Oh come on T4E...you aren't that short

How about this, you find me a picture of a Burnley player with his hands on the Premireship trophy, and you can win this little competition of bragging rights, oh and I mean while he was at the club.

MGP for 17 million? Hmm...that would be terrible. I'd wait 3 or 4 years before deciding that I wouldn't bite anyone's hand off if they came in with that sort of money, at the moment though I would take it. Having said that, what makes me like him the most isn't the quality of his play, more just how he behaves. He seems to care and enjoy it, you can really tell it when he celebrates and goes to the crowd, very few of our players at the moment seem to have that in them.

Interestingly enough, from watching him the place I think he needs to improve the most is getting good crosses in. He obviously strikes a ball well and has good passing skills so it shouldn't be a problem. If next year we have threats in the box, he will need to beat his man and get the ball in, and the moment he just isn't doing it, though I can understand this as he only has Dickov and Gallagher to aim at.

Some people really are sad

It means for example if I sign: Edward Hewitt It isn't personalised as that could be for anyone If I sign: To Spencer, have a nice day Edward Hewitt Then it is

I like how the burnley supporters wouldn't know what to do with the cards haha

26000 really isn't bad all things considered. Not playing a big team even though it was a big game, recent results and the weather were all against us. So really that isn't too bad.

Earnshaw and Dickov...combined height of 4 foot. Having said that would love to see Earnshaw here. Earnshaw and Bellamy, now that would have a bit of pace to it.

No thanks, I think he needs the time and freedom to be able to get the ball and experiment. I don't think he'll fit into our plan and work ethic, and won't be in a situation to do what he does best, though there is no doubting his skill and talent.

The fact he was quite a regular in the MLS team of the season did indicate that he was something special - even if the league isn't the 'mighty' standards of the EPL. Um no not really. I've watched the MLS for years, especially when I lived there, and making the MVP team really wouldn't make you Premiership standard. Hughes did well to pick up on a player that few will have even heard of, and even fewer will have thought capable of making it in this league. I'm sure that both he and the player have been surprised by the ease at which he has adapted and just how well he has done.

Now let's just not do a Boro, massive result for us though

Anyone got Burnley in any European competition...Erm...oooo...wait a minute. Don't think I'll be able to find that one.

Well we've had the wind against us, so halftime should make it even easier for us. Let's see how Norwich wriggle themsleves out of this after calling us bullies if we hold on for the result *touches several items made of wood*

And that as captain and "star player" he hasn't been much of a success. I wish him the best of luck, and I'm not (that) bitter. In ten years no one will even remember who he is.

Quite right

He has been a member for several months, quite odd

Yeah, can't the messageboard get in trouble for "stealing" articles? Should cut that and replace it with the link.

I'm not saying he didn't contribute, I even say there that I understand why someone might think of him as being suitable for that role, especially when you take into consideration the fact that he is the second highest goal scorer in premiership history. Now is this a vote on best ever player, as in most talented to wear the shirt, or best player to ever wear the shirt based on his performance while he was a rover? If it is simply best ever, then certainly Cole becomes an excellent candidate. My point basically is, that every player up there at one point or another did something that the fans loved, and he was a great player for the club. Now if you happen to have a special liking for him and hold him dear to your heart then it would make sense that you would vote for him, even going as far as to disregard scoring statistics and the like. I'm not saying one is right and the other isn't, in fact I'm trying to fight against people who obviously think that way. Argue the case for whoever you want, if you don't convert then oh well, but don't be critical of those who for whatever reason like a certain player and think he was a great.

It's a phase. Scrapping for our lives and digging deep means we don't play the free flowing pleasant football we did two or three seasons ago, while our discipline was amazingly poor at the beginning of the season. It is probably about normal now, but every yellow card just makes it look worse. In a year or two it will pass, it just happens sometimes, it may even be gone by next season.

Andy Cole wasn't better. Jansen's goal were what got us back in the premiership, helped us stay up, and helped us win the worthington cup. If he has a special place in certain people's hearts then that is fine by me. I think you are all being so silly quite frankly, to think that your little spiels about a players career will ever match the joy and passion that comes from supporting the team when the player is playing and watch him out there scoring goals and bringing you the victories that we all want so badly. Stop being so damned closed minded. You think I am? I'm the one who thinks people should vote for whoever they want, you are the ones who keep saying that if it isn't the one you voted for, then obviously people aren't doing it correctly.

What? I thought most people wouldn't want to go?

Who says I voted for him? haha All I was saying was I could understand why people might. By the way, don't put people up on a list as possible votes and then vilify the person who does.

By god he has a lot to do if he wants to get Scotland's pride back.

Rubbish. Football is no more about individual emotions than reading a newspaper on the bloody toilet is. Football is so obviously a communal experience that I can't even be bothered arguing the point. DEFINITELY NOT. Eh? Agree with you, but do you read the newspaper on the loo with other people?
