Can't recall now what year it was (mid/late 60's? and Burnley were playing Man United at the Turf. George Best had the ball and was racing down the wing with John Angus back pedaling in front of him. Best played the ball between Johns' legs and shot off round Angus down the wing. But Angus was back ...

I'm not sure that the England penalty would have been given had it occurred in the mens' game. Or should I say I've seen worse (in the mens' game) not given. Still you've got to give to the ladies. They keep coming back. Not too sure how they'll fare in the final especially if it's Spain but hey ho ...

Now that's what I call a hellova comeback.
Well done lads.

jurek

Can't think of any team having been so consistent both home and away.

Home P23 W14 D9 L0 F35 A8 Pts 51
Away P23 W14 D7 L2 F34 A8 Pts 49

That's some record to add to all the others.

Well done to the Clarets.

I think I have to give credit to Leeds for playing the way they have. The stats against Bristol speak for themselves. 23 shots, 12 on target. 74% possession. 93 goals scored so far this season. 29 conceded. I know we've got some pretty impressive stats too but I think there's a few Burnley fans who,...

I do hope we prevail and get the job done tomorrow. It's going to test the nerves as it is never mind what they'd be like if we lose and still need 4 points from our last two games. United will come to the Turf with absolutely nothing to lose and will use every trick in the book to unsettle us and g...

jurek

When you're smiling....

Did it ever get off the ground?

Would be great if it did and the Turf all sang it
at the end of tomorrow's game when we've beaten
Sheff. Utd.

I think most, if not all teams go through a period where they struggle to pick up points. Leeds have had theirs but seem back on track now whilst Sheff. Utd have lost their last three. Nobody could have predicted those 3 results. We don't appear to have had such a period and I can't recall that we h...

Let's not count our chickens as they say but.... as long as we don't lose at Watford then we're in with more than a very good chance even if Sheff. Utd win their game. But if we win at Watford then even if we lose to Utd on Monday then it's still in our hands. Either way it's going to be a difficult...

jurek

Before the game I was hoping for a win and 3 points. At half time I was hoping we'd go on and score a few more. When Norwich got their goal I was getting worried. But all's well that ends well and we got the 3 points. And hopefully no more injuries. And that will put a tad more pressure on Leeds and...

Without doubt an impressive record even though at times our football hasn't been that great to watch. Nevertheless it's what we do over the next 12 or so games that counts. Match or better Leeds or Sheff. Uniteds' results and we should be in there with a great chance especially if we beat Utd. at th...

jurek

You've got to hand it to Leeds.
They've come back twice now against Sunderland and now against
Sheffield United. Deservedly so by all accounts.

Tonights' result just about cements the title for them.
Unless we win most, if not all our remaining games!

jurek

I think we (fans, chairman, manager and players) all feel, if not know that we have to beat Sheff.Wed. on Friday if we are to maintain any hope of getting one of the automatic spots. Be interesting to see whether Parker changes anything and goes for it? Maybe start Edwards and/or Shelvey? Or at leas...

jurek

I suppose most Clarets would wish for Leeds to beat Sheff. Utd next Monday and for us to beat Seff. Wed. on Friday. And then for us to match or beat Utd. results until we meet at the Turf. It's not impossible but probably improbable. Time to throw caution to the wind and beat Wed. on Friday and then...

Relieved and pleased to read that a few posters thought
Lyle had a good game albeit he didn't manage to score.

I'd like to think he's going to keep on improving over the next few games
especially if he manages to get a few goals.

jurek

A must win in the sense that if we don't then the volume in terms of
'moans and groans ' will intensify and put additional pressure on the manager
and players.
I think the players will more than likely see it as a must win
and will hopefully got out and do the business - so to speak.

jurek

Like many I'd take a draw and for us to play well
and come away without any injuries.

A good win would delight me and no doubt all clarets.

Hope the fans get behind the team through out the 90 mins
and make it a memorable night.

jurek

If he helps us beat Rovers in whatever way then it'll be seen as an inspired move. If he helps us get promoted in whatever way (by scoring a few winning goals) then it'll be seen as an inspired move. Let's hope he can make an impact upfront. Love to know whether this was a Parker initiative or a Pac...

jurek

We've played 12 away and only conceded 5 having scored 15.
Won 7, drawn 3 and lost 2.

We've played 11 at home and only conceded 4 having also scored 15.
Won 6, drawn 5

That's some record.

jurek

THe next four games could well decide our season
and whether we can compete for a top 2 place.

So if we are be in the top two then
we need to win at Sheff. Utd
A draw at Middlesboro
Beat Stoke
And at least a draw at Rovers

That's 8 points and I'd be happy with that.
Any more and I'd be delighted.

Given the past few weeks and related performances
this goes down as a damn good win. We may nor be scoring many
but we're conceding even less and hopefully we can improve on getting
the goals.
Good to see Jay performing well.

jurek

Sorry repeated earlier post.

jurek

Just read that Van the Man to leave Man United.
Wonder now whether he was first choice before Parker was appointed.

And if so.... if Parker was to leave for whatever reason whether
we'd go back in for him?

For all those who lives were cut short
so those who followed could have theirs extended.
Thank you.

On a day that began with some depressing news from America and after which I
decided to be positive about the future watching this video of Burnley players visiting
this school and meeting some of the pupils was not far from extremely joyful and positive.

Thank you for posting it. It made my day!

I think it will take a while afore we can even talk about a settled team/squad. There's another break early October and we've got 5 games before then so hoping we can get to that point with another 10 or so points and still be in the mix. And then there's one or two injured who might be available by...

I've supported Burnley for the best part of 60 years if not more even though I very rarely manage to get to many games now. The word/phrase I might best use or have done in the past is 'an umbilical cord' which has been attached since my dad took me to the Turf way back in 1960/61. But at present I ...

I agree we shouldn't let any of our players leave 'on the cheap' but then again we may be over estimating what anyone player is worth. Ultimately they're worth what someone is willing to pay. I'm guessing we still need to bring in some money from sales and it would be interesting to know how much we...

Next Level...... whatever?
Freshness comes to mind/

jurek

I just wish we\d hurry up and appoint someone.
It seems as if we can't quite make our minds up.
Either that or there's something holding up an appointment.
If it's to be RVN then let's just offer him the job and if he's not certain
then go with Bellamy.

We've just got to get on with it!

jurek

Up until Spurs scored the winner was still hoping
for a miracle and we get one but as soon as that goal came up
knew it was all over.

Hugely disappointing season overall tempered by a bit of a revival
the last 6 or so games.

But inevitable really and sad that in many games we gave it away.

jurek

We've witnessed more than our fair share of miracles over the last 8 seasons or so
but this is one miracle that unfortunately i just can't see happening.
Spurs will not wish to lose 5 on the trot
And we'd also need Forest to lose to Chelsea.

Won't stop me from praying having said that.

jurek

Wherever or not they get another points deduction the game against Everton on Saturday is still as close to a must win (for both teams) as you are likely to get. And depending on how many points Everton get deducted then it may be a must not lose. No, sorry that's senseless. It's a must win whatever...

jurek

As mentioned om another post 'hope springs eternal'
but evaporated somewhat, but not totally, after last night's result.
If we lose against Everton then I'm afraid hope, in terms of staying up, will be extinguished.
