Championship play-off final

Venue: Wembley Stadium Date: Monday, 25 May Kick-off: 1500 BST

Burnley boss Owen Coyle believes his players have every reason to drive for success against Sheffield United in Monday's Championship play-off final.

The Clarets are looking for a triumphant return to the top flight for the first time in 33 years.

"We have got an opportunity to go into the Premier League, and play in the best league in the world, with the best players in the world," Coyle said.

"If that doesn't motivate the players I don't know what will."

Burnley will be at full strength at Wembley for their 61st and final game of the season, with their players having spent a few days preparing in Portugal.

The success at Turf Moor this season is all the more remarkable considering it has been built on a shoestring budget and with one of the smallest squads in the Championship.

Coyle, who arrived in November 2007 from St Johnstone, has used only 23 players throughout the whole campaign.

"We have shown that you can build a team and put a side out without having the finances that some of the bigger clubs have," he added.

"I need the players to go and give the same performances that they have done for the rest of the season."

I wish them luck

Totally couldn't give a fuck who comes up

 

[doctor_mac]

Come on Burnley!!

 

[gkmacca]

Burnley have got the fans the 'Toon' dream they have. A proper football town, a proper football club.

 

[HC]

I'll be behind the blades for this one.

 

[Judge Jules]

I bloody won't, after their bleating about West Ham.

 

[the count]

Yep. Burnley for me. I quite like what I have seen of Owen Coyle as a manger and conversely, Sheffield Utd still bear the stain of Neil feckin Warnock

 

[Spionkop69]

If pushed, I'd go for Burnley.

Can't be bothered to watch it.

 

[doctor_mac]

Where's Pesam? He's been to Burnley fairly regularly this season.

Great wee club, excellent up and coming manager, who I used to watch regularly when he was Airdrie Utd's striker (I lived near Airdrie- best pies in any ground I've ever been to).

Well Burnley got to the League Cup semi's and got quite far in the FA Cup only to be put out by Arsenal.

Looks like Burnley are going up. 5 mins left and Jamie Ward sent off (handball).

 

[rebel23]

Burnley have done it!

another dane for KHL to post about: The beast (Jansen) was superb once again

 

[SaintGeorge67]

Good for them. Hope they fuck over Blackburn nest year.

 

[Frogfish]

Great stuff, another NW team in the PL.

Same could have been said about Hull this time last year though.

 

[gkmacca]

Well done to them. Typical Sky though - 'the first time they've been in the Premier League'! Yes, idiots, the first time they've been back in the top league since it was rebranded. Talk about revisionism.

Indeed. Before Abramovich came about they were more successful than Chelsea.

Great fan base, I'd much prefer them over Sheff Utd. The blades fans are complete arseholes & cause trouble wherever they go.

 

[Hansern]

Credit to Owen Coyle, he's done a fantastic job. Limited budget and only used 23 players all season.

That Naughton lad that plays for Utd looked very good.

I read on another site that we were scouting him, that is if it is the same Kyle Naughton.
It didnt seem to be the most reliable of sources though and even if he was scouted he is probably just one of many for his position alone.
