On paper today’s home clash with Burnley looks a cakewalk. They are yet to win away from home, picking up just one point from fourteen away games this season, and currently have the worst away record this season. Meanwhile our home record is strong, our performances in the last couple of games has been good […]
Some linky goodness to tie you over until tomorrow: Carlos Vela scored a goal for Mexico against New Zealand midweek, but also went off injured.
