I am off down to Felix bar in Paris to watch the match. However, Madge, as ever is here to psyche us up for the big match and 3 valuable points in our quest for Europe!
Let's have a good one. Up the Clarets.

Thought the kick-off was midnight my time...WRONG! The boy is NOT in his lucky Burnley top nor my 7-month old in hers which all points to a Clarets win with no booze in sight (can`t wait another 48 minutes dry with the 3 beers I had in place for my midnight kick-off. I take back my 4-0 loss prediction and oh, looksy, Arfield is playing! UP THE CLARETS! COME ON!!!!!!!

Tripps just showing what a quality delivery can do to crack open a defence - sublime assist for Spurs 3rd - how we miss the lad

Allez les Clarets, Ian. Are you stalking Madge?
Tough decision to make. I can watch a perfect picture on skygo but about 3 minutes behind a poor picture on a stream.
If I go with sky I'll be staying off the match thread to enjoy the game.
We will not come home pointless. UTC. NNN.

Tripps passing today has been sublime.....plus he is always making himself available for the ball.Certainly international standard.such a pity he is second fiddle to Walker.

Firminho out, important to how they play apparently.
Replacement Origi is rubbish, watch him go and score now

Whilst I'd say that's also down to poor marking (or orders to stand off Spurs' players), he's had very good vision. He's made a simple pass look really good. Walker is certainly better though.

Defensively I'd agree, his pace makes up for his errors.
Attacking Trips is way superior. Walker runs with his head down and rarely contributes to any goals.

Good afternoon everyone! Really happy to see Barnes back but not confident at all. Think we'll lose but fingers crossed I'm wrong!

Down to my last beer with 16 minutes to go before kick-off and the missus tossing and a turning only a matter of metres to my right. I wanna go to bed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
p.s. to clarify...I sleep with the 2 year old and the angry missus, the 7-month old! I just need sleep!!!!! COME ON BURNLEY!!!!!

I have a beer in hand. It isn't my first. I'd like to revise my prediction of a Burnley loss. We'll win 5-2.

Decent stuff from Burnley on the counter there. Gray chasing and putting in a cross.

I was just typing as we scored that I don't think Liverpool have looked anything special in the opening minutes. Early days obviously. Encouraging start.
