First half best performance ive ever seen from us. From back to front they were immense. Cork and defour were outstanding. The back four. Vokes. Everyone of them were unreal. Naturally came under pressure from first minute of second half.

Atmosphere even at nil nil was as good as ive seen away.

Proud to be a claret.

That first half was the best I've seen since we beat Forest in Dyche's second season.

I think that's the best win in my lifetime.

Fantastic stuff, played some really good stuff in the first half.

Listening to Radio 5 for that lat 20 minutes (and particularly the last 6) has to be about the most sick-inducing nerve-shredding downright life-endangering thing I have ever done.
Cannot wait for MOTD ...what a result !!!!

Ridiculous result.

Well done the lot of them.

They were all excellent in the first half. Defour absolutely ran the show, joy to watch.

3 points
Away
Against the champions
3 goals
Team spirit
Player their socks off

So many amazing things from that game

Antonio Conte, Eden Hazard, Alvaro Morata,David Luiz .....we gave you boys a HELL of a beating

Wow just Wow!!!

Absolutely unbelievable first half.

Bloody fantastic.

1st half was probably the best midfield performance I've seen from us. Got on the ball, used it well, worked hard in packs without it, won the second ball and put some real quality into the mix.

I couldn't believe how composed we looked.

Very proud. Really enjoyed the 1st half. Spent the whole 2nd half bricking it though.

Proud isnt the word, the way our midfield set and play is a pleasure to watch. If we stayed with that formation from here on in, I can see is amounting a higher points tally than last season. Bring on the bogie team in West Brom and see if we can undo the hoodoo


UTC NNN

Fourth time we have beaten the existing Champions but the first time we have done it away from home. IMMENSE

Yes and some assh*le is criticising Tarky on another thread for losing Morata, with his Champions League pedigree at Juventus and Real Madrid, for the 2 Chelski goals. That is what is really UNBELIEVABLE

That last 20 mins was like the last 20 mins of the play off final for me... Wanting to believe we would do it but just struggling to see us doing it

Excellent performance in 1st half, feel like we didn't take advantage of the additional players in 2nd half though. Class team to play against so should have expected they would bring the game to us in the 2nd half.

Well done Lads - got the away win monkey straight off our backs.

Positive coverage might make us seem a more attractive proposition in the transfer market over the coming weeks........

Ohhhh yer beat the champions each year we have been in it .

A wonderful afternoon even though they came back at us with only 9 players.

The midfield was immense.

Ward shot a bullet.

Great all round performance and top support from Clarets fans..

Chelsea fans that I spoke to, were good sports.

Today we had a strong capable referee who wasn't going to be bullied by a home crowd..

MOTD is a must and we're on first..!

Shearer was oozing compliments afterwards

Did someone say that the pre-season had been "underwhelming?"

I'm sure about now Sean is telling them "one game at a time..."

Very strong ref. As dyche alluded to. Funny if you havent heard it its worth searching for

Chelsea fans werent happy that he was such a good ref.

...but they did this against Celts Vigo.

Sean Dyche is fncking brilliant.

I'm going to write a song about it, so that they can never say it's about the unsung heroes,

What Chelsea need is a trillionaire Arab to replace the billionaire Russian so they can compete with little old Burnley.

How come defour was playing deeper than cork? Thought cork was the holding midfielder allowing D4 to go forward

They have only spent 129 million in this window after all, got to feel for such a cash strapped club .

We are Burnley.

How did Andre play for the mighty Watford, didn't see the game?

Fans were outstanding today. Dont always see that in london games. They were superb though. Hairs on neck.

Aaah..but you missed our cup win there! That was a special night.

I thought we were pretty solid today, not really sparkling in any way but Chelsea just could not hurt us on their, rare, attacks in the first half. I didn't really see us getting out of second gear but what I did see, which was heartening, was just an absolute comfortable performance as a team.

Came on for the last twenty-five minutes but had little impact.

Isn't this what is so wonderful about football.

We go to Chelsea, fearing but hoping we don't get a thrashing, maybe just lose 2-1 or so, and this happens. It will go in Burnley annuls like the win at Luton, the League Cup draw at Chelsea and others.

Superb!

After last week's events we're in the headlines for the right reasons.
Second season syndrome? Bring it on!
Simply awesome performance and result

A bonus 3 pts to start the season, unbelievable but well deserved. I'm going to gloat over the reports today, then back to reality.
One game at a time. If anyone takes WBA for granted we'll get bitten. Thankfully we have Sean to keep our feet on the ground.

I never expected that result yesterday, but the performance first half, with 5 across the middle, was exactly what I expected. I hope all the doom and gloom merchants can now give their heads a shake, and accept that SD and the board know what they are doing.

Dyche certainly knows how to set a team up. Extremely well organised and they looked like they really enjoyed themselves. Every player knew their job and it was an extremely professional display. They weren't intimidated when the Chelsea fans were baying for blood and kept their nerve even at 3-2. Such a shame that Robbie Brady free kick didn't go in. A well deserved win. Let's hope we can build on that.

Read post #10, if anybody needs any future advice on modern day football I'm always knocking about on here in between earning a fortune and loads of shagging.

I'm beginning to think the pagan rituals i practiced when staying at the Copthorne Hotel in May were worth the pain

Outstanding amazing result

The only complaint (and it is a small one) is that our game management when they went down to nine could have been a lot better.

But thats not likely to happen again!

Be interesting to see what formation we line up with against the Baggies.

37 points to go

1970/1971 Mon 26 Apr Chelsea 0 - 1 Burnley League

I think this was the last time we won at Stamford Bridge.

Another myth put to bed

They did indeed. Every time I looked at Brady he wasnt playing with a smile on his face - he was laughing!
