[Herp McDerp 2,661]

I'm praying we scrape a point here.

[Grinch 2,911]

Need to start beating shite like this or we won't be in the top four. 

[Babb'sBurstNad 9,230]

A real six pointer.

[an tha 6,112]

They'll sit deep and watch us pass it slowly in front of them and create fuck all and then probably get Barnes or someone in for best chance of game....

 

0-0.

[Jordy Brouwer 442]

Oh great. Team Huff and Puff vs Burnley in the Thunderdome. I'm tingling with excitement. 

[VERBAL DIARRHEA 8,026]

Play Salah down the middle and Shaqiri on the right. Free Henderson up and play one of the two grocks. And shoot occasionally.

[TheDrowningMan 427]

0-0 is the most likely result, although I’d say Burnley are slightly more likely to win if anyone is going to. One chance might be enough for them to win, whereas it’s at least 25 for us.

[The Golden Eel 3,945]

Fuck sake, really.... Didn't know there was a match during the week. Gutted 

[Bjornebye 25,788]

Bum them into the dirt 

[Trumo 14,194]

The 1-1 draw in this fixture last season stopped us from completing the season with a 100% home record. We took the lead through a powerful header from Robbo, but we weren't clinical enough in the final third. We conceded an equaliser from a set piece which should have been ruled out for offside. Andre Marriner was the ref and he seemed intent on letting Burnley be as physical and time-wasty as they liked.

 

The first time we played this lot in the PL was at Anfield in September 2009. Owen Coyle was their manager and they'd just been promoted and had actually beaten Man Utd in the league too. We were comfortable though, winning 4-0 thanks to a Yossi hat-trick and a goal from Dirk. It was to be a poor season with the team at its erratic and inconsistnt worst in the post-Xabi era. Things were worse off the pitch with the shit cunt owners digging their heals in and the club haemhorraging millions of pounds in interest payments on the loan used as leverage on the club. It was the season we ended up with Martin Broughton as chairman, looking for a buyer urgently. As much as we don't like a lot of what we are seeing at the moment, just imagine how much worse it was then.

 

The goals are from 2:35 onwards:

 

 

 

Jay-Z topped the charts on that same day with 'Run This Town' along with his mates Kanye West and Rihanna. They've all done much better stuff than this.

 

 

 

 

Last season we really did 'run this town', if you say 'this town' was the PL. A lot has gone awry since then, and we badly need to get back on track. We are averaging less than 2 points per game at the moment, and obviously way down on last season's near-perfection at this stage. We practically know what Burnley are going to do, but we must find a way to be less predictable ourselves. The lack of centre backs is one thing, but the attack looking nothing like the unit of the past 3 seasons is hampering us badly because we are not looking creative, incisive or clinical at all. That has to be fixed as soon as possible.

 

 

[AngryofTuebrook 18,354]

Let's do some goals. Goals are good.

 

Just get these beat, Reds.

[ZonkoVille77 5,561]

I'm hoping for a shot on target.

 

We're fuckin shite. 

[diamondjoe 328]

Not anuva one!

[El Rojo 8,834]

Can’t wait for this. The big one. 

[sir roger 6,058]

I'd use Phillips for this one if Matip is not available as he is ideal for teams with two grocks with no pace.

[RedKnight 5,667]

[Red_or_Dead 1,029]

I think the time has come: stig needs to get off starting the match threads.

[Mark M 1,527]

Some shots on target that their keeper has to save would be good

I thought this when I saw the thread. 

 

The front on the cunt. 

[cloggypop 11,108]

Stig out

[KevieG 372]

Shaq should start again as he might take a shot

[Ronnie Whelan 861]

Says a lot of our modern fanbase that people are calling for Stig's head. 

 

Shameful.
