Coyle happy with underdog tag

Sun 14 Jun, 09:28 AM


Burnley manager Owen Coyle has told Clarets fans his side will thrive on being the underdogs in the Premier League next season.

Coyle's newly-promoted side stunned Fulham, Chelsea, Arsenal and West Brom in the cup competitions last season on the way to securing a return to the top flight via the play-offs for the first time in 33 years.

Coyle told the Lancashire Telegraph: "When it comes about there's no doubt it's going to be difficult, but it's a challenge we'll relish.

"But I think we showed over the season that we love being the underdogs.

"Every game we enter next season, we'll be the underdog for it, home and away."

  1. These reporters always seem to miss adding Spurs to the­ list of premiership scalps last season, because we lost­ over two legs they forget we beat Spurs 3-0 in 90 mins­ and 3-2 after extra time. Glad mowbrays gone to celtic­ though
