Playoffs it is despite having the highest wage bill in the league. With the form others are showing it will be more like 25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Pangloss Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 If the gap widens further between us and Cardiff today then there's no chance of automatic promotion. Must win and keep winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of when we had about £20million on top of Spurs's wage bill and they flew to 4th and we looked tired and more or less done by March. Those were the days though. We do give out too many long-term, big contracts to average players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d agree with this, we can only afford to drop a couple of points if we are to have any hope of the automatic spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaAlex Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Fulham are the best team in this league. They started the season slow, but are even better than Wolves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted March 17, 2018 Moderator Share Posted March 17, 2018 Fulham and Cardiff are on runs of form that are just unbelievable - over the last fifteen to twenty games they've been almost unbeatable, during the last fifteen I think they've lost one league game each. We've kept that pace - it's title winning pace - but one of the teams involved in the chase will finish fourth. It's been an incredibly fierce race. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieVillan Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 This is the first time I’ve sat and watched Fulham (now winning 2-0) properly. They are clinical, but they aren’t anything amazing, they are wide open at the back and QPR could easily have scored a couple of goals themselves in this game. If this is how they always play, their winning run won’t last, and I can see them dropping points sooner rather than later in the run in. Whether we can put a run together ourselves to take advantage is different matter. (now 2-1 by the way) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How the hell did we concede 3 to these lot. Not good enough and a big time bottle job by our players. Now we lie 4th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deeps Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Fulham look a cut above. If we can’t pull back the points on Cardiff I hope they do! Would rather swerve them in the play offs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the Birmingham based journo's on the Sunday supplement (he's a villa fan) said it earlier this season. It's hovering around the £1 million a week, £52m a year.
