[Football] Turf Moor Thriller Tonight

[JOLovegrove]

I think it should be quite a good game.

Wasn't long ago we were a team in this kind of position, and could quite easily be there again if things go slightly wrong.

Burnley vs Luton better known as 19th plays 18th on a cold January night at Turf Moor, would imagine the TV companies have been fighting over this one...

While I anticipate a decent game it could be that as the TV companies are obliged to show each team a minimum number of times they have decided to cross two lesser lights off the list in one go freeing them up to screen other more attractive fixtures.

 

[Napper]

decent game , proper 6 pointer

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but 1969 was over half a century ago

Lest we forget, 1918?
Agincour for a dislike of the French, 1400s?
Both go back way more than 50 years.
Some folk have long memories, good and bad ...

I can hear them now:

[Sky speaking to TNT rep] “You broadcast it!”
[TNT speaking to Sky rep] “No, you broadcast it!!”
[Sky rep] “No, you take it!”
[TNT rep] “No, you!!!”
Both negotiators pause for a minute and then say in unison…
[Sky / TNT] “Perhaps we could get the game moved to Amazon’s week?”


Joking aside, with so much riding on the result it could be a very good game.

Or it may not.

 

[Stat Brother]

A Luton win puts them 3 points behind palace.


Just sayin.

I was sat in a bar in France during the Rugby World Cup, listening to this French guy tell me how poor our team was and that we had no chance in the tournament.

I said to him in my best Franglais that sometimes the underdog finds out a way to win and surprises everyone. ‘ Like when?‘ he said.

‘How about Agincourt‘, I replied.

They asked for the bill and left soon afterwards, I felt I had made my point well enough at the risk of some damage to the Entente Cordiale however!!

Just sayin.

And also drops Everton into the relegation zone where they belong.

But I don't like Luton, so there's the silver lining if they don't win.

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

See someone describe it as the XL Bully derby

Could have thrown in Waterloo for good measure too ...

 

[Paris]

Well it's either this or Hull v Norwich on Sky, what ya gonna pick?

Aaron Connolly v Ashley Barnes...and it's LIVE!

You could have chucked in Crecy, Poitiers, Blenheim, Minden, Malplaquet, Trafalgar, any argy bargy in North America, losing the 2012 Olympic Games bid to London, Jonny Wilkinson booting them to defeat in 2003 and 2007, the England pack punching their lights out in the 1991 RWC . . . . Mon dieu! Sacre Bleu! Filthy Ros Bifs!

 

[kojak]

4-4 crackerjack of a match

Exactly that, you know if you swerve it

It'll be a goalfest

Did you stick two fingers up at him on his way out?

And a competition to see who can bring the largest number of their enormous local British Asian fan base to the stadium!

Oh.....hang on...

 

[um bongo molongo]

Why are there so many TNT Sports games this weekend? 1 tonight and 2 tomorrow. Do they know I’ve cancelled my subscription now there’s a few months till we play in Europe again?

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

I should add that I'll deffo be watching. I can remember staring through my parked car window in the rain, and through the window of Rumbelows, to watch a first division live game, back in the day when my telly was so crap it was impossible to tell one player from another or see where the ball was. Bumley V Luton in HD? Yes sir. You betcha, sir.

 

[phoenix]

I will never forget where we come from so i shall sit down and watcch what i hope will be a good game of football.
