That was the first season after the offside rule changed from 3 to 2 defensive players closer to the goal than the attacking team. You'd have thought they were used to it by April but the 1925/6 season in Division 1 saw a 40% increase in the number of goals scored.

Still not sure how Burnley were 2-0 down on 39 minutes and led 2-3 at half time. Has to be the most unlikely happening of the season ๐Ÿคฃ #burnleyfc

With Dubravka making a great save with the last kick of the game on both occasions...

Been a Seahawks fan for 42 years so absolutely delighted that we won the Superbowl again!

Though I've been informed that Alan Pace's daughter has said on TikTok that it was about a 'small minority of fans'. Burnley fans could scarcely have been more patient with every manager we've had in the Premier League but 17 games without a win is bound to tip fans over the edge.

I personally didn't interpret it as him comparing fans to 3 year old's throwing a tantrum but he certainly left it open to that interpretation. I thought it was just a ridiculous, nonsensical reply (not his first) that bore no relation to the question he'd been asked.

Last Burnley striker to score 20+ goals in a season, could be a while before we have another one.

Well that is a new low from #Burnleyfc this season. I feel like I've stuck by them a lot through relegation seasons in the past but that was pathetic.

Happy Candlemas/ Groundhog Day
In Germany there was a belief that if a badger emerged from its sett today and saw its shadow it would hibernate for another 6 weeks. When German settlers went to Pennsylvania they carried on the tradition but no longer had badgers so it was transferred to groundhogs.

Following extensive research (ChatGPT) Burnley are the only team promoted from the Championship with 100+ points to have been relegated from the PL the next season and it's odds on for a repeat. The only other team that struggled were the Leicester team who won the PL the next season #burnleyfc

MOTD has been dreadful for Burnley this season. Any goal we have scored has been analysed as how poorly defended it was.

I remember this game really well. In fact I even remember my mate saying, as we lined up to take the final corner, "I'm going to go absolutely mental if we score from this" and we all did!

#burnleyfc I don't recall seeing this video before but I do have a memory of the goals at least!

A reminder that the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse were Conquest, War, Famine and Death who were messengers of the end of days. Probably nothing in it...

The problem for me is that, for tonight's decision at least, it was a classic VAR slow motion or freeze frame decision. Watch that at normal speed and it's a fleeting contact. At slow motion it's a red card which can't be right.

I didn't manage it in January last year so I'm pleased with this from Lytham St Annes. Clockwise Daisy, Red campion, Shepherd's purse, Common sowthistle, Rosemary, Gorse, Groundsel, Seaside daisy, Greater periwinkle and Dandelion. Rosemary an escapee but was in flower! #wildflowerhour #winter10

Thankfully for me, the poor run of Burnley form has been mirrored by my beloved Seattle Seahawks winning the last 7 games, winning the NFC West and claiming the #1 seed in the play offs. Brilliant performance last night! #seahawks

Our owners will have been in charge 5 full seasons and, assuming we go down, will have been relegated in 3 of them with 3 different managers and 3 different squads that haven't been nearly good enough, I think they need to look at themselves.

Didn't expect anything else with the number of players we have missing but that was still shambolic from Burnley. Brighton haven't won in 6 games and we just gifted them the points. No idea where we go from here but something needs to change #burnleyfc
