Last time me and the youngest lad went to Southampton we had breakfast in the Wetherspoons nearest to the ground, it was a 12 noon kick-off so we went down on a Friday night and got the chat on with several Saints fans.

"We f*cking hate Burnley", "W f*ucking hate Dycheball" etc. etc.

Post-match it was, "f*ck me we never knew you lot could actually play football!"

We won the game 2-1 and Vydra sealed it with an absolute screamer.

I calculated that me and the lad saw Dyche's Burnley about 400 times home and away during his tenure and they were without doubt amongst the best footy experiences of my life.

What VK is currently accomplishing is off the chart, I'll write another piece when I've watched him after another 400 games in charge and see where we are then.
