Burnley

I am disappointed when I hear people on here complaining about Burnley, and often saying they shouldn't be in the PL.
They are a well run club, the team probably cost less than Pogba, they are from a smallish town.
Whilst they will never have the skills of top players, they can run as hard, work as hard, play to their strengths be well organised.
There is no reason for them to come to our place and give us a pleasant evening, whatever we like least is what they will give us, and quite right. We have an hour and a half to impose ourselves, take our chances. They got a deserved point, and almost had a famous victory.

There is more than one way to play football, I was lucky to be taken to Old Trafoord, became a fan and love the United way.
But if I was born in Brierfield and taken to the Turf for my first game I would be a claret and blue supporter and proud of my team last night.

So let's all grow a pair and stop complaining when a team doesn't roll over for us, but stands up and gives it their best shot.

I've definitely read it Busby, but whether it was on match threads or comments on an article I can't remember, and can't scroll through everything to find it.

It's not just Burnley either. Teams like Newcastle or particularly Stoke in the past. People b**** about them when they play their team, but are more than happy to celebrate the same tactics when they take points off rival teams.

They’ve led by 2 goals in 2 consecutive seasons at OT. Wonder if that’s been done before in the PL era?

Horrible team and manager should be relegated

I didn't hear anybody saying United shouldn't be in the league when they played a similar style under Mourinho.

Teams like this pi$$ me off because one week they will win or draw away at a top 6 side then lose at home to bottom of the league the next with zero effort.

Thinking they’ve reached the pinnacle of their careers with a draw at OT after being 2-0 up with 3 minutes to play, fans cheering every time they win a throw in like they’ve won the World Cup

Why would a mid table team be our cup final? Don't be silly.

We're not taking any Everton, Toor. United the biggest team in the UK are your cup final, whether we're top or last.
