I MUST admit Tom Heaton’s call-up to the England squad came as a surprise yesterday, although a pleasant one.
I DON’T care if we’re the most boring team in the history of the Premier League in these last four games of the season. We’ve just somehow got to get results now.
THERE’S still a good chance that Burnley and Leicester City can both stay up , but we really need to win tomorrow.
IT’S a big game for Burnley this weekend at Everton and a big game for me as the team I played for for so long plays the team I have supported all my life.
PREMIER League games don’t come much tougher than Arsenal at the moment with the fantastic form that they are in.
AT any normal time you would certainly take a point at home to Tottenham.
LAST weekend’s defeat to Southampton was disappointing but I think we would all have taken being in this situation with eight games to go at the start of the season, and especially after not winning any of the first 10 games of the season.
DANNY Ings will probably be disappointed to have missed out on the England squad, but it’s testament to the season that he’s had that he was even being talked about as a possibility.
HOME games don’t come much tougher than Manchester City but Burnley proved in the away game at the Etihad that they can shock the champions.
