Spuds v Super Clarets Match Thread

[ClaretTony]

It’s tough, games are going to be so hard and we have VAR to put up with. But I always want my club to be the best it can be and it’s wonderful to be back.

CONE ON YOU CLARETS

[Elizabeth]

So we are starting the season with a weaker side than last season.

Who would have imagined Laurent, Sonne, Foster and Ekdal would start the season when we were celebrating promotion??

Congratulations agent. You win the award of the 'first matchday moan of the season'.

[Vegas Claret]

Surprised no Luca no the bench, he really troubled Lazio with his pace.

[Elizabeth]

Injury’s and late arrivals unhelpful but we look woefully short of quality. Need a massive effort from everyone today.

Sorry the award's already been won. You were pipped

[mkmel]

We have better options on the bench anyway but is Barnes injured?

[Buxtonclaret]

Happy New Season from grey Deryshire hills.
Back in the day, when I was a nipper, Spurs was one of the first fixtures I looked for.

COME ON UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU CLARETS!!

[jojomk1]

In all honesty
I would have been worried with that side in the Championship
But, onwards and upwards

[Hedontplayforyou]

We have better options on the bench anyway but is Barnes injured?

I love Barnes for his time here but I don’t want to see him in the squad this season .

Meaning our other options are fit hopefully

[CryerBFC]

Anything can happen in this league. Who'd thought we'd have beaten United at home all them years ago.

Hopefully Spurs underestimate us, with the lads who have been given a shirt busting a gut for the team and making it theirs to lose.

Odds are against us but this is a much more settled line up for me than the one we started with against City under VK.

UTC!

[gandhisflipflop]

I wasn’t convinced by Sonne at all last week but in Parker we trust.

[Elizabeth]

Guys lets focus on the game today please. Back the lads. We can all bicker later.

Good sentiment but many of us are p****d off with such blatant negativity an hour before the game. Strong suspicion of trolling this thread. There are some miserable b******s in Burnley and all of them seem to post on this thread.

Already crunch time for Burnley?

The BBC at it already.

I completely agree and have said as much earlier in the thread, but rising to it only ruins the thread.

[burnley007]

I'm predicting that I'll be getting a Sonne shirt for Christmas.

This season's CJ?

Is there any chance you could just give it a rest?

You've said your piece now, the action is about to start and it would be good if this thread could be about the game and not posters going at each other.

[derryclaret]

Afternoon all from a sunny day up here, it's been a fantastic summer so far, we know it's going to be tough but great to be at the top table of English football. Come on the mighty Clarets!!!

[Claretmutt]

Can’t understand so called Clarets fans whinging already before we’ve entered
the pitch. Go and watch Bastards, if you want
to moan.For f. S sake get behind your team.

[Procrastinate B]

Premier Sports pundits already writing us off, but Leeds and Sunderland ‘have a good chance’.

[Procrastinate B]

I'm predicting that I'll be getting a Sonne shirt for Christmas.

This season's CJ?

He must have something, or there’s no chance he’d be starting.

[Casper2]

COME ON YOU CLARETS

[BobbyBoucher]

I agree, compare today’s starting eleven compared to last times.

Last time we started with this team:

Trafford
Al Dakhil, Beyer, O’Shea, Roberts
Vitinho, Berge, Cullen, Koleosho
Amdouni, Foster


That team was so unbalanced and physically weak. This team is more experienced, bigger physically and set up in a much more rigid system.

I’m optimistic and will happily take a 0-0 now

Couldn't agree more and none of that touches on our bench which looks extremely strong and offensive. Scott has clearly set us up to be tight and should we go behind we have plenty on the bench. I am quite optimistic this afternoon UTC

[Steddyman]

It’s the leading 0 in the single digits and the 11 that throws it all out

The numbers should be right aligned. It is so bad, it is almost like they are doing it on purpose.

[Taffy on the wing]

COME ON BURNLEY!

[jos]

Spurs on comms

[IanMcL]

Come in you Clarets!!

[wilks_bfc]

Make me laugh the pundits referring to Spurs as a Champions League club

They only reason they are a Champions League club, after finishing 17th in the league last season, is by winning the European equivalent of the Papa Johns Trophy

[IanMcL]

We are off

[Buxtonclaret]

Good save.

[IanMcL]

Shambles first min!

[Commy]

Shambles first min!

They are possibly nervous. Although it does look like we are going to allow them to play well into our half.

[Wo Didi]

Pozz, Wo Didi.


Hope you're ok.

Pozz ecc, I'm good thanks mon amis

[IanMcL]

They are possibly nervous.

Probably but time for that in the Prem!

[IanMcL]

Excellent catch from Dubravka

[IanMcL]

Bloody Oliver wanted to be the first to give a corner for keeper holding for more than 8 secs. badtard

[tarkys_ears]

I wonder how fairly this 8 second rule will be implemented...

[CaptJohn]

Bloody Oliver wanted to be the first to give a corner for keeper holding for more than 8 secs. badtard

He couldn't bloody wait could he!

[JimmyRobbo]

8 seconod rule....let's see how it is applied to the big clubs.

[Commy]

It seemed a very quick 8 seconds.

[jojomk1]

I wonder how fairly this 8 second rule will be implemented...

Stick to it and there will be no problems

[Kgun5]

It seemed a very quick 8 seconds.

Comms said he had it 14 seconds.

[IanMcL]

Good attack by Burnley with players in the box too.

[CoolClaret]

Settling in, little jab on the nose to wake us up, par for the course so far!

[Commy]

Last time we were far too attacking and open and now Sherwood says we are far too defensive lol.

[IanMcL]

Goal kick us

[JohnDearyMe]

Last time we were far too attacking and open and now Sherwood says we are far too defensive lol.

Think I'm more comfortable with this approach personally!

[ecc]

Why don't they go and support another team?

UTC

[CaptJohn]

What's this with Parker and a tie?

[IanMcL]

Romeo thumps Foster. FK us

[IanMcL]

Good effort.

[Tricky Trevor]

Romero should have been booked for a pointless elbow to Fosters head.
Sh!t they’ve scored.
