at this level.

Another well balanced assessment from you.

Not really just a case of playing your best players in their correct positions would do nicely

If he was, Taylor would be starting.

fidelcastro

Perhaps the soon to be out of contract players are going to see less game time between now and the end of the season (Taylor is one of those).

I don't agree with dropping him, but it could be another possible reason why.

No English players in the first Eleven.Has this happened before?

I'd already mentioned it. No British players either. Must be a first, unless someone knows any different.

fidelcastro

Given that Cullen is a ROI international (although born in England) am I correct in stating that this is the very first all foreign Burnley XI?

There must be some statto anoraks out there to tell me if I'm wrong!

The passports are blue now though so that's a good thing.

But yet when the St. George's flag on a football shirt was blue, people were up in arms.

I'd rather have a baby next to me than some swivelled eyed coke-head screaming idiotic abuse at Trafford, for example. And there's plenty of those.

Agreed. I've no time for people like that either.

It does make you wonder which "new" fans they're trying to attract.

Does a baby crying stop you from seeing the game? We all have personal preferences that being in a crowd requires us to be tolerant to others.

No it doesn't, but it certainly spoils my enjoyment and concentration.

You have my deepest condolences

Judging from the comments I heard when he was playing, all of them!

I bet you're fun at parties I was going to say you were a baby once .... but sounds like you might still be Ba dum tish Fine. Let's turn the place into a crèche. The kids are the only ones who aren't complaining about the prices anyway. You're right about parties though. I've haven't enjoyed one yet.

A crying section! I like your thinking, Alan should give you a job.

Put me down for a season ticket between the little baby and Tony if Trafford gets another start this season…

Sorry. Tony is fine with being next to the crying baby.

It's selfish to object apparently.

Perhaps you could come to an agreement with the club, where they stick you next to the mother with a few weeks' old baby, if they promise to reduce the price of your ST, that you've got so upset about?

Can often be of huge help to the mother if she's a supporter - enabling her to go back.

I think it's selfish personally. I don't wish to listen to a screaming brat next to me, especially if the game isn't all that at the time either.

Get a babysitter.

Why does it look like it will be over 10 months?

Are you expecting the final payment to be in February?

May - April would be 12 months.

Finally a win, but hardly convincing and against ten men for most of the game too.

I think that's what DC was getting at though, Viva.

There were many changes last summer with the number of players coming in, but most of them weren't of the required standard for a season in the PL (at least not yet).
