Villa v Burnley match thread

[Murger]

I'm nervous as ****.

[tiger76]

Guess if Tarks is not 100% it’s worth the risk. Worst case if he breaks down we bring Lowton on and revert to the system at Spurs. It’s time to put our chips on the table Gallagher on bench for Palace !!

Yes disappointing to see Gallagher not starting for Palace, Keane does start for Everton, no real surprise as they only have 2 fit centre backs at present.

I notice the Everton game starts 15 minutes ahead of ours, I know it probably won't make any difference, but surely we should be kicking off at the same time to preserve the integrity of the league.

[derryclaret]

Evening all, not sure my heart will stand this game, if I don't make it it's been nice knowing you all
COYC!!!!

[SussexDon1inIreland]

Come on Burnley

[FCBurnley]

Bookies think we will stay up. Leeds are odds on to be relegated. We are about 7/4 and Everton 8/1.

[mkmel]

It's 2.40am here in the Philippines and 25 degrees.

My wife has just gone to sleep so I will try my very best to not wake her by shouting out every time that we score!

Come on you Clarets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Come on you Clarets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope you wake her a lot

[Elizabeth]

I see what you did there, if he doesn’t score you’ll be right, if he does you probably won’t care that you’re wrong!

Pretty good BigVince and of course whatever psyche I was using may have well been exposed

Now if I’d been referring to Cornet there would be more than a bit of credence to it but it is Barnes we are talking about after all.

I’ve been telling myself I’m not nervous all day but I’m starting to feel the anxiety.

I don’t think we can have any complaints about the side Villa have put out and with Tarks playing I don’t think we have a better chance of a point

[CrosspoolClarets]

Bookies think we will stay up. Leeds are odds on to be relegated. We are about 7/4 and Everton 8/1.

Those odds are about to change massively by 10pm.

One way or the other.

I hope Mrs MKmel has a very broken night's sleep.

[AwayClaret]

It's f^cking mental in the away end.

[NRC]

just left my home office work desk and made my way around the corner to the living room, where, Peacock says "coverage to begin shortly, stay tuned"

[DCWat]

Bloody hell - a rush to get home from work to realise I’ve run out of beers and no tonic for the gin!!

It’s the untouched bottle of sherry from the back of the cupboard, that’s been there since Christmas, to settle the nerves

If things don’t go to plan, it could be gin with no tonic!!

Come on boys - at them from the off and do us proud!!!!!

[NRC]

my stomach is literally churning. I don't know how the players do it

[jedi_master]

This could be ‘one of those nights’ that goes down in the annals of our club, let us hope so.

[FCBurnley]

Watching first few mins of Everton. It’s manic

[Murger]

This could be ‘one of those nights’ that goes down in the annals of our club, let us hope so.

I'm glad you spelt annals correctly.

[Bosscat]

I'm glad you spelt annals correctly.

Especially with going down in the same sentence

This is the time to shine boys, COYC

[FCBurnley]

Wonder what would have happened in December if Villa hadn’t taken the Covid way out !!

[Bigvince]

I’ve been ok all day, the nerves have kicked in now

[karatekid]

Give them nothing, but take from them , everything.

[wilks_bfc]

Thankfully the players are looking more relaxed than most of us are feeling

Hopefully not too relaxed though

[Bosscat]

Just poured my 1st beer of the evening ... Come on yooooo Clarrrreetttts!!!!!!!!!!

[DCWat]

Wonder what would have happened in December if Villa hadn’t taken the Covid way out !!

To be fair, I think we’d have lost! Hopefully it’s done us a favour.

[Winstonswhite]

I can’t believe there’s a block of about 3k seats free

[Clockwork Claret]

I can’t believe there’s a block of about 3k seats free

Fkin criminal that.

[SouthamptonClaret]

Come on Burnley!!!

[ClaretMov]

I can’t believe there’s a block of about 3k seats free

Unbelievable

[Bigvince]

Here we go! COME ON U CLARETS !!!

[Firthy]

I'm not nervous. Not expecting anything from tonight so anything other than a loss is a bonus.

[ClaretDiver]

Just got in from work....out of my uniform and beer poured!!! COYC!! Even had a Burnley fan on my ambulance up here in the North East today!! Spot on geezer!

[Murger]

On behalf of those of us watching on a stream, please don’t post things like that.

I was expecting the worst

Sorry

[DCWat]

Barnes - ******* idiot!

[Kgun5]

McNeil should have been in.

[joey13]

Barnes you idiot

[KRBFC]

Everton losing

[Bigvince]

Everton 1 down

[wilks_bfc]

After the last two games, Barnes needs to have his arms strapped down

[cockneyclaret]

F##king hell Barnes

[Goalposts]

Seen those given reds…

[Goalposts]

We’re being very physical at the moment

[Firthy]

OK what did Barnes do for those not watching

[Bosscat]

Palatse 1 up at Toffeetown

[Kgun5]

Seen those given reds…

Perhaps VAR felt we were owed one.
