Match Thread Burnley v Everton. Sunday Dec 26th. 3pm

So when's everyone supposed to show off their new Christmas gear?

I'd love to know how many Burnley players are injured and have covid. There probably are some, but it could be a total of three which
would make it very unfair to expect Everton to play the match, given the number of our players out.
Why isn't that number being talked about and reported?

That's it mate. I cant understand the pity being handed out to Burnley. It doesn't matter how much we've spent and got wrong. If players are ill they are ill. That's it. We are at a disadvantage. And Tuchel was right to point that out for Chelsea too when they had to play.

I just realized that Everton is not playing tomorrow and that blows. I was very much looking forward to seeing them play on Boxing Day.

Merry belated Christmas btw! X

It would have been silly with all the injuries and covid and whatnot but still.

Hope you had a nice Christmas too Sassy! X

Bit grim not having footy on Boxing Day.

But not as grim as having to watch Everton for 90 minutes.

Just thinking there's some relief in this. Remember going out for about 48 hours in Mexico for new year and managing to keep awake to watch us lose 2/0 to Hull. Destroyed what little of my soul remained

Unbeaten for three weeks now aren’t we?

No.

Burnley now have 4 games in hand, butfor it to be any good they have to win them. The neighbours (Pickerings old club) are hoping to get promoted to have derbies with them.

I remeber being at Ewood and seeing Pickering taking us on.

Like the virus would go anywhere near Burnley eewww

Burnley...... The final frontier, ???

Burnley...... The final frontier, ???

If we can lead it to there it will be bamboozled by what it sees and then just give up

Definitely, I totally get the reasoning behind it but I have missed the last two matches due to travelings so I was really looking forward to watch our Blues. Hopefully all the players will recover nicely and we will have a fit squad so we can dismember New Castle on Thursday lol

My Christmas was lovely, I hope yours was too, Dan. Xx

I can see it being postponed, too much snow up there its bound to be abandoned now we have just gone 2-0 up .....

No problem, they'll put the call out for volunteers to help clear the pitch I remember that being a thing way back. Fans would turn up at Goodison and help out getting rid of the snow.
