For my two penny worth. Winning a trophy hasn't done Moyes or West Ham much good.  We have been dreaming of being in the champions league since the MON days and never thought it wouid happen.. its massive for our club. The conference league is a new trophy and whilst it wouid be nice to win it its not the be and end all for me. 

I appreciate the younger supporters who have never seen us win a trophy might mean a lot more to them though.

They might have seen us lift the Championship playoff trophy...

This thread is mental ....

I'll come back when we have qualified for 4th and troll all of the comments about us being out on our ass and likely to miss out on top 4...

I'm going to have right good time then.

fill your boots

Well funny enough we are due for a win. Looking at our PL schedule for the season we’ve never gone more than 2 games without a win.

Sorry to be Debbie downer but we've never been this out on our arses knackered before...

A lot of negativity on here as usual.  Would anyone swap positions with Spurs?

No because then I'd be a Spurs fan, oh you mean Villa be where Spurs are... no, because we'd probably drop points to Burnley and Sheffield Utd...

Olymbiakós SFP (GRE) - Aston Villa FC (ENG)

I'm pretty sure that ref was done for match-fixing?

If Spurs lose or draw to Burnley then lose to City there's a real chance that they don't even finish 6th... that would be a typical Spursy thing to do...

Would you start Duran up front with Watkins playing in behind for this game?

I wonder if it will be a weird atmosphere in the the Spurs v Man City game... Will the Spurs fans want to beat Man City if it hands Arsenal the league? Asking for a friend...

Anyone else think that Burnley can get something against Spuds? They went to another "big 6" team recently and got a draw.....

@neilski I think it is yet to be confirmed.

Unfortunately, it is almost a certainty that, whoever he is, he won't be doing Villa any favours...

I suppose you do know of the ties between UEFA's general secretary and Olympiacos, right?

Wasn't he (Theodore Theodoridis) on the board at Olympiacos when there was some talk of corruption?

I’ve just put £100 on spurs to finish top 4. Just in case. You’ll all be happy to know I can’t win a bet to save my life 

How much are you not going to win?

Spurs probability doesn't even fit in the box yet I'm still nervous....

Funny isn't it. I was thinking why (me included) are so worried when its 95% probable we will do it. 

It's been drilled into us - collapse, failure, bottling it. Classic villa. It means so much that the thought of not doing it is literally terrifying. 

So much disappointment, followed by promise, followed by hope, followed by dissapointment over the last 30 years. 

100% this

So you think we are going to lose to Liverpool and Palace?

Yes, both… if we can’t turn over a woeful Brighton we won’t turn over either of those two

Has CVByrne hacked your account? 

I hope I’m wrong but I don’t see us not losing to Liverpool or Palace… I don’t see Spurs losing to Burnley or Shef U… ergo my statement

It’s said before but it all comes down to the Man City game for me… if City win we’re 4th… any other result we’re 5th.

We won’t turn this Palace side over

Surly that guys in his 30’s

It was taken 4 years ago

2020/2021 - Chelsea got 4th with 67 points

2019/2020 - Chelsea got 4th with 66 points

2015/2016 - City got 4th with 66 points

Just now, nick76 said:

I still wouldn’t rule out Burnley getting something against Spurs.  They are generally poor but occasionally pick up a good result and Spurs aren’t exactly great at the moment.  

I expect Spurs to win but far far from a guarantee and it wouldn’t surprise me if it wasn’t a win.

I'd settle for a Burnley draw

claret and blue spectacles off and this is extremely likely to go for villa - just takes one result in any of the 5 games remaining for both teams

Looking at the odds, the maths, it's extremely likely that we get 4th..... but I've supported Villa long enough to take anything for granted.....until it's mathematically done...

The bookies here in NZ are offering to qualify for top 4

Aston Villa $1.03

Spurs $11.00

I'm surprised that they're offering so much for Spurs, seeing as they're pretty much guaranteed 6 points and a hefty positive goal difference...
