Match Threads Burnley vs Spurs - Match Thread

[Westmorlandspur]

Appropriate for Burnley's style of play. They have played most long balls in the league this season.

They also have most saves, and are second in fewest touches and clearances. We know what kind of game this is going to be...

It’s like going back 20 years when Burnley play. Two up front..get it forward early and scrap for the second ball. Good keeper and centre halves

Burnley are only 3 points clear of 18th placed Southampton and have an inferior GD.
.
They have to come out and play instead doing their usual crapiola.

They are also on a 7 match unbeaten run: 4 wins and 3 draws. Dyche has sorted out the early-season defensive mess and they're playing like last year's Burnley again.

Wrong again, the first rule of comedy is 'try to remember what the first rule of comedy is'

I think we'll get it done but can't see it being easy.

Just hope Poch has drilled the one game at a time into the players and there are no eyes already on the next three fixtures.

We'll win 4-1.

Fuck Burnley's little run. In case people hadn't noticed, we're sort of on one of our own. As a result of that, have a squad that is absolutely buzzing, which will be heightened even more by the potential return of the man who makes us a 1 man team.

Little nervy going into this one. But with the likes of Son, Eriksen and potentially Kane too, we can end their run of good form.

Think Winks will step up again for us. He has been in excellent form!

Don’t forget mike Dean is ref. He’ll have an impact on the game somehow. Probably a penalty.

The Spurs fan in me says they have nothing to lose by trying to beat us as this will be a game they should see as a bonus if they got anything out of it.

The realist in me says they'll try and play for the draw and get something out of the game rather than risking getting nothing.

They're not invincible and have to lose at some point.

Let's be honest, anything other than three points for us is a terrible result. Irrespective of Burnley's run of form.

Stunning command of the obvious, my dear.

His captain obvious stance doesn't stand for all of us...

Tomorrow being the point

I’ve wrestled with this all night. It woke me up at 2 this morning. I can’t get it out of my head. I’m putting it on record now.

Super Sissoko scores today.

 

[Metalhead]

Got to laugh at Lawro saying that Burnley are hard to score against now. Except I imagine if they play Liverpool.

 

[bubble07]

Maaaaaaaaaaaasive game. Win today and we are serious players in this title race and will give us the momentum for 3 maaaaaaaaaaaasive games after

Win today and we can enjoy the United v v Pool game tomorrow

Let's hope this extended break will pay off

Tough game for the boys today. In a strange way tougher than chelsea or arse because we are expected to beat burnley whereas the other 2 games negative results are not tooo inconceivable.
A nice 3 or 4 nil win would turn the heat up on the others nicely. Both son and kane getting a couple each. Would take a 1-0 though and i am deliberately working overtime to miss the game to avoid the frustrating game i am expecting will happen!
