Match Thread Burnley v Everton, Saturday 3rd March 2018

Worried about this one, the 3 sides behind us can all over take us if we lose and they all have winnable games, a draw simply won't be good enough

We all know this is going to be 1-0 Burnley following a typical horrifically disjointed and passive Everton away performance.

Our esteemed leader will then blame the players because they aren't sophisticated enough to understand the subtle nuance of his tactical master plan.

So much pessimism

It’s resigned realism. You are aware of our startlingly terribly away record I presume?

I've got loads of belief for Saturday



















that it will be postponed

I fear we are being inexorably drawn into a relegation dogfight...and it’s a fight our full English breakfasted bunch of yellow bellied bottlers just won’t be up for.

I’m aware of the past 30 years also

Hope we win of course but sadly Allardyce isn't interested in away games and no matter what team he picks he will send them out defensively and try and get a draw. It will likely be another cack performance and if/when we lose, it wont be his fault, but the players. The only one positive thing that might come out of another away defeat is that it could be the one that finally sees the end of his disgraceful and embarrassing tenure. Lets hope so. It would make losing a lot less painful knowing that the muppet would no longer be in the dugout.

...thus pessimism is realism

..and being on Sky will make a big difference.

Yep, I'm going to this one and was hoping for a postponement. Come on Lancashire police, do the right thing!

If I wasn't sticking to a schedule to walk the dog consistently I'd be swerving this for a lie in.

 

[Big Fat Sam]

I'm prepared to run the streets of Burnley on Friday night with a massive hose pipe in the hope it freezes over and thus the police have no option but to postpone due to public safety.

Do it, big man. Give me my Saturday back.

Honestly, man, I'm fed up of Everton ruining my weekends. Doubly bad that the RS are about three players away from being as good as City.

Easy home win.

The range of ‘Everton that’ possibilities that this game presents has piqued my hitherto withered interest in watching’the Blue bottlers’ ...there will likely be some black comedy value in store.

Mate, I read your post in Marvin's voice and had a chuckle. A crushing early and/or very late goal written all over this one.
