Kudos to the scousers that was a fantastic send off they gave Sami Hyppia. Really impressive, powerful image.

It's the Phil Brown show at Hull! Brown singing and then inviting his players on for their lap of honour after finishing. :roll:

Would be nice to see them continue their end of season run next season.

Thank goodness it's over. All of Finland especially TV was sucking up to Liverpool because of him. Now we have legions of fans that need... I don't know what. A new team maybe that's what.

But how about Shearer going down huh? I like Newcastle but soon as Shearer took charge I knew I would be elated if they went down.

 

[Jameel46]

Putting shearer incharge when they're in a relegation battle was just stupid, shame to see them go down and see Hull stay up but Newcastle really did shoot themselves in the foot by appointing an inexperienced manager during a vital time for them.

 

[Cruisio]

Phil Brown really is a right tit - to all those that saw his celebrations after the game

I agree. They were perhaps thinking that Shearer would provide some inspiration or illicit some kind of emotional response, but apart from the fans how many of the players really care what Shearer did for Newcastle as a player?

The bigger mistake was letting Hughton run things for so long after Kinnear got sick, with Kinnear at the helm they looked like theyd just about be ok. Hughton never was and never will be a manager, he might make a good assistant but nothing more than that.

So...Burnley vs Sheffield United...who is the lesser of two evils?

 

[AnthonyG]

I'm thinking that Burnley might take it. I just read that, although this is their 61st match of the season, they've only used 23 players. That's quite a feat for me.

 

[tam1886]

Looking forward to this game. Burnely all the way for me. Coyle has done a great job on a budget and got a hell of a lot out of those players.

And there's no way anyone should be wanting Sheff Utd back in the big time. If there is any justice in this world, Chris Morgan will never play in the Premier League again in his life.

 

[dbig]

Definitely Burnley for me. Although we could send out our CC team if Sheff Utd were to be promoted...

Used to quite like the 2 Sheffield teams at the start of the EPL but the last time Sheff Utd came up with Warnock in charge left me with a bitter taste. Don't hope to see them again soon, even if Warnock is no longer in charge.

 

[Arai]

Burnley 1-0 Sheff Utd

 

[AnthonyG]

Well, there we go. Burnley against the run of play, go up 1-0. Very nice finish by Elliot.

 

[tam1886]

McCann subbed off for Burnley through injury. Joey Gudjohnsen on.

 

[AnthonyG]

Wow, a stunning miss from Gudjonsson off the knee/shin with an open net a couple of feet out, but good defending off the line. Could be very costly.

A stunning recovery tackle by Walker on a Burnley player (Blake I think) though on goal, keeps S.Utd in it for now.

 

[tam1886]

Another great saving tackle from Sheff Utd there. Bad beat Bob was a cert to score there.

 

[AnthonyG]

Yeah, it was one of those 'win the ball or it's a dead-cert penalty' tackles. Blake looks like he's done now.

 

[tam1886]

Excellent, penalty claim from Sheff Utd denied. Must say it seemed a pretty good shout too.

 

[AnthonyG]

Definitely would have been a free-kick if it had occurred outside the box.

A couple more peno shouts from S. Utd. It's all them at the moment.
