Sadly the 'Hat"is not making it

Of course it isn't - as you gave it away to that Portsmouth geezer on the way back from Stoke. He now has a dandruff problem (not) lol.

I'll say goodnight to you now for tomorrow.

Is Dan going?

COYY'S

The last U’s game of the 20th century - December 28th 1999

Burnley 3 ( Andy Payton hat-trick) Oxford U 2 ( Anthrobus, Whelan ).

Both teams had a Steve Davis featuring. Theirs was better than ours.

For some reason a Burnley fan was in the away end that day, celebrated loudly when they scored their first, and then tried fighting any steward who came near him. Took about ten of them to get him out iirc. Bizarre scenes.

I remember this. He was on my row. Was really odd.

Was on the "to do" list but the switch to midweek scuppered that.
Thick end of 3 hours up there is fine.
Getting back at 1 or 2 in the morning is for young folk.

I'm playing Matos and either Romeny/Bradshaw in place of RR & Harris. Otherwise as you were.

We know that Burnley can be shut down, so our best bet is to clog the middle, turn the game into a street fight and hope we can nick it with either a) a piece of brilliance from Dembele or Cheese, or b) a set piece

Their defense is absurd though, and precedence from this season would suggest that if you concede two goals to Burnley, you lose. So priority #1 is keep it tight.

Just popped out to the shops and 5 Live had a segment on Burnley. (I think I'm wrong here) but something like 0 goals conceded at home since December and plenty of 0-0 which we know of but by the sounds of it, the game will be as entertaining as a wet weekend in Southend during covid.

In the words of Jerome, I'd take a point.

No goals conceded anywhere in the league since December 21st. Eight clean sheets in a row.

But they've only scored eight goals themselves in those eight games - and five were against Plymouth.

It will be a game for enjoying the finer points of defensive organization!

What about a piece of cheese from a cheese set

Went on to buy a ticket for tomorrows game and realised that they have gone off sale.

Burnley have only won 6 of their 14 games at home, drawing the other 8. So they're not actually tearing up trees at Turf Moor. There is no reason why we can't go up there and get a result. 8 other teams have already done so.

People also said that there was no reason why we couldn’t beat Bristol City - their away form was poor, our home form was good, they had a man sent off… but we didn’t.

The point is, anything can happen!
