[Archived] The Championship 2013/14

Absolutely! And another red for Blackpool! That's 5 red cards in two games. Wow.

Greedy @#/?s, they must be making a fortune ! Allegedly !

Not sure what will be worse for you, that we are top or that we are top because you didn't lose :-)

You already know the answer to that one I suspect. Cracking home win 1-0 for your boys against the managerless bottom team ?

[longsiders1882]

And we were probably slightly fortunate as well - but it was 3 vital points, 4 games coming up that we will lose if we perform as we have been doing.

(ps remind me again where Charlton were when they came to Ewood :-) )

[Tom]

Heard the natives at Burnley were getting restless yesterday

Booed off at half time was it?

[longsiders1882]

Aye the Kean heads made themselves heard a little, really need to give their heads a wobble

[Blue blood]

Incey starting to show his true form.

Given what his 5 match stadium ban was for and his comments afterwards can he have any surprise that his team have such poor discipline? Ince reaping what he sows - which no rovers fan will be surprised about.

edit.... 'That lot have champagne tastes on beer money. I know the mentality of the Burnley fans because I have lived here for a long time '..... Stan Ternent 2002 on the Bunlee faithful.

Haha good anology. Bizzare how quickly expectations can rise. You would think our neighbours would be loving every minute of this, yet still some are booing. Crazy times

[Guest Norbert]

Maybe Oyston has encouraged the red cards in order to save on wages.

[longsiders1882]

You'd think they'd factor in spending no money, selling our top scorer and thank their lucky stars we are near/at the top bemoaning a 1-0 win against bottom of the league rather than being the bottom of the league - still are any football fans really that different?

I've no idea what size Blackpools squad is but putting out a team must be increasingly difficult!

[Guest Norbert]

Let's be honest Longsiders, many of us expected Burnley to be down with Sheffield Wednesday etc. for the reasons you stated. It isn't just Burnley fans, but many football fans are now spoilt, overbearing, impatient idiots who claim their team will win the league after two consecutive wins, and then demand the manager be sacked if they lose 2 in a row.

[longsiders1882]

I know Norbert. I myself confidently predicted a torrid season for us - that said when it transpires differently I find it best to simply enjoy it. These times don't come around all that often, it may well not last much longer so why bother being miserable about it now, I'll no doubt have plenty more opportunities to be miserable about things for as long as the club continues - most likely this season let alone future ones.

At the least you'll get to play another season at this level.

[longsiders1882]

Still need 11-15 points to be sure of that Tyrone

[Alex Rover]

Incey starting to show his true form.

Nasty piece of work and surely as bad a manager we've ever had (I try and forget the other one ever happened).

[roversfan99]

Appleton?

[Guest Norbert]

It is hard to pick a 2nd worst manager in recent years. I'd suggest Ince or Kidd.

[LDRover]

I'd say Appleton is the worst I've seen in recent years, he'd have got us relegated last year no doubt. Even Kidd had us around mid table in this division.

Sorry, forgot to mention - after Kean - he'd have been talking about staying up in League 1 about now.

[Alex Rover]

Interesting interview with the Ginger One and Henry Winter.

Hate myself for saying it but I can't help but warm to the guy.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

He talks a lot of sense.

[DE.]

It's easy to talk sense when your team are doing well.

[LDRover]

His team are doing well because of his stewardship. He's earned the right.

[Tom]

Yep got a lot of respect for him

His team are somewhat hanging on in the first ten minutes at Leicester they've got a battering but still 0-0 so expect them to win it

[Dunnfc]

Bloody dive! But an awful ball from Shackell

[DE.]

Boom,
