I heard they all had threatening little animations playing on their mobile phones and tablets when they arrived, hence the phrase....

"Beware of Greeks bearing Gifs"

No doubt they will get the advantage of using the turf for training thus giving them an advantage spared to us last week....

Having a day longer in England than we have away, these sides take European competition VERY seriously. I think that has come as a rude awakening. I also think it is highly commendable.

In fairness, Barcelona aren’t in a sh!t league, and when they failed to win in Athens last season against Olympiacos they played Messi, Suarez and the rest. Serious sides take Europe seriously. We’re just dipping out toe in the water, sadly. It’s not going to convince Burnley kids of a certain age this season to support Burnley rather than the big six.

If that's the case then it's down to parents and grandparents, including you!!

My grandchildren are in Bury and wear Burnley strips for school sports etc., even though there mother and her mother are Man U fans I made sure they got there kits early. There Grandfather on the other side is a big Spurs supporter but has a soft spot for BFC and sides with us in the face of the Man U family supporters :)
