Post by: Footy-Vill on May 06, 2022, 02:03:51 PM: This was great read. Good mentions and useage to see perspective of how Burnley are typically viewed by many and that it's toss between them Leeds or Everton going down.

A weather man I think.

They try to claim Prince Charles.

Post by: ASHTONVILLA on May 06, 2022, 11:25:35 PM: My management accountant is a big Burnley fan. He is currently recovering from a prostate cancer operation, hoping he doesn’t need chemo or radiotherapy.

He worked for me in my last business too. Known him for 30 years. As decent a bloke as you could ever meet. Most folk in Burnley are nice. I really hope they stay up and Leeds go down.

Post by: Neil Hawkes on May 07, 2022, 09:05:27 AM: Burnley's saving grace is they freely admit they chose Claret & Blue as their kit in homage to the Villa team yonks ago, that won everything in sight.

Unlike the kit stealers, when many ill-informed numpties would have you believe where in Claret & Blue before the original and the best.

Post by: brian green on May 08, 2022, 09:51:43 AM: Excellent work DW. I think they could claim David Cameron as a virtual supporter on the grounds that all teams that play in claret and blue are the same to him. The team he was once taken to see as a boy toff.

Right, thanks. Not really followed cricket since Dermot Reeve was playing.
