Worrying. We know what that could mean...

First home game in a month and only the second 3pm home game of the season. With storm Eunice having blown the cobwebs away, time to watch another win for the Albion at the Amex

I hope the above but one post is right and we have 3 points today.... but , it will be hard. Burnley are a tough muscle team that play with more brawn than brain... just the sort we struggle with . The weather forecast is wind and rain that will make crosses and high balls a lottery . The Liverpool manager said he was delighted to get a 1 nil victory.. I hope we can do the same....

Too many bad memories of Burnley at home

Equaliser in the last minute (twice I think?) very dodgy decisions by a ref that gifted them a 3-1?

I won’t relax until the final whistle even if we are 3-0 up as we go into added time :wink:

Looking like it will be very difficult for me to get to the Amex today due to travel issues. If anybody is a myalbion+ member and wants a ticket… let me know.

Judging by this don’t think many of them will bother

“It’s a long way to Brighton, then a pain in the rear to get to the ground, then a crappy view, expensive beer and a nightmare getting away on the train. Go on the bus or avoid. Oh, and their a right sensitive lot as well but give it out plenty. Team supported by Millennials, that would explain their sudden rise in supporters!
Looked at hotels for the night of the game, £300, must be half “


Also one of their ITK reckons Tarkowski is out with covid
