Look if i were their trainer I would hand them all a drop of whiskey before they played ,with music of Elgar's Nimrod (from "Enigma Variations"
Leonard Bernstein) in the background. Then of course my roaring Churchill's speech to accompany that:

My players , "I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat."

''The football events which have happened during the past year have not come to me with any sense of surprise. Indeed, I indicated a fortnight ago as clearly as I could to the Club that the worst possibilities were open, and I made it perfectly clear then that whatever happened on the pitch would make no difference to the resolve of Burnley and the club to fight on, if necessary for years, if necessary alone.

Meanwhile, the Club should prepare itself for hard and heavy tidings. I have only to add that nothing which may happen in this battle can in any way relieve us of our duty to defend the league's cause to which we have vowed ourselves; nor should it destroy our confidence in our power to make our way, as on former occasions in our history, through disaster and through grief to the ultimate defeat of our enemies.

Even though large tracts of our league and many old and famous Clubs have fallen or may fall into the grip of the F A and all the odious apparatus of F A rule, we shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in Burnley, we shall fight in Lancashire, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength with our aerial power, we shall defend our goals, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the benches, we shall fight on the football pitch , we shall fight in the training fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the pubs; we shall never surrender, and if, which I do not for a moment believe, this club or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the Britain, armed and guarded by the British lads, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New Burnley Football Club, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old. Thank you.

I like that Balan, it is a bloody good effort and worth a smile or two!

Balan ---they should put that on the shirts and sell them! How much a letter for printing?
Blimey they would be able to buy a few players with the revenue!

If we are indeed sh-it, at least we have the consolation that at least nine other clubs in the EPL are even sh-ittier than us!

Very true BT. I still find it amazing that we have a manager in his 8th season at the Turf who has worked wonders for the Club in general, both on and off the field, however, there are still plenty of fans who don't understand his methods for getting results.
He really does what a manager of anything should do by utilising the players he has available in the best possible way to maximise results.

We are never going to be an exciting team to watch unless we can recruit a few more players such as McNeil who has the capacity to excite and raise expectations when he is on the ball. Until that day arrives Sean will utilise his players, instil discipline and his methods to get results ---why? -----because it works. This season we have recorded 12 wins with 7 matches to play and our best season, with 14 wins was two seasons ago when we finished 7th.
Enjoy these times because they have been a bonus as far as I am concerned because I never thought that I would see the day that we won promotion to the PL, let alone to be holding our own in the league.
