well, we need some more points, what better place to get 3 more than a packed (ish) Turf Moor against sour faced Maureen-o and his petulant bunch of whingers and cheats in the guise of Manchester United.
If we cant win away, best to make the most of our remaining home fixtures and see this lot off with a defeat to ponder.

I'll suggest we can manage a 2-1 win. Anyones guess who'll score, but as long as someone does it , who cares.

On a high from their Chelsea win and a probable win against Anderlecht, Man Utd will have to rest a few before they play City, they are strong favourites though but I'm going for a close game.

Clarets 49 Man Utd 0

Nil-Nil at half time with second half sub Mark Monnington bagging 48 and an own goal from Wes Brown completing the scoring

1...1

I was thinking about this the other day.

2-0

We score from our 1st shot on target - about 15 mins or so pref a screamer or better still their error.
Utd get some bookings.
2nd half utd down to 10 men after 47,
Complete pitchside meltdown - ...
We score again via a dodgy ref call - about 60 mins or so.
JM in melt down.
A 2nd yellow for kicking the ball away or farting - so down to 9 by about 70 mins.
A few more petulant Jose "Look at Me moments".
Eventually sent to the stands.
Full time JM approaches the ref - plus swears at SD
JM knocked out in the tunnel - he simply slipped says SD

Going for 1-1 in this one , a bit like Chelsea game at home I would say how it pans out .

Anything that ends with Manchester United 0.

1-1 Gray

I'm actually quite hopeful we'll get a draw at least.

1-1

Another point, another step towards safety

My Manyoo mates think the win against Chelski was their best performance under Mourinho. But they do admit Keano is faster than any Chelsea defender so can't see how they will score.

So we all agree on a Claret 1-0

0-0

Just can't see us scoring!

2.1
Barnes Gray

A shock 3 - 0 win.
Brady free kick.
Keane header from a corner.
Can't remember who scored the other.

2-1, which following loses for Hull & Swansea makes it a good weekend.

Hendrick & Keane with the goals

we will need some luck and worried we used it all up at their place, however since then we have had none so see it as an omen that we will win.

3 - 2 predicting lots of celebrations at the end

however as a disclaimer I did predict we would finish 16th with 38 points and had this as a draw, and yes I predicted no more wins in the last six (sorry) but 2 draws. Would love to be proven wrong with a win, especially as daughter in law and her family are all MU supporters except her father who is a Spurs supporter and will be on mine and my son's side lol

I think we'll win. The Moaning one doesn't like playing us much, and I'm hoping Barnsey starts and gets in their faces. Can't wait!

I bet Joey is looking forward to meeting his old mate Zlatan Ibrahimovic and with Barnes and Mourinho it should be an entertaining game

Wish i could lip read. All i got was the name of a viking king of England famous for not stopping the tide. I think. Also, 1 nil Burnley

I would love a win but I'm betting on BFC winning at HT with a draw at FT.
If Barnes starts, I'll have him to score first. If he doesn't, Jeff's the man.
1-1

And it's 1-1 from me too

1-0 last minute Barnes winner, who then runs right up to Jose and points to his name on the back of his shirt.

1-0 for me.

re turbo5's post a few up... after the Ibra/Joey youtube clip, I got a "top crazy things Joey Barton has done" clip; first one was listed as "Calling Gary Lineker an odious little toad"
Can't see that's crazy in the least, it's just an accurate piece of description.

1-0 Clarets

Brady (Free Kick à la Robbie Blake) !

Tom saves a Pen (à la Beast) !

Jose goes off on one, quoting 13 different minutes when Ashley Barnes smashes into Rojo, Fellaini, Ibrahimovicat , Pogba and Bailly

1-3

I got 235-1 on Burnley to beat Everton 1-0, Keane to score first goal. 20 players in the match, £20 on each score. How many scores? 1-0, 0-1,1-1, 1-2,2-1, 3-1,3-2,2-2, 1-3, 3-3. That would be £200 bet, returns £235. Hmm... I'm not a betting man but if I were...

Any comments from any regular punters?

It will be Tom Heaton.....a screamer the full length of the pitch!

That would be a pukka result for sure, LCP. I wonder what the odds on that, are?

I strongly dislike all things Man Utd, and I would love it if we beat them, love it!

Heart says 1-1 Gray
Head says 0-2 pen and screamer, with the token played well just unlucky line making a rare appearance..

Be happy for a draw but hoping for a win 2-2 is my result would be ecstatic with 2-1
My flight is at 5.40 to Birmingham this evening then few beers and a take away will be in order
driving up Friday with my mate who is a Villa fan and will be attending the game hope we can show him what hes missing with a good performance
Friday Saturday doing my Dads fascia and soffits in plastic grand in Clitheroe Saturday night for Into The Valley
then Sunday to the grand Stately Home of Football UTC

So a pretty quiet weekend then Longside4evr?

A point would put us 6 points clear of Swansea with 4 games remaining assuming they win. A defeat would not be the end of the world and a win would top off a truly fantastic season. Wonder how Keane will perform against his `new`team mates ? He will be wanting to play CL next season I suspect

I can't see past a 1-1 for some reason. Just think it'll be a similar game to the Chelsea one. A point would do as well; I think that'd make us safe.

Either we win 1-0 or we lose 3-1

have a feeling we'll get humped...

0-4 for me unfortunately

1-0 to the Clarets, no doubt about that one.

What it will be, getting their best XI here on a Sunday afternoon, them being one of the biggest footballclubs in the world, in sleepy downtown Burnley at homely Turf Moor ( capacity 22,500) is a fantastic sporting occasion, reminding me of the 'good old days'..

Love them or hate them, everyone gets up for it and interested when Manchester United come to town.

More confident now Zlatan's out - difficult to see us beating a team who've only lost 3 all season, 0-0 or 1-1 would be fantastic. Our last three games look the most likely in terms of a decent points return anything else before then is a bonus.

See nothing at the moment from Swansea and to a lesser extent Hull to suggest they'll catch us regardless of Sunday's result. Important not to panic even if this weekend turns out to be a setback

no ZLatan, no Rojo

i'm changing my prediction, I'm going Clarets 58 Man Utd 0

Lowest goalscorers in the top 7 by some margin but defensively tight. I'll go for a 1-0 to us.

1-1

5-0 to United as the wheels come off at home.

You need help.

Fortunately my predictions are as useless as Coyotes, but we never wins when he says we will so I act as a counterweight.

A draw would be great. Almost safe then. So 1-1
