There are some cracking comments about our performance on the QPR match thread: https://www.fansnetwork.co.uk/football/ ... 323/page:1

For example:

"**BURNLEY MATCH THREAD** on 19:07 - Apr 26 by E17hoop

The gap between them and us can be summed up in terms of value of players. Their keeper cost them £17.3m - probably more than the entire value of our first team.

Best team performance I've seen at our place for a long long time - they were outstanding."

Yes they were very good. That really could have been 8 or 9. Even the goalie played like Franz Beckenbauer.
But then they were only really playing against 8 men - Madsen, Dembele and Ashby all should have been hooked after 20 mins.
Ashby - 0-4 down at home and tries a flashy back heel. Jesus Fckin Christ.

One comment says 'Burnley are an irrelevant team'

erm, QPR anyone ? irony alert.

League Cup as a third division club and third division title in ‘67.

Thought that was Swindon?

Beat WBA 3-2 after being 0-2 down. Rodney Marsh in their team and scored a goal.

"The gap between them and us can be summed up in terms of value of players. Their keeper cost them £17.3m - probably more than the entire value of our first team."

That's absolutely true.

However, does the same bloke recall Redknapp spending silly money the club didn't even have back when we were both going for promotion in 2013/14?

Three of us went in the home end , they were very complementary of our club , wouldn’t call any of them yuppies just ordinary folk supporting their club .
It looked like a premiership club versus championship and I’ve never seen that before from any Burnley team .
Next year is a massive jump up but we definitely have a better management team this time around , I’ve bought 3 season tickets something I haven’t done for about 5 years .
I led it at QPR , nice little club ,just about 15 years behind us.

Irrelevant I suppose in the sense we're not going to play them next season

Swindon beat Arsenal 3-1 in 1969, after beating Burnley in the semi-final. And you were playing for Swindon. Thought you'd have remembered.

Ive known a fair number of Rs supporters in my various dwelling places around UK, including a fair smattering where I live now. None of them bear any resemblance to "yuppies"
I'd say they're very similar to Clarets fans in general (and all very fond of that 1972/3 season and Dave Thomas).

Spot on.

Remember when we played Man United shortly after they had paid over £50 million pounds for Di Maria and that was probably more than we had didn’t in our entire history !

They've been dealing with the repercussions from that for years

TmYou are right. QPR far from yuppies. Good working class club in West London.

3 season pockets? Have developed 2 more bums or just got really large?

That was the day Duff sent him into orbit with a "let him know you're there" early doors I think

So grateful having seen that board to have our uptheclarets message board.
