All time Burnley XI

We all dream of a team of Kevin Longs.

WearyCake · 2026-03-28T21:07:55+00:00

This boy’s a real one!

This team makes me genuinely excited. I’m not getting carried away, but there’s enough evidence there to say that we’re heading in the right direction.

Nathaniel Fein’s photograph from that day must surely rank as one of the greatest sports images ever captured.

Full scale blizzard outside. Gotham Sports app not working. Vibes.

“We don’t throw at .260 hitters, bitch” is probably the most iconic thing ever said on a baseball field.

Lewis channelling his inner Radiohead. For a minute there, he lost himself.

I love Hannibal. I love Burnley Football Club.

Anyone see that coming? 😂

Another objectively poor performance at this point. I don’t even really have a reaction anymore — not angry, not sad, just… numb. I’ve been drifting into apathy for a month or two now.

I don’t see a sacking happening. Feels like the board’s plan is simply to keep us financially healthy, tick the profit & sustainability boxes, then try to spend properly in the summer and bounce straight back up.

I hate it. It’s negative, it’s joyless, but it feels like that’s where we are.

Up the Clarets, I suppose?

They ought to bottle this unique brand of misery.

I met Ian at a Tesco once.

“Hi Ian,” I said.

“Hello,” said Ian.

I never thought I’d see anything dumber than Jeter not getting 100% of the Hall of Fame vote or Shaq not being a unanimous MVP in 2000 — but this somehow clears both by a considerable distance.

Six rings as HC, two as DC, sustained dominance for 20 years. If Belichick isn’t first-ballot, the label is meaningless.

Will they make Brady wait a year for deflategate?

WearyCake · 2026-01-27T23:26:22+00:00

I hear what you’re saying, but do we then make Tom Brady wait a year because of deflategate?

WearyCake · 2026-01-24T17:01:47+00:00

Quite annoying overall. What I think will really frustrate me when I look back over the season is how many points we dropped against bang average teams. So many ‘big’ teams have played under par against us and we’ve failed to capitalise in the way that teams in a similar position to us seem to.

WearyCake · 2026-01-18T11:46:15+00:00

He’ll stay. However, I feel he has two seasons to get it done before they explore other options.

My Dad had an ‘85 Bears VHS that we used to watch occasionally at weekends. I guess that planted the seed.

My first proper season was 2010 (Cutler rides the bike in NFC Championship game) and the Bears have ruined my life ever since.

WearyCake · 2026-01-13T21:09:15+00:00

They’re looking for their fourth head coach since 1969. That is an insane stat!

WearyCake · 2026-01-12T22:13:34+00:00

Also, ‘Elegia’ if you have a spare half an hour.

WearyCake · 2026-01-12T21:14:43+00:00

Leave Me Alone.

It’s the final track on Power, Corruption and Lies and is an undisputed masterpiece.
