Sat 11th May: Burnley (H) - 3pm

[ClemFandango]

Absolutely vital we win this one. This and the last game next week against Sheffield United will be the two we need to guarantee Europa League football next season.

If we can somehow rob 3 points from City in the week, there's still a tiny slither of a chance we can get Champions League as well.

 

[Strikegold]

I'm expecting a tough game with Burnley fighting for survival but I'm hoping we just click and score loads.

 

[Strikegold]

Attacking team pick ..go for it.

CL? That's what I called Spurs tinted glasses! Even VAR with their electron offside spotting microscopes would struggle to spot that gnat's pube of a chance. OK, of course it's still not impossible, but I am not betting any of my euros on it. If the FA grew a pair and docked city the same sort of points they have applied to less minted clubs and sent them down a league or three then maybe, but us winning all three of our remaining games and the Dippers not letting Villa win by 30 goals just to make sure we didn't make the CL?

Burnley are going to throw everything into this game, they still have a slim hope of not being relegated, this won't be an easy game - can this team beat them?

[HighValueMan]

Can't stand watching Johnson's end product for £47m

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

We are an open door at the back.

Again.

 

[ClemFandango]

Cracking goal from them. Nothing from us so far.

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

This isn’t anything to do with Ange’s system. This is just dumb errors from guys who need to be better.

 

[Havocc]

Low block and counter when we over commit.

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

Bissouma is a myth.

There’s a reason Brighton let him go for fuck all (relatively).

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

Good strike.

 

[HighValueMan]

Great goal from Porro

 

[ClemFandango]

Wow ! Get the fuck in

 

[Strikegold]

Porro gets one on target.

 

[Havocc]

Porro will only score 2 goals a season, but they will both be belters

 

[Strikegold]

Skippy needs help, he is being targeted .

 

[Havocc]

At least the endeavour is there

 

[Strikegold]

Burnley have to go for it, hope they leave themselves open.

 

[ClemFandango]

Kulusevski has been quite poor this half

 

[HighValueMan]

So we get a free kick in shooting range and pass it about a bit?

 

[ClemFandango]

That miss just woke me up

 

[Havocc]

To be fair, I would have missed that

 

[ClemFandango]

Mickey !!!

 

[HighValueMan]

VdV playing like VdV

 

[Strikegold]

Oh joy, Vdv.

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

That’s a genuinely magical goal.

 

[Strikegold]

Vdv striker !!

 

[Havocc]

Ha! VDV is our most talented LB

 

[ClemFandango]

Sonny playing in his natural position and it’s showing

 

[Strikegold]

We should be out of sight
