good luck finding recent comments where people actually think we'll miss out on top 4. discussing permutations isn't people saying it will happen. just that it could happen...because it could. but we're all in agreement that we're much more likely to get 4th than 5th

I don't need luck, I've read such comments in the last 24 hrs...

Spoilt brat entitlement?

I understand the want to win silverware, but remember YOU framed it as either or.

The money gained from being IN the champions league, the players attracted by being IN the champions league, the increase in the clubs profile by being IN the champions league completely eclipses the ‘won a European trophy no one gives two **** about’ argument. Stinks of SHA mentality.

I want Villa to succeed.  I want what’s best for Aston Villa.  I can see the long term benefit of being in the champions league over winning the conference cup.  You, on the other hand, want some shitty trophy you can crack one off over.

Calling people ‘spoilt brats’ over seeing sense.  One could argue that YOU, sir, are the spoilt brat - short sighted, and placing your own desires above what is good for the club.

I’ll take both.  But if I had to choose - it would be the champions league every single time.

 

Who did Leicester sign after they got champions league after winning the league?

More to the point who left Leicester after they won the league and qualified for CL....

Finishing 4th will get forgotten in history winning a trophy will not.

There is no guarantee that finishing 4th means anything other than we will play CL football next season.

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.

I suppose we can shit our pants at that Palace result or look at it another way. Utd are a total mess at the moment and play Arsenal next. If, and based on what we have seen recently they will, Arsenal beat Utd it means Man City will have to beat Spurs next week to still have winning the title in their own hands. 

Spurs losing to City doesn't suit the narrative that  too many are projecting on here, we can't finish 4th under any circumstances...

We couldn’t turn over a woeful Brentford and then we beat Arsenal with one of our best performances of the season

Don't apply logic to this mate you will ruin the fun on what gets posted next ...

Aussies always win, especially if it's cricket might go practice my underarm bowling...

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

Tell me you know nothing about football, without saying you know nothing about football....

Became a joke at the end but the absolute fear this United team put into some Villa supporters was really embarrassing

Don't talk to soon mate, they could find form and finish above us and then there would be egg on your face

Call in sick mate, I certainly feel it.

lucky I am self employed, i certainly will be thinking of it

still time for a goal

There is a reason why they are not able to keep running at the intensity required to close down the opposition midfield effectively and it is because they are being asked to do it every three days. It catches up with you.

close down the edge of your own box!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just now, LondonLax said:

We don’t have the squad depth to keep up the intensity required to do that. 

what are you on about, you are finding some ridiculous excuses for not doing one of the basic skills in football

Our midfield has been exposed by losing Kamara and Telemens.  

that is irrelevant to my point, if you are on the pitch then you are capable of closing down an opponent

Duran yes, for Rogers mmmm

Yeah, should still keep that out easily.

What would have been easier, would have been someone actually closing an opponent down

Maybe Martinez just does an amazing job of compensating for our woeful defending.... Olsen has not been great but he has not been awful either.... he is just getting compared to a brilliant keeper

Just now, osmark86 said:

ok now can we agree he's a shit keeper?

Deflection doesn't support you on this one

Cursed

We still need to win at least one more game this season for 4th imo.

Can you see us beating Brighton away this weekend with only 3 days rest if we play like this?

yes..

I still think we can win this but are we done conceding stupid goals yet??

Luiz the last couple of months = irresponsible

it is a penalty, just like Baileys was

Luiz .... ffs just what I have been talking about... sloppy
