I am off to Wembley...via car and bus.
Here is Madge to get us all fired up to cheer on our heroes. She is very fired up herself!

Let's make it special.
Up the Clarets

Persuaded the daughter to drive us to the tube station ( and collect.

About to have pre-drinks in the garden (having just finished a nice cooked breakfast/brunch),

Followed by Gaviscon, followed by cheap horrible lager at the stadium. Probs more Gaviscon later.

I'm hoping for a Burnley win but they are a top team. Will be great to see how our newer players perform.

I hope you didn't have hash browns?

Come on Burnley. What do we reckon... 4-4-2 or 4-5-1? I'd be surprised if we went 4-4-2.

Bin Ont Turf · Post by **Bin Ont Turf** » Sun Aug 27, 2017 2:39 pm

I reckon....

Heaton
Lowton
Tarky
Mee
Ward
Westwood
Cork
Defour
Brady
Arfield
Vokes

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Sun Aug 27, 2017 2:42 pm

I said on another thread, that I think Cork, Defour, Westwood would be the best way to go, so I'd be happy with that. But Arfield and no JBG?

Bin Ont Turf · Post by **Bin Ont Turf** » Sun Aug 27, 2017 2:46 pm

I just think Arfield with his energy is right for this game.

Bin Ont Turf · Post by **Bin Ont Turf** » Sun Aug 27, 2017 2:50 pm

Rodders has scored for West Brom.

Not that we're bothered.

Arfield to score a screamer today.

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Sun Aug 27, 2017 3:10 pm

A strong line up. And the likes of Taylor and Wood on the bench. Nice.

We'll win by at least 4 goals. Tottenham are crap.

Let's reset. I'm saying the likes of Taylor and Wood on our bench just shows how good we are.

My hope is that with the likes of Cork and Defour alongside him in the midfield 5, he'll perhaps have a bit less defensive responsibility on him and flourish as a result. That's my hope anyway!

LoveCurryPies · Post by **LoveCurryPies** » Sun Aug 27, 2017 3:29 pm

If Liverpool & Arsenal draw, and Burnley beat Tottenham....we would be joint 5th. Is that too much to ask?

I'd go along with that. He's free to just roam forward which is what he's best at. And if we go 1-0 down, we can change to 4-4-2 and bring Wood on.

I thought he was very good when he played in that no 10 role against Everton last season.

Not agreeing with the inclusion but Arfield DOES have the ability to thread a ball through to the front men...man...seeing a Brady winner!!!!
