⚽ It's "must-win" #MatchDay again! Burnley travel to Vicarage Road to face Watford this afternoon (3pm KO) The question is, how many "must-win" matches can a team fail to win, before something has to give? #WATBUR #BurnleyFC #Clarets

📰 Back in 1908, views were not aired on social media, a radio phone-in, or in a podcast - you wrote a letter to the local newspaper instead ✍️ This was from the Burnley Express (03.10.1908) "...changes are needed in the team if we are to win matches..." #BurnleyFC #Clarets

⚽ Why do clubs like Brighton tend to get 'top dollar' for their players, but clubs like Burnley almost always end up selling their main assets on the cheap? I know there's the 'relegated discount' angle, but it was just the same during the seasons spent in the Premier League #BurnleyFC #Clarets
