The way they passed us off the park I thought it was Real Madrid. First game I’ve not either attended or watched on a stream in years Was busy decorating and laying flooring Seen the highlights and it looks like they just passed straight through us. Were they brilliant or were we rubbish or both?? Burnley were brilliant.

I’m just hoping Burnley aren’t mathematically promoted or champions by the time they play our fellow strugglers otherwise they might be “on the beach”. Can’t see that happening. Think Kompany will have them going for 100+ points and whatever the record is. He won’t want any drop-off before they climb back up into the PL and all the challenges that come with that.

anyway back to the football.
I dont believe for a second Warnock saw that as a free hit.
goal 1 : Weak goalkeeping has to come and attack the ball
goal 2 : kasuama weak as fook has to do better.
goal 3 : yet another attacker gets the run on the defender...block his run ffs,
I reckon they got a roasting at half time and another of the final whistle. The bare minimum is to at least make it difficult.
People keep saying we have to do this...or this...we just aren't doing it. Nevermind thinking so far ahead, lets just try and win the next 50-50, then the next one..the results will come with work.

Sunderland got 105 points in 1999. Has anyone bettered that?

Were they brilliant or were we rubbish or both?? Burnley were brilliant. They looked streets ahead of us yesterday and would have beaten virtually every other team in the Championship comfortably too. It just happened to be us playing them.

Burnley look in a hurry to wrap up the title asap, with Blackpool away next week & Wigan at home the following week we can only hope they continue to wallop the weakest opponents in the league, that said when they play Rotherham (A, Apr 18) & Cardiff (H, May 7).......they could be on the beach or FAC Semis (Apr 22).

I wanted to see a contest, but instead I was watching a mauling. What I saw wasn't good enough and I hope Mr Warnock saw it that way. Not many year's ago and we were drawing with Man city and Chelsea away, with every player giving their all. How far we have sunk.

Burnley were good, hard to say how good given the time, space and freedom from challenges. Saw us lose by a hatfull to a very good Fulham team but we were in the game and we didnt , they were just very good. Left that Game knowing we had work to do but at least the desire to compete was there.

Goals look embarrassing, as do the stats, didn’t see any of it but just got to hope players we rested will make the difference. I suspect some who played yesterday might not start again. Where’s knockhaert?

Burnley were excellent but equally we were utterly toothless.

Burnley were excellent but equally we were utterly toothless. I have to totally agree ! I was - genuinely - at the Maine Road game and feared a repeat. When we went 3-0 down after 30 minutes I was trying to work out the possible score if we kept playing that way for another 60+ minutes ! At least at Maine Road we (David Cork) had some chances. I live in Burnley, have seen lots of Town vs Burnley matches - defeats, draws, victories - but have never gone into a match where the whole club seemed to have accepted defeat before a ball was kicked. What a mess. It might have happened under Hoyle in the Premier league - " we are so lucky to be allowed to play you, big clubs" but in the Championship ? Pragmatic - possibly ? Depressing ? Certainly.

It was only Friday when I was saying we’d not had a real thumping even though we’ve been crap all season I too was at Maine rd. I’ve got witnesses on here to prove it too 😂😂

It’s been discussed on here before but for the first 20 mins at Maine Road, we were the better team. After that, literally every time they attacked, they scored. The tv had the number 10 in letters in brackets afterwards and I had calls from Leeds Utd supporting mates when I got home just checking the scoreline was correct. They weren’t gloating either, they were equally stunned.

I use to live in East Manchester and the City fans never let me forget that day and i must admit i thought about it yesterday. To call it men against boys is unfair it was more like the battle of the Little Big Horn, just like that day we were absolutely slaughtered and got away with it at 4-0 very embarrassing to say the least.

Trouble is if everyone who claimed to be there were there then there’d be 10000 badges 😂😂😂 Even our ex chairman claimed he was there until he realised he was actually playing squash. Reckon midge and Mel were both with me???

Ah yes, a man who famously didn't have the poke to run Southport properly was going to magic up millions of pounds out of his many financially robust companies. Jesus Christ Actually yes. Thats what he would have done. Not magic money up...he didnt have the patented DATM magic money tree to do that.. just sell his businesses which at the time were extremely valuable.It didnt pan out like that. How unfair life is for us fans. And didnt he put a lot of money into Southport for that level of football? I seem to remember £2m being mentioned. Presumably you have evidence backing this claim up?

I thought we did. Did you not get branded on the arm on the way out? 😂 Did your dad ever miss a game?? Never went anywhere without seeing him He missed very, very few mate. As did Joe. All the way up in the late 60’s, all the way down through the 70’s, always in the same position at home games at Leeds Rd with the same people, main stand halfway up opposite where the players came out. Home & away, dragged me and our kid all over the place 80’s & 90’s: the famous victory at ER when Cowling scored, the 10-1, the 4-4 at Bury, regular trips to Valley Parade where something always seemed to happen (I’m actually starting to miss us playing them 😂), Wembley in the 90’s and again in 2012, too many games in between to mention. And the amount of folk he knew when we went to away games which was supported by how many attended his funeral! If I get 1/4 that many I’d be chuffed. Great times for the most part, plenty of gallows humour. I only found out recently that a bunch of them started watching late 1950’s, I’m guessing your Dad would have been part of that crowd, nothing to do with parents taking them down to Leeds Rd, just a few mates getting together on a Saturday afternoon after a weeks graft. After that, you know what it’s like, it’s in the blood. You can’t change it. I just wish like so many others I could go back in time with my boy to Leeds Rd just once to experience a big match atmosphere, a derby v Sadford or leeds or that Newcastle game when so many away fans turned up, going in the Cowshed, etc, so many great memories. The closest he’s experienced at the JSS is likely a play off semi, the Wagner years, maybe the Barnsley game where both sides played out for a draw. All still great mind.

It was an utterly surreal day and as gloomy as the weather. I was relieved to reach half time yesterday 3 down rather than 4 as it was in Nov 87 and thankfully Burnley eased off a bit after half time yesterday to spare us further misery.

Been mentioned a lot as that 87-88 season, but as the season went on i perversely started to enjoy it in a sick and twisted kind of way, it was like one of those films thats so bad its good, it was certainly a memorable season if not for all the wrong reasons.

I think Warnock was testing the formation rather than testing Burnley. He knows he'll have to setup one way for teams we can win and another way for teams where we can take a point.
