score prediction versus Manchester United.

Wile E Coyote · Post by **Wile E Coyote** » Tue Apr 18, 2017 11:19 pm

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

HunterST_BFC · Post by **HunterST_BFC** » Wed Apr 19, 2017 12:40 am

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.

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

1-1

Another point, another step towards safety

Guich · Post by **Guich** » Wed Apr 19, 2017 9:07 am

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

Just can't see us scoring!

No Ney Never · Post by **No Ney Never** » Wed Apr 19, 2017 12:17 pm

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

KateR · Post by **KateR** » Wed Apr 19, 2017 12:21 pm

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

mikeS · Post by **mikeS** » Wed Apr 19, 2017 8:45 pm

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!

turbo5 · Post by **turbo5** » Wed Apr 19, 2017 9:39 pm

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

evensteadiereddie · Post by **evensteadiereddie** » Wed Apr 19, 2017 10:17 pm

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

mkmel · Post by **mkmel** » Wed Apr 19, 2017 10:22 pm

Ric_C · Post by **Ric_C** » Wed Apr 19, 2017 10:59 pm

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

LeadBelly · Post by **LeadBelly** » Wed Apr 19, 2017 11:07 pm

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.

RalphCoatesComb · Post by **RalphCoatesComb** » Thu Apr 20, 2017 8:41 am

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

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!

Pstotto · Post by **Pstotto** » Thu Apr 20, 2017 9:42 am

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

MACCA · Post by **MACCA** » Thu Apr 20, 2017 10:08 am

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

Friday Saturday doing my Dads fascia and soffits in plastic grand in Clitheroe Saturday night for Into The Valley

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Thu Apr 20, 2017 2:00 pm

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

jlup1980 · Post by **jlup1980** » Thu Apr 20, 2017 2:57 pm

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.

0-4 for me unfortunately

hampsteadclaret · Post by **hampsteadclaret** » Thu Apr 20, 2017 7:15 pm

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.

EarbyClaret · Post by **EarbyClaret** » Thu Apr 20, 2017 11:45 pm

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

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Fri Apr 21, 2017 3:35 am

no ZLatan, no Rojo

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

ThinLizzy · Post by **ThinLizzy** » Fri Apr 21, 2017 6:08 am

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

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
