Pre-Match View From Burnley — The View From

“The Chelsea game + Chris Wood - massive individual errors = result. That’s the formula for Sheffield United” “I’m not sure we played as badly as the score line last weekend, we did OK. Perform that well again against Sheff Utd and I think we’ll get a result whatever personnel are on the...

Amateurs. Brew four here. Mind you, I did start work at half five.

I wish people would stop calling this a Championship squad & one that "lacks quality." Total bollocks.

I remember it well. They had all the away end and A block in South Stand for some reason. They never shut up all game , well until we scored two late goals to get a draw we didn't deserve.
In the replay Deane was back and we were a different beast, he scored a hat trick and we won 4-2.

Thanks for that Although I still don't remember it If was during the Deane era, then I must have been there.

1993? The year we lost to Wednesday at Wembley we played them in the 3rd Round

Thanks Roy

Probably 1993, where Adrian Littlejohn got sent off for fighting with Adrian Heath. We drew 2-2 and won the replay 4-2.

At that time, Burnley were on the way down and ended up in danger of going out of the league, with a last day win in 1987 v Orient saving them if I recall.

Who needs Silent Blade?

Actually, I’ve just remembered, Adrian Heath got me tickets for the replay, I worked with one of his best mates and he sorted some out, corporate I think, which probably meant pie and pies with a light ale at Turf Moor.

 

[Carlton Blade]

The view from before the season, if I remember rightly the Burnley fans were a set of arrogant twats. That was eminently reasonable

2-2

It would have been my second but the young lad in the office made the first and it was like dishwater. Straight down the sink

 

[Brian Deane]

Cheers Roy as always.

 

[Speedracer]

Thanks Roy.
Looks like we are going to have to get used to being talked about positively by opposing fans, & long may it continue.

1993 FA Cup

 

[Anston Blade]

Seem to remember that there was traffic problems for the Blades in getting to the replay. There was only about 1000 Blades at kick off but more like 4000 for start of second half.

That replay was a pain to get to and plenty didn't make it due to the snow and ice.

We got in just as Burnley opened the scoring but Deano's hat trick (twice in a week he managed) put paid to that.

Remember plenty of racist abuse aimed at Littlejohn too that night. When he scored and did his gun toting celebration in their direction they surged down the terrace.

Apparently someone got hurt and the FA were more interested in charging AL with inciting the crowd than the racism he endured.

“If we lose to Sheff Utd on Saturday and make it 3 in a row, I’ll drive Dyche to bloody Morecambe myself!!!!”

Burnley played very well that day 2 up and time running out for us, I think it was early in Burnleys re-incarnation after being close to going out of the league.

I was on the John St terrace that night, Kop side. I think Paul Beesley scored the equaliser at the death, went mental!

I was on the West Terrace and that's how I remember it too. Crap game, great finish !

I wish people would stop calling this a Championship squad & one that "lacks quality." Total bollocks.

It's a bullshit lazy quote because we're using players who were in last season's side and who haven't played in the all-singing-all-dancing Premier League before.

It's just as easy to say that Chris Wood and Ashley Barnes (and a few more in Burnley's team) are "Championship" players. Except they're not, at least not any more.

Give it till the end of the season and, if we're safe, they won't be calling them "Championship" any longer.

I’d forgotten that, but I started out from Stoke, so straight up the M6, M65, so not affected by those problems (although I was obviously concerned for my delayed fellow Blades

 

[Edinblade]

There are currently quite a few “small” clubs in the Prem punching well above their weight. For me Burnley are one of those clubs. Compared to us; we have larger stadium, larger crowds and massive local rivals who are also punching well above their weight

 

[Kev Gee]

Always had a dislike for them since the Stan Ternant Vs Neil Warnock sagas.

Didnt Stan Ternant accuse Kevin Blackwell if listening into their team talk os something when he was assistant to NW?
