scotty Posted 14 June, 2018 Posted 14 June, 2018 But.....but...it was supposed to be Man U at home! Our ITK Kenyan chum told us so.... Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk Yes, and Burnley aren't available anyway as they are home to spurs.
Lets B Avenue Posted 14 June, 2018 Posted 14 June, 2018 Will Burnley be involved in qualy rounds of the Europa before that ? They start 27th July in the 2nd rd, but assuming they get through, our game will be on the Sunday or Monday. Won't know until 2nd August.
Lets B Avenue Posted 14 June, 2018 Posted 14 June, 2018 Possibly last on MOTD though.. Or first on MOTD2?

Saint_Jonny Posted 14 June, 2018 Posted 14 June, 2018 Easy ish game to start with. Am I missing something? Burnley finished 7th, we finished 17th. It is one of the harder games surely.
OttawaSaint Posted 14 June, 2018 Posted 14 June, 2018 This game will mark 665 days since we last beat Burnley in the league. Got a funny feeling we will pinch this one* *cheeky insurance bet placed just in case Love and light

igsey Posted 14 June, 2018 Posted 14 June, 2018 Any idea when tickets usually go on sale for the first game?

Dusic Posted 14 June, 2018 Posted 14 June, 2018 Tough start for The Wires and we all know their fans can be quick to turn even if they do bring in some quality. If they do well in that initial period then they could be set for a good season as fixtures get easier around Christmas. #WireWatch

I genuinely have no idea.
Lets B Avenue Posted 14 June, 2018 Posted 14 June, 2018 Excuse my footballing ignorance - who the heck are the wires ?? I genuinely have no idea. I thought he meant Warrington Wolves in the rugby league?
ericofarabia Posted 14 June, 2018 Posted 14 June, 2018 I thought he meant Warrington Wolves in the rugby league? Same here!!

Same here!! I was so confused and dense I actually went and googled it. Still non the wiser what he means...!
OttawaSaint Posted 14 June, 2018 Posted 14 June, 2018 I was so confused and dense I actually went and googled it. Still non the wiser what he means...! I think we need Ted Rodgers and dusty bin to figure this one out. Wires? Electrical wires? Electrical wires in a plug are multicoloured What else is multicoloured? The LBGTQ+ flag Gay capital of England is Brighton. The wires = BHA!
magnet Posted 15 June, 2018 Author Posted 15 June, 2018 Am I missing something? Burnley finished 7th, we finished 17th. It is one of the harder games surely. Did you not go to the Burnley home game last season? 63% possession, 13 to 5 shots, we dominated the game only to be caught by a sucker punch, Pope amazing and MOM, also they will more than likely have had a mid week European game too. I can think of a lot harder opening games.
suewhistle Posted 15 June, 2018 Posted 15 June, 2018 Wasn't the statuesque Forster in goal, I seem to recall?
magnet Posted 15 June, 2018 Author Posted 15 June, 2018 Wasn't the statuesque Forster in goal, I seem to recall? Yes it was, painful to watch it back https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x67zgqe
suewhistle Posted 15 June, 2018 Posted 15 June, 2018 Did you have to post that? :-) In remembering their goal I'd forgotten all our good chances.
hasper57saint Posted 15 June, 2018 Posted 15 June, 2018 We now have a quite competent Keeper who bowlocks those in front of him rather than stand still and watch.This ones ours for a change.
magnet Posted 26 June, 2018 Author Posted 26 June, 2018 So Burnley have a very long way to go for their Europa league games, Aberdeen. The second leg is a full 9 days before we play them so no advantage to us, probably more of an advantage to them as they would of had 2 competitive games beforehand.

The second leg is a full 9 days before we play them so no advantage to us, probably more of an advantage to them as they would of had 2 competitive games beforehand. if they beat Aberdeen they wil have a game the thursday before they play as as format of qualifiying has changed for forthcoming season and they have to get through three ties (6 matches) as opposed to thetwo ties (4 games0 we would have needed in 2015/16 when we lost to FC Midtjylland so they could have a long away trip in the week beofre trhey paly us https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018%E2%80%9319_UEFA_Europa_League

Its interesting if so, but I do wonder how much difference that particular element will make given they should be at their freshest at that point in the season. Given we're touring china, I reckon we'll see arguments for them being more match fit that us, or for their qualifying games upsetting the start of their season between now and then! I know the world cup is exciting and england are doing well (loving it whilst it lasts), but I also can't wait for the first game of the season! I hope it gets moved actually - will be the first first home game I miss in a long time otherwise Edited 26 June, 2018 by Saint86
M271 Posted 23 July, 2018 Posted 23 July, 2018 if they beat Aberdeen they wil have a game the thursday before they play as as format of qualifiying has changed for forthcoming season and they have to get through three ties (6 matches) as opposed to thetwo ties (4 games0 we would have needed in 2015/16 when we lost to FC Midtjylland so they could have a long away trip in the week beofre trhey paly us https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018%E2%80%9319_UEFA_Europa_League I see that if Burnley beat Aberdeen they have Istanbul Basaksehir away in the next round on the Thursday before our Sunday home match with them. So they do have a long away trip before us.
JRM Posted 24 July, 2018 Posted 24 July, 2018 I see that if Burnley beat Aberdeen they have Istanbul Basaksehir away in the next round on the Thursday before our Sunday home match with them. So they do have a long away trip before us. That’s a tough draw for them , both in terms of travel distance and quality of opposition, not sure they’d be able to rest too many players. I hope they get through against Aberdeen as this would help us, although Burnley are exactly the sort of team we struggled with last season, classic 0-0 sort of game.
st.bangkok Posted 24 July, 2018 Posted 24 July, 2018 Teams in the early qualifying rounds of the L, always have a good start to the season though don't they? I seem to recall West Ham getting off to a flyer one year as their game/fitness was ahead of many others as they had been playing competitive games for a few week before the rest of us.
Hatch Posted 27 July, 2018 Posted 27 July, 2018 probably mentioned already on other threads, but Nick Pope is broken. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44975815
Saint IQ Posted 27 July, 2018 Posted 27 July, 2018 probably mentioned already on other threads, but Nick Pope is broken. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44975815 I know he didn't play but he obviously hasn't had acceptable time away from football/rest if he's already playing in competitive matches, one wonders if that contributed to him getting injured.
the saint in winchester Posted 27 July, 2018 Posted 27 July, 2018 I know he didn't play but he obviously hasn't had acceptable time away from football/rest if he's already playing in competitive matches, one wonders if that contributed to him getting injured. Nope, he got clattered, either by his own teammate (some sources) or an opposition player (other sources). Get well soon, Nick, love and light.
whelk Posted 27 July, 2018 Posted 27 July, 2018 probably mentioned already on other threads, but Nick Pope is broken. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44975815 Is Heaton still out? he wasn't sub keeper yesterday
Tony F Posted 27 July, 2018 Posted 27 July, 2018 Yes it seems Burnley's first and second choice keepers are both injured. The third choice was in goal for most of the Aberdeen match last night. FF get your gloves packed; Lancashire is calling

FF get your gloves packed; Lancashire is calling �� Include a clause in the deal that he MUST play against his parent club
angelman Posted 27 July, 2018 Posted 27 July, 2018 Or FF to Wolves? One of theirs has sadly just retired due to a battle with Leukaemia. Now just needs Sporting to "take back" Rui Patricio.
S-Clarke Posted 27 July, 2018 Posted 27 July, 2018 Is Heaton still out? he wasn't sub keeper yesterday Yeah, he's still struggling with injury. They've got Andres Linderguard as their third choice i think.
