I have had enough of waiting for somebody to do us a favour. It's not going to happen. The only way we get in the top 2 is by winning the next 3. That's the challenge. And we can do it.
It's been like that for a while. Burnley and Middlesbrough are not dropping points in these peripheral games, and will continue to keep winning them.

3 wins, as before. Focus on Charlton.

It's funny that everyone says plenty more twists and turns to come.....

What a load of rubbish...there have been no twists or turns since Cardiff won a point at Burnley

Agreed - but as the pressure mounts ..........someone's going to crack and my money is on those no-hopers from
the no-hope town of losers Burnley

Not anymore. QPR home and Charlton away are gimmes.

I expect they may not need to win both games to go up as we play Borough last day

Wow, I've heard it all now, from the Sky commentators sucking of Dyche:

"Was it almost a bit harsh then, the way the goal went in, that you had a bit of luck because you didn't need that luck the way you played"

Seriously, WTF!

Gods country fortnightly
Did the Burnley keeper have to make a save?

Did the Preston keeper? Equal shots on goal and one more on target for Burnley and that was a goal, on another night Preston would have got something

I dunno, lend me your crystal ball and I'll have a look.
It says Burnley win their next two and are promoted.
It would take an early sending off for either of those 2 to have a chance against Burnley. Thankfully, Barton is a ticking time bomb.
Unfortunately, he's managed to convince refs he does nothing wrong. As he shouted at the ref tonight, after knocking someone down 'no way, no way, no ****ing way', sewing seeds of doubt for his next foul.
Yeah could really think of 2 easier fixtures for them...
Burnley have some good players and have ridden their luck. Without their luck, they'd be in the playoffs.

Christ, we are a bitter lot aren't we?

Some absolute GEMS on Twitter tonight as well -

"If Burnley go up they will be the luckiest team ever" - yes, because as we well know you can just fluke your way to a 21 game unbeaten streak
"Barton is a shit player" - no, he really isn't. He is clever and actually one of the best players at this level. But he is a prick

Don't begrudge them the win tonight as they were the better team. HOWEVER, the two teams that play the best football are unlikely to go up automatically (IMO of course) m. Oh and Bartons a **** and so is Dyche :thumbsup:
