Fair match assessment from the Mag. Apart from the turd line, obviously. We have been in Europe he seems to have forgotten

Bit of an outdated view of Lancashire men, has he been reading the growler thread?. Flat caps and all that, wonder he didn't mention pigeon fancying, greyhound racing and clogs. Its great to get under their skin and Burnley have done to far better outfits than Newcastle. Lets hope we tske the points tomorrow.

Except for the year we qualified for Europe.

Or the year we finished tenth.

It's an amateur writer who thought he'd got a good novel phrase and wanted to use it even though the metaphor doesn't work and it's childish. But hey, many have done that and it's fairly well written.

Rather an unflushable turd than unwashable blood stained hands

Dear Apologist for a murdering autocracy,

We are comfortable with being an unflushable turd, rather than a plaything in a regional power struggle

Yours

Thought it was a decent article tbh and though his analogy doesn’t quite work , he’s very balanced in his review give or take the odd fact

Reads well. We must expect some name calling. It's what we all do!

That analogy is probably a fair appraisal of what the so-called elite PL clubs think of us.
See it as a compliment, I think that is what he means by it.

I think he knows that. The Newcastle fan is jealous. Under ashley their team has often been a log that would have been lucky to stick around in a urinal, let alone survive a strong flush and a bit of domestos.
