davieG Posted 25 May 2009 Posted 25 May 2009 I do hope Burnley win the play-offs, a proud club one of the founders of the FL, won the top League twice and the FA Cup once. In my youth they were one of the top teams playing glorious football with some talented players like Jimmy McIlroy and Jimmy Adamson something in the modern game they can only dream of. An unpretentious club that was considered big in the past but narrowly escaped relegation to the Conference as recently as 1987. Fair enough they've not provided much in the way of entertainment over this last decade, in fact the recent away games there have been some of the worst I've witnessed but then we as much to blame for that as them. To have turned that final day of 1987 around and be on the brink of promotion to the Premier League is a fantastic achievement that those fans of 1987 would never have foreseen. I wish them all the best.
fantastic_mr_fox Posted 25 May 2009 Posted 25 May 2009 To be honest I don't care about this game either way....usually there's a team that I want to fail miserably but on this occasion I think I'll have a BBQ instead BUT...if I was to pull my finger out I would say Burnley because Sheff Utd used to be managed by Neil Warnock - pathetic reason but it's the only one I can think of...
Samilktray Posted 25 May 2009 Posted 25 May 2009 Hope Burnley go up, cant stand Sheff United. But I cant help but think Sheff Yoo will be too strong for them.
Ben Posted 25 May 2009 Posted 25 May 2009 Come on United, don't know what I'd do without Burnley on a Tuesday night
ousefox Posted 25 May 2009 Posted 25 May 2009 Yup come on Burnley! I want two trips to Sheffield next season.
Fosse Boy Posted 25 May 2009 Posted 25 May 2009 Yup come on Burnley! I want two trips to Sheffield next season.

Ashley Posted 25 May 2009 Posted 25 May 2009 I hope Sheffield United win today. I've got family who support them. Come On You Blades.
Corky Posted 25 May 2009 Posted 25 May 2009 It would be horrible to see that thug Chris Morgan lift the play-off trophy, so I want Burnley to do it.
Kilworthfox Posted 25 May 2009 Posted 25 May 2009 Burnley for me We never beat them and they are always awful games, unlike against Sheff Utd. Also another night out in Sheff with the lads
Darkzzz_ Posted 25 May 2009 Posted 25 May 2009 I would like to see Burnley go up. I really admire Owen Coyle.
Tevez Posted 25 May 2009 Posted 25 May 2009 Burnley deserve it. Owen Coyle has worked wonders up there.. Come on!!!
Koke Posted 25 May 2009 Posted 25 May 2009 Yeah I wish Burnley all the best. No more 1-0 defeats home & away to them.
Bert Posted 25 May 2009 Posted 25 May 2009 Would prefer Burnley to win even if it means no Turf Moor next season.
MarkDeVries Posted 25 May 2009 Posted 25 May 2009 It would be horrible to see that thug Chris Morgan lift the play-off trophy, so I want Burnley to do it. I was looking for a reason to want either team to win/lose and I think I just found it. C'mon Burnley!
Fox You Forest Posted 25 May 2009 Posted 25 May 2009 I hope it's as good as yesterdays playoff game. Doubt it though can't see it being as open or either team being as poor defensively as yesterday. C'mon Burnley.
davieG Posted 25 May 2009 Author Posted 25 May 2009 I hope it's as good as yesterdays playoff game. Doubt it though can't see it being as open or the either team being as poor defensively as yesterday. C'mon Burnley. I expect some punch ups and at least one red card, hopefully Morgan.
Thracian Posted 25 May 2009 Posted 25 May 2009 No great preference for me. Like DavieG, I've a soft spot for Burnley due to watching the wonderful they had in the days of McIlroy when fixtures against Leicester often seemed to involve a glut of goals and incident. However with my grandfather on my mother's side being Sheffield born and bred I cannot say I'd be sorry if Sheffield United won although I was looking forward to a further trip to the real ale pub we visited there a couple of season's back - if not a repeat performance on the pitch!
Finnegan Posted 25 May 2009 Posted 25 May 2009 I'd hate to see both Sheff Utd and Stoke in the Prem. Both boring, dire clubs! Burnley t'is.
Free Falling Foxes Posted 25 May 2009 Posted 25 May 2009 5live are currently looking back at previous finals. They've just replayed Claridges goal v Palace and are looking at us v Swindon any minute now
