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

[deafmanstevo]

Piss take that the champions are not scheduled to play at home first game of the season, manufactured bullshit,
Premier League are utter arseholes...

Don't mind first game away, cos prefer a last day home game incase something is riding on it, but in any case as others have said City requested an away first game.

Mixed feelings playing a newly promoted side on md1. It's tough to see us losing but they'll be well up for it and playing with 100% house money.

2-1 City. Haaland and Foden.

Did you miss the bit where you questioned my mentality for daring to suggest that not winning the first game of a 38 game season would not be the end of the world?

FIGHT!!!

 

[Father Paul]

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

On a good day its 11 vs 11

 

[GSW Blue]

FIGHT!!!

No need for that pal. We’ve all had a drink, the sun is shining and City kick off in 6 hours :)

 

[birchwoodgingerste]

Ederson
Walker
Stones
Gvardiol
Ake
Rodri
De bruyne
Foden
Grealish
Bernardo
Haaland

Is the team

I heard somewhere that Burnley have been back very early on the training ground while City seem undercooked. This early in the season can be a bit of a problem. Hopefully it will go to form and we can come away with the 3 points.

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!

We should easily have them 40 points by Easter with this squad

 

[Sid C]

Lets 'ave it blueboys

Cant shake the feeling that we will start slow this season

We usually do and look were that’s got us.

 

[Eccles Blue]

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

*box of tissues at the ready* weeping copiously…… the agony, the agony. ;-) :-(







It’s ok Matron’s on her way with my tablets. :-) -:)

 

[Gray]

On a good day its 11 vs 11

It starts 15 v 11, and we are always the lower figure.

 

[Impeccable One]

I want a post to post title, at the top from first game to last !

 

[Dobsy]

Given how long last season was it feels like this one is starting too soon.

Haaland Hat trick to shush the doubters.

City being the first fixture is a piss take as well, given our season ended after everyone else. We should have been the Monday night game.

Gives us more chance to prepare for the Super Cup on Wednesday though to be fair.

 

[ballbag]

Hopeful we can knock Bournemouth off top spot tonight.




But not taking anything for granted with it being the first game of the season and they'll be well up for this at theirs.
