Dunno whether you watch Burnley this season mate but they are indeed playing very well. We cannot cobble together a B team because they play a neat passing game and have scored plenty off the wings.

Kompany has instilled a winning never say die mentality and they've scored several goals in the dying in seconds to win or draw.

They have several players of PL quality. Muric looks a good keeper, Taylor Harwood-Bellis looked composed and commanding until he got injured. Maatsen, Benson, Tella, Zaroury and Obafemi are good players we must keep an eye on if they play.

I'm looking forward to what should be an entertaining game which we should win but Burnley will be up for it so we cannot take beating them for granted.

Seen them a few times. Given the mess that Vinny inherited he had done a brilliant job, winning games, playing well, fighting to the end - lost a load of players and spent fuck all. I want him as our next manager, I’ve lived in Burnley and he’s too good for the inbred cunts

Probably trickier than last night, I think we will win but I expect Pep to rest players. I know there is an international break but it is important to manage game time in his control.

Do you want to lose ?

It will be very interesting to see his approach and strategy.

Will he go cautious and play defensively,or,as i suspect,go toe to toe and continue his philosophy to play football?

Great fixture,potentially........and while i obviously hope he goes home disappointed....i also hope he will be proud and contented at what he and his lads bring.

Burnley play tonight,will he go full strength?

Burnley have sold out their allocation. They're bringing 8000 to this. As a bloc, they'll make a lot of noise.
We need to take this very seriously indeed. The F.A. Cup is there for the taking. I also want the rags to go through, so we can put them back in their box after the outrage of the second derby.
