Well, they're beating Spurs so I think they're amazing right nowThey were spanked by city recently
Edit: sorry that was fa cup
Burnley do play the long ball very well, it is tumescent but effective at times. Spurs are facing the same frustration we did, you spend minutes trying to find the right penetrative ball and build up play nicely and then you lose the ball and they just lump it up the pitch and end up in a dangerous position.
Not even sure whether I’m happy about this. Kind of wanted Spurs to keep the pressure up, even though they aren’t going to win league realistically. But then thinking at the same time that if they drop points we can catch them.
Spurs have not finished mid table for more than a decade and they were in the Champions League quarter final a couple of years before Poch took over.
He has done a very good job but lets not re-write history.
That was the FA Cup.
I think it is more than fair to not buy into Pochettino fully, it is also very fair to believe that we are best placed to stick with Ole.
Poor result and horrendous performance that for Spurs.
What a win for Burnley.
It's not small time, it's about what I want as a United supporter. I want a club that I feel connected with, and hiring the past three 'big-name' outsiders hasn't worked out. Now everyone's incredibly happy with Ole, because he has shown at United that he can do the job we'd like to see from a United manager, while restoring the family feeling to the club that we've all longed for.
I'd be really unhappy if the club were to risk this feeling that is currently at the club in favour of getting another big name who's supposedly such a good manager that he can get top four while not competing for any other titles. Yes, getting a good squad is partly down to him and partly down to some of the players being there, but I'd say based on the squad he's got at his disposal he is pretty much achieving a par score. He's not making Kane, Alli, Eriksen and the likes overperform, but is rather doing what is expected of them given the squad he has. Ole's slightly overachieving, but he's doing it with a squad that isn't even his, whereas Poch's had five years to get this squad together.
We’ll have that
To the Spurs thread!
Well done Burnley. Bad loss for Spurs.
Nah, laundry.
fecking hate Burnley and the worm eating Pulis duplicate.
Finally! They were due a result like this. Should fight for the 4th spot, not for the title.
You're not hiring anybody else than Ole if you get top four, it doesn't fecking matter what Poch does.
Dyche is really a budget Simeone. Sets up his team the same way, same formation + the touchline antics and tough guy stuff. I can't think of two similar managers.
Chubby cheeks not happy.
Nah, we're not title quality but we're miles better than you or Chelski.
Poch
27 games in and Spurs have yet to draw a game. Impressive.
State of Poch here
The state of Pochettino.
Poch rightly furious
Beat Liverpool and we go within 6 of Spurs
What's Poch arguing about? Lost fair and square.
Think he rested a few players as well. Staying in the PL is more important.
Poch getting confrontational with the ref, touchline ban for him.
I much prefer nice guy Ole.

Poor from Pochettino
Equilibrium will be restored once Poch leaves and a few first team players go to be replaced by Soldado type signings never you fear that. Might take a couple years but it will happen and Spurs will return to being the Everton of London.
Oh man, thanks for cheering me up after this.
I switched off after Lamela headed it straight at Heaton, what is he angry about? The corner?
8 unbeaten for Burnley. 5W 3D 0L
Think it was about Burnley getting a corner that led to a goal.
Stuff like that makes me respect refs even less. If he had any balls he'd send Poch off.
The corner kick that first Burnley goal came from
We didn't play well, tho' can't really say we deserved to lose, but that's football.
Big blow to any slim title hopes that we had.

Isn't Mike Dean supposed to be Spurs's closet fans? Or am i mistaking him for another ref?
Poch lost it a bit there.
If it is about the award of the corner, I suggest he be more annoyed by his own teams shit marking.
That's why I find it difficult to get annoyed when a team scores from a free-kick/corner that was wrongly awarded - ultimately, 99% of the time if your team defend properly, you won't concede.
