Doing well with a team stripped of it's two best forwards who were responsible for the vast majority of their goals last season. Lost their captain and goalkeeper as well Maybe we just have to (begrudgingly for some) accept that he might be a good coach - perhaps he can read a game better than he can play one! Would explain all the pointing 😉

I was at the game but was only 11. My dad let me know how big a deal it was to see Moore's last game in English football!

Tbf to Wilcox he must have some backbone as he suffered so much abuse early in his career. Ditto for Andrews as he never hid despite the abuse he received. I always blame Ince for buying Andrews and playing him when he clearly wasn't good enough.

Good discussion on Monday Night Club on R5Live last night regarding Sporting Directors and playing 'philosophies'. Suggested works better on the continent as established way of working so everyone understands the concept and how to work with it On 'philosophies' one of the contributors said he asked Max Allegri about how he deals with this when joining a new club. The response was 'my philosophy is to look at the players I have and decide on the system they are best suited to'. Radical!

Bearing in mind general crowd levels around that period those gates show how important the FA cup was then. I'm guessing that most of those clubs had higher gates for that match than their league games.

Being surrounded by Burnley supporters I really enjoyed going to school after that weekend!

Yep. Me and my dad were there. Had dropped my mum in town for shopping and then we got lost going to pick her up! She was not happy when we eventually turned up. Worth it though to see the win!! No memory of Roger Devries tbh.

All the way back to Wilcox. Funny how Kenny seemed to rate him though.

Really balanced post.

I know there is a whole lot wrong in the States currently but 'no country has a worse human rights record in modern history than the US' - seriously? China, Russia, North Korea, DRC, Saudi, Afghanistan, Sudan - just for starters.

Lucky initially but a really good cross. Espanol's first goal wasn't bad either!

This sounds like bollocks as well. Why would an English football team owned by Indian Hindus make all food be halal?

Late entry for post of the year!

Bolton - a club on the up, that might be in the Championship next year, bigger crowds than ours and a largely united fan base. I'd take becoming another club like that compared to the shambles we have become. And why the hell would the EFL award us the points!

And we can still cling on to the fact that we've won it more recently than that mob up the road.
