Unbeaten at the most iconic English stadiums Wembley, Old Trafford and Anfield.

Won away at The champions Chelsea and at The Olympic stadium.

Hammered Bastards at Ewood.

11 top flight clean sheets. All with 7 key players missing for long periods.

Potential for players in The England World Cup Squad.

Maybe, just maybe Europe...

Take it all in. Dare to dream.... Utc.

Fantastic team effort by players, staff, directors and manager this season. If we can keep going then there is no reason we shouldn't be picking up 6th place let alone 7th - incredible as that sounds. Whichever place we finish I will be proud of what our club has achieved in this campaign.

I don't always agree with, or like, SD's team selection or the substitutions made/not made but I respect him enough to accept that he definitely knows his job better than I do. I am sure that when he looks back at games he sees choices that would have worked better and tries to learn from those wrong choices made.

My formative years as a Burnley fan were spent in the 3rd and 4th division.
I’m too young to remember the halcyon days.
I never believed in my wildest dreams that we’d ever be where we are now.
I said to my son at Wembley after we’d beaten Sheffield United that I’d be happy with a season in the Premier League.
This has been surpassed by some distance.

make stay in Saturday evenings most enjoyable.

An early bath and soak, 'do my corns', a little bite to eat
and savouring the wait for MofD and to watch us score three away and not concede.

It doesn't get much better than this albeit some 'hot sex' afterwards would be
the icing on the cake - so to speak.

If only your postings on here were as effusive when we win as they are moribund when we lose. If only.

Great stuff, confident we can even crack the 50-points barrier. Today typified being a Claret in exile -- a bit of a blurry stream, coupled with updating the match thread on here. Barnes scores, I scream in delight, my son sends a text saying "Boom!" Seconds later, as someone is running onto the pitch, the stream stops, computer freezes and I cant refresh the match thread. Another text from son saying "Yes It's 2!!!" I phone him, and through to 5 mins from time when stream restarts I am sat here in Upstate NY getting commentary on the game from my son in Philadelphia who has got uninterrupted coverage of the game 3,000 miles away from us.
Yes these are great days.

I had the privilege to visit the training centre this week to deliver something. Managed a sneaky peak at a little bit of what we have got there and it is really impressive. Added together the results on the pitch it really is a good time to be a Claret

CFC these are heady days indeed - yet I can't help but think of all those "discussions" we have had on here about the continuing evolution of our team and playing style that were rubbished and that Dyche had reached his level and we would never develop any further under his stewardship. Where would we be if certain posters had got what they were screaming for

To be fair to KRBFC he admitted he was wrong about Dyche's ability to adapt playing style, and when we play well he is complimentary.

I was at Maine Road to watch us win the First Division title in 1960 and saw us play in all our European campaigns, yet I think what Sean Dyche has done at Turf Moor, given the modern day circumstances, equals if not surpasses those achievements. Well done to all concerned in our current success.

It was a more balanced field then so you could be right! Especially given where we were when he took over and where we were heading!

Some people have absolutely no patience.

In KRBFC's defence he's a completely different character to last season, but he's still here and contributing to the discussion.
He's even open to some light hearted ribbing about his love in for all things Portuguese.

Other's who have gobbed off during Dyche's tenure have disappeared, I think there was one called footballmanager and another with SU in his name?

Standing on the terraces in the 86/87 season you literally would not have believed this possible. I keep thinking of the people I know who have died since this rise back to the top and would have loved to have witnessed it.

If we had not won the last 2 games yes we probably would and for good reason - maybe after twice subbing Hendrick and scoring 5 goals the manager might just for once play with the team that finished both those games and play with a bit of freedom - none of this bullshit that Hendrick is there first to tire defenders out

It certainly makes up for all those nights standing shivering in the cold and rain in Mansfield or wherever before the long drive home.
