June is without doubt the quietest month in the year for domestic football. We either turn our attentions to a World Cup or a European Championship or we just wait for any news coming out of Turf Moor.
May brought with it the end of the 2006/07 season with a final game against Coventry City, but it was very much a busy month at Turf Moor as the club celebrated its 125th anniversary.
December, January, February, March - as the monthly reviews were written there wasn't a single victory to boast about. Then suddenly it was like the X43 bus service, after waiting for an age one came, then another and then another.
We were disappointed not to have won a game in December, concerned when we didn't win one in January and worried when February too didn't bring a solitary victory, and another month has almost seen panic set in.
February came as the window closed and what we all thought had been a disappointing last day of transfer dealing as we hoped there might just be another new player.
The New Year arrived and again the Burnley fans waited for the news that players would be sold, and once again they were as both Micah Hyde and Gifton Noel-Williams left Turf Moor, but this time it was a January with a difference.
We all knew November would be difficult but the month didn't look too bad at all when we ended it with a comfortable win against relegation threatened Leeds just two days before the end of the month.
October had been a hell of a month for the Clarets, it came to an end with a 2-0 win at Luton but we were now preparing for what had always been the toughest month of all on the fixture list.
I think it is fair to say that it has been a cracking month to be a Claret, we were unbeaten, we got two more away wins and ended the month in third place in the league table.
I would think September 2006 will be a month that striker Gifton Noel-Williams will be able to look back on with a great deal of satisfaction, a month that saw life at Burnley take something of an upturn.
Back home from Italy and into August and we were all ready for the new season and a first game against Queens Park Rangers – starting the season at home for the fourth time in five years.
It's been a while since Luton last suffered defeat at the Turf, just over eleven years to be precise when we won a vital game as we were fighting against relegation.
Our away travelling for the season comes to an end tomorrow when we visit Millwall, and it is a ground where it is fair to say neither side of had the upper hand.
Burnley went eighteen years without playing Crystal Palace, after our relegation at Selhurst Park in 1983 we didn't meet again until after our promotion in 2000.
I've stood in sub-zero temperatures at Hull as we fell to defeat, suffered a similar result in soaring summer heat and been drenched when we last won there, but nothing can erase the memory of our last visit.
Queens Park Rangers have never been regular visitors to the Turf. Our first league meeting was less than forty years ago and tomorrow will be just the eleventh between us at home.
Sheffield Wednesday v Burnley is back on the fixture list following their play off win last season and we look back at some of our past games at Hillsborough.
Usually, ahead of each game, we look back at the same fixture over recent seasons. That's not quite so easy when Southampton are the visitors given that last time they played at the Turf was in February 1978.
After two weeks on the road, the clarets are back in action at Turf Moor this Friday evening, when they play host to Nigel Worthington's Norwich City side, in front of the SKY cameras.
When the Clarets first played a league game at Stoke's Britannia Stadium it had been over thirty years since we had last won an away league game against them.
Trips to the old Baseball Ground were never eagerly awaited when Derby and Burnley met in league action and it always seemed to be something of a tale of woe.
Apart from one season back in the early 1930s, when we won the home game 8-1, league games against Reading didn't get underway until the 1980s and in that time we haven't faired too well at home.
When I watched the Clarets beat Wolves 1-0 with a John Connelly goal in November 1963 I could hardly have envisaged that I would have to wait over 39 years to see another home league win against them.
A Frank Casper goal was enough for the Clarets to collect both points at Portman Road against Ipswich just over 36 years ago, a win that saw us go one place above the Suffolk club in the First Division.
