Burnley v Aston Villa Pre-Match

[Clampy]

We have a poor away record at Burnley and I csn't see that changing, 2-1 home win.

Was that an album track?

[Risso]

Since we've been back in the Premier League, we've won one and lost one up there, and the one we lost we shouldn't have, it was another Wolves style chucking it away performance. The way people are talking you'd think it was Man City away.

I think it's because we do tend to make hard work of playing against teams we should beat. I can understand why people might think it'll be a tough game.

For me it's the manner of our non-victories. On more than one occasion we've absolutely battered them and they've somehow scraped a draw or even a win. Our one win was somewhat Pyrrhic as they crocked our goalkeeper and centre-forward.

So they have a jinxy, jammy bastard feel to them. Coupled with being the sort of dirty shitebags we've often struggled against (2010s Stoke, 90s Leicester, 80s Wimbledon).

Still, I feel better about this after last week. Worst case scenario is we lose and it fucks Everton and/or Leeds up. We shouldn't have too much to worry about anyway.

There wasn't a Burnley player anywhere near Heaton, he fell back and knackered himself.

Think J10 of the M6 is shut too.

said on BBC website that you get off junction 10, drive over the island and straight back onto the motorway, but it's looking like traffic backing up already

Pain in the arse the roadworks on the M6. Average 50mph from 21 up to 26, so I'll jib the Rainford bypass and go 58 to M6. One of the few times being oop narf works out.

Only because he was trying to avoid Ben Mee.

Not for the first time this season, it'll hinge on whether or not our attackers have put their scoring boots on. For once, pleeeease Villa, bury the first chance we get. That'd make a huge difference.

That 1st half up there last year and some of the second half, was some of the most sublime football ive seen from Villa in 30 years, just tore them to shreads and Grealish had that run from the half way line that would of been goal of any season and somehow we threw it away and lost 3-2. Id take playing half as well as that and turning this lot over today.

Jeepers, I've just looked it up. We've got a better record at Old Trafford! ONE league win at Turf Moor since the war.

[levico]

Burnley win, obvs.

[Mister E]

A 43 mile drive for me: it's overcast and cool.
When we did beat them on NYD 2020, we played really well and they never really looked like beating us. Today, as others have said, it'll be whether we are mentally up for it or on the beach.

Another equally valid statement is that they've only beaten us at home in the league once in the last 50 years.

Ben Mee is on their coaching staff now. Realised he was too dirty to be a player.

I'm perfectly OK with one of our subs scissor tackling him on the touchline.

I think we're all agreed then that historically it's a fixture where being at home almost guarantees a point.
