But they were battered at Liverpool and Southampton, played against 9 men at Chelsea... and their home fixtures. **** me their home fixtures!!!! West Brom Palace Huddersfield West Ham Newcastle Swansea They've played the bottom 4 at home, and Huddersfield & Newcastle. I don't mind them but surely their luck will run out... Why do you conveniently forget the AWAY fixtures? Burnley have had the hardest away fixtures so far - 6 matches including Chelsea, Man City, Spurs and Liverpool (only lost to City). We were 3-0 up at Chelsea against 10 men not 9 and could easily have won 2-1 at Liverpool instead of drawing. Ben Mee had a late header hacked off the line and then forced Mignolet into a brilliant point-blank save. As for luck, the only match we were really lucky was the home win against Palace who should have won 3-1 or 4-1. Our only home loss was against West Brom - and Dyche rates that as Burnley's best home performance (Jon Walters missed a late sitter). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 19 other teams in the PL to discuss. There's something on here about Dyche almost on a daily basis - surprising for a man so despised by many Foxes fans because he got under Pearson's skin. Because in the last 5-6 weeks we, along with Everton, West Ham and WBA, have been linked with Dyche. That's why his name pops up quite a few times on this thread. But make no mistake pal, he is still a touchy cvnt with an inferiority complex who play anti-football but is getting results with it at a club with little to no pressure.

Burnley are a decent side and I don't watch their games - but every week every highlight on MOTD is Pope playing an absolute blinder. You can't seriously sit there and tell me Burnley haven't had their fair share of luck over the last 18 months. The amount of scrappy 1-0 home wins you guys get is testament to a good defensive spirit, but there's certainly a good share of luck involved.

As we know MON is very ambitious, he likes to be managing teams challenging for europe, West Brom are normally happy just finishing 14th. Surprised MON isn't linked more to the Everton job, think he could serious business there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is this generation version of Pulis and Allardyce - turgid one dimensional football that gets results. He will leave Burnley for West Ham in the summer and in the next decade he will bounce around to save clubs from relegation like WBA, Stoke, Newcastle, and unfortunately possibly ourselves. You'll still have the spite and thorny opinions, but he will have the money and recognised if even moderate success... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You has a city fan, will argue that over 18 months we had the great escape and PL title, and that had nothing to do with luck... So dont take digs at other teams runs over 18 months...its immature. Burnley deserve credit fot their last 2yrs fortunes and success. Dont please dont become a knobhead like Liver'pl and Spurs supporters, who just dont know how to be graceful to other clubs... Too many hypocrites, emerging on this forum, whine over other fans, then carry on following the same nonsense Edited 22 November 2017 by fuchsntf 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davieG Posted 22 November 2017 Share Posted 22 November 2017 One supporter has called for David Moyes to be sacked after one game "David Moyes, mate, It's time for him to go, I think. After one game. "Listen mate, in this day and age, when you in that manager to have this kind of rescue mission, you need to get off to a good start. And this guy, he's come in and he's lost his first game. "And I've seen the lack of passion [on Sunday]. I've never seen anything like it, mate. What I want to see is an east London lad taking charge. Mark Noble, right?

Unsworth mentioned that he's been in talks with the board/owners about recruitment plans for January, so it could be seen that certain people they had firmly in mind had rejected the Everton opportunity and now he could be carrying on - should results improve under him - for perhaps, at most, until the end of the season?..(which is very risky, considering he's still gaining experience at the top level).

You're not used to being the topic of conversation I see. Why not discuss Burnley and Dyche? After all, this is the most successful that club has been in years. Also, we're a similar sized club and most would expect the positions between the two clubs switched. There's more than likely some envy in there. I appreciate how Dyche sets his team up and seemingly maximising results on the pitch. It's testament to the good job he, his staff and players are doing. The football is not particularly easy on the eye, but that's OK. I think stats back up how incredibly sharp and fortunate Burnley have been with conversion of chances. It hasn't felt like they have carved the opposition open many times or create high quality chances on the balance of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not even December! We haven't played the same teams. How anyone can be envious of Burnley is a mystery to me. They haven't won the top division in my life time nor the Cup since before the War (the first world war) or the league cup since it was created.
