I’m back!

I have decided to come back and write for you here at TheOffside.

Well, I haven’t done a match report since, well, Wembley. So here is Burnley in the Premier League. And things have been going well so far. The Clarets currently sit in 14th place, with a mighty 19 points. Lots of positives and lots of negatives.

Lets start with the negatives, mostly away.

2-0 Loss – Stoke – Away
3-0 Loss – Chelsea – Away
4-0 Loss – Liverpool – Away
3-2 Loss – Barnsley – Carling Cup – Away
5-0 Loss – Tottenham
3-2 Loss – Blackburn – Away – Soooo upsetting.
3-1 Loss – Wigan – Home
5-3 Loss – West Ham United – Away
2-0 Loss – Porstmouth – Away
2-0 Loss – Wolves – Away

They are the results. Other negatives are Chris McCann, Martin Paterson and JayRod all out injured, hopefully all back for Old Trafford.

Right, lets hold our heads up now. Positives.

1-0 Win – Manchester United – Home
1-0 Win – Everton – Home
2-1 Win – Hartlepool – Carling Cup – Home
3-1 Win – Sunderland – Home
2-1 Win – Birmingham – Home
2-0 Win – Hull – Home

3-3 Draw – Manchester City – Away
1-1 Draw – Aston Villa – Home
1-1 Draw – Fulham – Home
1-1 Draw – Arsenal – Home

More of the positives: All new signings – Bikey, Fletcher and Mears have been brilliant. Nugent and Guerrero (both on loan) have also played very well. We have yet to see from Brian Easton, David Edgar and Richard Eckersley but they look great and will definitely help Burnley out in the future.

Anyway Bolton are the next visitors to Turf Moor on Boxing Day. Lets just hope the old Burnley curse of form after Christmas doesn’t turn up.

I promise to be back either Christmas Eve or early Boxing Day to give you team news and all the gossip from Turf Moor. UTC, Matt
