Django_Zooms Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 It could not be set up better for Villa. Brighton with nothing at all to play for & with 5 days less recovery time. High intensity pressure should secure European football. I was at Villa Park in 2010 when Rapid Vienna won the tie. Villa fans' patience deserves rich returns.

Want Leeds to beat Spurs but Leeds can win and still go down if Everton draw or win(assuming draw and current 3 GD should be enough) Edited May 24, 2023 by Kiwivillan 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Villa fans much more relaxed now we know where we stand but I don’t think Unai or the players will be complacent. I hope we hit them early and are, say, 7-0 up by half time. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 I think Brighton will play well with pressure of top 6 off their backs. They were excellent against City. I feel Leeds will get something from Spurs. My worry is City losing to Brentford. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 There's still the best part of a week between the final day of the season and city's first cup final isn't there? It'll be a decent team with players very keen to be involved in either of those games. Yes, 3 or 4 of their key men will likely be on the bench, but they have obscene back ups. I'd be surprised if Brentford won, but if we do our job it doesn't matter. I think it will be tough and Brighton will play well without pressure. but we're a good team too.

Nigel Posted May 25, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted May 25, 2023 My fear has always been that Brighton are the type of team that probably play better when relaxed and less pressured. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delboy54 Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 We draw and Brentford who are at home, pull off a win against on the beach citeh we don't get the last Europe place, Brentford do by better GD Other permutations are available All we need to do is win......

It's Your Round Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 We know we can beat them, but it’s far from guaranteed. There have been only two teams to do the double over Brighton this season, we’d become the third if/when we win on Sunday. Those teams were Fulham and Tottenham. Who are they? ‘Zackly! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Brighton are a very good team, but so are we. Home advantage will be decisive and we’ll win this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 They are a very good team, but as we've seen they are also susceptible to a spanking. Throw in that we're their bogey team as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMelvillan Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 think we will win through pure force of will and generally wanting/ needing it more. cant wait (but please lets not invade the pitch if we win!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duke313 Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 One day for them to prepare while Emery has had all week. If we don’t beat them we don’t deserve Europe. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post SOLIHULL SEAGULL Posted May 25, 2023 Visiting Supporter Popular Post Share Posted May 25, 2023 Good afternoon - (delighted) Brighton fan here in peace. Congratulations on being in the position you're in - when Gerrard left and Emery took over you surely wouldn't have thought you'd be one win from European football next season. Really looking forward to Sunday - VP is probably my favourite PL ground As for us - it's been an amazing season - some of the football we've played has been fantastic - last night was quite a game - we seemed to have unearthed another star in Julio Encisco. What state our players are in on Sunday will be interesting - RDZ has given them a couple of days off - we've played a lot of games in the last month - and sometimes (Newcastle / Everton/ Forest) it's showed. He's targeted specific games for points, and it's paid off. See you Sunday! 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. I'm not buying the whole "In Europe/Less Motivated" narrative for a second. I also foresee a relatively unhappy and ugly match and maybe quite a few cards and pens. Seagulls will be liberated from any worries, and that's when they're likely far more dangerous, and once we really push back on that, all the good feelings will drain from Villa Park and a claret hellscape with flesh-eating shorebirds will materialise.
