Mighty Clarets versus Miserable Stokies

Post by IanMcL » Tue Apr 04, 2017 12:47 pm

I am off to the match soon, so leave Madge to fire you up for this evening and the fight for the 3 points.

Miserable Mark hughes at the Turf with his cheating squad. Let's roll them over.

Come on you Clarets.

Have a good one.

Like Calif said Sunny Day in California.
Recording game to watch when I get home from work.
Beers in the fridge chilling :D
Going to to be a tuff game today, but I'm confident we can win this going with 2-0 Burnley, Mee and Vokes to score :P

Stoke have an absolutely appalling record in midweek games according to ClaretsPlayer.

Working away in concrete cow laden Milton Keynes so logging in here to stress out with the rest of the virtual Claret fraternity.

I'll take a 1-0 off Barton's backside if that's what gets us the 3 points

Stop Allen dictating play. Keep Arnautovic and Berahino from breaking with pace. Run at their back 3. That's the job for us tonight. Hendrick to do a lot of running, and Barton to sit quite deep I feel

Hi Spades! Well they also have a pretty poor away record I think so hopefully that will continue :)

Dyche quite brave with selection, but not quite there with leaving Brady out.

Can't believe Stoke haven't sold out their allocation remember them bring about 7000 in the fourth division for a midweek match - must have been Lou Macari's extended family
