Match Day Thread Burnley FC v Sunderland AFC - Saturday 23rd August 2025 - KO 15:00

Don’t think anyone here is, but I like this comment

 

Just hearing those names gives me a shudder

 

I’m still ashamed that Parkinson was anywhere near the football club. Grim

 

It's Grayson for me. I have a visceral reaction to that particular potato.

 

I see he’s started well at Hartlepool…in the National League

As if that’s some badge of honour

 

I have seen 2 videos (didnt watch) from Burnley supporters saying the same thing, Wow, what a performance. Well they were better than us but, Wow?????? they musnt have seen any decent football for a while if that was a wow performance

 

They were decent, nothing special but solid. Really impressed with Cullen in the middle of the park, he was very good as highlighted on MOTD.

 

Didnt watch MOTD, I thought I would be more interested in PL football, but have tried to watch 2 live games and I have no interest at all unless we are involved

 

I’ve watched 2 live games today and enjoyed them both. Fully invested now we’re in the division. Desperate for us to stay up and consolidate back in the PL

 

Cullen was good on Saturday like, it's about whether he can maintain it over the season

Burnley weren't that impressive on Saturday, they were solid though - be interesting how they get on against a United team that really needs to win

 

They’ve went and won a vital home game. Just like we did last week. Just as Everton did today and Brentford did yesterday. Those are the big ones mate - we’ll see that again next weekend. Huge game

 

Same here.

It's just overkill, too slickly presented and analysed.

Too many matches and too many people jabbering about the games until they squeeze the last few drops out of them.

 

Yeah it is. Looking forward to it me. Another sell out and hopefully another 3 points!

 

A win would represent a very good start. Wouldn’t be too disappointed with a point but I’d like all 3 before a tough set of games in September

 

Aye same.

 

He was limited let's say. But Parkinson was far worse, in an easier league, and seriously arrogant with it, ( not surprising he is already struggling in the Championship, even with a whopping budget) . I think Grayson will do well at Pools and really hope he does. I'll try and get down and watch a game or two if I can.

 

We certainly do, but the manager is a one plan man, it has its benefits, but far too much is made of his tactical ability imo.

 

You must have been just along from me!

Hope is that the new coaches help with a plan B and hopefully a plan C.

We have the players.
