If we don’t win we will finish 6th if we do we will finish 5th We ain't dropping below United mate, unless we don't win any of the 6 left, an then we'll need a United turn around.

479Villan Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 It's our first season in Europe, we're in a quarterfinal, and we're 4th (call it 5th I don't give a toss). I'm disappointed we aren't 5 points clear in 4th also. But to have IMPROVED our league position over last year, with more games, and these injuries? It is okay to mix frustration with perspective. It won't blow your aorta into pieces. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool have to win tomorrow. Win tomorow and they will probs best Sheffield United and then are effectively 7 points behind us. They've then still got Newcastle a, Arsenal h, Palace a, Bournemouth a, Burnley h and Brighton a. I just dont see it. At worst we get 1ppg from now until the end of the season. They are not getting 19 points from those 8 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don’t win we will finish 6th if we do we will finish 5th Man Utd literally have to win 4 of their 8 games to get to the same points total we have now (60 points) and they’d still be below us on goal difference. They start the first of those games against Liverpool tomo…most of their defenders are out injured and they have only won two of their last six league games. Man Utd may not even get 60 points this season and that’s before us talking about any points we get additionally in our last six games which certainly won’t be zero. We won’t be dropping to 6th. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams are largely their record at this point. You can expect a wrinkle or two, but United aren't putting it together over the next 6 weeks. If it ain't together now, it won't get together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can expect a wrinkle or two, but United aren't putting it together over the next 6 weeks. If it ain't together now, it won't get together. They are conceding over 20 chances per game, have the highest shots against since the new year. They now have most of their defence out. Their target is more to keep hold of sixth place because Newcastle and West Ham are very close to them. They are more likely to be eighth than a close sixth behind us.

Popular Post PieFacE Posted April 6 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted April 6 I think we'll finish 5th now and that's fine. Should naturally still aim for 4th though but given our injuries and dip in form, it feels unlikely. Whether 5th is enough for CL or not is largely out of our control, so we just need to take care of our business and try to win to ECL to boost our chances. Whether we finish 5th and get CL or finish 5th and get Europa league it's still been a hell of a season, probably the best in my life time of following Villa. I find the constant negativity from some to be truly baffling. We've waited so long to be half decent. You gotta enjoy it a little now that we are. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
