Clarets boss lays down the law

The Clarets' first season in the Premier League looks increasingly likely to end in relegation following an embarrassing 6-1 thrashing by Manchester City at the weekend. They now have just five games remaining to save their top-flight status but, with a trip to fellow strugglers Hull next week, Laws is not giving up. Laws said: "It's about getting that fighting spirit back in us. I want to see some tackles flying in for goodness sake. "I wish I had put my boots on (on Saturday) because I would have been kicking a few backsides, that's for sure!"
