The "do they mean us?" thread

Recommended Posts

The thing that amazes me is just how much certain pundits tend to get wrong when so much information is instantly accessible. Even a skim read of Wikipedia wouldn't hurt; certainly better than talking absolute chuff with no direction.

Agreed. Mind, it amazes me even more how much utter chuff come out of the mouths of some of our 'fans'. We may not have the scum value of a Man U or Stoke, but we have got some proper pond life.

For the benefit of Grewks: you're welcome to have any opinion you like-it's yours to treasure and hold, and no one can take it away. If you choose to share that opinion with those around you, they're entitled to explain why, in their opinion, your opinion is worth less than Dennis Wise's autobiography in our club shop. This will happen more often if you post the same tedious and inaccurate opinion multiple times in multiple threads.

Name that club? England, really? People still believe in that horse shit.

Are you really stupid enough to expect me to know which club will have a vacancy in 3 years time?

And did you purposefully ignore the ' if we continue to improve' part as well?

God, you don't do yourself any favors....

Leicester v Burnley

Will Burnley score a goal? Will Burnley win a game? I’m sorry, but I’ve definitely got to go for a home win here. Leicester play with a lot of power and a lot of pace and if they can go anywhere near the performance they showed against Man United, which is their benchmark now, they should win. Burnley needed to nick as many points as they could early on and it’s a shame both of their main strikers got injured. Look at how Liverpool are struggling without Sturridge and Suarez and that’s a big club – so Burnley are always going to struggle without their main forwards.

PAUL PREDICTS: 3-0

Let's hope he's right, even though he hardly ever is.

3) Dyche needs to give Burnley fans a crumb of comfort

Goalless draws with Manchester United, Crystal Palace and Sunderland at least suggested that whereas the goals had dried up for Burnley, the solidity of last season – when they had the best defensive record in the second tier – had been maintained, but that came crashing down last weekend when West Brom tore through the Clarets backline four times. It was comfortably their most worrying result of the season (and one that made them look relegation certainties) for Sean Dyche, who will have to cope without the prolific Danny Ings-Sam Vokes strike pairing for another couple of weeks. Lukas Jutkiewicz, Ashley Barnes and Marvin Sordell are all more than capable players, but whereas they are a trio that would strike fear into Championship defences, the Premier League is another matter entirely.

Perhaps the good news then is that this weekend they take on what last season was a Championship defence, albeit one of the best. The bad news, though, is plentiful. Leicester feel like they’ve had a much better start to the season than their 12th place would suggest and, though they were undone in classic Warnockian fashion last weekend at Selhurst Park, Dyche does not quite have the same tools at his disposal as the Palace manager. The King Power Stadium, which tends to generate one of the better atmospheres of the new-build grounds, will be buoyed by the memory of that 5-3 classic with Manchester United last time out. Perhaps most pertinently Leicester’s 2-0 win over Burnley at Turf Moor in March confirmed the Foxes as the best team in the Championship by some distance and the gap between the sides has since expanded. So the omens aren’t good for the visitors. Burnley have to stick by Dyche – given the squad he has at his disposal and the injuries, who could do a better job? And, should they find themselves back in the Championship next year, who is better equipped to lead another promotion charge? But he needs to give his suffering supporters something to cheer about. JA

It'll be interesting to see how the crowd noise holds up tomorrow.

 

The atmosphere has sounded excellent so far this season, but we've been massive underdogs in all three home games and the last game will live in the memory for years to come. 

 

Now that we're favourites and playing less than glamorous opposition, I just hope that the atmosphere doesn't go to how it was in the Championship when we were playing (perceived) weaker opposition than ourselves. 

 

We must avoid it going flat if we don't score in the first half or they go in front.

Am i the only one worried about tomorrow, this is being setup for a big fall for us

Really worried tbf. These are the real banana skin games. For us not to lose is imperative really. People must have forgotten how well they played last year.
