I'm with Fife Rover's viewpoint, well played Burnley, credit where it's due, bad break to lose like that. Coyle is showing himself to be a damn good manager. That said you are still the anti Christ's team so that's the end of the goodwill from me. Hope we get to play each other real soon so we can show you what a proper premiership team looks like.

Wembley feels like the other side of the moon if you live in Tottenham! A lot more than 10 minutes. Not that they deserve to be there.

I'm sure all Spuds fans don't live in Tottenham jbn. Or are you under the assumption that they all meet at the ground first before heading off for Wembley? :)

Are you sure about that? According to this link he's played in a few victories, albeit not in the league.

The issue is that Spurs have never won a match in which Gareth Bale started . He is curently equal on either 12 or 13 I think with somebody else who I cannot rem at the moment.

Unfortunately I was not able to watch the match because I was away out to my grandsons birthday celebrations up in Perthshire. However, I have got the gist of the match from reading the previous posts on this thread, and it is obvious to all except the most thick and blinkered that Burnley played very well in the two matches overall. Added to which if you look at the difference in the relative wealth and resources available to each of the two clubs concerned, then Burnley's performance becomes almost miraculous.

But all that is just a general impression available to any football fan anywhere; it does not take into account the actual performance on the pitch of the players and the manager and coaches that got the players to produce it in spite of having a very small squad available to do it with.

So as a lifelong Rovers fan I salute you Burnley FC. Very well done! And to all the idiots who have besmirched the reputation of BRFC fans by writing the garbage that they have produced in many of the earlier posts I say: it is time you lot learned the difference between normal friendly rivalry and downright stupidity. Some of the comments make me cringe in their sheer blind hatred and senseless vulgarity. These people need to know the difference between the normal banter that goes on between our two proud clubs and the vile but utterly uncalled for and brainless filth that is often trotted out on this MB. To the culprits I just have one thing to say and that is either get a genuine sense of reality about football club derby relationships or else at least stop writing your stupid and vile filth on this MB. Grow up!!!!!!

Spot on.

I remember them beating us 3-2 at Ewood in 1979 and being there, but they are still a Lancashire club! I would love for them to meet us in the premier league next year, as opposed to the championship.

The more Lancs club in the premier league the better!!!!!!

Champions League and Premier League have devalued the FA Cup greatly. 25-30 years ago my mate was in Milan on business and took the chance to watch Inter v Sampdoria in an Italian Cup match in the San Siro. A great fixture? Only 15000 in to see it. He was told that in Italy the cup was considered unimportant. At the time neither of us could quite grasp that concept. The crowds at Turf and Ewood this week illustrate that the FA cup nowadays is nothing more than an almost irrelevent side issue too.

Unlikely I know with them going to Arsenal, but a Rovers/Burnley semi at Wembley anyone?

The FA will be horrified at that thought. Hardly worth putting the electric on for. :rolleyes:

btw Sounds like you have written Coventry off already Simon? :unsure:
