Imagine being called Pedro. “What’s your name?” “Pedro”. “Pedro what?” “Just Pedro - it’s enough”

Damn I thought Chelsea were going to rest players, strong team out.

Evening, Fellow Clarets, from the still warm, clear Derbyshire hills.

The current weather in Vancouver is sunshine, with a little cloud.
A city not long ago described by ClaretCanada, as the most beautiful in the world.
He'll be watching tonight's game from up high.
Here's hoping we put on a good show for our recently departed friend.

COME ON UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU CLARETS!!

Looking forward to this - feels like an age since I've seen Burnley on the box. Come on you clarets!

Their two best players are on the bench though or two out of three if you count Kante.

Evening all. Apologies for lateness. 5 and quarter hours despite setting off from Bristol today! Motorway all the way.

Here is Madge to get us even more up for the match.
Let's have a good one.

Up the Clarets.

Further to Conte's comments... yeah it's really easy to manage Burnley.

Imagine how much you suffer when you have

1Caballero
4Fàbregas
8Barkley
10E Hazard
21Zappacosta
22Willian
27Christensen

on the bench

I agree ! Its so much easier for Dyche to manage a club when he doesn't have that much quality players on the bench !

God forbid when you're supposedly the best in the world with the best players in the world and an infinite pot of money, you're expected to like... err... win the League Cup or something

That's well out of order from Abrhamovic!!!

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Thu Apr 19, 2018 7:31 pm

Watching the NBCSN stream.
Got Robby Earl stating categorically that Nick should be in the England squad for Russia.

It'll take me a while to get fed up with these pundits praising our players!

Come on you carrots. Never felt more confident about beating Chelsea, we don't fear anyone these days

Half the tv's have the Clarets on.The other half Bstards.
Hopefully the right result on each screen.

Saints starting with the non scoring Shane Long up front ...

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Thu Apr 19, 2018 7:37 pm

biggest free hit of the season for us, no pressure, not expected to win. Hopefully our lads will play with freedom and do the double of them. Tough game though

Giroud tries to get a pen but ref not buying it

Long not having any of it from Giroud.

He should treat himself and pick up a clean sheet.

Ooo close from Morata.

Pope got a touch on it to be safe

just said on the telebox that if we finish 6th we go straight into the Europa League group stages in September, if we finish 7th the first game is 21st July. Huge difference to pre season prep

Was just to about to post this from the BBC sport website.

Rezaa Sait: As an Arsenal fan, Burnley deserve to finish above us. They've earned it. We need to focus on Atletico and then persuade Sean Dyche to manager Arsenal.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Thu Apr 19, 2018 8:06 pm

That's a bugger.
