Spurs lose to Chelsea, Villa beat Brighton, Spurs lose to Liverpool… top 4 sorted by Monday…. Anyone else think this will happen?

Saw this online ..... Tottenham have won just once in the league at Stamford Bridge in the last 34 years.... so they're probably due...

The Villa New Zealand get-together for the game, as promised in the pre-match thread. Was a great turnout!

This was an awesome long weekend.... The hardest thing was keeping the score quiet from the rest of the world.. seeing as we're 11 hours ahead

I understand that, but as we saw when gresford played for us, we should not keep depending on one player...

Jim?

Also, which teams are likely to get into which European Comp next season?

Arsenal, City, Liverpool, Villa CL

Spurs, Man U Europa

Newcastle Conference...... that it?

What about League cup and FA cup winners places?

Raya tried to throw it away today...... chump

For those that like rolling averages.... our lowest 3 point haul was three points, when we lost to Newcastle, Beat Shef Utd, then lost to Man U. If we do that again or better we'll be on 70 points plus. That could be too much of a gap for Spurs to bridge depending on their result tonight...

I think that Spurs have only 1 away game this year? They still have 3 of their 5 games away from home: Chelsea, Liverpool and Shefiield Utd... 

Our last three games are against teams that having left to play. We need 3 cup finals... No reason why we can't take at least 5 points from them....

We don't make excuses. We'd have taken 4 from the last two games. We'll just go beat Brighton now. 

I think we've lost 1 in 10 v Brighton

If we can get 4 points from next 3 I think that will be enough. Might not even need that if spurs wobble the next 3 games .

We’ve beaten Brighton last 5 games.. not rushing to jinx it but we usually do well against them.

I don’t see why Spurs wouldn’t do a Spurs…

Make the most of Emery.... when a big club like Man United come in for him, he'll be gone..... says every pundit wanking themselves silly over so called big clubs....

They came 3rd in Greek regular season… behind POAK and AEK Athens. I don’t really know what standard the league is. Maybe lower half of the PL/upper half of Champ?

They’re 72 in the World Club rankings… Wolves are 80

We would have if Bournemouth were still in the FA Cup.

They have a lot of fixtures congested at the end of the season.. we can get points on the board

Olympiakos are dreadful travellers, away game is where we will need Emi

Are Olympiakos any good? I mean they’re semi finalists in Europe but how do they rate compared to usual opposition?

Despite his crucial role in Aston Villa's victory, Martinez's celebration was short-lived. The accumulation of three yellow cards over the two legs of the quarter-finals triggered a mandatory one-match suspension.

Read this online.. is this true?

We win tomorrow and go through - 2 points 

Liverpool win but go out - 2points

West Ham win but go out - 2 points

6 points adding .75 to the coefficient 

not enough sadly

They get 1 point for the first leg and 1 point for this leg. That bit is now confirmed.

But then they get 2 more matches in the semi final (if they win) to accumulate more points.  

Plus bonus points for getting through each round.

So the game points are awarded after 90 mins?

Can City still get 3 points from this game? Now it’s at extra time

when the draw was made we all expect Arsenal and West Ham to go out. It’s the Liverpool game that is critical, should City get past Madrid here. 

Liverpool are capable of turning the tie around.
