it does`nt appear to me that burnley will get automatic promotion,they don`t score enough goals and the recent purchases of the illiterate caveman barnes and the past it shelvey shows their is`nt much money to splash about,it`s the play offs for them and as we know,anything can happen then😁

Only the 5 in the first 45 minutes 😂

I know, we never got a peep out of them last season.

If they get pasted off Leeds on Saturday Monday* we'll see if they have anything to say.

*proof I don’t obsess over them like the sad tw@ts do with us.

Talk sport suggests Tom Cleverly about to be sacked at Watford.

[Mattyblue]

Appointed in April 2024, quite a long stretch by their standards…

[Tom]

Annoyingly Burnley will have chance to go top against Leeds 

Sheff United battering Hull but 2-0 down 

[chaddyrovers]

Hull deserve to win tonight. Better team

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Crazy result that for Hull.

[Lancaster Rover]

Championship really is a poor league this year. It’s a great spectacle as it’s so open but the top couple of teams are really poor in comparison to those who’ve been promoted over the last 6 or 7 years 

[Mattyblue]

Going to be right scrap down the bottom too. Good job we had that six game winning streak…

John Eustace as a notable former player there would likely be high on their list and he would welcome the opportunity to escape the ambitionless and shambolic Ewood Park. 

[Norbert Rassragr]

Eustace would be mental to go there. They'd sack him after a month.

[Groundhog]

Dull first half so far between them lot and Dirty Leeds

The battle of which turd you'd rather scrape off your shoe

Two pound shop Pep teams trying to out-sideways each other - like two crabs fighting over a pickled onion

[Tugayisgod]

It's the worst Championship in terms of quality I can remember.

Absolutely dire

[Darrenbot]

The fact that these 2 are supposedly the best the Championship can offer show what a tripe division it is,mediocrity on show.

[simongarnerisgod]

before the match started i watch a load of 80`s football on you tube,proper blood and thunder,tackles flying in everywhere,100% removed from this tappy tappy shite from both sides tonight

[Forever Blue]

Who’s the Dingle on co-comms? Absolute weapon

[cesus]

I bet Sky are absolutely devastated that they pumped all the money into this league. It is bloody awful for non followers of the league and it isn't great for the followers.

[simongarnerisgod]

must be frustrating to be a leeds fan when you have lots of the football but don`t actually do much with it

[Tom]

0-0 - the true winner is myself, as I didn’t watch a minute of it.

Burnley do know how not to concede.

[1874]

750 passes between the two of them and 1 shot on goal says it all about this dire game

if they lose any of those two at the back they might be in trouble,egan riley and esteve holding them together

[Groundhog]

Their goals against record this season is frankly bonkers, yet the two lads at the back don't look that good - yes they're quick and cover a lot of ground, and they seem to be able to stand up and snuff out 1 v 1s with ease, but I feel teams don't test them enough, we certainly didn't at Ewood - the commentators were waxing lyrical about them but I think I could have nodded away most of our attempts at crosses...

They get a lot of praise for their long diagonal passes, but tonight almost every ball was hit long.

What an awful match at the Hovel last night. The lack of quality was the most apparent thing to me quickly followed by both teams continually giving the ball away. If anything I thought Leeds just shaded it but when you look at the cost to assemble both teams it strengthens my opinion of Eustace.
