The 09-10 season started with much fanfare for Manchester City as they won five of their initial six Premier League matches. But now it seems that Hugh’s men have lost their way somewhere in between having been pushed eight points adrift league leaders Chelsea. Draws in last five matches (Aston Villa, Wigan, Fulham, Birmingham and Burnley) have raised serious questions over City’s ability...

5 consecutive draws. It just isn't good enough. What the hell happened? Why are we playing long-ball football, when we got it down and played some decent stuff through Bellamy & SWP we scored! It was another bad performance and another awful result. 1st Half: The game started slowly, being honest, Burnley probably started better. They played some real nice football. The first of many talking points...

City will jet out tomorrow for a sunshine break in Abu Dhabi in embarrassed, rather than holiday mood after dropping two home points against homespun opponents who had previously lost every away game this season. Leading 3-2 after 87 minutes, the money men from Eastlands were left deflated by their fifth draw in succession in the Premier League, Burnley gaining their point with a close-range finish...

Louise Taylor A most turbulent week at Hell – sorry, Hull – City concluded with a controversy-tinged defeat that threatens to cost Phil Brown his job. Already deeply in the red off the pitch, Hull were hardly in the pink on it and, long before Geovanni's second-half dismissal reduced them to 10 men, Brown's side looked second-best to Owen Coyle's impressively slick-passing, inventively...

Blackburn bounced back from an early scare to grab all three points in a lively Lancashire derby. Robbie Blake had fired Burnley ahead in the first-ever Premier League meeting between the two sides.

Andy Hunter Burnley's desperate longing goes on. Thirty years they have waited for victory over Blackburn Rovers and there was no end in sight to the Clarets' suffering against their fiercest rivals this afternoon. This proved not so much an anti-climax for Owen Coyle's side as torture. The first top-flight derby between the teams in 43 years could not have started any better for the visitors. Only...

A remarkable David Nugent double opened his Burnley account to preserve his new club's 100% home record and keep east Lancashire dreams emphatically alive after the heavy defeats at Chelsea and Liverpool. The striker's six-month loan deal from Portsmouth was one of the last bits of business before the transfer window closed, but if he can reproduce this sort of finishing on a regular basis he could...

Burnley play football. That's what you hear about this club who after a disastrous start to last season came on late to win promotion via the Championship playoffs. Along the way they had an amazing Carling Cup run, knocking off FOUR Premier League clubs before falling to Spurs. They are going to need that Cup run mentality week-in and week-out this season. And much as they did during that run, they...
