WE started this week with a trip to Newcastle which, while being a very important away point to add to this incredible run we are on, was not filled with talking points or thrill-a-minute football.

Just one shot on target for the Clarets probably tells us all we need to know.

The week ended with what can only be described as an opportunity of a lifetime – I sat down with Ian Wright to talk about his time at Burnley, what Stan's 'Friday Court' was really like and how he navigated the Gawthorpe mud.

He was, as expected, both engaging and articulate and the hour that followed was a wonderful trip down memory lane.

February 14 marked, of course, the 20 year anniversary of that famous signing and the Clarets' promotion to the Championship.

We haven’t ever really looked back from that season either and it is fair to say that we took the opportunity that was afforded to us.

The interview has been made into a podcast, which you can download from most podcast providers, or access at the website – www.nonaynever.net.

Do check it out if you get chance; he is well worth the listen.

We have talked a lot this season about how irritated opposition fans get when the Clarets take points off them.

And the Ian Wright piece reinforced my view that we are team that just seems to get under people's skin – for the good and the bad.

It therefore feels timely that our next opponents are the special one and his struggling Spurs side. Oh aren't you just looking forward to Mourhino – the master of press deflection – and his press conference if we manage to beat them at the weekend?

He has (apparently) already warned his board that they must make a choice over which game he prioritises this week. A bold move for a new manager already under pressure.

I was half tempted to say that I hoped he chooses the Champions League tie, but I am not sure we need this Spurs side to underperform to get something from this game.

The Clarets are a long way away from the poor performance they put on at Christmas, where we fell to a painful 5-0 thrashing.

I have been suffering from a recurring nightmare ever since that game; I am chasing Son Heung-min as fast as I can, and I really just want to bring him down, but he keeps running and running and running and running….

We are organised, back to our defensive best, can score goals and are playing with self-belief again. I am convinced the points are ours. So, once again, let's raise the roof and cheer our boys onto victory.

After all … who needs Mourhino? We've got Sean Dychio!
