The phrase 'sweep under the carpet' comes to mind when it comes to this weekends result against Leeds United.

No real complaints though as Burnley were outclassed in every area of the pitch and were beaten by the better side.

Plenty of talking points still though, did we miss Pope too much? has BPF proven he isn't good enough to replace Pope? Our thoughts on the Alioski incident, and more

🎧 🎙 We've done it. Burnley MATHEMATICALLY safe. Another season of Premier League football has been secured. Sean Dyche is a genius and we must protect him at all costs.

The Clarets secured that sixth season of Premier League football after their second win at Cravan Cottage this season against Fulham.

It was another game where the points were secured in the first half after Ashley Westwood capped off a lovely move by Vydra and Woody sent a rocket into the top bins to continue his excellent form.

Let's be fair - Burnley absolutely TROUNCED Wolves at Molinuex. A massive win for the Clarets against a good, but admittedly injury depleted Wolves side.

It could have been more too. It was the perfect performance from the Clarets who played like a side under no pressure whatsoever. High press, fast passing, solid defending. It had everything.

Chris Wood will of course get the plaudits for his hat-trick, and rightly so, but every single one of them lads were fantastic and gave everything.

Wow. What a week it's been for this beautiful game that we all love.

On the pitch, Burnley lost again, but the result didn't tell the full story. Burnley played well and looked better defensively than they have done in recent weeks which gives us a bit of hope results can start picking up as we move forward.

Off the pitch, well where to start? If you've missed it you've been living under a rock. The lads of course discussed the failed football coup attempt by the 'big six'.

Let's face it, we should be relaxed and on the beach now after taking the lead in our last two games against teams in and around us.

But no, bizarrely we have suddenly forgotten how to defend a lead, when it's usually what we're best at, at the worst possible time.

Still plenty of games left and most importantly still 7 points clear, if Fulham pick up then we could be in some real danger.

Let's face it, we should be ten points clear right now.

But we're not, we're seven. To be fair it could have been worse had Fulham held on but thankfully Villa did us a favour there.

Hopefully we're not relying on other teams too much for the rest of the season. Newcastle up next at home. Win it and we're all but there.

Thank the lord that the international break is finally (almost) over - and for Burnley fans this one has been particularly difficult after not having a game during the last match week before the break.

In fairness it's been a bit of a mixed-bag for the Clarets out representing their country. Pope has played all three games and kept two clean sheets in the process, becoming the first ever Englishman to keep six clean sheets in his first six games for his country - but still pundits and fans are obsessed with the fact he won't do a Cruyff turn out of the box.

Brady has picked up another injury while playing for Ireland, while BPF played the two qualifying games for Northern Ireland as JBG & Matej Vydra were in and out of their sides.

But enough of that international chat because the Premier League finally returns this weekend as the Clarets travel to St Mary's to take on a struggling Southampton side who started the season brilliantly. Three points for Burnley and it's pretty much job done in terms of survival for this season.

In the latest episode of the show we spoke about the Clarets that have been on international duty, including Nick Pope who kept his fifth clean sheet England without ever conceding a goal in 340 minutes of football. 

After that, with the podcast being broadcast live we let the fans in the chat set the agenda, so we ended up speaking a lot about potential summer signings, and outgoings, we had a debate on the Player of the Season so far, and more.

Wear yellow play like Brazil, or that seams to be the case with the Clarets this season in that beautiful yellow kit we have.

It was definitely the case this weekend at Goodison anyway. Burnley were fantastic, especially in the first half, against a very good Everton side who have a very good manager.

To cap it off the win came courtesy of two fantastic goals, especially Dwight's stunner.

Anyone still worried about relegation? Obviously we're not safe yet but play like that for the rest of the season we have more chance of finishing in the top half than the bottom three. UTC
