Match Day Thread Burnley FC v Sunderland AFC - Saturday 23rd August 2025 - KO 15:00

You're right, but they’re just not very good and favourites to go down …

… as you say, this will be a disappointment if we fail to win.

 

Interesting seeing the predictions for relegation from fans on socials and we are appearing less and less.

Means nowt, but it’s pleasant to see.

Burnley firmly bottom in everyone’s eyes.

 

Hope those predictions gain some traction at 5 pm on Saturday. Bit early after one match,but,after two!

 

Stream on iPhone with in ear Bluetooth…. Hope we don’t score at the “if anyone here present has any reason why these two should not be married”… can you imagine “YEEEAAAHHHH!!”

 

Say something at the if you kna why these 2 should not be joined together in holy matrimony speak now or forever hold your tongue

say aye the lads kick off in a hour jobs a good un lol

 

As do Diarra, Xhaka and Sadiki!!

 

and Marcus was never invited to another event again

 

Aye, my point was a lad expected to be on bench walks in.

 

Enjoy these videos

Wonder if the American is Shad Forsythe, was a rumour he was coming in as a performance coach focusing on the fitness side. Been at Arsenal, Germany and Dortmund

 

Completely agree Smug. In my opinion, this is one of the target games where we expect to pick up points, it might not happen but we should target teams that we expect to be in and around us. There will be plenty games where we need to park the bus and anything we get from those games will be a bonus.
Faint heart never won fair maiden, lets have a bit of belief in ourselves. I am sure the quality of players we have brought in, they will go into this game confident of a win.
We probably need to finish on 38 points to be safe so 35 more to go

 

I will never temper my expectations. I expect us to batter Burnley. 4-0. Mayenda and Talbi on the scoresheet. I just think their midfield will get ran over.

 

Yeah my head told me that after I posted!! My bad

 

That’s the spirit lad!

 

Makes a lot of sense IMO, about Sunderland and indeed Brentford. Who is he?

 

Peterborough chairman isn’t he?

 

Who is saying that? Video blocked down under.

 

"Don't be too loyal to the players who got you up" ... sign three big lads at at the back."

That was his entire philosophy and do you know ...

... he's not far wrong

 

Another cracking thread @RTB

Opted for alderete over seelt personally, but not complaints of Seelt is ready to go and plays again. Heading down tomorrow for this. Haway the lads

 

Probably take a point if it was offered now TBH. We can absolutely go there and win though.

 

I'm going even bolder actually. 9 points from the first 3 games and a manager of the month award for RLB is my firm prediction and belief.

Followed by a loss to Palace
