I can't bear to watch Manchester City. All this adoration of Pep Guardiola, cheating FFP, etc.

Even Rocky could manage that team to the Premiership title.

Ruining football if you ask me.

But they are not running away with the league.

Not yet

Can you really see them sticking 4 or 5 past Utd at the moment when they play at Old Trafford?

financial greed has ruined football and changed the rules ....but any team can rise to the top if someone is prepared to spend billions

Not really, but Utd is also a giant, all be it they are not funded by companies earning money by slave labor...

They’re the best team and we were garbage.

Get over it.

I was over it from the minute I saw the draw - looking at the bigger picture now

And your comment is absolute garbage. Did you expect our reserve team to win against that City side? Seriously? You're a bit thick aren't you?

I didn’t expect us to get anything. I also didn’t post a thread ******* and moaning about my hatred of football because they are a far better team than us.

Tool.

But you said "we are garbage" - that was a stupid thing to put, surely?

Man City have been built to compete with Barcelona, Real Madrid and PSG - the sooner they all **** off into a Super League the better

Football might be better when they do, or at least level the playing field out a bit here as this is becoming tedious

They’re a sh1t Club, really. They were really a bit of a joke for years until they lucked out getting a brand new Stadium given to them and then inherited Billionaire Owners. Without this good fortune they’d still be bouncing between the top two divisions with boring monotony and providing comic relief for United fans.

That’s not Man City’s fault.

I quite like the fact that we got a great result against them last season and these threads only start when teams have lost heavily.

I wonder if Palace or Leicester fans will be thinking the same regarding a super league?

Ha ha! Not the brightest of responses but at least you are consistent.

We didn't have to play our reserve team though did we?

Now remind me again of where I said “we are garbage”

I like sport to be competitive, I love watching City in the CL because they are given a game

Don't kid yourself though, had Sterling not missed that sitter they would have gone on to batter us in the game you mention. It's why we should have sent the development squad today

Thank phook we are out,now we can concentrate on staying in the premier league for another season..

I can understand the upset at yet another thrashing at the Etihad by this City team. It just shows the gap between us and them. It is a bit pathetic really though given not one sbot on goal and highlights that we are short of a couple of greally good players including a midfield stopper in matches like this.

Yeah I can't wait for another season of struggling to scrape 35 points so we can finish 17th. That's what football's all about!

Oh my goodness, you really have me there. Changing the tense really confused the fact I thought you were being unnecessarily harsh on our team. I've seen your posts over the season and know how critical you are of everything Burnley so I don't feel too bad with a slight misquote.

Have a good evening!

We could’ve made it slightly more competitive by playing our best side. We probably wouldn’t have won, but still.

You can’t criticise City for pasting us when we send out our reserves. They are still competing on all four fronts but still played their big guns.

Fair dos. That comment wasn’t directly aimed at you but more the one’s throwing their toys out of the pram at yet another drubbing off them.

No we didn't need to but our manager thought this was best for our club for the bigger picture of staying in the PL. I hope, if we can establish ourselves for a few more seasons, then we will make more of an attempt at competing in the FA cup but the first port of call is the PL.

By the way we lost 5 nil with our first team too only a few months back?!

When we really were playing garbage!

They’re so good I find them thoroughly boring to watch. Seems like their fans feel the same way.

I thought exactly that today. Plenty of empty seats from the beginning and, not for the first time, a mass walk out from about 80 minutes.

Prior to this season we haven't struggled though!

Will people want Liverpool to leave the league if they go on to win it this year?

Every team can point to moments in games where they miss chances. Even we had a great chance to equalise today.

We still did better than most teams did against them last season.

As for this year, they aren't head and shoulders above everyone else.

Ah,I see... You would rather have us relegated and then try to get promoted back up in the next season ..

They way people are talking you'd think they are miles above everyone else in the Pl.

BurnleyFC wrote:Will people want Liverpool to leave the league if they go on to win it this year?

Suits me.....

would be horrendous if liverpool won the league. Doubly so if Leeds got promoted. Would be time to bin the TV and get off social media

Fair point!

I’d rather Liverpool win the league to mix it up. I don’t want a break away European League. People think that it will level the playing field but in reality the best of the rest will just get heavier investment and we’ll end up with a new ‘big six’ comprising of the likes of Everton, West Ham etc.

Fulham?

I’ve no idea but if the top few teams break away and join a super league eventually there will become a new elite, and we still won’t be one of them.

Bury v Lincoln has been far more entertaining

I'd like the rich old boys to stay, and the rich new boys to **** off.
Keep Spurs, Liverpool, Man Utd, Arsenal - all clubs that were good before money existed and then got better when money was discovered - and bin off Chelsea, Man City, Watford and Bournemouth - all clubs that, the odd season in the sun apart, were nothing until the money came rolling in.


I must caveat this by meaning 'outside money'. Money earned within the sport is fair, we all earn the same from sky give or take. Money earned from match day is fair, money earned from corporate is also fair. Money earned from benefactors is not fair and has done/is doing/will continue to skew the game.

Grr.

I'd rather operate the way we do, however I doubt any Rovers fans complained about how unfair it was for other teams when they became the richest club in the world when Jack Walker invested his money.

It's always good to play City, it's a yardstick to see how far we've progressed under Dyche.

You mean it’s a yardstick to show how much better than us Manchester City have got?

Why would I say that when we are so close to winning a cup and breaking into the top 6?
