This was one of our early fixtures last season, and we came away with a comprehensive 3-0 victory. Trent got the opener with a cross from deep that took a nick off a Burnley player and looped over the goalkeeper and into the far corner. The goal has since been credited to Chris Wood as an own goal, but there was less in that than rat-faced Manc Fernandes for them the other day. He gets goals given to him as well as penalties where he was the one doing the fouling. Cunt. Anyway, Sadio doubled our advantage against Burnley when they lost possession inside their own half. Bobby rolled a nicely weighted pass into Sadio in the inside left channel and the Senegalese rolled the ball into the far corner. After that, we kept Burnley at arms length and completely controlled the match. Bobby got the third after hammering a low shot past the goalkeeper from the edge of the area. As is always the case with us, we could have got more if our finishing was more ruthless and precise. The first time we played at Turf Moor in the PL was in April 2010. We were trying to get into the top 4 after a trying season in which the loss of our midfield fulcrum Alonso to Real Madrid was compounded by his replacement spending more time in the treatment room than on the pitch. Aquilani actually got 3 assists in this match, as Stevie scored twice, Maxi opened his goalscoring account, and Babel rounded off the scoring. Burnley would be relegated at the end of the season, and they were probably the onw side we had little trouble with, winning both games 4-0. The goals are at 18:20. Usher (not that one!) was number one in the charts with 'OMG', which was a collaboration with will.i.am. It's a dance track heavy on the old autotune, but I don't think it's bad at all. The bass drop sounds good in a club. It's certainly much better than the shit than preceded it, like Scouting For Girls, or the shit that soon followed, like Diana Vickers. I'm assuming she's shit because hovering over the Wiki link tells me she was an X-Factor contestant. The Simon Cowell production line had long been polluting the airwaves with karaoke wankers who'd been told they sound good. Incidentally, I've just noticed that 'OMG' sounds very similar to Baby D's 'Let Me Be Your Fantasy'. We go into this Burnley game chasing down the same target as back in April 2010. We have a few more permutations in our favour this time, but we have to make them count. We also have to get Burnley back for ruining our home record back in January. They got a penalty for something we got turned down for at the other end. No matter which PGMOL slapdick is in charge of this one, with just need to be ruthless, precise and clinical, just like Leeds were at the weekend. No 'OMG' moment like Ali provided at The Hawthorns. Just get in there, grab the 3 points and get out. Make it so!
