6 key results this season

[outwoodclaret]

I have picked six games, five of which were away wins.

1) Arsenal 0 Burnley 1. After years of misery and daylight robbery against the Gunners our struggling season gets up and running as Xhaka is sent off for violent conduct and Aubameyang so frequently the scourge of the Clarets heads a perfect own goal. Justice!

2) Liverpool 0 Burnley 1. We start the rot for Liverpool at Anfield as Ashley Barnes wins and scores the decisive penalty ending the Reds 68 game unbeaten home run. Other teams soon follow our lead but they are just “herring gulls following the trawler”.

3) Burnley 3 Aston Villa 2. Twice behind against a fully Grealished Aston Villa Burnley deservedly hit back to take all 3 points. Nick Pope was brilliant denying Villa time and time again in a first half dominated by the visitors. For Villa it was a shock as they had won all the previous 9 PL games where they had taken the lead this season.

4) Crystal Palace 0 Burnley 3. The Clarets simply blew away a limp Eagles side with 2 goals in the opening 10 minutes. Matt Lowton added a stunning third goal which should have been goal of the month by a country mile but I suspect the award went to that little tw*t Bruno Fernandes. The scale and manner of Palace’s defeat prompted the usual outpourings of how could we lose to that f*ckin pub team Burnley. I didn’t become a Palace supporter to watch our team getting thrashed like this etc.

5) Everton 1 Burnley 2. Just one word necessary. McNeil! Another GOTM contender that “lost out” to a big 6 club.

6) Wolves 0 Burnley 4. Chris Wood sets all kinds of records with his first half hat-trick in a superb team performance. Our biggest top flight away win since beating Sunderland 4-0 in November 1965 and a first top flight double over Wolves since the 1956-57 season.

Well done outwood because they were all outstanding results which hve helped us along the way.
We had drawn with Everton at home the week before the Arsenal game but we had played 10 won 1 drawn 3 and lost 6 scored 5 with 18 against and just had 6 points and were 19th in the table.
That win at Arsenal certainly set us on the way for an upsurge in from, although we have had one or two lapses. Since the draw with Everton we have played 23 won 8 drawn 6 and lost just 9 scoring 25 and 27 against picking up 30 points.
That sort of form throughout the season would realise 50 points but this has been a very hard season because of the turnaround.

Against West Brom we were very poor at home and on any other day the Baggies would have won despite being reduced to 10 men. Fulham at home we deserved a point and while we did not pick up the wins in these two fixtures we craved, we kept both teams at arms length and there they sit now in the final two relegation places while we are almost certainly safe.

A win tonight would certainly do it outwood.

I agree BT. A win tonight would cook Fulham’s goose for sure. Scott Parker has tried his utmost to keep them in the PL but ultimately they have fallen short. I would think the Fulham Board will keep faith with him because they would have every chance of getting straight back up from the Championship.

Can't disagree with the OP or Alf's poor results. Sometimes the poor results send me down farther than the good results lift me, Newcastle being a game in mind.
