I don't think we will finish above either but if we did it wouldn't be Spurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brommy Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 (edited) European qualification or not, finishing top 8 would be an incredible achievement this season, especially given the legacy left by our most recent manager. Conversely, if we somehow return to average form, perhaps by losing some of the key games against our top half rivals, I hope fans won't be critical of the manager or team for falling away from our current height. I hope I'm not the only Villa fan who thinks that finishing anywhere in the top half of the Premier League will be a great achievement - this season. Having written that, I will allow myself a sigh of disappointment if we finish 11th! Edited April 5, 2023 by brommy 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we are going around in circles here but to put it another way: Spurs look totally shot from top to bottom and I think Brighton will finish above them comfortably.

Hank Scorpio Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 We have some really really hard games left. It's very possible we go on a bad run and don't win for a few games. It is great to be talking about Europe rather than relegation but, we have alot of work to do with far worse fixtures than the competition. Thanks to the awful start to the season mastermind by that idiot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the Time we play Manchester United they will be on the PL Beach. Fulham and Brentford look like they're starting their summer holidays on the beach. Newcastle yes very tough game Brighton might be on the beach on the last game of the season Spurs are beatable Forrest Beatable Its in our own hands.

MaVilla Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 im sure i saw a graphic/graph/table somewhere that implied that we have the second hardest last 10 game run in of all teams in the PL. It said only Brentford had a harder run in. edit: here it is: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing that I kind of like in a weird way is that people forget about Boubacar Kamara as one of our best players. Just quietly went under the radar despite being our best player. Bodes well for the future (hoping that scouts aren't much better than the average fans ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which would be objectively hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need other teams to drop points i can't see it as the run isnt as easy and i dont think we have the squad depth Newcastle at home ia going to be tough Brentford away another tough game Spurs home we never win Utd away another toughie So there is four examples of potential places we can drop points. If we win against forest that sets up a good platform for us going into these games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m already delighted because unless a major crash now we will finish top 10 which we haven’t done since when. Also given the disaster under Gerrard and now to be in this position is amazing for this season. I’m hoping for Europe but I’m so optimistic about the future now, that Europe would just be the extra cream if it did happen. Enjoying the ride! Love to get Europe! If not, then look out next season because this train is on a roll… Edited April 6, 2023 by nick76 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forest and Wolves and then the teams between 3rd and 10th Just put a big grin on my face when I read that this morning. Whatever happens happens. But it's all in our own hands. It's all a bonus after such a poor start. Like you say. Positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Huge weekend coming. Need to win at home to Forest. Hope Brentford lose or draw to Newcastle and Spurs beat Brighton. Arsenal doing Liverpool would also be welcome. If Brentford lose and we win that's a 4 point gap to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Enda Posted April 6, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 6, 2023 I wouldn’t call this run of games huge at all. It’s a free hit at Europe, and I’m confident we’ll be back again next year. Not the end of the world if we finish e.g. 9th. It’s such a lovely place to be. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We currently have momentum and confidence, which are two great ingredients for a good final run in. However, anything above 11th now is still a wonderful achievement considering where we were October time. Can’t help but be excited though with where we are now and where this might end?
