Reading this thread is making me almost nostalgic for the radio commentary, and that vocal unreconstructed male local that JC always had to apologise to the listeners for.

We should go to Turf Moor, on the premise we can win, what's the point in turning up.
As to Burnley's aggressive style, no more than any other team!

Is that right that none of the 4 sending offs have been within 4 minutes of half time?

Let's face it, Burnley aren't about subtlety or finesse. They are synonymous with snarling in yer face aggression. I'm more concerned about potential injuries than the result today.

Burnley = 4 red cards in the last five seasons.
Brighton - 20 red cards in the last five seasons.

It looks like a good point, but I think its because Burnley are drilled to be aggressive, they know the lines to cross, they share the hard tackling around, they're happy to take a yellow when needed but most of all they know how to hurt someone whilst making it look fair. Mee just broke Gomez' leg and everyone is happy to call it a fair tackle. Wow. Look at Bardsley's tackle on Bissouma at the end yesterday or the guy that slid in on Bernardo, they just knew how to put that level of violence into a tackle and not get sent off for it. Its a skill.
