Burnley (H) - Sat 16 Oct 15:00 | Pre-Match Thread

[Tricky_Trev]

Mahrez is definitely scoring today. Burnley know that, we know that. It’s a formality.

Daughter just rang me and said can she and 3 of her work mates to go today. 38 minutes on the phone to city. Got to fuckabout printing at home and just cost me £200 for 4 tickets for 4 junior nurses together pretty much on the back row of the south stand 3rd tier. Mmmm - can see why it might not be full.

Nurses you say?

I'd normally ask you to pass on my number in case there's room for one or two halfway down next to me but, I'm taking the curse (Mrs Moon) with me today as our lads stuck with work. So that wouldn't be a good idea ;)

 

[Stoned Rose]

Love Saturday mornings, my favourite time of the week. And when it’s matchday too, marvellous.
Have a great day all :-)

oh, and a sprout tune

You've been on here 357 years so should know the rules big lad.......

Did you know the Burnley club motto is Endeavour Without Pleasure?

Should be Cunts With 7 Fingers.

We usually destroy Burnley at the Etihad. How many 5-0s have there been? We were in cracking form vs Chelsea and Liverpool and even vs PSG, tho that result went against us. So, all is set for a 0-0, with the bus parked, a myriad of missed chances and frustration all round. No? Score early and we're laughing. No pressure, relax, play City ball.
Torres will be a big miss, not just for this game but for some time. I had hoped that he would push on now.
Good luck to the boys.
3-0.

Is it really? Sounds like sex to me.

 

[hihosilva]

Very difficult to predict the line up but i recon Pep could go for this
Steffen
Walker Dias Laporte Zinchenko
Bernardo Fernandinho Debruyne
Mahrez Sterling Grealish

 

[Kendog7868]

don't know if it helps but I park up at Droylsden and get the tram in. or the free park and ride at Ashton

I've done the tram job mate but wrong side for me ... drive in through Harpurhey so was looking for something off Oldham Road or monton Road

 

[Eccles Blue]

I have never been so not looking forward to going to the match as I am today!! Just feel like staying at home.

Will someone please tell me to buck my ideas up and get back on the yahoo it's match day train!!??

Sums up their feeling of trying to wank with seven fingers and short cocks

 

[Nihilist]

Steffen
Walker Dias Laporte Zinchenko
Bernardo Fernandinho Debruyne
Mahrez Sterling Grealish

why no Foden ? he's our best shot at scoring goals atm

Taking the missus to her second ever game today and she's excited, I am not one for wearing replica shirts but she's already decided what I am wearing for today even though she knows what I wear for matches.

I'm excited for her but she's going to have me decked out like coco the bloody clown.

Up the blues and all that jazz ;)

 

[Nihilist]

Important game to start up things properly for the run of games we have ahead. A convincing win would help a lot being the first match after the international break.
Hope to see Foden, hope to see Grealish as he was in a good playing mood vs Hungary but that dimwit Southgate subbed him.

 

[M Gaudino]

I dont want to see any ‘resting’ of Foden today, he’s on fire get him in the team.

Mahrez also deserves a chance and brings a higher liklihood of goals.

Might be one to rest de bruyne and rodri, albeit they’ve both had a week off

steffen
walker diaz laporte Cancelo
Ferna Gundog
Mahrez Silva Foden Grealish

 

[worsleyweb]

I am a soft ****! Given my table to a Burnley mate and his family today. Mate has another season ticket and just sorted the daughter and her kids tickets out. Hours of fucking about and I have ended up on the second back row of the south stand 3rd tier. Never been up there. What’s the lamb served like?

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

I hope I’m wrong but I think it will be tight today. Without Ederson, Torres and Jesus, we might struggle to create chances against a ten man defence, like against Southampton. If I interpreted Pep correctly, I think he is challenging Sterling to show him he is worth a place in the side, so hopefully he will pick him and get a reaction. Good to see Gundogan and Zinchenko fit again

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Now we have a good idea who is available , i think a tweak of formation

STEFFEN
STONES DIAS LAPORTE
CANCELO GUNDO RODRI ZINCHENKO
MAHREZ FODEN GREALISH

KDB on the bench he isnt 100% fit and has played a lot of football probably at only 75% fitness , same with Walker played a lot of games along with Bernardo , as usual Pep's team and formation will be totally different . my thinking is play three big lads at the back because Burnley will just launch it forward and bank on set pieces.

 

[chesterbells]

When is Delap back from his injury? Any chance he makes the bench today?

 

[Bluemoonadam]

3-1 win to us
