We get 6th and we’ll be bouncing over the rooftops We get 7th, it’s fantastic and we have a great chance of a cup next season, a season of getting used to all the extra games, expand the squad etc We get 8th, a brilliant 2nd half to the season, highest points total for over a decade I think, respected in the league again, attractive to new quality recruits and the ability next season to focus solely on the league and European spots next season. Win, win, win! It’s all upside whatever happens the next two games… Great post - just to add that for 8th, we can also really go for one of the domestic cups too as an added bonus. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope we get to Europe but if we don't, we get another season to build our depth and push for Europe again from a much stronger base. It's the most exciting time to be a Villa fan since at least the MON years, arguably in the Premier League era. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just four weeks ago Southampton were injury time away from beating Arsenal 3-2 at the Emirates but conceded a late goal but still got a draw, in fact they were 3-1 up at the 87 minute. They are rubbish but the beauty of the PL is anything can happen in a single game, however unlikely it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 (edited) Brighton could lose all their remaining games. They have injuries and fatigue has kicked in. They are having to play a lot of games in a short space of time and you can see they are trying to rotate but the quality in the squad just isn’t there.

jayEm Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Knowing us, Brentford will beat Spurs on Saturday, but then we'll lose to Liverpool and be suddenly on the cusp of finishing 9th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think they will because even City’s second team in second gear will beat Brentford especially with no Toney. But If we end up 9th, it’s still a great season as we are top half, great second half of the season, amazing haul of points by Emery and bright for next season and recruitment. Obviously slight disappointment just dropping a place at this late stage but in the big picture, a fabulous turnaround and great future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 We need to beat Liverpool, no sisters and brothers I prove to you that there's another way, the good thing is that there are three games this weekend in which a 'surprise result' would help us. We need a surprise result at the weekend to leave us still with a good chance of Europe going into last game of the season. The good thing is that there are three games in which a surprise result would help us. Either us beating Liverpool, Southampton beating Brighton, or Brentford beating Tottenham. Any of those results happen and we go into last day of the season with top seven still a possibility Doesn't even have to be a win, if any of us, Brentford, or Southampton can get a draw this weekend then puts us in a good position going into last game of the season. In Brighton's case I'm presuming that they lose to Man City If we don't get Europe can't really complain, we've had to show top four form just to get this far. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 I've done a nice treble for the weekend. Spurs / Liverpool / Brighton all to win. If the bet fails we will go into the final day with a chance of Europe. (might need to bet on Brighton against City thoyugh) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
