Great win from the boys today who dug in and got the points, thought Bub timed his substitutions to perfection today.
No time personally for Dyche or his team, he has no class. When his team won at arsenal when xhaka rightfully sent off his Wenger contact lenses fails to see westwood start it.
The likes of Newcastle and Burnley’s way of playing does the best league in the world a disservice it is an entertainment industry after all. Appreciate why you like them berm but just different opinion.
Once again baffled by some negative comments re individuals today. Apparently It was a ‘must win’ game surely when you must do something that objective (win/ points presumably) is all/ the only thing that matters.
Well the boys delivered against a horrible opposition and for me are sitting in a brilliant position, playing in the main fantastic football with the majority of our Championship winning team.
Therefore, if you insist upon quantitive results you must be prepared to forgo the qualitative negative assessments that so often follow?
I loved every second of today’s performance including our brilliant young goalkeeper scrapping and fighting whilst gaining invaluable experience which will in time i’m sure see him as France’s national keeper.
Well done Struick and baby shacks who continue to show we have something really good going here, with more to come when bub thinks we need it.

I thought poveda done a good job today, prior to Raph being hooked burnley were bossing and it was all down our RHS, Ian provided a lot more options for. coming out of defence for us and hence seemed to take the wind from they're sails.

I like Poveda a lot Chris has the ability to one of our best at beating someone one on one .

Loved not the word as it was heart in mouth for the majority but a great battling win.

can appraicte your view but you are wrong on one point
this is not an entertainment business it is a result business. how pretty defeats count for nothing our ugly win was worth three points
like or loave it the results is all that matters and duyce is amazing for getting amazing results from that set of players. let's be honest how burnley have done what they have done season after season has to be admired even if it is not enjoyed.

We will have to agree to disagree on that point Berm.
Obviously there is a direct correlation between results and Entertainment. Revies Team probably more responsible for growing Leeds fan base than any other Leeds team because there was results but fantastic football.
The Busby babes and all that followed was due to the players they had the flair and yes, of course the entertainment. Then came the fans, Real Madrid, Barcelona City Liverpool there’s a recurring theme.
Possibly with the exception of Arsenals invincibles in a chicken egg scenario good football breeds results, in the main Burnley, Newcastle and any Allarrdyce side can and does get results but seldom do they grow, a fan base above what they generally have but they have different championships like staying up on the last day of the season.
However, where I do concede Berm, is the money now in the premiership means results are the ONLY thing when push comes to shove.
Thankfully we have a crazy man/ genius who wants to stay in the division differently. But that doesn’t mean we will, like you, we are both passionate about our team we ain’t going nowhere, but i’m so grateful we play Bubs way and not Dyche’s way.
So for me berm, i never ever admired our play under the snake but my love for the badge covered all. Only now I am delighted, excited to watch us play, i get anxious but I do believe in a team and manager who changed everything after 16 years of trying.
So it may be a touch arrogant for newbies but i honestly believe we can have both this year.
Good point about KP in the back line today though.

results are the bottom line,
mournino teams tend to play boring football, George graham very dull while belisa football is amazing but end of the day the first two have won stuff belisa hasn't
fans remember winning stuff, the history books remember the winners, you get no trophies for pretty football
dyce took a club with no players, no money and no fan base and has made them a main stay in the prem. that is unbelievable. dyce didn't have to spend 100 mill to keep his team up
hope we stay up pretty but if we go down and burley stay up there is only one winner and it is not pretty football.

Like I say may agree to disagree.

Bielsa has won the league 3 times in Argentina, Olympic gold with Argentina and the Championship with Leeds. These are all trophies. H3 has also won many individual honours and come runner up with teams that are not the biggest in their respective divisions. He is a wonderful coach.
