Aston Villa v Burnley Post Match Thread

[Risso]

Martinez booked again too, he must be closing in on a suspension

Nowhere near. Four bookings now, so as long as he doesn't get another 6 for the rest of the season he'll be fine. The 5 bookings thing only applies for the first half of the season.

I get the distinct impression that Martinez will get to 9 bookings by the last game of the season absolutely on purpose. He tends to get one exactly when we need it to waste time.

I'm so pleased we got the three points.

The Burnley lot don't seem to rate Aaron Ramsey at all from the match thread on there forum. Apparantly responsible for a few they've conceded this season.

I've only seen them play twice, so have no idea how he's doing.

Met a Burnley STH at the cricket in WI recently who says he liked the look of him in what they've seen. But then he spoilt it by saying that their best ever signing was Westwood. Nowt as queer as folk so they say.

100%. He bloody loves it.

VAR needs to have a time limit. If you cannot tell within 30-45 seconds a major error or a clear miss of an infraction has been made by the on pitch officials then go with the original decision.

For all the stick Westwood took, he spent ten years as a Premier League regular so for the money they paid, he may well be their best signing.

They asked me the same? I thought it was odd as obviously I didn’t.

Fucking hell that was hard work. Not just us and not taking our chances but my stream was jumping forwards and backwards through time. I felt like I was in an episode of Lost and Desmond was about to turn up for tea.

UTV and Happy New Year!

So, you weren't at VP?

We must be inferior fans in their eyes.

We must be. I must be extremely inferior, I haven’t been for years.

Yeah can't disagree Dave (like I'd dare haha) but I also can't get Preston away under Di Matteo out of my head.

Attwell stared at Duran for ages before giving it,

No, no, no. Attwell played advantage, watched what McGinn was going to do and when John turned away from goal instead of shooting (bloody clever)  he confirmed his decision that it was a pen. Watched it, like you, from Witton End upper centre.

Martinez has until the 32nd game to get to 9, he should piss that. And then he's got the final 6 games of the season to rack up yet another 5 without sanction.

I see a lot of angry opposition players and fans in our future.

Yes you are and you both MUST attend at McGregor statue tomorrow morning and seek forgiveness.

[olaftab]

let’s have him back on loan please

Maaaate, get a grip. I hope the boy succeeds but he's not for us.

[Ian.]

Ha ha! But fucking hell, I’ll get lost in Birmingham, it’s been that long.

[RamboandBruno]

Of all the things to get booked for, FFS. We need to cut out absolutely pointless bookings like that.

I know you are right on this, but part of me admires the fact he stuck up for his bro.
