Rubbish. Should have been 12-0. Irvine out! Boooooo 
Seriously though, a great and highly professional performance to cap a really good week for us. I was worried about the starting line-up, and we did seem to lack a cutting edge to break Burnley down during the first half-hour or so, but once we went ahead and the spaces started to open up, everything clicked into place. Midfield worked really hard, Lescott was an absolute hero once again, and Dawson also seemed really comfortable alongside again. As for Saido? I don't want to jinx him, but if he stays fit and in form, he should comfortably be aiming for a double-figure goal return this season.
Some tough fixtures ahead, but with confidence and momentum on our side, hopefully we can keep the points trickling in. Keep it up, Alan!
