The Premier League Thread

2-0. This may well be the final nail in Sparky's coffin ahead of tomorrow.

OK, meaningless stats but there is nothing of interest happening at the moment. Based on expected goals stat Saints should be 13th...probably means we are missing sitters.

I can see 20 teams paying too much (and 3 paying way too much!) and we’re one of them

Still, not a bad job if you can get it

 

this compares to the average wage of 42,000 quid in the Serbian top division (which I think is about fair for playing a game for a living)

 

Not bad, considering Barcelona’s average is £10.45m!

 

Burnley v Newcastle delayed after referees' assessor Eddie Wolstenholme collapsed in the tunnel.

 

Said on the radio he was conscious when they left for the hospital which is good news.

 

Eddie Wolstenholme is probably most famous for this.

 

BBC website asking for song titles to reflect your team. Down down down Status Quo leaps to mind.

Deserves it's own thread really...

 

Things can only get better

 

Go for it!

 

You are getting the hang of it!

 

Que Sera Sera.

 

We’re going to Wembley!!!

That’s it! #positive

 

A bit like us, Burnley's next five games include Liverpool, Spurs and Arsenal.

Aside from that weird thrashing they handed out to Bmouth, Burnley have been very, very poor this season. (And quite a few people did see it coming.)

 

Yes we are, on 5th December!

If we are there again this season in a fixture not involving Tottenham Hotspur FC I’ll be amazed!

 

Much as I loathe the song: Let It Go from Frozen.
You will all be much happier if you do.

 

Thanks. That is in my head now
