Aston Villa vs Burnley Pre-Match Thread

[Smirker]

Remember how many thought this would be a winner takes all decider? Now it's just a warm up for us to win the FA Cup.

Aye.
I was convinced we were dead and buried, as for reaching an F.A. Cup Final...don't make me laugh.
Sherwood has completely turned our world around.
Thanks Tim.x

I want to take Tim's clothes off.

Isn't it completely ace that for the first time in absolutely ages we can go into a game with zero stress? With really the only concern being getting through the game injury free. Such a relaxing way to spend the weekend.

Fun isn't it? It would be lovely to spend all of a season like this.

Absolutely TV! Nice to wake up this morning and not be filled with dread for the first time this year!
Really looking forward to tomorrow's game a cracking atmosphere and a good send off for the boys.

This time next week we'll be half way to winning the FA Cup too, unreal after the season we've had.

UTV!!

No stress? Like last week never happened and a cup final next weekend. Don't worry, I'll do the stressing for you.

don't care one jot about last week. In fact I'm pretty sure last week turned out exactly as we had hoped. And given we were heading directly to hell a couple of months ago, next week is a wonderful way to end the season. I'll only be stressed with a minute to go with a 2-1 lead and Arsenal looking to tie things up...

3-2 Villa.  Benteke, Grealish and Cole for us.  Ings and Barnes for them.

With both teams fates sealed I can see it being an open game.  Our defence looks very dodgy right now so I can see Burnley getting some luck on the counter attack.  But can see manager and players both wanting to put last week behind us and go out on a high at home.  Overall I see us having a bit too much going forward for them and I think the home crowd should help the players which might not have been case if we needed a result.

Even though Burnley are gone, I think we need to show them the respect they've earned and deserved this season.

[Toronto Villa]

I agree. And smash them back up the motorway.

[silhillvilla]

I'd be happy with a solid 2-0 and us finishing 14th with the extra £3.5m prize money.

And me. I hope we declare when we score the 10th.

And don't forget to pick up your copy of H&V before the game folks.

[Legion]

From me PWS because he is ace both of us.

well its a full house tomorrow, and just want the boys on the pitch to be safe not get injured, whereas I think we need a bit of choir practice so would be good to have the four sides of the ground making a bit of noise.
