Burnley v Aston Villa Pre-Match

[cdbearsfan]

Plus we always beat Norwich and we rarely beat Burnley. We should beat these hod carriers home and away, mind.

[Matt C]

Nailed on home win.

[Three Spires Villa]

0-0 another clean sheet

[Bobby Boy]

1-1. We'll take the lead in the first half and they'll level in the second.

Would be a decent point.

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.

Yep, that’s how memory works, pal. I can remember the score and most of the scorers from every Cup Final in the 80s, but I’m patchy from about 2002 onwards.

Marked this as a defeat in the ‘Our run in’ thread, with a total of 4 points.
I always tend to mark low for us when predicting, so anything else is a bonus.

They’re on a good run at the moment, but it will end as they’re not a great team. Why not us?

I can do that with Villa games between 88 to maybe 2007 ish. Although the championship seasons I remember quite vividly too, even the first one which was the worst.

[darren woolley]

I'm going to this I reckon we will win 2-1

[JD]

A tough 1-0 win for Villa.

[Brend'Watkins]

They will be well up for it, we have no pressure as such just that we need to have the best possible finish to the season we can.  We should win but a draw is the likely outcome.

[Behind Bluenose Lines]

Win this and we're pretty much mathematically safe

This, but it's one of our bogey grounds though.

[eamonn]

An octogenarian Joe Cole once scored for us there in a team that probably also contained Kieron Richardson and Karim El Ahmadi. On that basis, I possess a renewed confidence.

[robbo1874]

Gone for a Villa win. Scrappy 1-2. 3 pts - JD.

[Smirker]

Time we beat these.

3-1 Villa.

Interested to know what grounds have people on Villa winning this one. I mean what's the basis exactly?
I know every game is essential, and literally a one off on the day, as it were but, away at Burnley who are very much on the incline- as opposed to our disjointed lack of coherence and tepid displays for a full 90mins, well I don't see we have gumtion for the win. Perhaps true, purely based on playing personnel well yes technical, we win but, I see a greater issue with our team just now . It's the style of play and slow pondering tedium that occurs in our games.

I want the season over and have mild hopes and intrigue for summer ahead and what may be possible next season.
Up the Villa.
