I get the idea people don’t really like Burnley. In fact, I’d say they might dislike Burnley, or that Burnley makes them mad. Previously, the indication of this was the prevalence of this clip in the replies to so many tweets about the lads I innocently chose as my favorite footie club on the basis of their irrelevance:
Today, though, Burnley achieved a new level of infuriation. They got Norwich to take two red cards. In a 14-minute span.
Now, I have no idea what provoked the actions that provoked the referees to give those responsible for the actions red cards. I don’t really watch these games, remember? What I do know is that Burnley got in Norwich’s head, the same way it was in the head of whomever possesses that delightful voice speaking in the clip with the bus.
With one more match to be played, it’s fair to celebrate what seems to have been another strong year of Burnley pissing people off. Well done, Sean Dyche. The tradition lives on.
