I will tell you this for nothing Burnley are going to surprise a lot of you this season. I know for a fact that we are going to survive, we have the correct team ethic with one of the best managers in the country. Are offensive capabilties, with the strength of Caldwell and Carlise at the back with are new full backs will be able to hold strong. Dont forget we have ' the beast ' between the sticks and hes a very strong keeper. After are carling cup run, playing the most games out of any team in England ( many apart from Man U ), with the least financial backing, smallest squad and not given a chance in hell to do anything shows a lot of people that we are a very good side. I know for a fact watching a lot of football that Burnley werent lucky getting to where they are, they do play a lot of class football and I look forward to being in the premiership this season.

look out for Wade Elliot, hes going to be the danger man this season

I cant see it personally mate, for my money you will be going back down. Probably bottom.

I know for a fact we are better than Wolves and Brum, they are shit mate. I think Hull will feel the pressures too, I think we will be fine as long as we get a good start

No offence Tam, but I think the fact that Wolves and Brum finished above you last year shows over the full season they were the better team, I hope you stay up great team to watch but I think you might struggle as I think you need someone better than Patterson up front and possibly a couple more proven premiership players

Wolves and Brum did fuck all compared to us in the cup runs, we played a lot more matches than both of them and they had more time to focus on the league. Us however made it to the semi finals of the cup and did well in the FA cup. As soon as we had time to just focus on the league the only game we lost was to sheff wed. We beat wolves at are place and we should have beaten brum but it was a draw. So I think over the season we were the better team to be honest. Martin Paterson scored 19 goals this season, hes a good striker and he looked better as the season progressed. We have got 3 players so far and they seem like good buys IMO

I'm wondering when a top club is going to take a chance on an American midfielder or striker. Dempsey has paid off for Fulham...why aren't teams looking at Charlie Davies, Freddy Adu, Michael Bradley, or Benny Feilhaber?

Lyle Freddy Adu is shocking and by all accounts when he came for a trail at United he was supposed to be awful, he has not kicke on at all.

He's going to get major run in the Gold Cup...he has done extremely well on the Youth Teams for the US and while I know that's not the highest level but he should get a bit more run than he has been, he's not great on defense but he's not going to improve without getting playing time.

Terry is being offered silly money and City may put another offer of 35million which he is not worth.

Micheal Owen will score 40 Goals this season

Adu is one of the most overhyped players ever.

Adu is one of the most overhyped players ever.

Well so was Lebron James and so was Kobe Bryant...it will take time for Freddy to acheive his potential, people talk like he's 40 years old already and the kid has never been given a chance to play regularly.

Gooch just got bought by AC Milan

Even just a few years ago I thought he was a liability. He has improved though. Hopefully he gets (at least semi) regular playing time.

I'm happy for Gooch, I am also hoping that he gets playing time though, because he had a rough stretch at Newcastle.
