Burnley fans thread
I believe they may have spent the odd quid more than us in assembling their squad. There you go then.

Bolton bigger than Burnley?
Bolton bigger than Burnley?
Initially gutted, I'm more disappointed/angry. Disappointed in Coyle who we saw as 'god' as he has gone and behaved in a wa y that goes right against the grain of what we are all about. And he has gone and taken all our backroom staff as well. And to Bolton! WTF! Be prepared to be disappointed Bolton fans, you're the next stepping stone.
So it's back to the drawing board, we've got Burnley legend Martin Dobson stepping in as caretaker while we regroup.
Personally I am so looking forward to Bolton's relegation while we survive. That would bring extreme pleasure. Might just have a wee bet on it.
Slightly bitter, then!

Bolton bigger than Burnley?
Yes. Bolton are far bigger than Burnley.
Depth of chairman's pocket? Maybe that's the way things are measured these days.
Otherwise very similar level clubs (unless one is quite young and bases it on recent events, but these are quite cyclical).
Hardly a big step up.
Let's face it, he's gone for more money. They can have him, and just like Big Stan he'll move on for even more money.
Well, Burnley have twice been been champions of England, and post-war spent about 20 consecutive seasons in the top 10. Over the years, Bolton may have had more years in the top tier, but I would have thought that on balance one would see them as clubs of a similar stature. Bolton are no Lpool, Everton, Man U/C et al.

That's my point.
So, what's this Premier League malarky all about then?
Any decent teams in it?
Auckland City aren't in it so you should be fine.
Next year Burnley tour downunder! Good luck for this season.
Well pleased that we had the Vaseline handy.
Actually Chelsea will be right up there this year. Absolutely sublime for a 25 minute period in the 1st half.
Off to Swansea next; they must be pretty shite. What have they done?
Well done by your lot Mike, you wanted it more than we did and you dominated
you might just have turned your season around
as for us, we need Jela and Dawson back - and I wouldn't be surprised if Meyler gets a run soon for Bruce to make a point about wanting palyers to have a decent attitutude
Yes
that curse your witch doctor put on us must be due to expire in a day or two

"The home side, buoyed by decent draws at St James’ Park and Manchester City in the past eight days, pressed to good effect but were unable to release Danny Ings or Ashley Barnes behind the Spurs defence and the contest had the air of a reserve team outing long before the referee, Roger East, brought respite with the half-time whistle. Pity the poor Burnley fan who had travelled from New Zealand to be here."
Turfmoore is that you?
No. But I did make it to the draw at Leicester in early October. Cracking game. Was doing other stuff in Europe(ie, not purpose of trip).
Burnley playing well in the first half. Spurs very much 2nd best at the moment.
Struggling to stay awake tbh! Might not last the 2nd half.
Be a sad day all around if you, us and Hull all get the chop.
Oddly enough, he will be a great signing. Gives 100% on the field, still a loose canon off it and ignore his twitter blitz. We should have signed him for 1 more season at vastly reduced rates.
!!!!!!!! That point - Well Done!
It's going to be strange with people actually noticing us in NZ. Been in the papers and everything.
Enjoy this absolute carthorse lads
