The Mighty Clarets.

Post by AshtonBlack » Sun May 03, 2009 4:46 pm

After a four nil drubbing of Bristol City in their final match of the season, Owen Coyle's Mighty Burnley have finished 5th in the Championship. Meaning just 3 games to play in the fecking Premiership with the likes of Birmingham and Wolves. ;) . So is anyone as excited as me?

I like it when the man scored a goal.

Ah. You mean they reached the play-offs. :hum:

I'm not sure what the average Premiership tenure of a newly promoted team is these days, but I think it's not very long. Good look to the Turf Moor mob, and extra helpings of same if they reach the Promised Land - they'll need it.

They should have beaten Spurs in the League Cup semi-final BTW, but that's another story. :levi:

It was bad when the goalie didn't save that goal and the football went in the back of the net. I was sick as a parrot.

Aye it's been a tough old season. That match was our 58th this season, with a run in both cups and the smallest squad in the championship, the boys are looking tired!.

Anyway to translate:

My home town team, which is very small 55k ish population has the chance to be promoted into the biggest soccer league in the world, with the likes of Manchester Utd, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal. Now, it's only a small chance and even if we did the gap between The Championship and Premier League is huge so we wouldn't have much chance of staying long. But, it's very lucrative and perhaps we could get a proper sponsor instead of a pie maker.
