    Today Tom Huddlestone redeems himself for his two turgid displays in our last PL season against these, if we'd only beaten them once we'd have finished the season in 16th. We were dreadful against them both times.
    Different team, different manager, with only a few survivors from back then.

    We're well prepared, we need the win. They'd take a draw right now, and will set out to frustrate and time waste I have no doubt.

    Tom's got to run the show. Meyler and N'diaye have to wind Barton up and win the battle in midfield. Pace out wide, a strong centre forward, two pacy full backs and two strong cenner backs. What can go wrong?? A repeat of last seasons 3-0 will do me.



    The Jak

    Elmo Ranoccia Maguire Robertson

    N'diaye Huddlestone Meyler

    Markovic Niasse Growshitski

    Markovic and Niasse to score and Abel to come off the bench and get the third.

    Burnley were listed 2nd out of a list of 92 respective Football League clubs with the most rivals

    Burnley Miners’ Social Club sells more Benedictine than any other hostelry.

    Burnley are one of only three teams to have won all four divisional titles, along with Wolves and Preston.

    Burnley adopted their claret-and-blue strip in 1910, as a homage to Aston Villa.

    Burnley's 30-match unbeaten run in 1921 stood as the longest stretch without defeat in league history until Arsenal bettered it in 2003-04.

    Burnley have won every major competition in English football except the League Cup.

    Burnley has a singing ringing tree.

    The straight mile, in Burnley is considered one of the 7 wonders of the British water way system.

    Burnley are one of only three teams to have won all four divisional titles, The other two are:
    Wolves and Preston.

    Only Preston have occupied the same ground for longer than Burnley, who moved into Turf Moor in 1883.

    Burnley has the highest ratio of home attendances per head of population than any other club in Britain, the Clarets often get crowds in excess of 9,000 despite there being only 6,500 officially on the electoral role, the only town that comes close is Guildford were 97% of the population are Man Utd season ticket holders.

    The river Brun is the shortest river in Britain and runs through Burnley.

    Burnley are the only club to have been managed by an eight year old chimney sweep. - http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Burnley

    Burnley has the highest percentage of left-handed people in the country per capita followed closely by Chester-Le-Street in County Durham and Truro in Cornwall.

    Leeks cannot be grown in Burnley and the surrounding area due to a chemical imbalance in the local soil caused naturally by unusually high deposits of aluminium.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_Squad_(hooligan_firm)

    The Suicide Squad is a football hooligan firm linked to the English Premier League team, Burnley F.C.[1] The self-imposed title is derived from previous behaviour at away games where the single minded involvement in violence against overwhelming odds could be described as suicidal. The name became synonymous with the group during the early 1980s and many of the original members, now in their forties are well known to the police and have a string of convictions for violence.

    arf - hands up who's ****ting themselves

    Burnleys lowest official attendance for a professional match was 14 people back in 1892. It was the first time in Football League history that there were more people on the pitch than were spectating.

    Ok
    I'm a naturally pessimistic ****er when it cones to City
    But
    If(!!!) we beat Burnley tomorrow then I'll flip over into the optimistic camp

    But we won't

    They must have been a scary bunch in the early 1980's. Now they are into their 40's back then they would almost be teenagers.

    Don't want to see Elmo at right back, he just isn't.

    Just wonder whether Maloney will get the nod behind Naisse with Evandro being out.

    I like the idea of Maloney playing today, similar in style to Evandro.

    I'd be delighted with a scruffy, lucky 0-0 draw....it would be a great result for Burnley just now. Even if we lose, as long 3 of the 8 teams BELOW us lose, it won't cause too much damage.

    Will be a tough game this afternoon but I have this confidence with Marco that he has the tactical knowhow to get 3 points from different kinds of games. Fingers crossed for a win but those dire home performances against Burnley in the past are still in the back of the mind. Today has to be an opportunity to settle the score for those setbacks.
