Still don’t understand why some are ready to give up 4th so easy. Spurs have the slightly easier run in but it’s 50/50 and both of us can win or lose any game left as we are both good and bad enough on any given day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBOB Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Spurs run in is not significantly easier than ours. We each have to play Liverpool/City/Arsenal/Chelsea Differences are we play Brentford, Bournemouth, Brighton, and Palace They play Forest, Burnley, Sheffield, Newcastle, and Palace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayls Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 4 hours ago, VillaChris said: @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. I never said they are going to win 9 in a row I said they are probably capable of it. And then all I said was I wouldn’t be comfortable until it’s mathematically impossible. That’s far away from me saying, “Man U are going to catch us and we will finish 28th in the league.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree - Palace need a few results but should be fully on the beach for our last match. Brentford will be a tough one no doubt. Bournemouth similarly might have nothing to play for by the time we play them. Whereas Forest and Burnley still have a chance to escape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s far away from me saying, “Man U are going to catch us and we will finish 28th in the league.” They aren't though. The actual teams who will compete for and one eventually winning the league this season aren't capable of nine league wins in a row as none of them have done it this season so far (Arsenal the closest with eight straight wins until it stopped yesterday). Last season Man. United finished comfortably top 4 and their longest winning run was 5 league games so similar type run to what we've done this season. So they aren't capable of it anymore compared to the Ferguson era. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 I always thought United were shit but even I had forgotten how shit. So fortunate to get anything from that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Trying to second guess the run in is just impossible in my opinion. Players can get injured. Teams can suddenly lose or gain form. I remember last season thinking we would never get 7th after the two one nil losses against Manure and The Dogheads. Then all of a sudden we went back into form . We need to make sure we beat Lille and help cement 5th place for Champs League. Thats what i want . Couldnt give 2 fcks about 4th if 5th can be confirmed , especially if as i believe tberes no qualifying rounds and just this new league format. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juanpablosaliceband Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 So excluding the four games we have in common, we play Brentford, Bournemouth, Brighton and Palace. Two home and two away. You’d hope all four will have little or nothing to play for when we play them, although Brentford are not safe yet. Spurs have West Ham away, Forest at home, Newcastle away, Burnley at home and Sheffield United away. Newcastle and West Ham away are very tough. Forest will be up for it to stay up. You’d hope Burnley might still be fighting for their lives in the second last game. I think 70 points would be a good return for Spurs. I’d take our fixtures every day of the week and twice on a Sunday, along with the fact we have three extra points on the board already. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must have a nicer mobile plan than I do: to speak to anyone as far as our rivals are from Villa, I have to pay extra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
