    Also, I hope the chap who deliberately stepped on Isaac Success' hand gets a ban.

    Looking forward to our 6 minutes on MOTD2 with half of that questioning if the Europa football is making Burnley 'tired'.

    2 strikers away from home and both scoring is a great start to the season let's keep the Deeney Gray partnership going.

    Some negativity on Deeneys expletive s directed to Watford fans after his goal - all last season's frustration and fat boy jibes coming out. Hopefully he now just keeps going with more good performance (and apologises to the 6 year old Watford fan he allegedly made cry with his tirade according to 3CR).

    3rd in the table. Whoopee :)

    There's no excuse for him not wearing an England shirt this season...

    Thought it would be a tight scoreline. Incredibly pleased with the result. Probably played them at the right time after the match Thursday night and we took full advantage

    Still a long way to go but a good start is so important

    First half we were 2nd best all over, but second half was excellent. Credit to Gracia for playing 2 up front sway from home when he could have been negative. Holebas very good again and 3 high quality goals. Burnley really are horrible. A very strong start to the season indeed.

    SD: "It was a really, really poor challenge (by Hughes) and I don't think he should have been on the pitch to score their third goal."

    What a ****

    I was watching on TV, just after he scored I watched him run behind the goal and looked like he was giving our fans grief but assumed he wasn’t, what did he say ?

    Great win - some cracking goals by the sounds like it!

    And, if you're looking for symmetry, the second of those wins was also an away game. At Turf Moor...

    I was expecting Burnley to be worse, to be honest we fowled them a lot more than they did to us, also though in the first half they had really good movement down both sides and a lot of crosses into the box , mor direct than skillfull but certainly effective

    Man on the edge. Always seems to think we should have a player sent off for nothing.

    Prize ****.

    Don't know just reporting what they were discussing on 3CR.
    Apparently he looked 'angry' and directed words at the fans and they asked anyone behind the goal to call in if they saw it.
    Someone sent a text saying he was swearing and his 6 year old son cried.
    I haven't seen it and this is all from the radio.

    Are us dry knickered , anti doom and gloom merchants allowed to come on here and be smug and self satisfied ?

    Or would that lack class? ;)

    When was the last time a premier team had 3 different English goal scorers in the same game I wonder. Good stat from Malts that for us in a game was 2011.

    Probably won't get mentioned though because we are a bunch of foreign mercenaries and Deeney according to the media.

    Bloody hell, Brighton 3 - 1 up on Man U approaching HT, seems we gave them the kick up the backside they needed!

    I'd rather Brighton win this if somebody does, keeps us 3rd. Fair play to them, outclassing them all over the pitch. Arsenal and Utd, shocking starts.

    Gracia is nothing but a "grinning idiot" - just you remember that.

    I hope he didn't smash his bottles?!
    Reasons to be cheerful 1,2,3!
    Away goal on three minutes,not our old striker scoring against us, but theirs.
    Another two to follow.
    Three points away from home.
    I'm looking forward to seeing MOTD.
    The game management aspect is very pleasing to hear.
    Very pleased with that.
    COYH!

    Should be putting away championship standard sides like Burnely far more comfortably than we did. Got lucky wih Gray shinning in Deeneys wayward cross, Doucs poor shot going into Deeneys path and him nearly falling over the ball. I think Hughes was trying to find Gray with a reverse pass also but luckily it caught the shin of the defender and flew in the goal. Shameful behaviour by Burnley FC holding a fire drill near the end of the game, trying to get the game abandoned imho.

    Hopefully our luck will hold out against the league one opposition we face next week. Also we are six points above Arsenal, if we keep this up we will avoid relegation but only just.

    Sorry, I've just got in from a day out with no phone access, and I'm hearing some rubbish about us scoring 3 away goals. At Burnley. Surely not?
