Burnley v Aston Villa Pre-Match

[RamboandBruno]

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.

I think its called supporting a team that doesn’t win every week. I have a hope that we’ll win most games every season, there are very few where beforehand i think we’ll definitely lose.
Im well aware that statistically and historically this is completely delusional and irrational.  But unless your a glory hunting twat, e.g. a brummie wearing. Liverpool shirt (swap for any of the sky super six), then supporting a team is a bit irrational, its the hope and all that.
On this sunnyish Thursday afternoon, i dont care that we haven’t played that well for 5 or 6 weeks, or that Burnley have pulled some results out the bag lately, today I believe we’ll win on Saturday and for the moment thats good enough for me.

Aston Villa is my religion; Villa Park is my church.

Good to see the word "gumtion (sic)"  being used on H&V. Shows proper gumption.

[Risso]

Yes, it’s impossible to imagine how we’ll beat a team below us in the table who have been shit for almost the entire season.

[Villa Lew]

Burnley's remaining games after this one are Spurs away, Villa away and Newcastle home, so clearly they are looking at this match as a 'must win match'. From listening to the Norwich game on Villa TV and from what I've heard elsewhere and also Burnley's recent form, we almost certainly need an improved performance. if we are to get anything from the match.

[Footy-Vill]

Exactly I'm taking the logical process regards this game to dampen any disappointment.
Burnley have won their last 3 home matches but to even things out regards our quality Vs circumstances maybe a draw despite my thoughts of a loss.
I still have days to come round to think a win but just a bit loss faith at the moment with team and direction

[ChicagoLion]

I think we will struggle away but beat them at home.

Hope you don't mind my correction.

Hope you do come round. We need your optimism.

In fairness they spent a large chunk of their existence nowhere near as shit as a club of their size should be, and decidedly less shit than our nearest and dearest, admittedly a low bar.

Because to misquote Motorhead, Live to Win, Born to lose.
I want Villa to win every game and certainly dont prescribe to the glass half empty, all is doomed view. We have been shocking this season at times but lets not write ourselves off yet.

Weren't Burnley like half-decent in the 60's or so ?
