useless Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Bournemouth not winning this game might not be such a bad thing for us, we don't want them too confident coming into our game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Only2McInallys Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 I just looked at Newcastle next 6 fixtures and apart from Man United the other 5 are against bottom 5 sides. They also seem to be picking up a bit of form.I do worry that fatigue ,injuries and loss of confidence in defence may mean we finish the season poorly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they stick with Ten Hag who is clearly out of his depth. We have 5th but it’s all about 4th now. It’s the injuries and suspensions that are our undoing. So frustrating. Unless missed some sarcasm, United have no right to be challenging top 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aren’t playing well enough over the last few weeks and months to finish 4th, even 5th, but there’s so many poor teams this season that keep messing up when they have a chance to close the gap, United a prime example and Tottenham too. We’ll finish 4th or 5th but by default more than anything. We're on course to finish in a higher position and on more points than last season despite playing a lot more games and having to cope with significant injuries too. Liverpool, Spurs, Chelsea & West Ham all underperformed last season also. If you can't appreciate the progress we're making then football might not be for you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle could win all 6 of their remaining games and we’d more than likely still finish above them Stop doing this to yourselves. Spurs are the only team that matters in the prem for Villa. We won’t finish above or behind anyone else Edited April 13 by Stevo985 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football is for me, I’ve followed it all my life and who are you to tell me what I should or should not enjoy. I wasn’t slandering the team, just being honest, I really do rack my brains why you guys are so sensitive sometimes. We aren’t playing like a top 4/5 team currently and if you can’t see that then I don’t know what to say. Injuries may partially explain it but Newcastle have had a horrendous injury list and still look very good. I personally think Kamara has been a big loss from the guys missing and maybe Mings (but he was missing in the first half of the season too where we looked very good and better than last season), but we still have enough talent on the pitch to be performing better than we are, especially defensively. If you don’t agree fine, maybe football isn’t for you then. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blunther Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 That’s mental from VAR. on the line is in the box isn’t it? And if the foul continues int he box it’s a pen. I don’t see how var can confidently overturn that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll finish 4th or 5th but by default more than anything. The average points to finish 4th and 5th in the Premier League over the past 10 years is 68.8 and 64 points, respectively. We're currently on 60 points - with 6 games remaining. Virtually every team has differing form over a 38 game season, so why would us finishing on a point total around the average for 4th or 5th place be down to other teams 'messing up' this season, when the average points per position table doesn't show that? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
