My mum grew up in a town between Blackburn and Burnley ... loads of locals would go to whoever was at home ... then Accrington Stanley hit financial trouble and asked their neighbours for help ... Burnley said yes but Blackburn refused and Stanley were down and out ... that saw the end of the home alternating and was the catalyst for the hatred that endures today between Burnley and Rovers fans ...

Yeah that used to happen back in the 50"a down here when it wasn't so easy to travel up the country when either club was up north. The rivalry only really developed the following decade.

Yeah it was weird hearing those old stories, because when I first started going the rivalry between Arsenal and Spurs fans was intense, probably more so than it is today. So the idea of rocking up at White Hart Lane as easily as you would at Highbury just seemed alien to me. But thinking about it from those old boys' perspectives, back in the 40's and 50's it makes sense, you'd just go and watch some footie, whichever was available on the day.

I'll probably watch Palace, quite enjoy watching them, not that it will appeal to many on here i doubt. Most will probably go for the Saints v Spurs match.

Tempted by Soton as they’re just the kind of side to upset what looks like a completely different Spurs under Conte.

Not sure Norwich will give the Eagles a decent game tbh - cue a 5-4 classic ffs.

Going for Watford v West Ham purely based upon the Hornets league position. It's 18 days since their last game and only 48 hours for the Hammers so difficult to call as well.

Unfortunately, I can see Watford getting something today, Wham not firing on all cylinders atm
