Rant Box: Chelsea v Burnley

By: Jack | August 28th, 2009

Remember the last time we played the Clarets? Maybe the picture below will help jog your memory.

Last season. Carling Cup. Another penalty shootout calamity. Lets move on, shall we?

Saturday’s meeting at Stamford Bridge will be the first between the two sides in a league fixture since the 1982-83 season. Each won at home that term.

Burnley are off to a flyer in its return to the top flight. Wins over Manchester United and Everton in the same week? Well done, Clarets. Chelsea, meanwhile, have won their opening three matches. How significant is that, you ask? Look below.

Fact of the day: The last two seasons when Chelsea won its opening three Premier League games — 2004-05 and 2005-06) — the Blues went on to win the league.

Potential Lineups (via the Guardian):

  Jack, don’t let these guys get to you. I think people see a trend now and like to get a reaction out of you.

  Mornin, hopefully a good day for some football. I just hope that this doesn’t turn into another Fulham game. Guess I should also thank the hungry cat for waking me up at 5am for the 745 game. :makes note to find what channel the game is on today:

  wow arsenal was robbed… should not be a penalty if u just kick the ball out of bounds and plan the contact… poor arsenal really deserved at least a draw in this one…
