    Fairly confident for tonight. Burnley are very good defensively and Trafford is having a great season but attacking wise they are well below par. I would be disappointed if we conceded more than once and I think our attacking play can cause them problems.

    I only watch him for his asynchronous movement of his eye brows <laugh>
    Do you reckon his parents named him after thunderbirds - he does remind me of Scott Tracy

    I laughed more than I should have at this <laugh><laugh><applause>

    He doesnt always come across well in the media. I do believe he is a very good coach though. The defensive record is remarkable really. Something tells me he has matured a bit as a coach since his Fulham experience. Still think Regis will outsmart him tonight though <cheers>

    I do feel like we are due to smash someone. Its not happened often this season and maybe hoping it will be Burnley will be a step too far but maybe their defensive solidity will collapse if you manage to put 1 or 2 past them early on. Its not like they've had to experience that this season. Most likely wishful thinking and a 0-0 draw. Should be a great game though.

    With the 21's away tonight their team news at 6 could be interesting, then the big team news at 7.

    Far to excited for tonight

    Land in Burnley in ten. Meeting two work colleagues who are massive clarets and sat by them so we need not to lose. I’ve got a blue hat to get in and a red and white one in pocket for after. Massive game.

    Talking of Amad, I know how good he was for us but didn’t expect him to be Man Utd’s best player in this short a time.

    Trey be on the bench given he's not in the 21's squad.

    Look forward to watching the first half and seeing the line up for the first team.

    How great would it be if he showed up tonight ...

    ... the way this club is feeling I wouldn't be shocked.

    Well I’ve had a large Vodka and listening to Bowie’s Heroes so I’ve had £2 on 0-4 tonight!

    Let’s blow a hole in their defensive record.
