Chelsea v Burnley (Easter Monday)

[Altobelli]

There's a virtually full page 'Big Match Preview' in the Mail today. It says Chelsea v Burnley at the top of the page, it says Burnley over the likely line ups, and that's it, the only two mentions we get on the page. In the actual preview it's 100% Chelsea, if you just read that, you wouldn't have a clue who they were playing.

I'm not surprised, or even annoyed, it's not the first time by any means you'd think we didn't exist. As far as the nationals are concerned, we're just there to make the numbers up, just the way it is.

It still annoys me Sinkov, not just my own team getting next to nothing in comments but other underdog teams of the PL getting the same treatment.

If we leave their extra man free in the middle of the park it will be one sided, I’ve got my fingers crossed but at home we just couldn’t deal with it.

I've never quite understood what the general media malaise is with Burnley, and it's nothing new by the way. When Blacklaw, Angus, Elder, Adamson, Cummings, Miller, Connelly, McIlroy, Pointer, Robson and Harris et al ruled supreme, we were always second fiddle to Tottenham, Wolves, Liverpool and the second edition of the "Busby Babes". Odd!
