Burnley did it. They got the win. Jay Rodriguez headed the ball into the net. Whoever Burnley’s goalie is held the Watforders scoreless. Hope climbed back to its feet concerning Burnley’s shot at the Europa League.
You, like me, may be wondering if the Europa League is happening again next year. Answer? Yes. Just googled it. They’ve got dates. They’re even finishing this year’s.
With that established, you also—again, like me—might wonder how close Burnley actually is. You may think, “There can’t be many matches left, right?”
It’s true. Not a lot of time. But with seven games to play, Burnley’s only seven points back of the Europa League spot, and that’s true either way in the Will Man City’s UEFA ban stand? scenarios.
On Monday, Burnley takes on Crystal Palace, with whom they’re currently basically tied for 10th (I think goal differential means Burnley’s 11th by a couple netters, which is what I just decided to try calling goals). Because I don’t know how Google communicates soccer schedules, I don’t know whether it’s at Turf Moor or not, but my instinct says it’s a road show. Hope the Palace is ready for some malice.
