Thank god I'm not the only one. This is probably the last game I'd like us to open the season with. I'd take City away over this in all honesty because promoted sides on opening days, especially in Northern shithole towns care the living crap out of me.

They'll be up for this, they'll have superhuman levels of stamina, the crowd will make the ground very claustrophobic and it looks like it's going to rain too. Excited but bricking it.

Actually if you look at every match, everyone had tough games, first rounds are always tough - especially for big teams because their players normally join the pre-season later (even worse in a WC year). Mid and bottom table teams have been training with most of their players for longer, and then all the factors you pointed out in your previous post.

That's why last year I was very happy we drew ManUtd in the third or second fixture. It's better to face a big team early in the competition... our 3-4 first fixtures are all challenging imo - which could eventually help us in the 5th day-match against City away.

If Mikel starts, I'm going to be very sad.

i will try and get some video footage of our fans tomorrow and the chants. I will also get some pictures and footage from the concourse at HT and before the game.

I will post it when I get back home/Tuesday for you all.

Obviously I would take a 1-0 win, but I'd love for us to win comfortably and send out a message, seeing as Arsenal, Liverpool and City only just scraped wins.

Anyone know much about the Burnley squad?

They're a very solidly run team with a very careful, conservative manager. I don't think it'll be a goalfest at all, think we'll nick a 1-0 or 2-1.

1-0 Goal by Terry, Cesc with the assist.
