turvontour Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 6 minutes ago, beasley14 said: Oh I agree but you can see why some people feel that way, especially when you know any 50/50 decisions will go on their favour. That Everton pen shout yesterday for example would 100% be a pen if Utd. Completely. But even with the decisions going for them they're still pretty rubbish. A zero goal difference for the season tells you all you need to know. If we had been on our game when we played them they would actually be 9th or 10th which is roughly where they should be.

Brentford, Bournemouth, Chelsea, Palace and then one of Brighton/Liverpool may be needed. I think we’ll still need 5 wins to get fourth. Spurs are keeping pace with us point for point.

Sulberto21 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 32 minutes ago, useless said: I think we will get something from Arsenal and Man City games, maybe just one point, but I don't think we will lose both I believe we will win one of the 3 hardest games we have left. I don’t know if it’s Arsenal City or Liverpool but we will beat one of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turvontour Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 I'm really struggling to find any reports about the top 4 battle anywhere in the media this morning. A bad set of results yesterday for the media. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 I'd do the old predictor but after Man U's performance yesterday I don't need to, they are schitzo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How hard are you looking? 2nd story down on the front page of the bbc football page is “Konsa caps perfect week to help Villa maintain top 4 gap over Spurs” Front page of Sky Sports football is a picture of Konsa celebrating with a link to the highlights “Villa hold off Wolves to maintain hold on fourth” Edit: checked Guardian football too… 4th story down “Diaby and Konsa strike to boost top 4 hopes” Edited March 31 by Stevo985 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post M_Afro Posted March 31 Popular Post Share Posted March 31 8 league games to go and we are well in this with a European QF to enjoy too. What a season. We just need to enjoy this. Who saw this coming when Unai took over? Not me. I am savouring every moment. What a team. What a manager. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who saw this coming when Unai took over? Not me. I am savouring every moment. What a team. What a manager. Exactly. Best season of my lifetime. The odd loss we suffer occasionally doesn't even phase me. In the grand scheme of things we're already like 3-5 years ahead of where I thought we'd be under NSWE. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 So April we have 7 games in total. Man United have 6. Spurs only have 4. How Emery rotates the squad in games will be key. The form of Duran, Zaniolo, Cash and Rogers will be massive in deciding how we do in games. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSvillain Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 12 hours ago, Keyblade said: So you watched them today and your conclusion was they could *checks notes* easily win 9 in a row? United. Zero goal difference Manchester United. This is technically an opinion yes, but it's not a serious one.

I think they'll win at Newcastle with all the injuries they have, good time to play them. Key games are West Ham and Chelsea, don't want them winning either as they'll likely get over 70 points if they do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d rather the points than a game in hand, but do fear Spurs will be fresher for the final push without as many injuries as us. Really hope 5th is enough this season!

I thought we were conserving ourselves in the first half yesterday. Letting Wolves have the ball and not really pressing them too much. It seems like Emery always has an eye on energy levels. You can tell he's a seasoned campaigner. 14 European campaigns in a row, I imagine he's got this rotation thing down to a science at this point. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many games in a month, I agree with Pep on this one although I have less sympathy for the man that has the best squad in club football.

Really hope 5th is enough this season! Look at next 6 Wham away London derby. Can see Wham winning Forest home should be win but who knows Newcastle away. Doubt they win Then City and Arse home followed Pool away. Don't rate their chances at all Edited March 31 by Kiwivillan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLAMARV Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 I wonder when their (Spurs) postponed games (away v Chelsea and at home to Man City) get rearranged for. If Man City get past Real Madrid they might not be available until the last week of the season midweek - unless they squeeze it in a few days after the FA cup semis. I'd have thought they'd want to get the trip to Chelsea out of the way sooner rather than later so surely at the same time as weplay against Lille at home would be ideal. I can't see Chelsea wanting it 3 days before the FACup semi against City. If not then, it too is probably pushed back till May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the Chelsea game was getting dropped in the late April midweek but Chelsea are playing Arsenal then. Guess it's just dropped in one of the Europe weeks so feasible they could be playing that on the same night as we play a potential SF! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
