Got a bad feeling about today. Hope I'm wrong.

Positive thoughts from me, we could do with 3 points to keep pace.

Got a feeling we are getting back to winning ways today!

Oh Danny Danny 1-0

Get in son!

Casper's in a positive mood!

Ingsssyyyyy!!!!

Bloody Pato typical 1-1

Ah well.

How did that happen??

Went for a pee and a new beer and doom sets in!


Come on you Claret knobs!

In a positive way of course!

2-1 ings top class

Deserved lead, sounds like a much improved performance.

Nice quick start out of the blocks and a couple of quick goals to take us to 4-1 within 10 mins of the restart should ease the nerves!

God I have got to stop drinking!

I'm on the Leffe typing with one eye shut.

I do like Leffe!

I wish my bath taps dribbled it!


Drinking Sulwath beers.

Think I'll have a coffee after this one.

Going to have a home made pizzabreak at full time and then recommence with the liquid this evening!

First time I have a) had a chance, or b) felt like afew.

Come on Burnley you useless @#$%&!

Yeah, I'm taking it easy considering I had two-months off the drink.

Derby losing and Chaplow pulls one back for Millwall against Leicester. QPR only drawing.

Interesting.

Got a couple of bits and bobs on this month so will have a steady one but gonna go dry in February!

Well its a short month innit ;D

Trips 3-1

Gtfi Tripps old son!

Marvellous! Could be a good say this if the football Gods are smiling on us.

Oh f*** off QPR.

Derby lose, hold on Clarets!

Kin Pato again 3-2

Good start to the year 3 points in the bag and back up to 2nd, well done Clarets.

well well done you Clarets

Apparently the performance was far more convincing than the scoreline. Be interesting to see if those who went agree.

Great way to start the new year 3 points against a set of Yawkshire w@#$%&,who we should have beat on their own midden as well ..

I'd agree with that, this was much more a 4-1 game than 3-2.

It was much better from us today.

Ings should have scored about five, Jones hit the bar, Marney should have had another.

There was a bit of a wobble in the last five minutes, but we battered them for the other 85.

Are we 'back'?

We could really be 'back' soon Jabber, our next 3 games are all against teams in the bottom 7.

But have we been away, only three teams have taken more points than us over the last 6 games.

A super game and a super performance... 4 or 5-1 would have been a better reflection... several times we cut through with a 4 on 3 or a 3 on 2 and muffed it with a poor final pass.

Ings looked fresh as a daisy. Vokes badly needs a goal. Jones superb. Trippier magnificent going forward.

Missed third goal cos was downstairs having a barny with a steward. A pimple faced 20-year old doing his first game and asked me to moderate my language. Twice he'd heard me using foul language he said.

So what words have I used I asked downstairs. 'Sh*t' he said... at the referee. And the two ladies with you as well.., they've said it...
How i didn't smack him I don't know. I can understand after this how easy it is to succumb to rage and lash out.

Anyway get me your supervisor I bawled at him. He disappeared and I waited. He and supervisor and FIVE other stewards returned.

Right you basta**S I thought, I'll smack the lot of you. Supervisor came upstairs and took one look at Mrs T and daughter. No one around us had heard the word used at all.

I apologise sir, he said. And removed the pimple-faced one.

Other than that... a great day.

Yorkshire folk eh, bloody troublemakers. Can't take 'em anywhere, upsetting youngsters.

Is that not harassment from G4

That's just the word we used on the way home... four other stewards not five... better be accurate

Bit too much honest ale pre-match? You should have sung "tw@t in a jacket/You're just a tw@t in a jacket" at him.

Seriously- you give these plonkers a high-viz vest, and the tiniest bit of authority and they misuse it. It seems to bring out the latent bully in them- he probably sub-consciously thought you looked like an easy target. Little did he know whom or what he was dealing with.

You've got to ask though- don't they get any briefing or guidance on what is or isn't acceptable? These days "sh*t" is a fairly mild word. Yesterday, about six rows in front of us was a well-refreshed bloke who was getting very excited and launching torrents of swearing at the away end and occasionally getting up to 'gesticulate'. Everybody around seemed to think it was very funny (because it was) and not a steward went anywhere near him.

So I reckon you just met a tw@t in jacket, Dave.

Common sense, unfortunately, can't be taught in dealing with these situations. He'll have been told 'offensive language' isn't acceptable and gone launching in without engaging his brain taking into account all the facts.

absolutely a 4-1 rather than 3-2 game.

ings, trippier and shackell were all outstanding but jones gave an absolute masterclass, especially in the first half.

signing of the season and then some.

To be honest Dave the whole incident is bizarre, if anyone gets upset at the use of the word @#$%& on a football ground they really ought not be going. And why on earth the steward took him seriously, and didn't just tell to sit down and enjoy the game I've no idea.

Incidentally did you notice that Huddersfield had another referee in their pocket. It was almost as bad as the away game, all they had to do was fall down when any Burnley player came within 6 ft of them and they got a free-kick. How do they do it ?

Their first goal could have been avoided easily , we had at least two chances to clear the danger but opted to **** about with it needlessly in front of our own goal. Conceded a corner and got stupidly punished for it.
On the plus side, three wonderful goals set up by some breathtaking passing in my opinion. Also, we missed a hatful of chances . Could have easily finished up with five or more on another day.I thought they would lose this one, so great to watch. well done Clarets.
