[Football] Burnley vs Fulham

[Nameless]

Assuming we'll all be watching this and not the Champions League.

What would be the best result for us? A draw Burnley would go above us and Fulham will be a point closer, a Burnley win they go 3 points above us but it keeps Fulham 8 points below us and a Fulham win narrows the gap to 5 points but keeps Burnley below us. After this we would have all played the same amount of games.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Draw. Four points lost by relegation rivals.

ps oh, and several red cards awarded to key players. Jobza Goodun

 

[y2dave]

Draw.

 

[Barham's tash]

Draw or Fulham win. Keeps Fulham interested and drags others back into the fray.

Their next five games are:

Burnley
Sheff United
Palace
Liverpool
Man City

Assuming we average a point a game over our next five then I don’t mind Fulham winning their next three to get close to us (they’d still be 4 points behind us in my scenario] as they’d have properly pulled Burnley and Palace back down.

Newcastle without Wilson are in big trouble too, and if we beat Palace as well then for me we’re clear and free and it’s a four way scrap between Fulham, Burnley, Newcastle and Palace for that last spot.

 

[Change at Barnham]

0-0 draw, two points dropped by both sides.
Which would also be helpful for my Fantasy Football team that has Nick Pope in goal.

 

[SAC]

Draw or Burnley win for me.

 

[sparkie]

Draw but I won't be as bothered by a Burnley win as I would be by a Fulham win.

 

[Sheebo]

Wish I knew our result already... win Monday and Fulham win is fine. Draw or lose mon and I don’t want a Fulham win...

 

[golddene]

Burnley win for me, keep the three at the bottom as far away as possible, at least until our current form continues onward to safety then amass as many points as possible to attain our highest ever finish.

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

Anything but a Fulham win. Mee is out so that possibility is dangerously real.

 

[Easy 10]

Fulham are almost as good at draws as BHA. I think a 0-0 or 1-1 is almost inevitable.

 

[Official Old Man]

Where's the Albion game tonight?
Searched all the usual TV channels but cant see it at all.
Where is it and who we playing?
Or have we got a week off?

 

[zefarelly]

don't care.

Our next is on Monday 22nd against Palace.

As for the thread: draw or Fulham win. I'm confident enough we'll do well enough that we don't need to worry too much about the clubs below us.

 

[um bongo molongo]

Burnley win for me. Cut the bottom 3 as far adrift as possible

 

[Giraffe]

I still think Palace or Newcastle could go down, and I'm confident we will finish above both, I therefore want Fulham to win.

You do not actually have that decision to make. The Burnley v Fulham game is at 6.00pm, and the two CL matches are at 8.00pm.

(But you do have to choose between those, and Everton v Man City, at 8.15pm)

 

[albionalbino]

Strangely not fussed, if we finish above Burnley or Fulham we're staying up and at least one of them will drop points.. I welcome Injuries and suspensions to both teams.

Some teams are catching up with previously postponed matches this week.

UEFA doesn't normally allow a match in a major domestic league to clash with a Champions League game.

I would say a draw although it doesn't matter either way if we beat palace. A draw keeps nice distance between us and bottom 3 and Fulham's game in hand used.
