We're not so much a Mini anymore either.

Maybe a VW Golf with go faster stripes?

Certainly a fair reflection, pretty much every Burnley fan hates the dire football we play some just put up with it because of the results.

Not if Jimmy Mullen got hold of it first.

I saw Satn in the kettledrum last week. He looked better than ever. Being out of the management game has done wonders for him! Either that or his surgeon is as good as his dentist!

If you keep saying the same thing again and again and again, you do eventually come to believe everyone agrees with you. In spite of all evidence to the contrary.

You can't speak for every Burnley fan.

If you like that style of play then you're a rare breed. I'm almost sure its the results you like and not the style of play though and there is a difference between the two, not that I should have to point that out.

It has absolutely nothing to do with what I think, I made the assumption based off what plenty have said on here.

Is he continuing to get the results though? 2 wins in 16.

Your assumptions do not reflect our fan base. Here is a fact, I have seen every game we have ever played in the premier league and I go to matches with a wide selection of other supporters, some see most games and others only a few and whilst we debate many things about our team.....I have not heard any criticism of our style of play this season.

Have your mates got cataracts ?

I am not knocking what we do, it's very effective but not attractive in the slightest.

Yeh what was really dire last season for me were the thirty yard screamer v Liverpool followed by the flowing breakaway goal where Andre turned65 millions worth of defenders inside out.

Hendricks goal v Bournemouth
Flowing counter attack move 3 passes over 70 yards for a Barnes winner.

Boyds sublime pass v palace
Gudmonssen goal v palace

Etc etc etc.....so **** 15000 have renewed and games will be sold out week after week.

Change the record.

You're talking about individual moments, I'm talking about our style of play as a whole. Who really likes seeing there side clinging on every game? 30% of the ball every game? God knows how many away games it took us to see a shot on target. Anyone who says they enjoy watching hoofball is lying.

Er...no. I think our possession exceeded 40% last season. But suppose that doesn't fit your agenda as much as the above.

Stan gave us some enjoyable times, but seemed to lose all belief in what could be achieved following the On-Digital debacle. The rug was pulled from under him and he never really recovered. He clearly got the club looking in the right direction and deserves gratitude for that. I suspect the op is tongue in cheek, but we are a very different club to the one Stan managed. All parties have moved on some distance since then.

Which bit of "you can't speak for every Burnley fan" didn't you understand?

We get it. You would rather watch Burnley have 60-70% possession and five or six flowing moves ending in goals every game. Well, so would I. But the difference is, just because I can't get everything I want doesn't mean I'm going to sulk and refuse to enjoy anything at all. Some children ask Father Christmas for 10 expensive toys, and if they only get 9 of them, they have a miserable Christmas. I bet you were one of those.

Now you're completely over exaggerating my point, I would like to see us pass with a real purpose not just welly It anywhere upfield and drop in and invite pressure.

He does have a point. We should be footballing to death some of these teams that spend £100 million every transfer window.
I don't know why the fans put up with occasionally beating them

Stan was a real old school character. Miss his interviews, could be a real charmer.

Clearly wasn't the point I was making, you're clearly lacking a brain so I won't bother repeating/explaining myself again.

Nobody gets or agrees whatever point it is you keep banging on about KRBFC - it's very easy to say you want more expansive champagne football without saying how we could achieve this and with which manager or players.

What we do get is you don't like SD - as you never stop whinging about it.

Fortunately for the club you are in a very small minority of about one...possibly 2 people. The rest of us are loving the times under SD and despite your disbelief we love watching Burnley play.

It's actually quite sad that you are not enjoying this period for BFC....as there is a good chance you are never going to enjoy watching us if you can't now.

It's beyond sad - these are the best days we've had in years.

I think the enormity of what we have achieved really hits home when the fixtures come out. United not Bolton Arsenal not Fulham etc.
