A lot of mutual respect going on. Fair result and proper supporters. Particularity liked :-

“So it is possible for two teams to play a PL game without feigning injury, rolling around and trying to get players sent off?! Total respect for Sheffield United and Chris Wilder.”
 
Within 13 minutes & in the Top 10.
Not a lot to argue with in there.
 



Stop it, knob.

Wow....generally accurate and fair comments.

Agree....we were the better team and played some slick passing football at times.
We did most of the attacking and had more half chances and corners
Burnley didn’t attack much BUT they did have the clearest chances missing some sitters and could easily have won.

Overall a draw was probably a fair result.....we were terrible against Villa, Newcastle and Man Utd
but thankfully against Spurs and Burnley the weather was much cooler and we now seemed to have finally found our pre lock style of play.

Didn’t pick up on this during the game, but really good point

Both genuine managers who I reckon would discourage players from flailing around and screaming at the slightest touch

It may not have been the prettiest game for the purist, but I would rather see a proper game played by men like that than some of the tartisty that Arse v Spurs

We had the bigger chances count, but they had 2 very clear ones
Fair result
 
Dees guys are alright.
Couple of good points Egan's goal was a beauty, thank you for noticing.
Hendo's save from Rodriguez was poor, thankfully McNeil made the wrong decision on where to put it.
 
Always liked Burnley, seem pretty down to earth and in many ways similar to ourselves - I agree with the comments about two teams not diving around and faking injury, that was refreshing to see.

I think the more teams like ourselves and Burnley can be competitive in this division the better, shows it can be done without a sugar daddy.

Exactly............. I thought it was a quite enjoyable game two teams with no theatrics both wanting to win the game. Burnley probably had the two best chances in the game but we also had good chances too even if they were more difficult, apart from a spell after the water break and a few breakaway's we dominated the game. Both set of fans will think they could have won so maybe it was a fair result. 4pts in the last two games against top 10 sides can't grumble too much I suppose.
 
Seem a very reasonable set of fans there, as opposed to the hordes of neanderthals giving a boatload of gloating abuse wembley car park in 2009...
 
“He is a genuinely nice guy. I know him from his time at Halifax, when my old man was poorly Chris was round at the house regularly”

Good comment that, pretty respectful comments across the piece.
 



Great to see O'connell back, and to say it's only a few days since we played Spurs off the park I think the lads did very well and fully deserved at least our first away point since the shut down.
Just like any of our seasons so far under the Dynamic duo a slow start is starting to build up it's momentum because today against an inform team it could just as easily have been all three point, they got away with one and they know it.
What a great goal that was from Egan, magic our Morris, that never say die spirit is back,

COME ON YOU RED AND WHITE WIZARDS !!!!!!!! :D
