Burnley (a) pre-match thread

[bluefish]

3 great bits of news today... no Fern ban, Merlin OK and Martin Atkinson as ref for this one. By far the best ref for me and would have shown 2 reds last night to Albion thugs. Happy happy day :-)

Is this info from the OS or media outlets?

Another team that will be instructed by their dinosaur of a manager to kick the shit out of us

He manages unfashionable sides, and lacks pzazz, but does brilliantly with meagre resources. He doesn’t strike me as either thuggish or snide.

 

[The Black Shed]

0-2 City

What’s their injury situation? Not that I trust any of the lying bastards.

Loads according to physio room.
Worse than us so no excuses on that front.

@maig
WTF, predicting a loss?
Whatever happened to 1-1?

 

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

Hate these early kick offs! Very rarely are they good games. It’s like players and fans aren’t as up for it. I’d take a 1 nil win now. Just need to get past this one.

 

[The Lightbowne Cowboy]

I'd rather lose to Burnley than Chelsea or Arsenal.

Ditto. But in truth, I dont ever want to lose to anybody, especially our main rivals.

 

[SuperKevinHorlock]

Predicted my usual loss(it’s worked well so far this season)

 

[BerkshireBlue]

Why would you say that ??? You don't mind City throwing a game against our rivals ?? Think you need to go n have a lie down pal.

Arsenal a rival??? Chelsea a lose definition of a rival. I'd rather win trophies than have bragging rights for a couple if days

Full week off before Leicester after this one so expect our strongest team possible.

Ederson, Walker, Otamendi, Laporte, Zinchenko, Fernandinho, De Bruyne, Gundogan, Bernardo, Sterling, Aguero

Bench: Bravo, Danilo, Stones, Kompany, Toure, Brahim, Nmecha

Gonna go for 1-3 City victory.
