Re: Max Gradel

Watford look to be in a real slump at the moment, I can't see Max Gradel being the man to turn it round. Apart from Sunderland's comedy back four, they're the worst team at the Turf this season.

I agree the pricing is excellent but for those who have to travel, it's still just a Burnley XI v Sunderland reserves on a Tuesday night.

I'll jump on the bandwagon if we make it to the 6th round.

Re: The lure of Turf Moor.

There is something about Burnley that keeps you coming back, it's only a 100 mile round trip for us so not too bad compared to some. Obviously the home of football is the main reason but the town itself is so different to its reputation. I grew up in Accy but feel no nostalgia for the place at all, ...

Re: Wimps need not apply

We're a lot more 'streetwise' than we've ever been. The best example this season was when Lowton or Flanagan sneaked back into Palace's half of the pitch to tie his laces after we'd scored to delay the restart.

Re: Man U doing a "Burnley"

United have more than one way to play, like us. It's not 2008, possession is just for stattos now.

Honestly, the way some managers and fans go on you'd think 'controlling' and 'dominating' the play is hugely more important than winning matches.

Re: New Bob Lord stand

There's plenty of clubs in the Championship and League One with empty new stands after one or two seasons in the Prem.

The main reason I'm against it though - apart from there being no need - is that it'd block the classic view of the terraced streets and the moors from the Longside.

You really should come and watch us ablue. Defour has more skill than Blake, Ings or Elliot. Gray has more pace and power than we've seen before. And Keane is the most complete centre half we've had in the last 30 years.

If you had a seat at the Turf, they'd get you off it.

The first half at Brentford was like that first half against Forest a couple of years ago, but with better goals. That's enough to win it for me.

Huddersfield was the classic ruthless, efficient away performance from a side on its way up, I bet Dyche enjoyed that one.
