They both must have their eyes on the PL record for both all-time as well as for a season

G.Neville still has his head in their glory days and still hasn't entirely accepted how shit they are now.Woodward couldn't even cope with a bit of poker from Dortmund... imagine what would Levy would do to him.
Not only would he not get Son or Kane, he'd leave the negotiations so distraught that he'll be praying for Man United fans to burn his house down (as they've nearly done before), just to end the misery.
Let me guess - you thought they played well?Was just trawling through some of the absurd in-game comments as always amusing and this one amazed me at 1-0. I really can't relate to some fans on here
One year on from Pochettino getting sacked for playing tedious, midfield-less crap, we're still churning out midfield-less, tempo-less, humpball like that.
Kane's responsible for setting up or scoring about 75% of all our goals through outstanding individual moments. Tonight he saved us from being a goal down before we'd scored with our first shot on target on the 76th minute. We are more the Harry Kane team than we've ever been.
And we are still watching a midfield pair containing that lobotomised rhino Sissoko bunting the ball backwards to whoever just hot potato'd it to him, that's when he actually gets forced to receive the fucking thing. Dier humping the ball out of touch every 10 minutes. The Brazilian Lennon aimlessly bouncing around like a peptic pinball. fucking Doherty makes Trippier look like Carvahal.
Our attacking players look like they haven't been coached for months, they all just stand around when we have the ball waiting for a miracle of immaculate conception, apart from Son who gets a PCP enema whenever Kane gets the ball on the halfway line.
Just because football's gone a bit bonkers, Utd, Woolwich and Chelsea are all stupid enough to let the kit boy manage their teams, City are running on fumes from 3 years of Pep and we might somehow Kane-grind our way to a top four place, doesn't make what we are doing great. It really fucking isn't.
Tonight's victory was the footballing equivalent of getting a hand job from a tranny whilst they simultaneously scrape the other hand down a fucking blackboard.
Thinking about it, I think this is similar to the Wembley game we won 1-0 at the death with Eriksen. Burnley were fine wasting and blocking and finally we broke through.Interestingly this match reminded me of games under Poch.
Calm. Take your time. Take and extra touch. Wait for the right moment, there is no rush. Keep the ball at all costs; go backwards if you need.
A frustrating watch, but it was clear to see that Jose did not want them playing explosive; quick football. We weren't looking for 3,4,5 goals here; it was about getting the 3 points in a controlled manor without taking risk.
As well as making the life of a Burnley fan even more depressing! Ouch.Dyche saying this was Burnley's best performance to date - with several key players back they were much improved - makes our three points all that much sweeter.
He made some important tackles and broke up play too in a few key moments. I get that people want to see our sexy players all the time but Jose and the team got this one spot on. It was 100% not our fault the game was crap. This was an impressive performance and result.e) Team choice
Sissoko was chosen ahead of Lo Celso for his physicality and defending of set pieces.
You must be joking he never jumps to head the ball and unless he can run with a player who his slightly ahead and can do a slide tackle he can’t tackle. Gets beaten too easily fir a big man.

We have been better at fast break attacks, or transition as we have to call it now, than any other team in the league, and Kane is an absolute master at defeating defences with one pass.good win, but we lacked to ability to move the ball forward fast on the counter (allowing them to pack their defence) we also lack clever players who can find that defence cutting pass
Agree on all apart from Davies over regie there. Think we should have started Regie just gives more then davies going forward, much better crosses in too. Davies lost the ball quite a bit and gets done over defensively a few times. Great at LCB but still would go for Regie at LB...
I think Jose is worried about Ndombele getting tired and Gio getting injured; so he's decided to rotate them as the attacking mid spot alongside 2 holding mids.
If it means they both stay injury free, and therefore in some big games we can play them together, Jose will feel vindicated.
However, I'm personally not convinced by Sissoko starting in the PL. He's definitely lost a lot of his athletic ability since his injury last season, and he was never talented with the ball at his feet. Should be dropped.
I shall never use the expression againYes, occasionally.... but I'd never have the temerity to expect the quality or outcome of the match be catered to my needs or demands!
When they say 'it's a terrible/great game for the Neutral' who are they catering to? The only fans in any given game who GENUINELY care about the result are the two sets of fans of the clubs playing, plus any fans of clubs for whom the result directly affects them... and of course, each clubs direct rival, who just want them to lose!
Anyone else who cares not a bit about the result shouldn't even get a mention about what result to expect, or what type of game would 'please them'.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for alleviating the pressure by watching two clubs for whom I have no affinity for, slugging it out, and seeing their fans go through 90 minutes of torture.... but I wouldn't expect 'a mention'
....it is a genuine bugbear of mine that every time a game either has goals galore, or the opposite, and fails to live up to expectations, the cliche is thay it's always the 'neutral' for whom it was a great/lousy game for....
Why is that? Is it cos in any given game, more neutrals are watching than actual fans with a vested interest in the result? I'm not so sure....
Anyway, we won tonight, it was a terrible spectacle, but fuck it, we won, so a great game for Spurs fans everywhere, not so for Burnley fans!
I couldn't care less what the 'neutrals' thought of it!
No doubt they'll be tuning into Bangkok Utd vs Shanghai Rangers at 3am, to be further disappointed by the emptiness and neutralality of their support!
I know what you mean.... it's games like these on which reputations are earned!Love wins like this tonight...absolute rugby team thinking they can push over a bunch of overpaid spice boys...think again Burnley, we play with stitches and bandages on our heads these days...
