Anybody still optimistic about this season?

[bfcjon]

Yeah I think you are right CIB - lets all go on a mass suicide mission. Its terrible times being a Burnley fan.

I cant think of anything worse than being a Clarets fan right now - I would offer to hold your case but I have a noose in one hand and a cut throat razor in the other.

He is right,...though!!

Right now we are SH!TE,...And our Board , who everyone thinks is great,..Have let us down again!!

We are Crying out for Investment ,...And any realist can see this,...Just think OUR Board have left it to late..

He's not. It's short term knee jerk shoite.

We are a club that despite last year are at best destined to yo yo. These are the best years in forever just accept that we are not God given to be in the top two leagues. Unless you are bank rolled like a top 6 and have 50,000 plus every week then this is as good as it gets. Look at Newcastle and despite their city status and attendances continually finish below us. Look at the clubs in the Championship and their pulling power yet look where we are.

We may go down, we probably wont, but **** we finished 7th and got into Europe - just enjoy it. We are not one of those self entitled soft arse clubs that feel we have a God given right to be top half Prem - we are Burnley.

Attendances have very little effect on PL clubs finances.We have failed to invest over a number of windows.Nobody is asking the club to throw the kitchen sink at it but at least give it a go.

[CaspertheClaret]

We are not.

We are off our game but a long way from being useless. Its like you want to prove yourself right and happy to jump up and down when we get beat. We are going to lose a few more so you will get a chance to do more jumping.

But hey even if we are as you say "useless" then you will be right and we will still only be in the Championship.

[CaspertheClaret]

Oh and btw I am still optimistic.

Its not a bad thing to be pessimistic but it does have a real crap effect on those around you.

[ClaretinBudapest]

With regard to the team`s performances since April,what exactly are you optimistic about Casper?

[CaspertheClaret]

I am optimistic that things will improve in terms of results and performance.

With regards to this season what exactly are you pessimistic about Claret In Budapest?

[The Bedlington Terrier]

Huge parachute payments if we go down with a squad that would walk the Championship. Stop mithering!

I think all Burnley fans know exactly what we are, and where we are from...
Its about showing up to a game, with the correct team selection, the right prep for the opponent, and having the desire to win!
On a further a level its about getting the team in a good place, building on last season setting new targets and building on success.. investing in quality players to push the quality and technical ability that our grit/ determination and luck masked last season...

Now do you feel that all these are on point? more to it fella than a 4:2 loss isnt there!
