VillaChris Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 49 minutes ago, GlobalVillan said: Since they failed to win at Brentford, I haven't seen any posts that predict Man United finish above us. Not a single one. However there are a lot of posters "responding" to those non existent posts, telling people to relax calm down etc, when nobody is even claiming it. Weird. We all agree that Man United aren't finishing above us. @Tayls was going on about them winning nine in a row. They still have 9 games. Even with that we'd just need 5 wins and draw from last eight so shows realistically what a remote prospect it is. They aren't getting close to nine wins and a poor end to the season probably still results in us winning three more games and a draw or two.

Plus it would be nice to finish above Spurs for the 2nd year running as well as matching 2nd highest ever PL finish. It's more money in the pot too, as its a couple of million per place. Pays for Diego Carlos’ fake abs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously want to finish as high as possible but even if people started saying them comments they’d change their tune if it suited their club. Pretty sure Newcastle/Brighton fans were slating us getting excited for the Europa Conference League (De Zerbi even said he didn’t want to qualify for the competition on the pitch last season) yet pretty sure they’d all be excited if they qualified for it this season!

TheMightyVillans Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Even if we get 5th and doesn't turn out to be a champions league spot. Getting into the europa league is big progress considering all the injuries/suspension we have had this season. Still will be a great season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted April 1 VT Supporter Share Posted April 1 Some of us have been showing the maths that showed Utd had almost no chance of finishing above us for weeks now. They haven't realistically been in the race for a while now 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've been done for a long time for everyone except Gary Neville. They're more likely to finish in the bottom half than they are 5th.

Remember people were genuinely worried about Chelsea catching us a couple of weeks ago. Supporting Villa really has conditioned us to expect the worst 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf I am confident about our team and especially Emery, theres just a part of me that wants it to be certain before I can openly talk about it. Don't want it to go wrong I guess is the overriding feeling for most! Edited April 1 by beasley14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 United are bottom of the barrel horse shit. If they overtake us at any point before the end of this season then something has gone very, very wrong for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most important thing we can do for our chances of CL football is actually winning the Conference League. Surely the most important thing we can do four our chances of Champions League football is to finish fourth? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
