    Can’t wait for this one.

    Massive game and one we can really show what we’re all about.

    4 of us heading down in the car. Atmosphere was superb last time we went down here on a Friday night and I’m expecting more of the same!

    This is a serious post and I'm not exaggerating so please excuse me.

    The last time we went I had two of my sons and my brother, who doesn't go much and has no animosity to Burnley.

    We arrived early and sat on a table outside a pub not far from their ground.

    The locals, passing by, were like a parade of circus freaks and weirdos who'd bought their clothes from 'Help the Aged'.

    There can't be a dentist in the town because none, who grunted insults at us, had a full set of teeth.

    I'm planning to go but will spend the night at Hebden Bridge which is 10 miles, but light years, away.

    They’ve only conceded 4 in 12 home games but we’re capable of scoring a couple, I think

    They're also averaging two goal attempts per game <laugh>

    Their defensive record is unreal, but as you said we can score - we have the talent to hurt them

    Absolutely

    So glad we’ve got a little rest this week, I really hope he gives some senior lads the weekend off against Stoke

    Same here, no idea what team he will go with

    I'm not against Ballard starting, if he's fit he needs minutes to get his sharpness

    Up by Calton Hill, but will be central on Friday night. George St most likely, unless we head down to Leith

    Bookies have Burnley as big favourites. We’re almost 3/1. Value there

    Rose street will be your best shout for the game then, a few pubs there will have it on. Watched games in the amber rose before and that's pretty decent

    Don’t think he’s close to a return. No chance for this game anyway

    It’ll be great to have him back. Hopefully in the squad at Middlesbrough, early February
