Ewetube Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I'll henceforth remember the 4th of July as the day B4 put a Gypsy curse on Burnley. Hell, we ought to call it the B4th of July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grantona Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I wonder......does B4 hate Burnley more than he hates Forest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRamFan Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I think B4 has no respect, care or interest of anything or body that isn't Derby County, he probably bleeds black and white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walsall_Ram Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Burnley were waiting for the 'hat trick of signings' pun.. They've announced Sordell and Matty Taylor this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RLACML Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Marvin Sordell in the premier league? Oh dear. Reminds me of when Watford signed Will Hoskins, horror signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-JW- Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 How many Burnley players would we want in our team? Probably Ings and Trippier and that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North_Stand_Ram Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 How many Burnley players would we want in our team? Probably Ings and Trippier and that's it. Starting Shackell, Ings and Trippier. Our midfield is far better than there's regardless of Thorne coming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombo Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I think it was the QPR fans who were on this forum making the point that while everyone wants to be the honest, shrewd spending club, the Premier League is a dark world. And to survive, you have to spend. Not spend as much as they have done. But it is a fact that the best players come at a price and Burnley have a good chance of staying up but they need to make some quality signings. Players like Troy Deeney are a BIG, BIG risk. It could pay off, but that money would be best directed on someone more proven. I mean, dare I say it, but Bryson...? Really? Fantastic player to have if you've got him, like we do, but spending good money on him...? I wouldn't have bothered if I was Dyche. I mean, Robert Earnshaw was a cracking Championship striker so in theory he could transfer that form to the Premier League when we signed him... right...? As it turned out, our record signing was a waste of time, a waste of money and to be honest a waste of bloody space. Meanwhile, fellow promoted club Sunderland Kieran Richardson from Manchester United and stayed up. They splashed out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddie Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I'm not sure the analogy with Earnshaw is entirely appropriate. Who knows what went on there? Using an out-and-out striker for 5 minutes every other game just defied logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using an out-and-out striker for 5 minutes every other game just defied logic. Manager asked for Kenwyn Jones and got given Earnshaw... We all know how stubborn he is, he was never going to play someone who wasn't his signing haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you talking about the Burnley team that wiped the floor 3-0 with the Rams at PP in August and then comfortably sent them packing 2-0 at Turf Moor in March? # It's no coincidence the Rams' two biggest defeats last season were against the best two teams - Leicester and Burnley. Derby may have had the No 1 championship attack last season but still failed to score even one goal against the division's No 1 defence led by the super Shackell. Defences and clean sheets win promotion - not the occasional 5-0 drubbing of basket cases like Forest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember his name, err, you know the bloke, played in all black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I still reckon the best way to approach the Premier League is to have the best team, playing the best football in the Championship, and go up with a side that can survive as is, then adding as you go, as you would had you not gone up, just with some extra cash. This way you can focus your efforts and keep building, rather than suddenly throwing the money about the moment you get there.There have been cases of this paying off in the past, and to be honest if Thorne were to sign and we somehow got Thorne, I'd actually say we would have a midfield that would be not only capable of Premier League football, but one that would thrive in the environment playing the way we did last season.

CumbrianRam Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Still don't get the whole "we would have gone up with Shackell in the team", our style means games become more open and Shackell isn't a Goliath! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CumbrianRam Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Must say Burnley's signing are the type I'd expect a mid-table Championship side to make, but Crystal Palace were probably the worst team get promoted in the past five years yet they finished mid-table in the Prem, the Prem isn't a daunting as it was from 2005-2009!

McRamFan Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Shackell and trip over a tree seriously overrated. They will be the most booked players in the Prem, both will be sent off at least once before the half way point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimbeard Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Oh god. B4 that's dark. Are you saying you wish you knew a gypsy or that you wish you knew the gypsy language cos both are pretty offensive! Offensive how so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, we are talking about that burnley that beat cloughs side 3-0 And I would hardly say comfortably sent us packing, considering it should have been 1-1 with 11 players not 1-0 to ten men after Martin slipped and the goal disallowed. So I wouldn't gloat about failing to score a goal against you when you had the ref playing for you either. And defences and clean sheets don't win you games, goals do, you could have the tightest defence in the world but if you never score you ain't gonna win. I will also enlighten you that since mac came we earned more points than you suggesting if we had him at the start of the season we would've finished second. And I would also probably say we enjoyed watching our fiotball more than you watching yours Don't get me wrong I have no problem with burnley winning promotion as they deserved it, 3 clubs on this league deserved it, you Leicester and us. However I do have a problem with fans who come and try and justify why we didn't deserve to finish in the top two or promotion, when we would have done with the amount of points we got for the last 7 seasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
