Kiwivillan Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 11 minutes ago, GingerCollins29 said: Done in both means we fail to get 4th and knocked out of CL. With Emi, we do both. Olsen in goal means we play deeper to protect him and he concedes 2 plus goals in the majority of games he plays We can beat Brighton with Olsen in goal. We beat Spurs away 2-0 with him in goal before. Emi out has nothing to do with Spurs next 2 games and if they lose both and we beat Brighton we can't lose 4th place. Emi can't play first leg against Olympiakos anyway 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the only thing that will motivate them to play their best is if Man City and Arsenal both lose on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwivillan Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Actually now I think about it, if fingers crossed we've secured 4th after Pool v Spurs game we should play Olsen in goal for rest of league games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omariqy Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 I’d be very surprised if 4th is done and dusted by the end of this weekends games. This is football and Villa. More than likely we go into the last game needing a point and are 1-0 down with 2 minutes to go! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colhint Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 (edited) My thought on Spurs remaining fixtures. Chelsea want European football this season and have a good shout for it. So when they play spurs they will definitely be up for it Liverpool still can mathematically win the title when they play spurs. So they will be up for it. Burnley can still avoid relegation, they will be up for it. Even if they lose I don't think it will be a thrashing. Man City have a minus 7 goal difference to arsenal. Arsenal have Bournemouth at home this weekend, if they win that, it means City cannot afford to draw with Spuds they have to win the game in hand to keep the ball in their court.

Of course but I thought winning both games against Brentford and Chelsea when leading 2-0 was a realistic possibility. I just think there are some twists and turns left yet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 I'd be wary of Brighton, they're on a bad run, we have good record against them, and we have been on a good run, but these kind of records are dangerous because they inevitably end at some point. Also for some reason their fans really hate us, I had a look on their forum after our U21s beat them, and they were really bitter about that, a number of comments alluding to how they were looking forward to ending our Champions League hopes towards the end of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of their players are getting back and a few were on the bench today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know I just get the feeling it will go to the wire. All the injuries we've had and with what happened with 5th not getting CL. Just points towards another twist. I hope not and I would expect Spurs to get a maximum of two points in their next two games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 We have looked a top four side all season and Spurs aren't going to catch us now. Scoreboard pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Villan_of_oz Posted April 29 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted April 29 We will get 4 points from the next 3 matches, Therefore Spurs would have to get 11 points and turn around a minus 6 goal difference, or get 12 points m, from their last 5 matches .... I get it is mathematically possible but only based on two teams completely abandoning form they have shown over a sample size of 33-35 matches... We are finishing 4th If we don't finish 4th, you can take your misery out on me, I am fair game for it now. But.... We are going to finish 4th and hopefully be in a European cup final 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
