pillred Posted April 25, 2023 Report Share Posted April 25, 2023 (edited) Would you prefer Burnley to beat Blackburn tonight and already be champions before they play us, or would you rather they needed to beat us to do it? I would like to see how we do against a Premier League-bound team that needs to go for it. Edited April 25, 2023 by pillred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sephjnr Posted April 25, 2023 Report Share Posted April 25, 2023 I'm more concerned about if QPR need to beat us on the final day to stay up. Burnley would like the result but don't need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst not wanting to lose the QPR game I wouldn't say I was in any way concerned about the result, if Burnley don't win tonight they may well need it though the results would have to be pretty incredible for them not to do it anyway.

Betty Swallocks Posted April 25, 2023 Report Share Posted April 25, 2023 Isn’t the benefit of mid-table mediocrity being able to enjoy the end of the season without having to worry about results? 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No point being bitter about parachute payments . It’s a unfair advantage no doubt & has caused lots of problems for clubs financially trying to chase the dream. They’re still champions though 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted April 25, 2023 Report Share Posted April 25, 2023 Don’t like guard of honour stuff, but happy for us to be respectful if they’ve won the title….and then show them zero respect when the game starts. I’m sure they’d rather have their GoH at Turf Moor though??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Posted April 25, 2023 Report Share Posted April 25, 2023 (edited) Couldn't care less tbh they will prob win tonight. QPR is a bigger game as want to send them down Edited April 25, 2023 by Super Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoystonFoote'snephew Posted April 25, 2023 Report Share Posted April 25, 2023 If Burnley win tonight I don't believe Saturday becomes any easier. Not only don't I think Kompany would allow them to ease off, but they'd still be on for a 100 point season. A milestone worth shooting for.

22A Posted April 26, 2023 Report Share Posted April 26, 2023 April 1976; last game of the season. City's players were hung over still as after the Tuesday night they had attended receptions and celebrations each night since. Notts Co won the game but formed up at the end to aplaud City. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppyDAZE Posted April 26, 2023 Report Share Posted April 26, 2023 (edited) As already pointed out. Not keen on a guard of honour for the parachute payments, and in effect, that's what you're doing . Edited April 26, 2023 by AppyDAZE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
