It may be tougher than we expect but we should have enough for a win.
If anything else, our match fitness should be far superior. We've played three times since their last game ( which was also their first and only game so far of the season).They played Man U in a friendly yesterday and won 3-0
They already played at home opening Friday night v Ci£y 0-3It may be tougher than we expect but we should have enough for a win.
I’d agree with this. We should have too much for them but they’re a different team under Kompany and they’ll be up for it in their first home game since promotion.

Sure i read they beat Redfilth in a behind closed doors friendly 3-0 as they have not played since losing to |Cite£
Im not sure they are the dirty fucking cloggers that Dyche had up there but feel that we should have enough to take the sting out of their early pressure to take control of the game.
3pts would be very welcome

Burnley under Kompany are a VERY different beast than they were under Dyche. They played most Championship sides off the park last season, playing possession-based football, moving the ball with plenty of fluidity and creativity. However, it's obviously easier to pass it around someone like Preston, than it is to pass it around premier league side.
I think it will be much closer than people think. I wouldn't read too much into the Man City result. I'd take a win by a single goal, definitely.
If they can impose the same playing style they deployed in the Championship, I could see them being comfortably mid-table this season.
Burnley really shouldn’t be spoken with in the same breath as the villa

Just looked at their team who started against Man City. I’d heard of one of them, Berge. We’re going to funeral them.Stop being pessimistic so and so.

I think this will be a really hard game actually. Would be delighted to be proved wrong, but I think Burnley have a lot of ways to cause us problems and we'll need to be on it.

It's tricky alright, but score early and I think we'll go through them with something like Risso's prediction.
Would be very nice to get three points on Sunday and then finish the job off against Hibs before sporraning Liverpool at Anfield prior to the international break.FTFY

It's fan culture and banter, apparently, which can be remembered by using the handy portmanteau 'fancunter'.

Does this mean we have to have respect for that bus stop in Sandwell too? As I'd rather not.
I'd like to see Dave W's H&V classic fancunter post about the Albion now, one of the genuine joys of the site.

Speaking of the Sandwell bus stop, there's a distinct feel of Tony Mowbray's West Barcelona Albion about this lot as well, and I may be proven wrong but I think they'll go the same way.
Miles tougher game than the last two.i can see a defeat unless the defending improves
They've only played Man. City so far so hard to judge their level but think it will be a frustrating 2-2.
Tayto Cheese & Onion + Irish Cadburys chocolate are the best things ever. Get Maine soft drinks (though I guess they might be from the north?) off the milkman and they're bloody lovely, specially the green cream soda :)I'm back in Ireland this weekend primarily for the Chocolate Mikados.

Perfectly fine, but I'd go for TK Red Lemonade and original Tayto.

Yeah I'm in the same boat. They might actually be decent, so I'll reserve judgement though until after Sunday.

Have a feeling we will deliver a reality check of PL football to them. They seemed very loose out of possession v City, granted Haaland was in fine fettle. Just think we should be too strong in midfield again, 0-3.
I had it for the first time when i was working up in Glasgow earlier in the year, not bad, but didnt make me hard as nails as per the old adverts

You'll do for me Bronte, stay on the line and we'll send you a Bronx hat.
I'm just being cautious. I saw a few of their games last year and they looked decent. They seem keen on the press and have a bit of pace. Glad they didn't get a confidence booster at Luton.
Red lemonade is a great shout BV. Although Ive only ever had it as a kid on holiday in Dublin. We always go over to the Westport area as thats where my wifes family are from and Ive never seen it there, unless I havent been looking hard enough.

Taytos are great especially the Cheese and Onion, but in Ireland Hunky Dorys rule
Ha its not often you're the one filling me with pre-game optimism! Was ignorant of that spine change. We're so strong in midfield that I'm hopeful their press won't be up to scratch.if we can handle their press and play through it, we'll be in behind numerous times - if we take our chances, we'll win.
Felt McGinn against Everton went up a few gears and that physical side of things played dividend. He'll be important Sunday.
You can't get this anymore, thankfully.
Looked like a bottle of stout & tasted like a bottle of dirty dish water.

I'd have thought it was more a 'country' thing with TK Red fairly widely available down here. Certainly most of the pubs would have red lemonade on hand to put in the whiskey.

I could kind of understand it if you preferred King crisps. Hunky Dory's are fine (I'll have the odd bag of Flamne Grilled Steak) but mid-tier for me.

Ill hunt it out in between pints of Guinness
Emery has said injury to Martinez is minimal….in Villa speak that means we’re unlikely to see him play before next season!!We are very lucky to have the Swedish number 1 as replacement so no worries.
They're all made by Tayto (Rep. Of Ireland), of course, not to be confused with Nordie Mr Tayto.

We once had a (blind) Tayto Taste-Off at work in Cayman (ROI Tayto is sold in the supermarkets there) as the staff from Norn iron reckoned theirs was better. Much to our chagrin the Nordie Tayto won.
Olsen playing so Burnley 3 Villa ?
Just the interview with Emery today, Ive got a feeling Zaniolo might start? Perhaps instead of Bailey, whose been good the last couple of games, but generally struggles away from home?He confirmed zaniolo is available for selection so fingers crossed

Beat Burnley and we're top 6. For me it'll feel like we're up and running.
International break just round the corner as well ffs.

I think this will be tricky. So I predict a 1-1 draw. I'll be glad when JJ and Moreno are fit. A bit concerning that JJ is still wearing a protective boot. That broken Metatarsal seems a bad one.
I look at Burnley’s back 5 and it does lack top level experience as a unit. I think we’ll win.
I like to have a read through the opposition forum before games , to get their take on the match etc.just another standard day in Burnley ;D

Tinned sliced mushrooms in water ? Why ?
What is wrong with buying them fresh, slicing and preparing them yourself ? Better value and a lot more nutritious.
I suppose it's to be expected in these northern outpost towns stuck in the 1970s. Successive governments have tried to help them become healthier and more sophisticated. A lot of them even started voting Conservative but I guess they will always revert to type.
