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.

You're missing my point though BT by saying "in 400 games we will see where we are then". To me it doesn't matter. Division 2 playing good football will do for me. I am ok for seeing crap boring football. I think it was Steve Coterill in charge when I took my lad on to watch Burnley. Fair to say he didn't want to go and watch again. It's just crap.
The whole BUZZ around the place after the first 5 minutes against Huddersfield was enlightening.
Any how in 400 games, VK will not be here. Probably 120 games I would imagine, if that.
"I am ok for seeing crap boring football." What's the problem then U_G?![]()
Marsch talks get bogged down.

More evidence that Americans and football are not a good mix.
"Chelsea owner Todd Boehly might have asked his manager to field 12 players, but when it comes to the business side, he's got it all worked out... right?
In a recent meeting with some football agents, the American was asked how he planned to recoup his £500 million shopping spree in the transfer market. Boehly assured them the club could easily afford to spunk Liberia's budget deficit on new players because they qualify automatically for the Champions League every year, raking in millions in TV money as a result. After an awkward silence, one agent piped up to explain that Chelsea did not automatically get a spot in the Champions League, and were unlikely to make it next season considering they are currently 10th in the league. "That's nonsense! We're in it every year. Always have been." the American chuckled, before excusing himself from the meeting.
After consulting his team, he returned a few minutes later and admitted he'd got it wrong. Whoops."
