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

[birchvillablue]

If you read some of the earlier posts you would have seen that apparently we ask(ed) for away games for our first game of the season to give our pitch time to recover from the summer concerts. :-)

City are arseholes then :-)

I make no comment. :-)

Hard first game back. Burnley will be well up for it and city are not quite at the races yet.

Going for a 1-2 tight game.

 

[Tecumseh]

Where is the best place to park in Burnley?

Clitheroe ;-)

 

[BringBackSwales]

No. What the fuck kind of mentality is this? The league is going to be more competitive than ever this season and whilst a win here isn't imperative, a good start will do us wonders.

We've no excuses for not beating Burnley.

It’s that sort of entitled shit that fortunately isn’t part of our manager or team’s psychology. Every game is tough, Burnley have an outstanding manager, first game back in the Prem and at home. Of course we COULD lose. Fucking hell

 

[BringBackSwales]

Is there any update on the rumours that Ruben and John Boy might be missing tonight?

 

[Cricket Blue]

Will be get a guard of honour?

What for?

 

[Cricket Blue]

What for?

the treble?
It's the sort of thing vinny will do out of respect

They won their league. Maybe we should line both teams up and they give each other a guard of honour by shaking hands as one team walks past the other.

Should finishing 21st in the English pyramid constitute a trophy though?

Not really, but should winning something last season constitute a guard of honour this season? It's never been done before so why would it start now?

Probably not and don’t get me started on 3rd Division Play off winners getting one :)

It'd be a nice touch to have both League trophies being brought our by the captains for the handshake.

Absolutely this one! We can lose any game it’s 11 vs 11

 

[5 Hit Gibbon]

Get the fuck in. We are playing a proper game again in a few hours!

 

[kaz7]

Lets 'ave it blueboys

Cant shake the feeling that we will start slow this season

Would never work. For one thing, we would have to fight to get the cup of coffee out of Bernardo's hand.

 

[Haaland94]

0-3
Gvardiol, 2x Haaland

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

I've put win, but sooner or later, as I often thought season after season with the Rags we'd do 'em, so Burnley fans must be thinking pretty much the same thing. Perhaps it won't be another 5-0 or 0-5. But if we win we will only need another 37pts to breathe again; lose and it'll be the full fuckin' forty!
