MIGHTY CLARETS versus Manchester City

[Longsider]

Get into em, get into em

[IanMcL]

Mumbongo does well again.

[IanMcL]

Fk us.

[wilks_bfc]

Mumbongo been getting lessons from Ashley on getting free kicks

[IanMcL]

Now one to them.

[NewClaret]

Mumbongo played well since he came on

[Goalposts]

Well done burnley new premiership record first club ever to have no shots on target for two consecutive games .

[jollyjack]

Got a feeling 20000 home fans might be more of an incentive in these types of games. 2-0 looks reasonable but would we have been able to motivate the lads a bit more tonight?

[IanMcL]

Pieters flies

[NewClaret]

Oh well, pretty pleased with the performance to be honest

[Longsidebovril]

Well done burnley new premiership record first club ever to have no shots on target for two consecutive games .

Did you have that ready to post?
Awwwww
Ffs

[Buxtonclaret]

Not often we get a 0-0 draw against this lot.
Well done, Clarets.






'ti's a game of one half...... sometimes.

UTC

[icu81b4]

I’ve a bet on at 0-5 . Not cashing out just yet. Quietly confident.

Oh you didn’t win - shame

[IanMcL]

All over.
0-2 is decent for us.
Phew!

Fulham lost. Hooray. Leeds losing.

Up the Clarets

[NickBFC]

Take 2-0! Fairly solid performance, no threat whatsoever of us scoring though, but apart from a daft mistake from Pope could have been tight. Big 3 games next. UTC!

[Steddyman]

Very good defensive performance and 90 mins into Vyds, who posed a threat.

[gsyclaret]

We need to get stuck in and not give them so much room, it's a bloody joke, too much respect.

[huw.Y.WattfromWare]

Final act of the match another abysmal cross. Game after game this is all we get. We need a specialist coach cos whoever is taking it on isn’t good enough. This is a practise makes perfect skill and we need to practise more.

[Longsider]

Well done burnley new premiership record first club ever to have no shots on target for two consecutive games .

So what. It's city and we didn't get completely trounced for a change.

[Gordaleman]

All things considerd, that wasn't too bad. Shame about Pope's early error. Who knows what might have happened without it?

No embarrasment and we move on.

C'mon you Clarets.

[Boss Hogg]

Oh you didn’t win - shame

I cashed out at 0-2. Tidy profit.

[Claretmisterg]

How come they always do us ? Seems like they go for early goal

[xxmunkyennuixx]

Absolute dogpops. A rancid performance. City didn't have to try. They were able to rest up in the middle of a league game. Didn't commit to any challenges.

C'mon you Clarets.

We’d have lost 1-0

[Prefeot]

Looks like Vyds is going to get 90 mins. He has looked sharp with the limited chances he's had to shine.

[tarkys_ears]

ANOTHER utterly shameful display

We used to come out of big games with dignity, now we are just a literal joke.

To think our manager will have been paid for this game. Disgraceful.

[Wellsy1882]

I hope he plays sat
Its jay that looks shite

[Wellsy1882]

I cashed out at 0-2. Tidy profit.

Never happened

[Longsidebovril]

Time to log out.

The twerps are everywhere.

[Boss Hogg]

Would have taken 0-2 before kick off. Better than foregoing the match. Looking forward to a more competitive match on Sat. Let’s hope Liverpool turn up later.

[BabylonClaret]

Penalty!!!! There's slight contact but that doesn't make it a foul. He steps past before he falls dive

[Tribesmen]

Ahhh well lest hope we don't see City agaian this season as there is always the FACup

[IanMcL]

Talking about the pen decision.

The fall bore no resemblance to the touch.

What has 'contact' got to do with anything????

Not a proper pen.

[exilecanada]

Well, 0-2 could be called somewhat of a success, didn't do too much damage to the precious good difference, which may come in handy. Now it's up to us to get a decent amount of points from our next 3 league games.

Onward and upward!

[Gordaleman]

We’d have lost 1-0

You worked that out quick!

Lots of better teams than us will lose by more against them. Indeed, several already have.

When we have a quarter of their money, maybe we'll have a chance. Until then, we suck it up and move on.

I had to turn it off.....awful.

didn't we just beat Liverpool at anfield the other week?

[Dark Cloud]

We didn't do too badly overall and I agree that Pope's early error meant any remote chance of an upset was scuppered before it ever got off the ground. We actually got into some decent situations going forward and could/should have made more of them at times. Our opportunities to get a cross in are absolutely at a premium right now, so can we stop sending in utterly awful ones and try to make them actually count please?

[tiger76]

No disgrace in losing to the team likely to be crowned champions in a few months, and 2-0 is at least respectable.

The better news is Fulham also lost at home, so the gap remains 8 points, I'd have settled for that after facing Chelsea and City, now we have games where we can pick up points, and these next 3 games will determine whether we pull clear or face a nervous end to the season.

Glad to see Benson & Mumbongo get a run out, the experience won't do them any harm.

[tarkys_ears]

didn't we just beat Liverpool at anfield the other week?

Shows what can happen when you try.

[IanMcL]

Pundits have swallowed this contact rubbish, hook line and sinker.

When they don't want it to ge a pen, it comes "There was contact....but not enough, for me, for a pen". "I agree, he felt the touch and went down too easily".

Later....therewas contact, he felt a slight touch and was 'entitled' to go down. Definite penalty, won by xxxx"

B ollocks!

[tiger76]

didn't we just beat Liverpool at anfield the other week?

We did clearly some posters have short memories, it's worth pointing out that West Brom got tonked 5-0 by City a couple of weeks ago, and they were 4-0 down by HT, does that make BFS a disgrace?

[claretgimmer]

Decent result given what we were up against, just bothers me though how we lack total creativity in and around opposition boxes and not just against the top teams, I don`t know if we have an attacking coach or if we do who it is but he`s not earning his money if we have

[Bosscat]

Tonights result means nowt in the greater scheme of things ... Fulham getting done over leaves them 8 points adrift of us is far more important.
Realistically anyone tginking we would get something from Citeh (looking at our recent history) is in cloud cuckoo land.

The most important thing is we were not on the wrong end of another 5-0 ...

So we park this and move onto Brighton on Saturday ... now there is a game that matters

Come on you Clarets

[boatshed bill]

Football is basically crap these days.
The rule changes (from the game I grew up with) have completely ruined it.

B ollocks!

Could not agree more and it has helped destroy the game. I’d rather watch The Big Match Revisited than (Burnleyless) MoftD, and it’s not as though they didn’t dive, but they got to made stupid for it... why did that change, sure the rule didn’t.

[Boss Hogg]

Never happened

Ha ha bitter. Always bet against v Man City but not a very regular better. Won on the last match too but cashed out at 4-0 instead of waiting.

[Leisure]

We'd still get beat easy! Would have left out probably Jay Rod

Why, was he playing?
