Re: Dwight Mcneil - He's one of our own!
I think after a winning 2-0 and gaining 3 points, to come up with something like that... it takes some doing.
We're 5 points clear of relegation and played the way we know we can play - by making it incredibly difficult for the opposition. I'll sleep easy tonight.

Big difference between Ben Mee and a 14 year old kid who like so many got moved on from his scholarship at a big club,and usually drop the career. We have brought him through to what he is now so yes 1 of our own.

It's a terrible song regardless of who it is sung about. Surely someone can come up with something unique to us and him rather than regurgitate that dirge.

Oh well... we used to have one for him when he first signed, with a reference to his acne problem too, but as he's got older, it's no longer relevant!

Re: Dwight Mcneil - He's one of our own!
Any player, who progresses through our youth ranks, to the first team, is one of our own.
We developed him to the player he currently is. MU tried and gave up.

Re: Dwight Mcneil - He's one of our own!
I don’t subscribe to this “to be one of our own he has to be born within the shadow of Turf Moor to parents who have had season tickets handed down from generation to generation” b0ll0cks - like Ian said above, we brought the lad through our youth system to the first team - he is one of our own.

Could you see the floodlights from the Edith Watson ward at Burnley General?
If you couldn't then there are a lot of Burnley fans that can't be called our own.
