If it happens to be against crappy wee no-mark european teams i've never heard of? who cares, its still Villa, and if it means watching Villa actually win games and be competitive then all the better! bring it on Love this.

Us and spurs prob have hardest run in on paper How have Spurs got 8 game remaining? Don't Brighton have 2 games in hand on them, let alone us?

Us and spurs prob have hardest run in on paper Looking at that it's going to be incredibly hard to get 6th. We've had to go on a historic run putting out basically league winning form just to get ourselves back in it, it wouldn't be shocking if we lost to Brentford, they are very strong at home. Liverpool could go unbeaten winning 5 or 6 of all their remaining games, Being realistic I can see us getting 10 points from those, would 60 be enough for Europe? Maybe. I think we HAVE to beat Spurs, Brighton and Liverpool to have a chance. I hope I'm proved wrong we win all 7 and finish 3rd!

However on current form under Emery it is certainly a possibility; really hoping Spuds and Brighton fall away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparrow1988 Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Last 3 games - Spurs, Liverpool and Brighton. That’s where positions 5, 6 & 7 are getting decided. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think were going to need to win at least 4 or 5 of our remaining 7 to stand a chance. Very difficult. Also Gregg Evans said he thinks were going to qualify for the CL so you can rule out any kind of european football based on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need one or the other to win The best thing would be a Tottenham loss as they are realistically more catchable. After that, a draw would be better than a Tottenham win.

I have Man Utd down as taking that 3rd place spot (sadly). They have a very good and easyish set of fixtures. If we can beat everyone in our remaining games (and pray for slip ups from Brighton, Newcastle, Liverpool and Spurs along the way) then we have a good chance of getting 4th at the most. I think we will finish 6th though providing we keep at it, keep winning and the football gods also work in our favour regarding the others around us and their results.

United are out of reach, and it will take a monumental collapse from Newcastle to catch them. The max we can get is 71, Newcastle then needs 16 points from 24 to get to 72. So, even if we are perfect in last 7 games and get maximum points, I can't see Newcastle dropping that many points. Now if they lose their next 2 games against Spurs and Everton, i'll start to believe, but it's out of our hands. Having said that, based on Newcastle and Man U current ppg, after 38 games Newcastle would have 70 points and Man U 74.

I assume some of our reverse fixtures were under Gerrard. And also Liverpool seem to be on the up compared with their earlier season performance. Not to mention the fact you're flipping home and away, where Liverpool have looked far worse away than at home. Adding that context it becomes quite favourable...We've looked as good away as we have at home under Emery so in with a real shout.

Brentford at home (won 4-0) was in between Gerrard and Emery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same results but add a goal to team now at home and take one off the team now away (ie. previous away wins and 3 goal home wins have same result, two goal home wins become draws, 1 goal home wins flip, and draws become wins for side with home advantage now) 3 Man Utd 73 4 Newcastle 71 5 Brighton 62 6 Liverpool 61 7 Spurs 60 8 Villa 60 Edited April 19, 2023 by tomsky_11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
