Burnley v Aston Villa Pre-Match

[Deano's Mullet]

Didn't Mee see off Grealish last season as well?

No, Grealish didn't play for 3 months after the game at Brighton in February.

[Meanwood Villa]

Win this and we're pretty much mathematically safe

[Deano's Mullet]

Ah I thought it was at Burnley he got hurt. I can remember people decades old stuff like Shaun Teale getting injured by fish tanks and John Fashanu leaving the ground for emergency dental work but more recent stuff can be a blur sometimes.

Using my big calculator for little fingers...

If they win all their games..
Burnley & Leeds can have 46 and Everton get 47

Which means Villa, Brentford & Southampton need 6 points from their last games to be safe, but thats not really how it goes.

If Everton just get 9 points ( and thats pushing it) V,B & S need only 1 or 2 points. Win or draw at Burnley and we should be safe
And I think Everton are "doomed"

[dave.woodhall]

If we don't lose to Burnley we're even safer than we are now.

[Lastfootstamper]

No "should be" about it with a win, really. We'll be nine points ahead of them with only three games left, and they'd need to overhaul a GD of at least 15 to get past us on that metric.

[Allan C]

They’re better without Dyche and have the so called “momentum” but still think we’ll get something here. 1-1 for me

[Goldenballs]

A tough tight game, hopefully our class will show. Buendia to start ahead of Phil, I'd get Marv in too.

Hopefully Mee rips his foreskin in his jeans zip.

[AlexAlexCropley]

Time for Phil to shine.No excuses.

I can see Burnley winning this one due to the circumstances and it's away.
I think could be different story if needed the points but match more important to them and expecting some disjointed performance with Gerrard bemoaning how our players aren't aggressive enough.
Would like this season finished to be fair and just see what ca be achieved next season
Been underwhelming have to say and gonna be more of this till end of season in my eye

[ASHTONVILLA]

Big win for Villa, goals from Coutinho, Watkins and Ings plus a third successive clean sheet.

Did Norwich not need the points more than us?

[RamboandBruno]

Burnley will fancy staying up as they are playing us twice and for all intents and purposes we are possibly/maybe/probably on the beach…at least a little bit.
Not sure football always works out like that and despite their good run their near the bottom because their players aren’t that good. They may just have hit form too early. With the run ins i actually fancy Everton to get out of this and the final
Place to be between Burnley and Leeds. Leeds have a horrendous run in with Arsenal, Chelsea and an in form Brighton.
Anyway a sneaky 3-1 Villa in the image of Sheff Weds 2019, a couple of late goals from Ings and an earlier one from Watkins.

Martinez
Digne
Mings
Chambers

Burnley do have momentum, are at home and aren't as shit, in fairness.
