Burnley (H) | Pre-Match Thread

1-0 will do

Dangerous thought.

I will take a 2-0 comfortable win.

I agree.

Happy to take the points.

I’d like this to be the lineup with Foden and Aguero coming on for 30 minutes.

At least they can't now claim their first win bonus of the season against us.

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

I know some people will complain whoever the ref is, but Mason really is one of my least favourite officials.

I don’t complain, just try to find any redeeming features. Alas, although I cannot stand his officiating, I can only say that he is our go to man when we need a win. 7 out of 7 last season, the ****!

I didn't realise the fixture congestion was that bad . 2 matches on the one day

Mahrez starts em both and Phil on the bench, for both

Burnley in the afternoon and then a quick zip over to Greece for a Champions League game - makes sense.

And they complain that they’re playing too many games FFS

A thread before we play tomorrow ?

Sorry kaz, I started a Ref Appointment thread (to be renamed to Pre-Match obviously after the game tomorrow night) so we can continue discussing Burnley in the same thread on ... but some (mod probably) keeps renaming it to Pre-Match already ... (probably the same one who tells me off and locks em up if I name them Pre-Match :p)

This ref is an idiot, he seriously hasn't got a clue

Oh, he HAS, he has.
He knows EXACTLY what he's doing when he "referees" us.
Burnley and Southampton have been mentioned, but the one that stands out for me (amongst many) was the cup tie at Cardiff,when he allowed them to kick the shit out of us with hardly any sanction, apart from the odd booking. The foul on Sane was a definite red card when he was clean through, but a yellow card only was given.
Apparently, he hates City as well.
