Yes, he said that he admired the way we played without the ball and that it was great to watch. Said it was like it was choreographed the way we moved/covered as a unit.

It is choreographed, but we have to keep it secret. Let them think we just park the bus, and they won't try and work it out.

It's the pies wot won it.

The other two sniggered but Jonathan went on to explain that watching the Clarets is like watching choreography -especially without the ball.
It appeared that he was the only one that actually watches the game rather than sit composing another fawning piece about the injustice of the makeweight sides having the nerve to turn up and actually try instead of simply rolling over for the inevitable defeat by the ‘big clubs ‘,

Shame he wasn't as complimentary with his written words

I think it was the first time Burnley had ever been mentioned on this program.

It's like a game of chess. Some people would prefer all out action with a move every second. Others would prefer to understand the thinking behind each move.

Burnley are increasingly cited as a benchmark for a variety of things football related.

The other two were John Cross (Arsenal fawning "reporter") and Sam Wallace.

Last question asked on SS was if you could watch any other team and have to pay money to do so which would it be

The guy from the independent said Burnley and went on to explain about the choreography of the movement when the team hadn't got the ball.

I think at the moment it would have to be Liverpool under Klopp.

Other teams in the premiership that Ive enjoyed over the years have been

Spurs under Redknapp

Newcastle under Keegan

Arsenal under Wenger ( still enjoy watching them but inconsistant now )

And will watch Napoli tonight .. they are a very good team and a joy to watch under Sarri

What teams would you pay to watch

If you remember he wrote a favorable piece relating to the poetry of our movement before he wrote about us being xenophobic.

Adamsons Burnley
Atkinson's WBA and not just because of last week's terrible news.
Robsons Ipswich.

We were reading a few months back how our CHs took the posts at about the penalty spot area so that any shots from outside the box went straight down the middle to the keeper. Ash yesterday ran straight out at Danilo, nobody took either side and he bent it into the far side. Work needed this week.

John Cross is weary, can't see past Arsenal. At least Ollie Holt, when he's on, is a Stockport fan and they don't get a mention.
