• Burnley v Manchester United

Posted: **Tue Jan 12, 2021 6:23 pm**

Our fit and healthy Mighty Heroes step forward tonight, to see off the big spenders from the Trafford Centre, once again.

Madge is rested and raring to do her bit, for the cause, if welcomed.

Let's get behind the lads and send the rich folk home with a food parcel. (Mr Rushford, keep up your off pitch good work)

Come on Burnley Come on Burnley Come on Burnley

Posted: **Tue Jan 12, 2021 6:24 pm**

Let's do this.

Posted: **Tue Jan 12, 2021 6:42 pm**

I see that Madge has been removed already.

I wrote the following on the MK match thread -

"I completely fail to understand why anyone is complaining about pictures of Madge. She is fun. She has been the mascot of the matchday thread for years, ever since HolyCustard found her in a shoe box in his cupboard under the stairs.

Could someone explain what there is to complain about?"

So far no-one has enlightened me. It seems very narrow minded to complain about a young, French singer/dancer (Alizee) who has delighted match day viewers for years.

I'll ask again - could someone explain, please?

Posted: **Tue Jan 12, 2021 6:51 pm**

Poor Madge suddenly started “upsetting others”, so she had to go apparently.

She was also referred to as being “hideous”.

Posted: **Tue Jan 12, 2021 6:51 pm**

Not confident tonight. 1-3 I reckon

There's a Blackburn fan out there who knows we can't win without her.

Someone bought me one of her cds for Xmas. I'll put it on in memoriam.

Getting lots of complaints about the match day threads and with good reason. One match recently I had to remove so many posts that contained horrendously bad language, mainly from one poster, last weekend it was blatant racism. Then there are the juvenile thread titles. Last Saturday we had one poster using the thread to criticise another poster for daring to start the thread, claiming his to be official. Absolutely ridiculous.

Quite simply, these threads are causing a lot of problems and if it continues then the only answer will be to close the board down during games.

Steve Bruce has picked the side for us today.

Norris

Stevens
Pieters Cork bardsley
Wood

It's what I can only describe as a miserable day here in SW Ontario. Minus 6 degrees, cloudy, damp and some kind of freezing mist. My condo car park is getting slippery, I hope they salt it soon. I'm not confident of a positive outcome vs United today, hopefully we can avoid a battering, 0-2 would be acceptable. Funny though, some reporter on Sky is calling for a 1-0 Burnley win, maybe he knows something we don't, or he's found a good drug dealer

As for Madge, I don't see the problem, she's quite entertaining without being offensive.

That line up is as poor as the excuses on here.

Minus 3 in SW Scotland - clear and been a lovely day. Not overly optimistic tonight. I'll go 2-1 to us.

All seems perfectly reasonable Tony but the racist comments, lies and foul language need to be sorted out regardless of whether this is a match day thread or one of another subject. Not sure Madge is to be blamed for this it’s a bigger topic and not easy to resolve overnight

Silly titles - fair enough

In August 2009 we beat ManU 1-0. It was our first game at t'Turf in the Premier League.

Tonight we play ManU again. Tonight is our first Premier League game under our new owners.

Welcome to Turf Moor, Alan Pace and ALK.

1-0 will do for me.

Yeah I think they will keep us well shackled and hold us to two

Posted: **Tue Jan 12, 2021 7:17 pm**

I don’t like the look of the starting line up (especially the strikers) but hope the front 2 prove me wrong.

I don’t expect you to name names but could you please explain what these complaints are centred on? The bad language, racism I can understand. The thread title, photos of Madge might not be to your liking or sense of humour but they are harmless. The post about starting the thread was light hearted and taken that way by Steve.
For God Sake lighten up.

All available except CT. Great news.

Posted: **Tue Jan 12, 2021 7:20 pm**

Injury problems seem to be clearing up, which is good news with games coming thick and fast

FFS another shite line up at the front.
Why oh why doesn't he start Vydra and Jay Rod?

Posted: **Tue Jan 12, 2021 7:21 pm**

I've seen much worse line ups. If only the strikers put their boots on the right feet, we might just turn in a shock result.

Gud to see Gudders again.

C'mon you PL Clarets.

Posted: **Tue Jan 12, 2021 7:22 pm**

Seriously concerned if Pieters is trying to stop Wan-Bissaka.
Bench options are good though.
COME ON YOU CLARETS.

Posted: **Tue Jan 12, 2021 7:22 pm**

What does Vydra have to do to get a start??

Posted: **Tue Jan 12, 2021 7:22 pm**

Slightly annoyed Mumbongo and Glennon aren't on the bench.

I doubt he'll get much help from Brady either. He doesn't like tracking back.

Wood & Barnes are having a lean spell but I really do not get this obsession with Vydra.

Thank goodness no vydra ..... gives us half a chance

That's exactly what Robbie Brady does do and he knows what to do when he gets there because he used to play at full back

Posted: **Tue Jan 12, 2021 7:25 pm**

Wood will score tonight.

He can't score less goals than the current two, and he gives us a totally different option.

It’s a very strong bench though, only benson that’s not always around the first team, apart from Norris that is

I think people would just like to see him given at least a sniff of a chance to show his worth, that’s all.

It reminds me of Waddle’s reluctance to play Glen Little.

Posted: **Tue Jan 12, 2021 7:26 pm**

Evening all from The Isle of Man........needs a good performance tonight from the lads but if Wood and/or Barnes can get their act together we can av’em! (And that’s before Jay Rod comes on to finish ‘em off!!!).

COYC!!!

Can I suggest we have this debate on another day, it's CT's birthday and let's concentrate on the game ! UTC !!

Posted: **Tue Jan 12, 2021 7:27 pm**

Vydra always looks more impressive as a sub than a starter - Jay on the way back from injury - hardly surprising that Wood and Barnes start

Nice to have options from what is the strongest looking bench we've named in a long time

Was there any substance to the covid rumours around Brownhill and Westwood?

Not sure you need a totally different option when you have a pi55 poor refs performance 1 - 0 loss and a stuffing by City in the last 9 matches...otherwise unbeaten
