I think the time has come to restore normal business for the Clarets.
I am just setting off for the match, hence the early start.
Madge has come out of HolyCustard 's cupboard under the stairs, to rally the troops, despite not being offered a new contract.
Let's do this Clarets. Let's make Turf Moor vibrate with our support and frighten those Hornets to death.
Up the Clarets

Blimey Ian, you've started early for a 6 o'clock kick off.
Couldn't you sleep with the excitement ?

On the way from Kent with my wife Ginny. We're trying the train for a change, 4 hours 10 minutes, so not too bad. Nervous as hell, should be a very close game!

It's a 2.00am kick off time here in the Philippines. That's a better starting time than some of our other games that have been 3.45am starts.
3 points confidently predicted for the Clarets!

Has anyone done a win count? Crucial to our success. So I’ll do it. Haggis in a tin. Forget the juice. Any guesses?

Come on Burnley. I am really excited about this match and I haven't felt that a lot recently. Hopefully we'll play like we did against Brentford and Watford play like Brentford did.

Yes an hour before. You could ask the poster on here who claims to know every starting 11 before the rest of us.
