We had a new year change of rules Big BB you keep starting the thread until we win that way we know who to blame when we don’t win. I have completed my service and SITF has picked up the shitty stick for the away match at Burnleylaland

Are you still angling for votes?

Talking of that when is the award ceremony? Is it going to be held at Wembley to coincide with a proper trophy that we are going to pick up this year.

Lawro really is a cunt of the highest order

Burnley v Southampton

Southampton played very well in their win over Liverpool in the first leg of their EFL Cup semi-final on Wednesday, but they don’t frighten teams away from home.

Six of their nine goals on the road this season came in the two wins they have managed so far - at West Ham and Bournemouth. In their other eight games they have managed just three more.

Burnley are a top-five team based on their results at Turf Moor so, weighing all of that up, this might seem like a home banker.

But you cannot expect the Clarets to win every home game they play, which is why I throw in a draw for them every now and again.

Lawro’s prediction: 1-1

Sounds quite fair to be honest. Burnley are a decent team at home, a point would be a good result

Seems like he lost the will to finish what he was talking about ‘which is why I throw in a draw every now and then’. Lazy, like the BBC website in general. Lazy journalism!

Nope. We should be looking to win, but 2 years ago we lost 1-0 and missed a pen, and they were utter shit that season. This season they are good at home and dispatched a couple of handy sides.

I would take a scrappy 0-1 win or even an entertaining draw.

Really we should be hammering them.

I’ll go for an overly optimistic Goaty prediction: 0-3.
