Burnley v Leeds

[Bob Fossil]

86 minutes no shots on target. Late winner?

[Baggiejacko]

I bet both sets of fans are bricking it at the thought of conceding late. Ain't that a bit of a needle game fan wise usually?

Absolutely dreadful game.

Burnley only conceded 5 at home all season.. I can see why, hardly tried to get forward.

[Baggiejacko]

Dreadful but effective. Burnley 15 unbeaten and Leeds 10 unbeaten with both vying for automatic promotion. Does the job required

[Sandking]

We play Mowbray ball against either of these two on that showing and they will absolutely shit themselves.

They looked like two mid-table Championship teams who had a gentlemen's agreement it would be an absolute nothing game with both sharing the points.

Dog shit the pair of em'

[yeoman lai]

Stolen from elsewhere..

Burnley could make history by winning promotion, only to be told by the PL "fuck off you aint coming in you boring cunts"

[Tom of the Brom]

Rather be in Burnleys position than ours .

I don’t know how anyone watching that can claim that this championship season is as strong as last year given that these are easily 2 of the best teams in the league.

I've seen Man City v Liverpool play out drab boring games, would you claim they're two poor teams? 

You may well be right, but it's very harsh to judge the quality of two teams and the strength of the league on one game.

Fully agree. Last season was so tough as 3 established PL clubs came down. Even with selling players off, the quality of their squads and the financial muscle they had put them on a different level to almost everybody else. Whilst Burnley are very effective and excellent defensively this season, they don't have the quality of individuals they had 2 years ago (who were mainly loan players). Sheff Utd have brought in good quality Championship players who I think have a very good chance of getting them up first time but that squad will get slaughtered in the PL as they did last season.

If ever something demonstrated the increasing gulf between the Prem and the Championship it's that the likes of Albion, Blackburn and Watford have sold off key players, reduced costs and overall weakened themselves in the last year or two and yet are comfortably and deservedly in the mix for 5th and 6th spot.
