Manchester United strolled into Turf Moor with there Rolex watches, Ferrari’s parked in the car park and a stock of supporters labelled the glory hunters from other teams supporters across the country. It was little old Burnley’s first home top flight game for 33 years and you could tell.
The atmosphere at Turf Moor was electric a upgraded old stadium with the echoes of past glories reverberating as a reminder of what is possible in Football. Owen coyles men gave nothing less than every last ounce of effort they ran till they dropped as they do every week. But unlike the vast majority of other teams that will face Manchester United this season from the lower reaches of the Premier League Burnley had one thing in there favour a unshakable belief and unwilliness to sit down and give in to what in most cases would look a daunting task.
Burnley have respect for larger named clubs and players but they don’t see it as a forgone conclusion that we will be beaten by these teams. Unlike Sam Allardyce our manager Owen Coyle will not look to fixtures with the big four as bonus points he will look for the three points on every occasions . It is this mindset that will keep the clarets in the Premier League.
