Come on super Burnley

jedi_master · Post by **jedi_master** » Fri Dec 30, 2022 9:39 pm

Cullen and Cork have been superb since we scored. Proper ratted it out and got their arses in front of players before dropping for free kicks. Very good.

Love that ball play Muric

And relax.............

3 points
Tough game.

Commy · Post by **Commy** » Fri Dec 30, 2022 9:41 pm

I can see why Stoke are where they are in the league. They haven't tried to play football tonight, just tried to stop us from playing.

SussexDon1inIreland · Post by **SussexDon1inIreland** » Fri Dec 30, 2022 9:41 pm

FT great ugly win

BurnleyFC · Post by **BurnleyFC** » Fri Dec 30, 2022 9:41 pm

Nice.

The claret and blue steam train keeps rolling.

clarethomer · Post by **clarethomer** » Fri Dec 30, 2022 9:41 pm

great result - not pretty but 14pts clear of 3rd leading into 2023.

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Fri Dec 30, 2022 9:41 pm

Big win. Delighted to see we can scrap out a 1-0. Showed a different side to us today.

Belgianclaret · Post by **Belgianclaret** » Fri Dec 30, 2022 9:41 pm

And another clean sheet from our great keeper

Pickles · Post by **Pickles** » Fri Dec 30, 2022 9:41 pm

That's a proper result that is. The sort of performance every league-winning side needs a few of.

sox8595 · Post by **sox8595** » Fri Dec 30, 2022 9:41 pm

Wow, messy hard fought match that, and another way to win

jedi_master · Post by **jedi_master** » Fri Dec 30, 2022 9:41 pm

Job done.

Pretty? Nope.

Effective. Professional and solid? Yes.

4:20 · Post by **4:20** » Fri Dec 30, 2022 9:41 pm

Brilliant. Well fought, Burnley. A few months ago we might've drawn that or worse.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Fri Dec 30, 2022 9:42 pm

GREAT 3 points.
Cheers for the company.
Time to open a bottle.

Carwin261 · Post by **Carwin261** » Fri Dec 30, 2022 9:42 pm

Worst performance of the season,but who cares?

Goalposts · Post by **Goalposts** » Fri Dec 30, 2022 9:42 pm

Tough 3 pts that, but they all count. Good to beat a big burly physical side

Casper · Post by **Casper** » Fri Dec 30, 2022 9:42 pm

That’ll do

This^^

Didn’t play the best, but the best teams pick up 3 points when they don’t play well.

AGENT_CLARET · Post by **AGENT_CLARET** » Fri Dec 30, 2022 9:42 pm

First scruffy win of the season but who cares

Croydon Claret · Post by **Croydon Claret** » Fri Dec 30, 2022 9:42 pm

Phew. Big 3 points
Long way off our best but that's credit to Stoke for not allowing us to play.

At the end of the day it's the same 3 points as if we've had a swashbuckling performance

Tricky Trevor · Post by **Tricky Trevor** » Fri Dec 30, 2022 9:42 pm

Not a match I’d want to watch again but a win is a win. Well done lads.
Swans 4-0 up on Watford so a tougher game Monday.

gawthorpe_view · Post by **gawthorpe_view** » Fri Dec 30, 2022 9:43 pm

Proper job.
Can we do it on a cold night at Stoke?

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Fri Dec 30, 2022 9:43 pm

Good win that. They certainly did a lot better than most teams against us so far.

tally · Post by **tally** » Fri Dec 30, 2022 9:43 pm

A good old fashioned 1-0 win

SussexDon1inIreland · Post by **SussexDon1inIreland** » Fri Dec 30, 2022 9:43 pm

MOM Muric?

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Fri Dec 30, 2022 9:43 pm

No wonder the stands were empty.

Stoke were awful to watch. Admittedly, we weren't much better in our prem days but I don't understand why they brought all these big units on but didn't attempt to pepper our box.

As Commy said, you can see why Stoke are where they are.

ClaretLoup · Post by **ClaretLoup** » Fri Dec 30, 2022 9:43 pm

FIVE wins clear of the pack. Amazing stuff.

JanetM · Post by **JanetM** » Fri Dec 30, 2022 9:43 pm

Brilliant! Great support from the travelling Clarets.

SussexDon1inIreland · Post by **SussexDon1inIreland** » Fri Dec 30, 2022 9:43 pm

11 wins from last 13

clarethomer · Post by **clarethomer** » Fri Dec 30, 2022 9:43 pm

they are the games we were drawing earlier in the season

claptrappers_union · Post by **claptrappers_union** » Fri Dec 30, 2022 9:44 pm

Stoke put up a battle there. It’s clear that we are much more comfortable with Zaroury and Tella in the team though

Casper · Post by **Casper** » Fri Dec 30, 2022 9:44 pm

Watford will looking for a new manager

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Fri Dec 30, 2022 9:44 pm

14 points clear of 3rd place.

Boss Hogg · Post by **Boss Hogg** » Fri Dec 30, 2022 9:44 pm

Hard fought and ugly. Type of match you need to win to win championships. Cullen and Cork were really good along with the the 2 central defenders.

SussexDon1inIreland · Post by **SussexDon1inIreland** » Fri Dec 30, 2022 9:44 pm

Happy New Year to all Clarets

MOM Muric?

He was excellent for that spell when we were struggling and was routinely great with his feet bar once in the 1st half.

MOM for me would be Cullen for his game killing and getting his first goal.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Fri Dec 30, 2022 9:44 pm

Precisely the kind of ugly win you need to grind out sometimes over the course of a long season.

Feels like a really important 3 points does that.

Another clean sheet to boot, and only conceded 1 in 5 now.

Big gap to those chasing now.

beddie · Post by **beddie** » Fri Dec 30, 2022 9:44 pm

Did Stoke remind you of anybody that did play in the PL.

Ampth7 · Post by **Ampth7** » Fri Dec 30, 2022 9:45 pm

GET IN!! Effin awful game of football not helped by Stoke’s intent on destroying anything resembling football and the refs inability to do chuff all about it.
10/11 more wins needed?

Watford have Sarr who plays when he feels like it and Pedro who is their main player and injured for about 2 months. They will do well to stay in the play offs.

Happy New Year

Proper Champions win that.

Stoke are awful, that ref was pathetic.
