For all the talk about high wages, ticket prices and bad publicity surrounding the Premier league I looked around the Emirates today realising it's grounds and stadiums like these that I'd rather watch Burnley play at.
We are competing against world class players and that's something I hope we'll be doing again next season!

That's it we are competing rather than just being whipping boys to the big clubs and relegation fodder in general.

I'm pretty sure we will be in Prem next season whatever happens between now and the end of Jan.
Talked with some Arsenal fans on tube after game. They thought Burnley gave it a "good go" today - they said we were much better than the teams that have come to Emirates and (tried to) shut up shop.

I want our club to be the best it can be and without question I want to be in the Premier League next season. It really is fantastic seeing us play in this league against the biggest teams in the land.

I am a Burnley fan through and through and I love what the club has achieved over the last four years and although I hate horse face we also were in the premier for one season before he jumped ship.
However I really can't abide the cheating, diving, holding at corners, etc etc and the fact that there are so many foreigners playing (yesterday Arsenal started with 10) and although it will be a great achievement if we stay up I wouldn't mind if we ended being in the Championship again.

Prices are cheaper for away fans in EPL.

Staying up may well mean we stay up for a while
We will gain more money to strengthen the team on top of whoever we bring in this month
I'm guessing also Keane may get a big move which will be more money to spend (not stupid spending)
We just need to risk a small amount now and push on
I believe the board will back dyche all the way
Especially after games like yesterday

Agree with Bin Ont Turf.
Our support very quiet yesterday. I was stood with a number of others trying to get some atmosphere going and got ejected from the ground for my "persistent standing". Even though thousands of Arsenal fans to our right were enjoying the game standing.

Yeah = they don't like singing the Arsenal stewards - it disturbs their reading

I quite like this division and seeing the best players in the world at Burnley,the only thing I wouldn't miss if we slipped out of the division is Sky constantly having games moved all over the place I know they pay the wages ..but they ain't half a pain in the ass,constantly having to juggle work with getting on the Turf is becoming a bind.

Although of course every club should aim for the top I still think the Championship is the most exciting division in English football.
