Sorry........

I need more Sanatogen obviously.....

Indeed.

Burnley covered 11.9 km more than Man City did last saturday.

I know that it's a lot of ball chasing by us but that's pure graft (although if you look at the link and the 'Top 10 teams for total distance covered this season', you'll see that Man City are no slouches)

Thought your lads were unlucky yesterday. Boyd should have had a stonewall penalty and the sub Goalkeeper Kelvin Davies had a blinder.

We should have been 2-0 up and then with the penalty maybe 3-0. Although it could quite easily have been 4-4 at half time.

It was a bit of a hard luck/not really good enough story once again.

They changed their shape for the second half and stopped Trippier getting forward and getting crosses in. We had nowt to combat it and offered very little going forward in the second half.

It's going to get easier because Arsenal and Spurs are up next. 

Still positive though and the lads are giving it their all, so we can't grumble.

You are putting up a much better show than Leicester, QPR and Sunderland. I reckon most neutrals hope that Burnley stay up at the expense of the other three.

I don't. I like a good local derby.

If we carry on letting in late goals like we have been, you may well get your local derbies at Blackpool, PNE, Oldham, Rochdale and possibly Bury, 58......

Every cloud and that......

Not forgetting Wigan of course. 

You've got a point there Bread. You've opened my eyes there.

I now hope we get relegated 

We aren't consistent enough to get relegated.
