Burnley V Tottenham CC Semi Final Match Thread

[slimboydim]

Good Afternoon, Tomorrow evenings trip to Turf Moor sees us trying
to reach the Carling Cup Final for the second successive season.
We carry a 4-1 lead in to the game which kicks off at 7.45.
There is live coverage on Sky here in the UK.
Team News, Steven Caldwell is Suspended, Thompson Cup Tied.
We have Ben Alnwick making his first team debut, with Gomes
out through injury. Ledley, Corluka, Lennon, and Jenas are
also missing, as well as long termer Hutton. Bentley will
start right midfield...
First twenty minutes will be vital, any sniff of weakness and
the home fans will be right up for this. We should progress,
but have a habit of making it tough for ourselves.
Away goals count double after extra time, so Burnley
would go through, with a 3-0 win.
The winners of our game will play the victors of tonight's
Semi at Old Trafford. Derby lead 1-0 but United are favourites
to progress.

Good Luck...

I would love to see Gio get a run around as well as bostock. We will need to maintain some strength and experience in the squad but can't see any reason why we can't play these guys. It would be ideal if we got an early goal.

I am excited about the derby game tonight

There is absolutely no chance of us failing to get through to the final so we should play lots of youth players like Alnwick and Bostock. It will be interesting to see these type of players perform.

We have to play our strongest team tomorrow night, Burnley have got nothing to lose and will throw the kitchen sink at us tomorrow.
Youth players will buckle under the pressure. Alnwick is the only youngster we have to play, and that is all i would do to the side if i was Arry.
Dont think we will win tomorrow, but we will go through on aggregate.
Burnley 2 -1 Spurs.

Alnwick, Gunter, Dawson, Zokora, Bale, Bostock, Ohara, Jenas, Bentley, Gio, Campbell. A bit of a weird team and lightweight but good enough I reckon to see us through without risking too much. I don't think we can afford to risk the first team.

Do you honestly think we are going to progress here with a weakn'd side . They have knocked out the scum chelskie and fulham . Forget the 3 goal cushion , they are playing for a trip to Wembley , and so are we . get real guys please .

I don't think we can afford to risk the first team.

We can't afford to risk the first team except Darren Bent

[Pitseleh]

I would have thought harry will put a better team out for this one than against the manure game at the weekend, and then maybe if this one looks comfortbale bring on some youngsters second half. im pretty sure taraabt, bostock, gunter, bentley campbell and huddlestone (is he fit?) will all get a crack.

I'm excited about tonights game too! CMON DERBY!!

[slimboydim]

Good Evening, I would think pretty strong tomorrow, then rest on
Saturday, next Tuesday is big against Stoke.

[P UNIT 1980]

The bigger game is against Stoke. We need a full strength team there.

This is the perfect opourtunity for Arry to see if any of the "also-rans" have the minerals to do a job in the first team.

Give the kids a run Arry but have enough on the bench just in case!!!

You have your orders.....P UNIT out!!!

[Seajay]

I'd put out a strong team tomorrow and the kids against Manure on Saturday. We're too close to this one to throw it away but I reluctantly think we need to forget the FA Cup this year.

[thfcire]

on another note please tell me alan smith the nonce isnt commentating on our game tomorrow night as i cant listen this antispurs knob any longer shouldnt be allowed to even speak about spurs but we seem to get him every week id love to punch his big nose all over his horse face fingers crossed i get a chance at wembley now im off to hatch a cunning plan ha ha

[thfcshady27]

if we mess this up now i dunno how ill cope!!!!

only 90 mins away from my dream final and we have a 3 goal lead.......

we cant mess this up.......can we?

[thfcire]

we better not or im in the sh1t big time

[Gio_Dos Santos]

Alnwick, Gunter, Dawson, Zokora, Bale, Bostock, Ohara, Jenas, Bentley, Gio, Campbell. A bit of a weird team and lightweight but good enough I reckon to see us through without risking too much. I don't think we can afford to risk the first team.

So Gio will play. I can't wait to see him play again
