Yesterday I wrote about Xerez, the 'colista' in the
Spanish La Liga and how, despite a huge gap between their budget and those of the super rich teams, I have come to root for them.
They are actually my second team as I have been following Burnley since the summer of 2009. They were promoted from the First Division to the Premiership and have played well, defeating the likes of Manchester United and Everton. Although, they have stumbled as of late and are venturing dangerously close to the relegation zone, they display strong grit and a never-say-die attitude. They very nearly drew with the mega-powerful frontrunners Chelsea, falling in the end to a late John Terry header, but they fought hard and with each match convince me they deserve to be in the Premier League. In the photo, we see Burnley's David Nugent wreaking havoc on Tim Howard and the Everton defense.
