About Burnley

Burnley are back in the Championship following their relegation from the Premier League last season.

They have either been promoted from the Championship or relegated from the Premier League in each of the last five seasons.

They are currently 22nd with 10 points from 14 games.

Club Connections

Craig Bellamy obviously played for us and went on to be assistant manager at Burnley.

Peter Whittingham had a loan spell with Burnley before joining Cardiff City.

The Opposition's Manager

Fabio Celestini has been Burnley manager since October.

While as Basel manager, he won the Swiss Super League and the Swiss Cup.

His last job before this was at CSKA Moscow.

Opposition Dangerous Players

Kyle Walker won six Premier League titles while at Manchester City. He also won the Champions League, the FA Cup twice and the Carabao Cup four times.

Jamie Vardy was a summer signing. Despite now being 39, his quality is still there. He recently scored his first goal for the club.

Without a doubt should be looking to win this game. Burnley have a new manager too but haven't seen a massive improvement.

If we can win then that will have been eight points from Middlesbrough, Birmingham, Wolves, West Ham and Burnley which most will have been very pleased with.

Burnley travel to South Wales looking for only their second win of the league season, and their first under new boss Fabio Celestini

BBM :


Fresh Cardiff blow ahead of Burnley!

Gabriel Osho was expected to return tomorrow after serving his three-match suspension, but Brian Barry-Murphy has revealed the defender is now struggling with a knee injury during training.”

"Gabriel Osho has had an issue with his knee, which means that he misses a period," BBM confirmed.

Gabriel Osho – Knee problem, set for another spell on the sidelines.

International break can’t come soon enough for our defence,even when at full strength they basically can’t keep a clean sheet.

We have to be up for this today we raise our game for the big teams,we need to be at them today,
giving them an early lead would be the worse thing to do today.

Got to win today surely as they they have been absolutely abysmal this season. Open up a bigger gap between us and them is key before the international break

If we don’t win, their will be the usual fee with excuses:

Ex Prem / Small squad / injuries

All bullshit as other clubs week by week beat them.

Small squad is BBM Choice

Injuries every club has them this time of year

But i believe We will Win, Burnley are awful beyond

Exactly annis I believe we can win comfortably irrelevant of Injuries they also got a load out so it's no different and like we always hear the small squad violin but are we going to be hearing the same thing come February after the next window no doubt we will if he's not being backed. Starting to get on my tits . We got most of a bench of kids who will probably never play and one example Turnbull to change games it's beyond.

Exactly Ian,

Many other clubs are suffering injuries as well.

Annis genuine question, why are you always so divisive these days? I dont come here very often any more because I got fed up of the ongoing negativity, the constant need for drama.

You used to have a reasonable take and we used to be able to have decent discussions on here, but every time I pop back over I see you needing to split the fan base into those who agree with you and those who don't.


You used to be way better than that but I cant remember the last time you said something positive, its like your always working an angle, always looking for someone to attack, something to moan about.

It's a shame.

Neither of the last two teams to face them managed to win, despite both being well above us in the table and having beaten us this season!!

Obviously hope we get the win, but I think it's a real 50/50 game!!

But we do have super Jack!!

The Last Post plays as we remember those who we have lost.

Despite so many empty seats, City Fans very loud

Robertson with a big interception. Largie Ramazani gets in behind Bielik and Alex Robertson does brilliantly to cut out the low cross.
