Burnley vs Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Risso]

Well, as has been said before, every fan base has they’re own set of morons,

Well, this is awkward.

[LeeB]

Oof, don't let the kids see that.

Olsen’s attempt to save their goal was odd. Was he even at full stretch?

I've watched it a couple of times and it does like he jumps and then doesn't do anything with his arms, but it's hard to know how fast/far the ball was going past him, maybe he wasn't getting it anyway. He made a decent save later on though, and really wasn't that troubled by them.

I think we need to be very string in defence when Olsen is playing, but I think we're capable of that. My worry with him as backup would really only be if Emi got injured in the warmup or something. I think a full week of training knowing Olsen is playing would allow everyone to prepare adequately.

Yeah Emery our very own puppeteer.

This appears to be what happened

A lot of pearl-clutching going on here. It's just fancunter. We sing the national anthem at them, they throw bricks at our players and staff. That's what fancunter is. We accuse Liverpool fans of being 'always the victim', Burnley fans hire a plane to deliver racist messages. It's all just fancuntery, you woke snowflake weirdos.

Think there is a bit of a difference between singing the national anthem at a match to wind Scots and scousers up, and throwing bricks at the windows of a team coach as it motors down a main road isn't there?

Yeah, his false equivocation falling flat.

You need to grow a pair mate. The lads of Big Talk didn't fanny around at Goose Green because of a few bricks. This is what we want, isn't it? Their lot having a go at our lot. It's just the fancunter as it was designed and meant to be. Don't clutch your pearls, get singing!

Are you OK?

[Monty]

Songs aren't the same as bricks.

[Clive W]

It's pronounced Kamara.

Thanks. That's good to know

And for those of you watching in black and white, the pink is behind the yellow

[Baldy]

I like it, feckin like it.

A professional performance, eased through a 'banana peel' of a trip and yet only 13 pages on the post match thread. Some of which are not match related.

Our fans expectation levels have rocketed up. Most of us expected to win and will expect villa to beat most of the teams in this league.

Not only has Unai transformed the team, he has transformed the fans!! It's almost like we are taking wins 'for granted'. Bit like Man City fans!!

Hopefully, them days of our nervousness being transmitted to the players on the pitch are behind us.

P.S. Well done Matty Cash, class performance.

There's a difference between wankery and violence, strikes me as a pretty important difference not to collapse!

Also - this isn't even a tit-for-tat attack on fans but a brick at the team, on the motorway! People could've died! Paddy, tell me you're on the windup here, this is not the same as singing a song.

Looking at their forum there is mention of an incident when our fans bricked their coaches in the car park at Villa Park as they left. I do have a vague recollection of this. So there may be some element of ‘tit for tat’.
Whilst throwing bricks at a vehicle moving at speed clearly adds some risk, throwing bricks through windows where people (including children) are inside could always end very badly.
As has been said, we all have our share of idiots.

Yeah I'm not in the tribalism thing, but it's not the players' fault for what fans do so it's still nonsense. Was really going after this 'it's the same as wanker songs' business.

That McGinn spin for the 3rd was so good. Best arse in football.

Cheating Stripey Bastard Rodriguez got the stick he deserves, although I thought he was offside for probably their best chance, but he was in a lot more space looking at MotD than I can fathom.

I couldn’t give a fuck how the denizens of Burnley voted or for that matter those of Birmingham. What did strike me about the place though was how poor the place felt, the lack of money that seemed to permeate the public realm. For a poor Northern mill town though in football terms they punch above their weight to be fair to them.

Well one of the reasons that many of their number, like many others, voted Leave was exactly due to lack of opportunities. Something lost on the working folk of Westminster and their £100 a head dinners.

Anyway your main point on fan base - incredible for town its size

Burnley's fan base extends well beyond the town. The towns further up the M65 like Nelson and Colne, Clitheroe and the Ribble Valley, over the Yorkshire border and places like Barnoldswick, Skipton, Keighley and Todmorden, the East Lancs towns in the Rossendale Valley.  Granted it's not a metropolitan area, but the statistic that Burnley has more season ticket holders per head of population or something like that doesn't factor in that the support actually comes from a wide geographical area.

Now changed. Spellchecker.
Not sure a typo and being told by liars to vote to be poorer and then doing it can be equated. Still football thread so we should draw a line.

Not too sure about that. There aren't many things worse than the Tories, but "they're" instead of "their" is one of them, IMHO.

As I've said before, it's almost twenty years since I walked through Burnley town centre and for the first time ever realised how people could vote BNP. When you've got nothing then a man in a smart suit smiles, tells you he understands you and agrees that the main parties have let you down, he'll likely get your vote. Then when the others tell you you're thick because you voted for him, you'll do it again.
