Septic Peg Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Good morning friends. Today we play Burnley FC. The Inbetweeners lads (especially the one called Will) hate Burnley... Co-incidentally, Burnley and Bristol Rovers have something in common. Burnley are the 6th most hated club whilst we all know Rovers are the 6th most richest. http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/news/burnley/3584050.Clarets_fans__anger_after_club_named_sixth_most_hated/ Burnley is famous for its medieval witch stakings, and was named after a particular famous wizard was caught and staked by the name of Lee. I've heard no one from Hogwarts visits Burnley. However another famous wizard who eluded capture comes from the town. Gandalf. And also the supervillain Magneto. And also Norris from Coronation St. Must be something in the water... Burnley as well is 'oop north', just down the road from Preston. Unconfirmed reports class it as a shithole. Burnley FC play at Turf Moor which is like Exmoor and they also have their own beast in the shape of their manager, City reject Sean Dyche. He prowls Turf Moor during the night, hunting for discarded boots, hot dogs and empty jars of Bovril. They also copied Villa in their colours from green many years ago. Reasons range from a secret love of all things Villa to a colourblind RB who couldn't spot the difference between the grass and his colleagues. On to today, LJ has been granted a stay of execution. We are expected to lose today so in that case I will suggest a 2-1 win. And Engvall starts!!! Celebrations! Ooh and Harry Redknapp and Jamie are observing from the stands. Make what you will of that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerseybean Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Morning one and all Personally surprised that Burnley are ranked as the 6th most hated club, had them down as being quite a homely little outfit myself.

Ivorguy Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 We don't know yet what sort of team either side will field. Suspect Burnley will see this as a walkover and give squad players a chance. As for us we don't even know anymore who is first choice and who is squad or even under 23s - very confusing. What I dread is a boring draw forcing a replay which we shall lose at home amid a succession of home league defeats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst result right now would be a replay. Feel the same way today, rather foolishly believe City will sneak a surprise win. How foolish will this inkling look come 4.50pm? I haven't read much about the thoughts of Dyche, so not sure if he will take this game seriously. I can't see any reason why not, they seem relatively comfortable in the Prem for a change, but will he rest a few players and give us a chance? Conversely, will LJ do similar and rest a few players in readiness for the vital week ahead? Anyways, COME ON YOU REDSSSS!!!!!!!! Onto the 5th round please, gents....
