    Sorry I completely missed this, did that really happen?

    which you can't have until you take that first step, which can start with next season in the champions league

    really seems to be growing into the side and showing some good stuff. My only concern currently is he seems to fade from the game in the second half.

    I still have spurs finishing just one point ahead of us. That's with them winning against forest, Burnley and Sheffield utd, drawing with Newcastle, arsenal and Chelsea and then losing against man City and Liverpool. Hopefully maybe Newcastle or Chelsea can beat them. Regardless, it's still possible to get 4th from here

    I'm pretty happy with where we are, 2 points ahead of spurs still (regardless of their game in hand, it's points on the board that count) and only 1 goal behind them and they still have to play man City. Match or beat their result at the weekend and I think we will be looking the strongest for 4th place

    They don't need to beat them without breaking a sweat, all they need to do is get a lucky VAR call and beat them in the 97th minute by 1 goal. Its very feasible with Brentford's form (currently last over the past 6 games) and Palace who have won 1 in the last 6 that Utd beat them both. Yes Brighton could go either way, but the way I see it, is if Utd have the possibility of finishing in the champions league places when they play them I think they win it. I think you are missing the point from the original post you quoted me on though, where I said we would still finish above them.

    Fair enough. I disagree with you but thats the way it is sometimes. In my opinion, he could have said "No i wouldn't accept an offer from Chelsea right now" (key difference between what options you gave me), which would have been a far better answer as it always leaves the door open should he ever need it but it makes us lot feel far better. No need for him to say "Yes I'm Villa through and through.." etc as you've put.

    oh I don't disagree, in fact I don't think they catch us, but VillaChris seemed to think it was impossible for them to get 67 and they had to beat either liverpool or arsenal to do it
  9. bcarpet
    But it is. Yes they were talking about the other Jamaicans and they asked if he would accept a move to Chelsea, he then says - There are the big 6 in England including Arsenal and Chelsea...who wouldn’t want to go to a massive club especially coming out of Jamaica, it would shine more light. Its noth about other players, its about him, he even says "especially being who i am"

    I haven't, and they didn't need to. I think they beat Brighton as Brighton will literally have nothing to play for by then. Brentford(A) 1 - 48 Chelsea (A) 1 - 49 Liverpool (H) 0 - 49 Bournmouth (A) 3-52 Newcastle (H) 3 -55 Burnley (H) 3 - 58 Palace (A) 3 - 61 Arsenal (H) 0-61 Brighton (A) 3-64 Sheff Utd (H) 3-67 Taking each game in isolation i don't think any of those predictions are wild over estimations of what Utd are capable of, obviously its football and all could go either way but we are all trying to stare into our crystal balls so we've got to take a stab at what we think it most likely.

    I only watched 10 minutes but interesting to hear him basically say he would join Chelsea right now as it would "shine more light" on Jamaica
  12. bcarpet
    Looking at those fixtures I have the table finishing as Spurs - 69 Villa - 68 Utd - 67

    Ah that's rubbish! Let's hope someone takes it on, it's far too nice a pub for it to be closed
  14. bcarpet
    Wasn't sure where to write this, so thought I'd put it in this thread. Me and my dad thought we would get a table at the Barton Arms for a bit of dinner before Ajax, but the phone line doesn't seem to be connecting and Google is now saying temporarily closed. Does anyone know what's going on with it? It's our favourite pub to have a pretty match pint in so hoping it's not a long term thing?
  15. bcarpet
    Pretty decent. Emi only really had one save to make, we didn't have to expend too much energy, even Konza got a bit of a rest. Could have easily nicked it at the end had Bailey's shot not been blocked. Ref was poor, neither was a red

    I managed to get 2 tickets in the upper holte after queueing which is great as its been ages since i've been in there, even as a memeber! Maybe the queueing system is a better way of doing it!
  17. bcarpet
    bloody hell, I'm in a queue to get onto the villa ticketing page to get the tickets for this one.

    To me it looked quite light hearted, Digne had a smirk on his face the entire time

    I think the back 3 will be how we line up next season, with the youngster from Red Star that we signed in Jan to come in at RB for Konsa when we need a tactical change.
  20. bcarpet
    I agree I think his is terrible, he just seems to shout a lot. I tried listening to his but couldn't. FTLOPM & Claret & Blue are my favourites.
  21. bcarpet
    is it worth giving Pau a go in Kamara's role? They have similar attributes
  22. bcarpet
    Earlier in the season we used to play slow, slow, slow then bang hit them with some pace when attacking which was effective. Currently we seem to be lacking the explosive end bit and our moves just carry on being slow even in the last 3rd which is resulting in us not being able to create many chances
  23. bcarpet
    I think we looked far more balanced when Konsa went to CB and Cash went to RB. Having both full backs as an attacking option just seems to give us that bit more when going forward but doesn't seem to (or vs Everton at least) comprise us defensively. I also think it should be Youri plus one other as the players supporting Ollie now hes back from injury against these teams trying just to defend against us. He is a little bit cleverer than the other players we have up there currently. Bailey should be the other player up there, however it looks like he could do with the break we've got coming up
  24. bcarpet
    I'm glad hes back. Looked decent when he came on and hes much needed against sides like this and Sheffield Utd etc who don't try and play against us.
  25. bcarpet
    Probably not with prem sides no. The Maidstone result was an upset though
