What a season. What a team. What a manager and then to top it off we clinched the title at deadwood... This is one we will never forget.

Makes up for Saturday-we found a way to win when being under the cosh for large parts of the game. A magnificent display by Barnes on a night where 4 or 5 off the team were very poor, but what I like about VK is he makes the right changes, until right at the end. Thankfully no VAR as a clear handball by Ash in the last minute. Wonderful performances from Cullen, Al Dakhill, and both Benson & Cork when they came on

I can't believe you put your own son before watching Burnley. What kind of example are you setting as a parent! He'll become a City fan if you're not careful.

Best bit about it is that two of his teammates didn't play....because they were in the home end at Ewood

The Burnley shirt will be proudly worn at training on Thursday!

Doesn’t get any better than winning the title at Deadwood. A wonder strike, Barnes laughing at the losers,horses heads.chickens heads and some penalty controversy to give fatty Dunn some payback. Be nice to see a picture of him storming off again tonight just to put an extra cherry on the cake.

Well I bet the management of the disgusting club we played tonight are so proud that they robbed at least 5000 Clarets of the best night of their life. Oh yea and robbed themselves of about 150 k. And then their players acted like children at try he final whistle. Not the best night in The History of BRFC but they 100% got what they deserved

Not that any of it matters because we've just actually won the championship at Ewood, but we had one shot on target all night (thankfully it was all that was needed!!!) and Chaz almost chucked one it with some sort of weird, bungled Cruyff turn in our own box. Gloat all you want at being above pre-game nerves, but the team selection looked sketch as fk, and we were a missed handball decision away from potentially blowing it.

Not that I care about how we win in this game. All that matters is that we win. But please get over yourself.
