The euphoria of winning or the depression of hanging on.

i'm enjoying this season as much as i did enjoying Seans's last season in the Championship, far more than any season in the prem. In fact i'm enjoying this more than Sean's season as good as it was, we are playing much better footie. The only downside at the moment is Sheff U won't let go, so we need to stuff them at the turf. Bottom line, we're better being big fish in a smaller pond, it's more satisfying.

would still mean Burnley coming in second Kritti....so have to imagine something else if you want more Championship fun next season.

Well, it's one a.m and I've sucked dry the accolades in the press, fans comments and anything else on offer, I've drunk more than usual tonight and will go to be bed with a warm euphoric feeling, happy days.

no Norder, prem next season, then perhaps a bit of mediocrity and a season's survival before relegation again. Ad nauseum..

Although there is still a way to go, Watford in 3rd are averaging 1.6 points per match. If they maintain that average they will have 73 points at the end of the season. Four wins will see us on 74. Simplistic I know, but the PL looks increasingly likely next season.

I too am enjoying this season more than any I can remember. It is a dilemma wanting success but then fearing how we would fare in the PL.

IF we can add Beyer, Tella and Maatsen on permanent deals to what we already have, add a couple of strikers and another midfielder and the world's our oyster, providing we can keep hold of VK of course.

I agree BT. I think it is MLK who said “we have nothing to fear but fear itself.” We gave a good account of ourselves at Man Ewe and beat Bournemouth. Brentford has shown that a small club can perform well at PL level.

Perhaps playing Kompanyball, rather than Dycheball with an aging squad, we could be a mid table team and not relegation fodder.

The belief that this lot have and the belief of the Turf Moor loyal means anything is possible if we can keep hold of VK.

Sat around us are about twenty Clarets Mad loyalists and we all thought we would win the game even after a dodgy first half. The Claret & Blue wave of attacks and the number of crosses that went into the Baggies penalty box meant no other result was even possible UTC#

The atmosphere last night was totally rocking.

This season is as good as it gets, but when Dyche had a sensibly funded PL squad he took us into Europe, so there is no reason to suppose VK cannot do the same. I much prefer the Championship, I don't relish the thought of us playing in the PL again, but there's no reason to fear it, we can survive and prosper, as have Brentford and Brighton, and as we did before for a while under Dyche.

But as BT alludes to, this is conditional on the continuation of VK as Burnley manager. He appears to be in a good place at the moment, these are his players, his team, they're playing out of their skins for him and he's loving every minute of it. It can't last forever, but hopefully he will at least establish us in the PL before he's head-hunted for a much bigger project.
