Stoke City 0 Burnley 1, Saturday 1st March
Deano screamer shatters Potters

The statistics said...

We beat Stoke City 1-0 at the Britannia Stadium. Dean West scored our goal in the 56th minute - a fantastic right-footed, top-corner shot from around thirty yards out. Somewhat reminiscent of the last time a Burnley right back scored a fantastic goal at the same ground...

Our survey said...

Whitto:
A poor game, and Stoke managed to bring us down to their level. They were rubbish, really. Fred's 25-yarder was the difference - otherwise it was a definite 0-0. Oh, by the way, the ref was the worst homer this season. Joslin, you're a disgrace!

Nigel:
Poor match, poor referee, great goal. A poor home crowd, but a good away following. It was an interesting journey away from the ground after the game, via the "special" bus service. Let's just say I'm lucky to be able to tell the story! I don't think we'll be playing Stoke next season.

Woody:
It was a poor match between two poor sides on the day, badly refereed, and won with a tremendous goal. Still, the papers will show three points to Burnley.

Luke:
I fell asleep at around thirty minutes! Nice pie at half time.

Simon:
A well-refereed game, and an effective use of substitutes by Stan the man.
Editor's note: a touch of sarcasm may have been in the air here!

Barbara:
Oh dear, how sad: no Delilah! Great ground, no fans.

Joan:
A hard slog by one poor team against one very tired team, with one brilliant shot. The highlight of the day was sitting upstairs in the front seat of the double-decker bus provided by Stoke, with a police escort, weaving our way through the traffic back to the station. Quite an experience!

Dermot:
A very poor game between two sides at different ends of the table, separated over ninety minutes only by a tremendous goal from Dean West.

Lee W:
Poor match, poor ref, poor Stoke, mediocre Burnley, great goal, good result!

Poll of the day

How it works: A key issue is highlighted, and each London Claret present at the post-match inquest casts one vote. Today's poll saw 10 votes cast.

Question: Will we beat Watford and reach the FA Cup semi finals?

The result: 9 voters said "Yes! Of course!". There was only 1 dissenting voice. Naturally, we wouldn't dream of identifying him - but if we do beat Watford, the drinks will be on him. (Cheers, Luke!)

Pic of the day

Tempted though we were to publish an amusing picture of various London Clarets looking ridiculous (and we've got hundreds of photos that fall into that category), the day belonged to one man. Time to worship at the altar of St Fred.

And yes - he may have four legs, but that goal showed us that he's no donkey!
