Burnley (A) - Fri 11th Aug | Pre-Match Thread

As an aside, is this the sixth year in a row that our first game has been away? Hmmm….

Can't really complain when most of the time it's at our request in order to give the extra preparation week for the pitch after summer concerts.

Whilst Rags & Arsenal get an easy H start

It’s actually seven years in a row now
Last time we had a home start was Sunderland in Pep’s very first season
Some coincidence that. What are the chances?…

Tbf, I think we often request an away fixture first to give the pitch more time to recover after summer concerts at The Etihad.

Edit: sorry, only just seen the post above stating the same thing.

That really is bizarre, didn’t realise that. Absolute joke tbh.

 

[Father Paul]

Sadly part of it is true as Knight is injured.

Yes and lets hope he recovers quickly

Last season the last game which thankfully did not matter was also away.

we ask for our first game to be away. because of the concerts in june ( so want time to get pitch ready ect)

 

[mexico1970]

Really looking forward to this match now, give Vincent a good welcome back to the premiership ;)

 

[Heath Park]

I've just heard Santa Cruz is out injured again.
Don't shoot the messenger...

Fair enough, not sure that applies every year though

Or done us any harm over the season.

 

[frothy]

Don't know if it's already been posted, but Road works on the way to the ground causing delays

Half a day in work tomoz home shit shower shave an ill be in cricket club next to away end sinkin them back for 3 oclock in the sunshine cant fackin wait blue army

 

[Kamaro011]

So is kovacic injured or not?

His funeral will be held tomorrow.

 

[Damanino]

Cannot wait for this game, I want us to win by 3-4 goals and then sit back watch rivals hopefully drop some points. few red cards on Chelsea-Pool game will be great.

we ripped them apart in the FA cup last year.

 

[Tony - MCFC]

Think this will be really tough, newly promoted side fired up, few players making their debut against the treble champions.

I think we’ll win narrowly, but will be very tricky.

Translation for the trolls; I’ve predicted a narrow win. If we drop points it’s not my fault, it is just a speculation on my part. Thanks.

Due to unforeseen circumstances I will be starting out on a four hour car journey one hour before kick off. Will I be able to listen to the match on ant radio stations?

I'd imagine it may be on BBC Radio 5 live, with it being the only game on tomorrow evening. You may be able to listen to it online, dependant on the data coverage where you're driving.
