Have you ever experienced relegation as a football fan?

I'm a Burnley supporter and was at the match today. Not good.

Quite difficult for me to answer this as a Liverpool fan (not just because of what happened with us today, but also that it was those bluenose neighbours of ours that did this to you). I actually spoke about Burnley before the game, constrasting them with Newcastle and wondering how you could be in your relative positions when Newcastle are a club that seemingly does everything as badly as possible, and Burnley quite the opposite.

If it means anything, I'd be surprised if you were relegated. Although I could say that about the entire bottom 10 in the league. I've never seen a Premiership with such a strong group of clubs.

You think Burnley might do a bit of business in January given how little there was in July?

@GlassDog We need signings. Trouble is that we are not really strong in any area of the team and players don't wanna come to a side that looks like getting relegated.

Not looking good for your lot mate. How on earth did you manage to concede five against the blueshite ?

Might be time to seriously consider getting rid of Dyche. Results like today's suggest he's lost whatever motivational skills he once had. Can't say I'd be too unhappy to tell the truth , not after he sent his team out to basically kick our players off the park a couple of weeks ago.

@RodionRomanovitch For the first time, Burnley fans are starting to be really critical of Dyche. Prior to that his record with us was fantastic.

Everton were good but we were terrible. Hopeless long balls up for their big defense to head away, no midfield creativity, a mistake prone defense and Joe Hart plating like he did for West Ham.

The board deserve blame for not reinforcing the squad but Dyche has no plan B and plan A is not working at all. There are problems on problems and it's looking bleak. Well done to Liverpool today. I hope they'll win the league.

@Burnley123 A couple more results like today and a change at the top might become inevitable.

Bookies have us as favourites now and for the first time this season I've actually allowed myself to entertain the thought. Still a long way to go though.

Hope they make it. Watford, Bournemouth in top 11? Seems like a strange year.

If relegation existed in the NFL I鈥檇 want the Green Bay Packers and these cretins relegated.

You may have not heard, but the Bears are in the playoffs. Anything else is old news.

@luckranger71 I'm out of the loop cos it's a few years since I've been to the States but I'm gonna guess that you don't miss Jay Cutler. 馃ぃ
luckranger7151-55, M
Nope. And Aaron Rodgers has turned into this years Cutler. @Burnley123

Man Utd for me, so it's been a while since they were out of the top flight although I do remember feeling it when they were relegated for a season in the mid 70's.

Plenty of time left to get a bit of form and go on a run.
RodionRomanovitch56-60, M
@TheConstantGardener Now you've beaten Cardiff and Huddersfield , the sky's the limit ! 馃槈
TheConstantGardener56-60, M
@RodionRomanovitch Odds on for the title I'd say 馃槜

@YukikoAmagi I think most football fans who support a non super club have been there. My team has been up and down loads of times in my life. I started supporting them when they were in the English fourth division.
@Burnley123 [c=#359E00]a super club is could be boring[/c]
