What's the betting that the cold water tap and fridge in the away changing rooms have broken, the air con is switched off, and the heating thermostadt has been upped to 45 degrees ? Dyche - any excuse to get a small advantage....
Absolutely. The cloggers rely on screaming crowds for motivation, in order to continue closing down the ball and elbowing opponents in the face for 90 minutes.
Pope M Lowton, J Tarkowski, B Mee (c), C Taylor J Brownhill, A Westwood, J Cork, M Vydra, J Rodriguez, D McNeil I would imagine that their starting 11 will be exactly the same from their game against Man City. The only change they can possibly make is bringing in Bardsley based on their team news/contract situations. We really need to score the first goal and early. Make them come out and attack us for Sarr to get in behind. The longer the game goes on 0-0 the more it will play into the favour of Burnley. Massively important for us to score first.
Obviously plan A is to get 2 or 3 goals ahead and give our key players a breather, though at the same time, if it does stay 0-0 for a long time, hopefully they'll start to flag with their lack of depth and coming off the back of the City game
I have to say this line up wouldve been considered pretty multi-cultural ...................in the 12th century
We absolutely need a win to keep out of the psychological mire. That bottom 5 is so tight we need to avoid being sucked back into it. We need to be careful, however, because as we all know, Burnley are the dirtiest team of thugs on the planet. Hope the ref doesn't allow them to commit common assault, as they do most games. I haven't checked the stats, but I'll wager that they have a lot more red cards than us.
I'm sure I've read the same. I'm not sure why the Prem League puts up with it TBH. Surely they should be told to clean up their act or face expulsion ? Presumably the racist PL are just supporting their own ?
19 red cards so far this season and 32 the season before. The season before that was actually only 14 red cards but they did of course murder two opposition players that year.
Since you asked so nicely: This season - Watford 3 red cards, Burnley 0. 2018-19 - Watford 4 red cards, Burnley 1. 2017-18 - Watford 4 red cards, Burnley 0. 2016-17 - Watford 5 red cards, Burnley 2. 2015-16 - Watford 3 red cards, Burnley 0. Five year total - Watford 19 red cards, Burnley 3. I'm not sure why the league puts up with it either.
It's just a question of who they maim and how badly. Aguero has already had his post Burnley surgery in Barcelona. WFC have booked out a wing at Burnley general for whoever these lancastrian barbarians kick out of the game this time.
Yep. Inconclusive. Not a big enough sample. Looks like he's working backwards and trying to find any numbers which fit his theory. Also, I very much doubt that his post is peer reviewed. Garbage.
Extrapolating that, that's 24 red cards per year! How are they allowed to get away with it? Absolute barbarian, brutish thugs!
