Obnoxious fans or not, it would be much better for Burnley if the heavily backed financially West Ham and/or Villa went down.
Regarding West Ham, their board issued a statement the other month that said that relegation "would have the gravest financial consequences for the club."

Think they're dreading it.

Watching Newc - City game...

What are your thoughts on Keown on commentary? I thought Jermaine Jenas was terrible.

Although I can't see West Ham going down, I would love it if them along with Villa and Watford did

De Bruyne... just watch his movement when he doesn't have the ball. And when he does have it and passes it, it's sometimes to where the other player should be, when it arrives - not where the player currently is.

Best player in the Prem.

Against us they had 19 shots. They've had 15 already in the first half.

I think that Watford fans' message-board will be worth reading again after this game. They were more than disenchanted after losing away to us; losing H to Saints should be worth some real gems on there.
here’s one comment:

‘...Having read the majority of the posts on here I can't really say much else that hasn't been said already.

I actually HATE every single player in this squad. A spineless, cowardly bunch of c**ts that have had a right touch with this whole pandemic and games being played behind closed doors. They can just stroll around the pitch for 90 minutes with no pressure on them. Easy money for them.

'Captain fantastic' is one of the worst culprits! He's completely undone all of the great work in the first 5-6 years of his career over the last 3-4 seasons with his big mouth and no action attitude.

Nigel Pearson is another one who literally looks like he couldn't give a toss. So much for the man motivator we all heard about, i've seen more enthusiasm on death row than in our squad!

I'm guessing Deeney has some uncompromising photo's of Gino, no idea how bad he has to be to be dropped or sold?

I'd love to lambast Pereyra as well but I literally don't have the energy. If they don't give a f**k, why should I?

Pearson needs to go tonight if we want to stay up, it's clear he isn't the answer, our 'football' (if you can call it that) is just aimless hoofball with no Plan B whatsoever. That's HIS fault. He's been at the club long enough now to be able to get us playing at a higher tempo passing the ball to feet in the final third.

As soon as the last ball has been kicked at Arsenal away, we need to sell 2/3 of the squad. It's as simple as that.

Down and out...’

So is that a fourth or fifth manager this season that this guy wants?

Sadly for Norwich (easily the most likable team at the bottom of the table) they appear to be gone. Incredibly difficult for Villa from here on in too. The good news for us is that two from Bournemouth, Watford and West Ham ( record v Clarets this season W5 D0 L0 F11 A0) will be in the PL next season - first priority always look for 3 teams to finish above - that should give us a really good basis to start from

Plenty of adverts on view for Viagra at St James’
Thought it might have been more appropriate for them to
to sponsor Watford.
