Mighty Clarets versus Boom Boom Baggie Baggie

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Sat May 06, 2017 1:12 am

Big day for our heroes, as 3 points would secure our presence at the top table, for another season, even though our missiles are non nuclear.

I am off early, to the match, so leave you all in the capable hands of Madge, to stir you into active support for the Mighty Clarets.

Up the Clarets

Heading for Arcade. That's Galicia not the pinball and slots emporium.
Hoping to be with you all for KO but if not no negativity allowed.
No praying for an Everton win, although we'd be grateful if they could.
We are Burnley and as SD reminds us we control what we can control. So go out and win boys. 1-0 will do, 3-0 would be better for the ticker.
COYC. NNN. LLTV.

What a weekend in prospect.
Clarets in the Prem, Dollopers in League One, we can but hope.

IndigoLake · Post by **IndigoLake** » Sat May 06, 2017 8:53 am

Good morning everyone. I have a really good feeling about today which means that we'll probably lose

Anyway, let's hope for mathematical safety today and hopefully 3 points to move further up the table

I thought it was Bong Bong Baggies but if we Boom Boom them then who cares UTC

Firthy · Post by **Firthy** » Sat May 06, 2017 10:14 am

Any team news yet ? I'll feel a lot happier knowing Keane or Mee is playing alongside Tark.

Would be great if we can make ourselves safe with a win rather than depending on Swansea not winning

2 mil a place ain't to be sniffed at.
Besides, I love putting one over on Pulis.
Let's do 'em!

COME ON UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU CLARETS!!

Copy/paste from BBC website:

Michael O'Dwyer: Beware going on holiday early, Palace, Burnley, Watford, Stoke and Leicester. I can see Hull and the Swans winning all their remaining games.

3 points for Burnley this afternoon and Michael O'D will have a shorter list of clubs he warns to "beware..."

I know Sean rates Kevin Long - but I think I would be more comfortable with 5 in midfield today - At least it looks like the traditional pairing of stopper and player in centre of defence - though last week Keane and Tarks were fabulous.

Draw the minimum requirement - but would love the win - IDWT - UTC

Hi Chester, are you proposing that James Tarkowski will be playing CM?

There were a few who weren't excited when the team was announced last week. Looking forward to kick-off and enjoying the game.

Long has waited (excuse the non intended pun) a long time for his opportunity, he has to take it with both hands imho

Chester Perry · Post by **Chester Perry** » Sat May 06, 2017 2:33 pm

Paul - absolutely not in CM for Tarks - with you on looking forward to the game

can't forget what Pulis does to us though (the man has the hex on us) I think they will just sit and wait and neither of us really do possession. So, much like last week the team with the possession tends to lose these types of games. Which is why I thought of 5 in midfield, Defour would be useful on the possession front in this game.

Must stress that Sean knows more than me though - hoping for a good afternoon

Nearly spat my cheap wine out when I saw no Keane or Mee at centre half. I hope Long has a good `un. COME ON BURNLEY!!!!

Raith Rovers GK sent off for serious foul play in the 4th min..

I'm curious to know what he did

Last time I saw that happen at TM it rolled off and nearly hit someone stood on the side of the pitch.

I believe it did come back down. Was a real crowd-pleaser.

The foul occurred in the 2nd minute - outside the box too - strange choice of action - obviously last man

minnieclaret · Post by **minnieclaret** » Sat May 06, 2017 3:16 pm

Only just caught up with the team news. If ever there was a side for Kevin Long to play against it's these monsters

re: an earlier post about Pulis having the hex on us. The stats were put up sometime back and it's a myth. We pretty much break even.

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Sat May 06, 2017 3:16 pm

Mike Jones looks to be carrying alot of extra weight compared to the beginning of the season

Minnie pleased to hear it - doesn't feel like it though
