What Our Opponents' Fans Are Saying About Us 20/21

[sausage]

Blimey! The days of Trsitán must seem a long time ago now!

Or Rivaldo!

 

[Hotspur88]

I expect most of the fans are over the moon they are playing how they are in the Prem. I expect most of them remember how shit it was to be playing in league 2 just12 years ago.

I see your point and agree it's better than watching league two football. I understand fans adjust their expectations dependent on the club but I know a few Burnley fans and they've all had enough. They are sick of the lack of investment in the team and hate the style of play.

 

[E17yid]

Exactly. I'm a Deportivo La Coruña fan, a team currently buried in the third division of Spain (or Segunda B, as they call it), and I would prefer it a million times to have us at the top division parking the bus every weekend.

So if we played Deportivo who would you support?

 

[spurs mental]

I know we have another game before it but thought it best to steer this back on topic seeing as it was my fault I copied a gif of the beautiful French woman.

BHA Match Prediction Thread

[Albion] - ** Tottenham Hotspur v BHA ** - Premier League Score Predictor - Now in its 10th SEASON !!

Struggling BHA (16th) travel to London, for Sunday nights fixture against Spurs (5th). The Seagulls with only a paltry 4 wins in 23 matches have clearly forgotten how to win matches & no doubt few people will envisage anything other than a Spurs win for this game. Looking at our past record...

[Albion] Hopes & expectations for the Spurs game

I would imagine we all hope to get something, but none of us expect it. I personally hope to see more of the same as against Man Utd/Chelsea. Fearless attacking football. If we lose, we lose - I hope Potter will stick with his guns, as it is only a matter of time before he turns over one of...

I've written this one off.

Spurs have already dropped points at home to Newcastle and West Ham, they weren't wholly convincing at Burnley. No reason why we can't go and get something there.

I just hope we don't get stuffed

I expect absolutely nothing except a defeat

Not really. I'm one of those who have troubles letting go of the past.

So if we played Deportivo who would you support?

It depends. If they played on the CL final and Mou was still Spurs manager, I would have to support Depor. Don't get me wrong, I currently have the biggest man crush on Mou, but at the same time I still feel bitter about the way his Porto team eliminated Depor during the 2004 CL semis, when Depor was probably at the peak of its game, by forcing us to a very frustrating 0-1 defeat over 180 minutes of play, with a goal scored via a soft penalty (or so I felt at the time), after Deport had eliminated convincingly Juve and Milan in the previous rounds, the finalists of the previous year. After that things never were the same for Depor, and the slow descending into apathetic football started.

Burnley have been waiting one more year than us for another league title.

Calm down.

Oh good.

 

[Timberwolf]

Oh good.

It was only a matter of time.

The commercial potential of Burnley and the catchment area of Padiham, Worthstone and Mereclough is enormous.

 

[punkisback]

From a personal point of view, Dyche's philosphy and therefore the optics of the Burnley team is an affront to me. But I will just leave it there

Agree, his philosophy is xenophobic in player recruitment! Not allowed to wear tracksuits or gloves, no music in the changing rooms etc. Even Robbo said that it was very old school English. He is doing a good job with his resources, but doubt he could coach a team with more talented players to play good football.

 

[spids]

I fear for Burnley if they’re taken over. They haven’t invested in the team for some time, could easily get relegated this year. They are also ripe for dodgy businessmen to asset strip them and their parachute payments through a tangled web of agents and other fees. Why would anyone buy them for £200M?

They have a poll at the top of the page and 20% voted 3-0 Spurs and 20% 3-1. The rest are all pretty evenly spread out, but a lot are predicting a battering. I go onto other teams forums to post comments here quite regularly and I've never seen a group of fans expecting to be beaten so badly. Lots of teams often predict a defeat, but this lot are expecting a proper hiding.



Kane and Son on fire atm. We're playing like headless chickens. It's not going to be pretty.




I don’t recall predicting a hiding for our boys in any game but with no Dunk, poor form, Spurs in good vain I think a 4-0 drubbing - which hopefully turns out to be a 1-0 win for us.



I may get a few cross words for this, but I've gone "other", predicting 7-1 spuds.
This will be one to forget.



4-1 Danny Welbeck consolation goal on 92minutes after the crowd has left for the train.



5-1 Spurs



Worst nightmare for us.
If we don’t pass well, they will hit us on the break, again, again and again......



An absolute hiding



4 0 sorry



They're gonna take our trousers down good and proper

I actually think this is any easy perception to have, but not necessarily true. Burnley don’t lump it upfield every match the way they did v us, which really is all Stoke ever did. Burnley only really do this against the sides who’s midfields they desperately want to avoid. Most of Burnley’s play over the years has been about getting the ball on the flanks and hitting early crosses into their big strikers. I find Burnley far more attacking intended most of the time that Stoke ever are.

Stoke were also far dirtier under Pulis, which was reflected in the amount of times skilful players ended up with long injuries after matches v Stoke (Whelan on Bale and Shawcross on Ramsay stick out). Burnley are rough, but apart from Barnes I don’t actually think they’re dirty

I mean the new stoke by the physicality. Not so much the long ball game.

Not exactly an opposing fan but you get the drift:

Sean Dyche comes out and defends heavily criticised Tottenham player

Burnley boss Sean Dyche has defended Tottenham Hotspur’s Erik Lamela in Lancashire Live, after he was criticised for a poor tackle on Monday.

www.hitc.com

However, Dyche felt that the Tottenham man didn’t do much wrong – and he certainly was not one screaming for a foul.
“It could have been punished but I would hope not,” Dyche said.


“It (the game) has diluted down to a new level of weakness to be honest so I don’t want to start taking moments that are not bad moments, a little bit loose maybe but not terrible moments.

“That used to be the norm, I am not saying I want it but my point is that I don’t think you can start over thinking all of these things.”

Sean Dyche for next spurs manager anyone?












After we've won the quadruple under Mourinho of course

 

[Mornstar]

Oh good.

Hard to turn down that sort of Kashash these days

It’ll also tell you here arguably most provocative song was released in March 2000 when she was indeed 15, but how we got here from Burnley is beyond me

I’m genuinely surprised to hear someone call Lolita controversial. It explicitly calls on the Nabokov novel (from whence the term Lolita comes). It’s like someone saying “arguably Britney Spears’ most provocative song ...One More Time” because she was 16 when it was released and pounding around in a sexy school uniform (in a country where uniforms aren’t typically worn).

Alizée is well-adjusted (for a Corsican). Britney has not come off so well!

Anyway it doesn’t really matter because they’re both massive yids coys

I like that there is a genuine fear about playing Spurs. Hopefully this applies to the players too.

I have to say, I understand Dyche has been working on an extremely tight budget for quite some time but, their style of play is terrible and as a fan I would be embarrassed to watch them, never mind claim they were 'superb'. I would love to know how many times they pumped the ball up to their strikers last night, I remember saying to my brother every time they did it that their style was a joke, and I said that a lot!

We got drawn into that far too often by doing the same and I was becoming frustrated, but to watch that every week must be a tough gig. I don't say this too often but I genuinely hope they go down, there is no place in the Premier League for that style of football.

Sean Dyche has to work with the players that the club can afford. It is Dyche's job to make sure his team is difficult to beat and by so doing try to keep them in the PL. It was very different in the 1950's and early 1960's when Burnley were a very good 1st Division side and were able to recruit some excellent players. That era is long gone and now it's money that counts.

Burnley is a smallish town with a population of less that 90,000 and Burnley FC just do not have oodles of cash to spend on players. If Dyche attempted to have his team play expansive, attacking football they would soon be in the Championship.

The only thing that Dyche can do is to make his team difficult to beat and hope his strikers are able to break away and score, and he does this superbly. Good luck to Dyche, I say.

Burnley have so often punched above their weight. Duchess has to be one of the managers of the season, every season, for what he achieves with so little and no spending. I hate us playing them because they are so hard to beat but always have a genuine goal threat, not just from set pieces.

Your autocorrect is really trying to get you into trouble. Imagine calling Dyche, 'Duchess' to his face!
