This is a serious post and I'm not exaggerating so please excuse me.

The last time we went I had two of my sons and my brother, who doesn't go much and has no animosity to Burnley.

We arrived early and sat on a table outside a pub not far from their ground.

The locals, passing by, were like a parade of circus freaks and weirdos who'd bought their clothes from 'Help the Aged'.

There can't be a dentist in the town because none, who grunted insults at us, had a full set of teeth.

I'm planning to go but will spend the night at Hebden Bridge which is 10 miles, but light years, away.

I had a business years ago, where we manufactured and sold our own range of sun bed creams and spray tanning solution. Travelled all over visiting salons from Banff in the north as far south as Chester. Burnley was a real eye opener - like something out of the movie Southern Comfort.
I agree, Hebden Bridge is light years away and has some cracking craft beer places.

Me neither ... they only manage one or two efforts, on target, even for home games.

Their attack has become worse, hence the interest in Whittaker.

We’re relatively solid at the back and won’t go all out to win. I don’t predict many 0-0s but this is one that wouldn’t come as a surprise…

…An early Sunderland goal please <cheers>

No definitely not
We had both full backs sent off in the first half.
Jimmy Adamson was our manager, walked into the dressing room. At half time and said wel that's your excuse is it, and walked out.
The lads got a right strop on, basically saying we'll show him and went on to win.
Adamson walked into the dressing room at full time and said, I knew you could do it, and walked out laughing.
One of my best away days.
