Burnley (a) pre-match thread

[dsr-burnley]

If I may stick my oar in - first, Burnley do have six first XI players out injured - Heaton (goal) Ward (LB) Tarkowski (CB) Defour (CM) Brady (wing) Wood (CF). That's about £40m of talent missing, or more than half the cost of our total squad. But most of them were injured when we narrowly lost to Liverpool and Man Ure, so we can cope.

Second, our form's actually been quite good. No wins in nine? The three at home were Spurs (poor 0-3 performance), Liverpool (1-2, last minute winner) Man Ure (0-1, even game) and the five away league games had 4 draws including Man Ure. You were the only side to tub us, in the cup, and that was competitive for much of the game.

Third. why the obsession with Burnley being a dirty side? Has someone said it once upon a time many moons ago, and no-one dares contradict? The last time Burnley had more bookings in the league than Man City was 2012-13, pre-Dyche, and even in the seasons when we played 46 and you played 38 you still managed more bookings. We've had 7 sent off in 5 years, and one of those was for the goalkeeper picking up a back pass. Not a dirty side.

Dyche has become a bit of a wanker this season.

Who's the referee ?

Perhaps drop the entire 1st team and name a squad of Burnleys finest academy products - oh thought not! Another complete idiot of a manager making excuses for his teams poor performance

What Dyche has said today about what Pep said in 2009 about not spending £50m on a Player was on that Goldbridge wankers twitter. Someone posted a link to it on here.

The quote is nearly 10 years old £50m then was a huge amount.
Maybe Dyche follows Goldbridge on Twitter? Lol.

His twitter account is hilarious. The bellend made up another account as a women to big himself up, loser.

This.

Laporte & Otamendi tomorrow. In terms of possession and starting attacks Laporte for me is the best of all our CBs.

Hes played one game ffs and now hes our best C B. pmsl

Who's the referee ?

I saw Martin Atkinson on the FA site

 

[Vicmeldrew666]

Looked completely unphased and actually very comfortable dealing with Sandwell Towns best ... not on the face of it difficult as they totally failed to pick on the new guy -probably due to the fact they were totally unable to get the ball from the usual suspects...

Tough game we just need to match them physically and the win will come.

Pop back after the game re Burnley being dirty...as for bookings our players get booked first foul/for farting .....
