Aston Villa vs Burnley Pre-Match Thread

[richard moore]

I agree with the balanced team approach. One or two players definitely need a run out as others have said such as Sanchez, Senderos and Baker. It never works out if you rest everyone though it seems a good idea in theory of course.

Think it will be a draw, ranging from a boring 0-0 as both teams' minds will be elsewhere to an entertaining 2-2, pretty much for the same reason!

Message for Mr Woodhall.  Will H&V hard copies be on sale pre-match on Sunday outside Villa Park?

I'd start with Howard Hodgson.

Howard Hodgson would start with Howard Hodgson.

Howard Hodgson has prepared a report on Howard Hodgson and it is now on the desk of Howard Hodgson awaiting the approval of Howard Hodgson.

It simply says "Howard Hodgson is a good-looking actor."

like to think we will win so we can finish as high as possible but at the same time don't want to risk anyone before the final. 1-1 draw

I have every intentions of doing so.  Where is your pitch?  You can direct me to the others if you'd be good enough.  Looking forward to it.

Trinity Road. Being nervous.

I love dead games like this. You can sit back and watch knowing you are safe. Hopefully we will see a lot of new faces and both teams turn on the style for what is effectively a training match. Looking forward to it!

I hope this is like that game vs Sheff Utd a few seasons back. Champagne football at Villa Park. Beautiful day, European cup winners all over the gaff, star on the pitch, lovely passing, flowing football, and even a wonder goal by Patrik Berger!!

I hope Callum Robinson gets a run out because they've pulled him back from the play off final to have a look at him. It seems only fair that we do actually have a look at him!

No stupid suspensions or injuries please... I'll go for 2-2 Sinclair, Gabby.

Usually on Witton Lane by the North Stand gates, but we do get played out of position occasionally.

It's all about shits and giggles on Sunday.

1-0 to Villa

It's all about shits and giggles on Sunday.

1-0 to Villa

And potentially £3 million.

You're think you're going to shift that much?
