Part of me wants Burnley to get promoted so we get the derby games next season but I can't be doing with them maybe finishing above us in the league next season.

When Hiddink came in, we were 2 weeks from playing Juve in the Champions League. Scolari's last game against Italian opposition resulted in a 3-1 defeat against Rome. We'd just been beaten 2-0 by Liverpool and the month earlier we'd been spanked 3-0 at Manchester United. A defeat to Juve was a serious prospect.

I don't think he's worked near miracles, I just think he's done a significantly better job than Benitez.

Interesting, because from your own stats provided earlier for the period since Hiddink has been in charge, the difference amounts to 2 league points and a head to head victory over 2 legs. All done with what many (including myself) would class as a better crop of players to select from. Is that what we class as significantly better now is it?

Of course the fact you won't be able to claim you're the best of a bad bunch in Yorkshire doesn't have anything to do with that?

Personally I'd prefer Burnley as well for the following reasons:

1. Sheffield United are the worst of the squealing pigs who ran to the lawyers to get money because of the Tevez/West Ham affair.
2. As you said, Burnley would be a new side to the PL.
3. Burnley have done fantastically well in the cups this season. They've knocked out Chelsea, Arsenal, Fulham and West Brom.

On the downside, Burnley are dirty Lanky's and still have racist supporters. But the spotlight of the Premier League will probably make the racist element disappear.

That shouldn't be included though because it was entirely Scolari's fault, and nobody deserves any credit at all for out-performing Chelsea during that time period because it didn't count.

Well done Burnley. Can't see them beating the Blunts in the final at all though.
