Well done Burnley and your next mission is...

Well said Test, they don't like being reminded about the things we've achieved and they never will.

Its all well and good applying the logic of "we don't care about 35 years, we're getting promoted".

But come back with "we don't care about you getting promoted, we've won 2 major domestic trophies in recent years", and suddenly its put your fingers in your ears time and repeat sour grapes until the Rovers fans stop talking.

To win the Premier League and a major cup, oh and don't forget to build a decent ground and appear in Europe. Good luck in your mission.

Cheers Test..

Predictable Dingle posts and let's face it, they have had not much to crow about for thirty odd years so let them have a brief moment of joy, I can take it because I have had this period of dominance to remember.
However it has to be said that beating Burnley pales into insignificance when compared to our trophy wins and defeats of the top clubs of this nation home and away.
We all know that the Dingles will never match our achievements and their moment of superiority is just that, a moment.
When their is etched on the Premier League Trophy I will eat my liver.

Yes instead of going back 35 years you can now just go back 19 years... how about talking about the present for a change? You are sounding like the liverpool, leeds and forest fans although they have slightly more than a one off lucky win in a decade or 2. You have West Ham and a rich supporter for your acheivmenT.
if you are wanting to live in your past glory.. snigger glory haha go back 4 years or so and relive your last victory over your little club neighbours.

Your Premier League title will be the last to be won by a lesser club that's for sure. You were the first club to buy the title so blatantly, and in doing so you started something that can never be reversed and has without doubt changed the face of English football forever.

Now all we can hope for (and I do mean we as in Burnley and Rovers) is lower end Premier League survival, with maybe the odd flirt with mid-table as per Swansea last year.

On the whole though, the top 7 in English football will not change... well not unless another cash rich owner decides to pay silly amounts of money for every single player in their squad.

So well done for your successes of the past, I hope they keep you warm at night. It's such a shame that ironically they set the wheels in motion to see that you'll never have the same kind of success ever again.

This is not a dig at you personally in any way whatsoever.
But;

Anyone that truly believes that 'little' BRFC changed the entire face of football in England back in '95' is truly tunnel visioned (along the M65 that is).
You honestly believe that BRFC 'influenced' the creation of Sky's Premier League creation???
You honestly believe that BRFC influenced many of the worlds richest people to 'get involved???
You honestly believe that the strategy of producing an elite tier of English football clubs was fashioned courtesy of one local well too do businessman from E Lancs???

If the answer is yes to all of the above then your view of the 'world' must be very small indeed.

Burnley are where they are now as they have been blessed with luck ie injuries.
They arent a bad side, and they have found for this one season a game plan that gets them a few points.
If they hadnt been so lucky with injuries, they would be sat where we are.

Let them all get very excited, as I can feel an Owen Coyle coming all day long.
