Burnley v Aston Villa Match Thread

[Gerrin]

Torres seems to be settling in nicely. You can see he has an air of authority about him.

He's looked quality so far.

[Dave]

Incidentally, we've been saying for ages that we're too reliant on Watkins for goals and that the midfield and defence need to step up a bit - well that's now seven goals in two and bit league games and none for Watkins.

All good stuff.

[KNVillan]

Has PWS gone to the loo?

Changing the batteries on his tranny.

Could be a joke there…but you’re not going to drag one out of me

[jwarry]

We do look lethal when we break

[Percy McCarthy]

Never heard of a full back getting a hat trick before

A few Villa defenders have managed it but never while playing for us.

As I said earlier - Stan Lynn. Open play is not the criteria for a hat-trick.

[Keeno]

This looks like a top 4 team turning up and doing the business... we've been on the end of this performance so many times in the last 10 years. God this is enjoyable

[AV84]

Run them ragged for 60 minutes and then put Zaniolo on, I think.

[Monty]

I'm bored.

[PeterWithesShin]

We play some amazing stuff

[Bad English]

Some of the faces in the crowd. Not only are they having to watch their team being ripped to shreds, after the game they have to leave the stadium and live in Burnley.

[Steve67]

For those of you watching, how is Diaby playing please?

[lovejoy]

I’d like a third.

[AV84]

I’d like a third.

This half, and then 3 more in the second half.

[mrfuse]

For those of you watching, how is Diaby playing please?

He looks the real danger man popping up with pace and is scaring them to death. Nothing has quite come off for him just yet.

I shouldn't do, but made me laugh.
