Well they’re coming thick and fast same team Shirley? Barring injuries. Not a happy hunting ground but I think we’ll do em 2-1.
Burnley were listed 2nd out of a list of 92 respective Football League clubs with the most rivals Prince Charles is a Burnley fan.

Bit of perspective needed; we've only won twice all season and those games were against the teams which occupy the bottom two places in the division. Our current goal tally away from home is a big fat zero. For goals we're relying on deflections, own goals and defensive errors. 'Tis easy to turn positives into negatives if you're that way inclined. 3-0 City and reclaim the top spot.
Proof from DMD that Burnley is a village, if there are only 6,500 on their electoral role (sic) I'm George Bingham.
Far too many on here getting giddy after the Norwich game. If it wasn't for their ****show of a defence, we wouldn't have had a shot on target all day. Not looking forward to this one. 2-0.
Hoping for the best, but lack of depth really showed yesterday. We were cruising, then we lost all control when Shota had to make changes. With only 3 days to rest, and Seri being out, I don't see City pulling through this one. Either a draw or 3-1 Burnley for me. When are Sinik and Longman coming back?
Head says Burnley win. Heart says City. Like others have said, we looked shaky when Shota switched to 5 at the back.
You've got to be in the right place to take the chances when they come and we've soarly missed someone with that knack for quite a few seasons now. Long may it continue.
