[Archived] Burnley V Blackburn Rovers

[longsiders1882]

Quality read that Bob - much more entertaining banter than the usual 'dingle', 'shagging your sister' type stuff.

1000 in the bob lord - aye alright then. 500 in the longside? I do hope they are in the lower tier, well at least until you wake up and smell reality. On a serious note, in terms of selling out. Not sure what the status is but at the time all those stories were doing the rounds it was because they had not gone on general sale.

Now I shall bow out until after the game I think. At the moment it is too painful to contemplate, let alone engage in banter about. I cannot convey to you how woeful our performances have been, how inept. I cannot find one positive thing to say about our games since Coyle left with the possible exception of the Man U game. I cannot see anything other than a serious hammering for this one.

So for now I shall bid you adieu but I promise to come back at some point next week whether we win lose or draw - or even get the hammering I fear.

It's true mate honest...................... spoke to most of them this week.............. most are going on the train 1st thing in the morning.

To the tune of Dancing In The Dark - Bruce Springsteen (the chorus):

This boys on fire,

This boys on fire he's our spark,

David Dunny for England,

David Dunn is the king of Ewood Park.

I think we all know form goes out of the window as do records.

This is Rovers versus dingles, the BIGGEST and OLDEST derby around.

Yet another chance to show the watching world just where the east Lancs standing really is.

I dont doubt our team being up for this aas will the clarrotts.

Still a rovers win mind

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Burnley WILL come out all guns blazing,we have to be careful and contain that initial pressure.

Word to our defence......CLOSE THE B'STARDS DOWN QUICK AND DONT GIVE THEM A FREE SHOT!!!!

[thenodrog]

What shall I put on my banner guys?

GOING DOWN 4 EVER.... LUV ROVERS HA HA HA

In which case plod will no doubt round them up and detain them until after the match and shove em on a train back.

Quieten the crowd so the dingles will lose their initial home impetus.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Will Sam play two up front and go for the win?

Dunny out injured for the game?...would take the point now tbh.

[DE.]

Why change what appears to be working?

That's pretty impressive if you've spoken to most of 1,500 fans. If they're all off on the train though a good proportion of them won't get in to the game no matter what sort of tickets they've got.

[OJRovers]

Hopefully Dunn will be fit

I'd play Roberts up there instead of Kali, JR looks in good form at the minute.

Maybe Nelsen back in for Jones being the other change.

[BlueWhiteDynamite]

Dont know if they're using the same operation as ewood, but speaking to a taxi driver at the home game he said the police were questioning taxi drivers and cars coming through rishton, great harwood and padiham to look out for trouble. so if you've got a 'home' ticket be warned you might be stopped.

Don't think it's even possible to speak to that many people in a week lol never mind fit them all on a train 1st thing in the morning. But there's thousands in the home section just like they had at Ewood

clearly this was a p*ss take out of the dingles attendances obsession

[American Rover12]

Brilliant preview

[Steve Moss]

Regardless of whether Dunn is in or out, we'll win this one. Rovers are by far the superior team and have been playing well as a unit, recently. I don't think it will be even close. The Rovers to go on a 4-1 romp.

[Billy Castell]

Off the top of my head, my team would be:

Bunn

Salgado/Nelsen/Samba/Chimbonda

Emerton/Nzonzi/Pedersen

Dunn

Kalinic/Roberts

Or:

Bunn

Chimbonda/Nelsen/Samba/Olsson

Nzonzi/Emerton/

Hoilett/Pedersen (These are wingers by the way).

Dunn

Kalinic

Looking forward to the game, I think we'll do well.

[den]

Will Sam play two up front

No.

and go for the win?

Yes.

[1864roverite]

Experience is the key for Sunday.

Thats a stomach liner 0730, a cold lager at 0800 and 0830, macdonalds bacon and egg burglar at 0900, v and o for the journey into deepest east lancs, a beer at 1030 and a pie at 1200, should be okay to swtop the sickness rising !!!

[Billy Castell]

I have no idea how you can drink booze at 8 in the morning.

[Manc Rover]

GOING DOWN 4 EVER.... LUV ROVERS HA HA HA
