Boing Boing Back To The Turf


By Gavin
January 26 2009

Well what can we say after Saturday? Yet another superb performance from the Clarets away from home to a Premiership side. After the heroics against Spurs and the end of one cup, I for one thought the lads would be so down that this would be a none event almost.

How wrong I was there were no signs of Burnley rolling over and in fact we took the game to the Baggies,wave after wave of attack on the West Brom goal finally saw our Spurs hero Robbie Blake bundled over in the box, and for once Burnley got a soft penalty decision. Alexander took it and we all know what happens then, back of the net, 1-0 to Burnley.

The lead did not last long though, and 6 minutes later Robert Koren levelled with a super shot from 20 yards. I lost count of how many times we both hit the woodwork, this was going to be an exciting game and it didn't disappoint. With half time beckoning Kim was brought down by Carlisle and as so often happens he got up to take his own free kick which deflected off the wall to wrong foot Jensen.

Half time an undeserved 2-1 lead for the Baggies.

I don't know what Owen Coyle says to these lads who have played more games and extra time then any other club in Britain, all I know is it works.
Albion came at us strong in the opening minutes and Jay Simpson proved a real haw'thorn'e in our side at times, but he was really the only threat along with Bednar but Burnley's defence looked pretty solid.   One question do Burnley ever give up? Martin Paterson with a minute left turned in an Elliot cross, superb, another gutsy fight back and we take the Baggies back to Turf Moor for a replay.

The incentive now for Burnley is either Cardiff (no thanks) or Arsenal (yes please) await us in an away game, if, we can over turn WBA at home.
One good note today neither team picked up any cards.

I think we will turn them over with there injury problems that they have now. But i/we have learnt its better to be negative and enjoy the god times if and when they happen..(Sm152)

We saw with the cup last year that anything can happen. Cardiff got to the final if they knock Arsenal out and Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool are put out the quarter final draw could be something like this. We'd have a serious chance of winning it then so the sooner the bigger clubs are out the better.

Burnley if we beat WBA and Cardiff/Arsenal
Derby/Nottingham Forest
Everton/Doncaster/Aston Villa
Sheffield United/Hull
Sunderland/Blackburn/Coventry
Swansea/Fulham
Watford
West Ham/Middlesbrough

Surely you'd give up the potential gate money of a game against Arsenal for a quarter final draw like that.
