Burnley director: Giggs and Neville fear Turf Moor roar


WHEN Burnley found out that the first ever Premier League match to take place at Turf Moor would be against Manchester United, Brendan Flood did not hesitate to contact a couple of old friends – Ryan Giggs and Gary Neville.

A home game against United is appealing enough for everyone involved with the Clarets, but operational director Flood will be keen to put one over on a club with which he has a number of business links.

Giggs and Neville could yet be involved for the visitors on August 18, and they have told Flood that Burnley may be playing United at the right time, with Alex Ferguson’s side traditionally starting the season slowly.

“I’ve got lots of pals at United,” said Flood.

“I went and wound up the players I know, so I don’t think they’ll be looking forward to it!

"But some of the lads there did say the best time to play them is at the start of the season.

“So we’ve got to hope that our confidence and the end of last season, against the big clubs starting out and getting into a rhythm, that hopefully the margin between us isn’t much and we might be able to get a few points on the board early doors.

“I’m good pals with Ryan Giggs and Gary Neville.

“They did say that if your fans do make a lot of noise and make their presence felt then the United players dreaded playing at Stoke because the fans made such a difference.”

The only noise coming out of Turf Moor will be the sound of crying as they get hammered every match.

'Ive got lots of pals at United'

Yeah, right. Of course you have.
And they've all told you they are quaking in their boots at the prospect of the Burnley roar.

That would be very funny if it wasnt so tragic.

Is this the same Ryan giggs,Who has done it all,Seen it all,Played at some of the biggest football stadiums in the world ?Crapping himself at playing at turd moor.
Every time Mr Flood opens his mouth,Its just utter crap,He talks like he has been in the premiership for years,And now he is giving the impression that Man u have something to fear coming to turd moor,Get a grip Flood.If Mr Floods neck bends anymore,It will be up his own ar5e licking away....
I see he has not bought that new wig he promised himself if they made to the Premiership.

Given the ethnicity of some of Manure's palyers they will be worried when they see all the burning crosses as they approach the Turd.

All those lads wearing their white hoodies too.

“I went and wound up the players I know, so I don’t think they’ll be looking forward to it! "

It went like this:

GIGGS and NEVILLE are chatting as FLOOD approaches.

GIGGS: " Oh god, it's that slaphead, Flood. He owes me thousands"

NEVILLE: "Me too"

FLOOD; "Naw then seethee" Don't think thas be lookin f'ward thas first game at T*rd, will thas. I mean it's a reet sh*thole. Changin rooms are diabolical, we ain't got showers r'owt and have portaloos if thas want a s**t

NEVILLE:(sighing) Yeah whatever Floody.

GIGGS; Mutters, "Arse*ole" under his breathe.

FLOOD: "eh, eh, thats nowt, you wanna seet fans"

GIGGS: What about em, Floody?

FLOODY: Eh eh, thas all getten 3 thumbs, an look like each other. Thas best tell RIO that BNP's big in Burnalee anall.

NEVILLE: (sarcastically) Are we supposed to be scared Floody? We play the scouse 4 times a year!!!

GIGGS; We've seen it all before floody, we ain't fazed anymore.

FLOODY: Eh eh eh, you will be when thas sees all them 3 thumbed fools bayin for thas blood. Eh eh thas also get em on't pitch stripping thas clobber off an breekdancing too. Thas best watch it. Hawd thas think we beat t'Albion, Chelsea, Gunners and Spurs.. They wa terrified eys tell tha!!

NEVILLE: "Do one Floody you idiot, Nobody cares about the league cup and everyone knows that they sent out their second string sides full of kids".

FLOOD: "We've bought some new players seethee-we'll give you a reet game"

GIGGS(guffaws) "Stop it Floody, I've just put 50K on you to go down by December. It's the only way I'll get my money back that you've lost!

FLOOD: Listen lads I'm gonna get thas money back. I'm building an hotel near t'tur*. It's a winner I tell thee

GIGGS and NEVILLE in unison:

F**K OFF YOU STUPID DINGLE

Where exactly in the article does it mention them fearing the Turf Moor roar?

Its true that the best time to play Utd is at the beginning of the season, likewise Stoke was an unfriendly place to play, so exactly what has been said that is incorrect?

The Dingles are getting a bit carried away with themselves since gaining promotion.

Because of this, i've decided to offer the Dingles a series of bets to try to fetch you back down to Earth.

Bet No.1 Rovers will finish the season with a higher average attendance than Burnley.

Bet No.2 Rovers will finish higher in the Premier league than Burnley.

Bet No.3 Rovers will win more games than Burnley.

Bet No.4 Rovers will score more goals than Burnley.

Bet No.5 Rovers will concede fewer goals than Burnley.

Any takers?

You stupid little dingle. It says so in the headline. Look, I have copied and pasted it so you can read it.

Are all you lot as thick as Midas & enty46.?

Respect for RAYzer, at least he has a go and gives as good as he gets - a true claret like I am a true blue. But Midas and enty 46.. Horrible supporters, probably in their first and only season as a claret.
