May well do (I actually think they will totally stink the place out and struggle to beat Derby's record), but you still can't make that assumption based on two games and ignore the fact they finished a massive 24 points behind them

Yep, it’s not a solid basis  - and one of the only times I saw the Mackems was vs Burnley and they both looked shite

 

I think Burnley will continue with that style of play, and the clean sheets will become two and three goal losses pretty quickly

So who do they sign to stay up????

Catts for me like 

[Dr.Spaceman]

Surely club legends Pickford and Henderson will have already instructed their agents to get transfers sorted, given their love for "The Lads"

Bellingham will join Pickford, Henderson and Amad as legends even though they all played only a handful of games fir them 

In all fairness to Henderson he is still Sunderland fan and was at Wembley for their playoff final.

At fault vs Poland in 1973, stood six yards off his line for a FK twenty yards out vs West Germany in 1990.  Shilton’s incompetence got England knocked out of three WCs.

 

If there is a position that the English are shit at but have zero self-awareness about, its goalkeepers (just beating out centre backs). 

England missed a multitude of chances in 1973.

 

Waddle and Pearce missed sitters in 1990.

 

Lineker missed a sitter to equalise in 1986.

 

They all shit and to blame, or just Shilton?

[Optimistic Nut]

No way can Shilton be blamed for the Maradona handball, like. People say he should have jumped, but he shouldn't have needed to. Without Maradona's hand it's just a simple punch away and he's getting it. He shouldn't have had to take into consideration that he might cheat.

He shouldn’t be punching away, it’s a simple claim, the back pass law didn’t exist in 1986.  Maradona is almost a foot shorter than him.  It’s dogshit goalkeeping.

Should have Harald Schumacher'd the little druggie into the Atlantic.
