[Reidy's Bottle Of Grecian]

East Lancs Derby first up, Burnley v Blackburn or in colloquial terms....Dingles v Bashtards. It's 1-0 to fat sams cloggers at the moment.

Anyone think we might go for any Burnley players should they go down ? Eagles maybe ? Or maybe Moyes will fancy a punt on Nugent ?

 

[heatmeiser]

I get the feeling Eagles wouldn't pass the Moyes personality test. He seems too much of a quiff (™GOT).

finished 1-0 to blackburn that game, a dunne pen.

there will a a right tribal gathering outside turf moor about now, and no doubt many brick ambushes en route back to blackburn.
the fans can only get tickets if they also get coach travel from ewood, they'll be kept in for about 2 hours in what is usually a massive police operation to get them to and from the ground. doesn't stop all the ones who've not gone to the game from waiting outside for the burnley lot to come out to commence hostilities though.

Not sure about Eagles, is he even a regular starter on Burnley? I always see him brought in as a sub when I watch them.

I'd take Nugent for around 4M in a heartbeat. He didn't have a chance under Harry and despite the goal total if you watched him at Pompey he played well. It would be a steal (Hell even Beattie after riding the pine with us went for 4M). He's quietly having a nice season. Plus big strikers almost always are late bloomers and he'd bleed for us.

 

[Seamus Colemole]

Burnley have one of the worst defenses i've seen.

others did also at the start of the season, wave of hysteria that was carrying them along, ushoited and us in the same week. until the end of feb they had only lost 2 at home in the league (wigan and chelsea) they drew a lot though.

On BBC

"With Sunderland's match winner from October not making the bench it must be absolutely deflated."

I wonder how many times we'll hear that joke before the day's up.

Babel plays too, so Sunderland have a real chance.

Indeed .Come on you twots !!!!

 

[Upper Sturry Sherbets]

I would rather look directly into the sun than watch the [Poor language removed] play, especially when it's against some lesser opposition at home where they are expected by most to win, It just doesn't hold any interest.

oh to hell with it, they're crap, but they're going to win today aren't they, might as well get to it, can't see anything other than a [Poor language removed] victory today, still in the hunt for euro berths and all.

Blackburn and Burnley, these two hate each other, I remember back a few years ago, they were meeting each other in the league for donkeys years and everybody was looking forward to it, there was a lot of talk about expected trouble, but I think it passed off pretty much quiet, not as bad as it had been before.

big police clampdown mate, as i say, they cant have a ticket unless they go on official coaches from ewood, meeting prob at 9 a.m. and being in the ground about 2 hours before k.o.
Burnley FC v Blackburn Rovers - police advice - Burnley Express

The match takes place at Turf Moor on Sunday with a noon kick-off. The 3,000 Blackburn Rovers supporters will be bussed in from Blackburn and are asked to arrive at Ewood Park at 9 a.m.

Police are also warning people looking to cause trouble not to bother. Letters have been sent to those people who are subject of a banning order, reminding them of the terms and conditions of their order.

Match Commander Jeff Brown said: "We have worked extremely closely with both Burnley and Blackburn Rovers Football Clubs, when planning the policing operation for both games. We have also, where best we can, tried to replicate the same logistical plans that were in place for the first match at Ewood Park.

"The primary aim of our operation is to ensure public safety and get people to and from the ground safely. We will have extra officers on duty to assist supporters attending the match.

"Only 0.04% of people attending football matches actually cause problems at the games and this represents the tiniest of minorities. I want to reassure people attending the game that we will not be letting a minority spoil what is a historic encounter.

"We will have the resources available on the day to deal with any incidents of disorder and people should also be warned that as well as being dealt with on the day we will also look to secure banning orders on offenders.

"There will be a number of road closures in place to enable us to transport Blackburn Rovers supporters into Burnley and also accommodate the many coaches coming from Blackburn. I would ask Burnley fans to allow extra time for travelling to the game on the day and check prior to travelling which roads will be closed.

"Given the large amount of people attending the game, I would also urge people to keep their valuables safe, cars locked with nothing on display, use safe and secure car parks and keep your personal belongings like your keys, wallets and purses in zipped bags or front pockets.

"I would also remind people the clocks go forward the night before so make sure you change your clocks and alarms accordingly!"

my mate works for something like 'the east lancs post' their joint newspaper, reckons it's merry hell tbh when they meet and there will have been allsorts going on this weekend in towns inbetween the 2. they can bus them to the game but the ones with banning orders will meet elsewhere to slug it out.
