Pretty certain I was there that day. Was it just after David Moyes had been appointed and Beckham was there on loan ?
Forgot all about Fjortoft. That was back when they were a real club. Despite playing for the enemy, I never hated him. It was the same with Dean Windass. You’d expect that I hated such a B*rnley legend. But compared to the typical knuckle dragging sc*mmer, he was a pretty likeable footballer.
I remember going to see them up at their old ground at Burnden Park before they moved to the Riverside. Big Fat Sam was their star player. We never used to get anything there.
As much as you hate their players, When Jason Roberts was banging them in for them, I must admit I wanted him to join, even if he was a scummer.
Not sure what Dyche is saying here. Is it a thinly guarded swipe? “The club is a radical shift from when I was there, absolutely chalk & cheese, from a community club built on the community to now built on a model, but it has worked. They have done what they set out to do and probably more than they expected.” The bit I'm looking at is the we were built on community, now we're not. Is that what he's implying?
One thing they do have going for them is the famous vegan pies they they sell up at Ewood Road. Worth the trip to the dales if nothing else.
Yes, Saturday Night and Sunday Morning was filmed there with Tom Finney in the lead role - played scrum half as I recall. Terrible tangerine and white colours though.
He used to be a grafting coach making the most out of limited resources, now he's a cheating, whining ****.
He says something like this every time we play them. I'm sure in future therapy sessions he'll break down, sobbing "Gino didn't want me". Until that day, it will continue to destroy him inside.
Yeah, that's when they actually played decent football. Not sure they're style of play has recovered since Holloway took the reigns.
Is that the one where Sean Bean (A real life Burnley fan) plays a local lad who ends up getting picked for his beloved Burners and scores a penalty at Wembley
My memories of away games against them at Gigg Lane is terrible, Can't recall their ground being this bad. Must have been though.
Yup, and Hetty Wainthrop plays his mum. Classic gritty northern drama. It was also Gracie Fields last film appearance at her beloved football club.
Please stop disrespecting Burnley just because they come from oop north and are a relatively small club. We're better than that. Stupid jokes about grounds and games just make us look cheap.
I think we’re all a bit edgy ahead of the big game but it won’t be long till we’re all inside Spotlands singing our hearts out. Come on Watford, if we only win one more game this year, let it be tomorrow
An unveiled, gormless swipe. Shoeboy leaves an increasingly smelly scent in my nostrils. Really, really wanna win this one, etc.
Speak for yourself - I am quietly confident that we'll send the Trotters home with a bloody good hammering.
Cleverley seems a good choice for this match. Whether he is match fit for 90mins is questionable, though. If I was Burnley I'd target Penaranda to see what his temperament is like.
It's such a departure for a club, which under Dario Grady was the envy of the league for bringing through young players.
To think the club the great Sir Stanley Matthews plied his trade at for so long has sunk to these depths.
That fecker has a lot to answer for. I saw his 100% blade tattoo on fantasy football years ago and decided to get a 100% Hornet one done. Trouble is I got it in a font that means every time I flex my arm it looks like 100% horney. Was great when I was 18. Now at 42 it's probably time for a removal job.
Stop it,stop it immediately! You're all being very silly. Never liked them since that milk advert with Ian Rush.
