It isn’t going to happen I think it’s because they have Sheffield United and Burnley, they could both be big victories. Draw with City. We could lose badly against Liverpool and lose 1-0 to Palace. It’s unlikely but I understand the worry. We’ll finish fourth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumstopdogs Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 We clearly should get the CL, the most likely scenario is we will but with City’s league record away at Spurs it still isn’t quite there. Expect City will win but Spurs always look like scoring (and conceding!) so you just never know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im confident though - I just wish we had got it done today so we could go all-out on Thursday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we are good, and Spurs are done, but also totally understand how quickly it could switch and we could need something vs Palace. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Made In Aston Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Thank **** we have points on the board already as I'm not convinced we will win another game this season.The players look knackered and we have no options from the bench. If we were in spurs's position there would be zero chance of us getting 4th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul33 Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Be serious folks, Spurs will get a mighty drubbing against City and that is season over for them and CL for us ..... we don't need any more points and we probably won't get any more but the Liverpool game could be a nice way to make sure and make CL at Villa Park !!!

CVByrne Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 1 minute ago, juanpablosaliceband said: It wouldn’t be that enormous. For it to come down to goal difference, we’d have to lose two games and spurs win two and draw one. If they put four or five past Sheffield United, they will probably beat our goal difference. Liverpool leaking those goals is annoying. Exactly I outlined above, let's say there's a 4 goal swing next weekend, we lose 2-0 and they win 2-0 or we lose 1-0 and they win 3-0. Then we're down to a 5 goal lead and they play Sheffield who are done and gone and concede lots of goals. We lose 1-0 and Spurs win 4-0 and they have it on goals scored Those 2 extra goals today matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villarule123 Posted May 5 VT Supporter Share Posted May 5 (edited) Spurs won't beat City, even if they wanted to, which they don't. Edited May 5 by villarule123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Spurs win their last three then we would very likely have to win one of our last two, basically Palace away. This was in a conversation about what happens if Spurs draw with Burnley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yes, if we lose all of our games by loads of goals and spurs win all their games by loads of goals then we’re ****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn’t have to be loads — they could beat Burnley and Sheffield 3-0 each, draw with City, and watch us lose 3-0 to Liverpool and 1-0 against Palace.

TheMightyVillans Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Would love to see a poll with spurs fans if they would rather beat city with a chance of getting champs league or lose and prevent arsenal winning title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam2003 Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Spurs still 16/1, so it’s obviously wildly in our favour. But it isn’t done. Grealish winner for City vs Spurs please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlobalVillan Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 (edited) For me, this weeks results have brought the season to an end. We will finish 4th and we reached a semi final. Thats how it will end. We don't meed another point. The players are knackered and we won't reach the final. Not 2 down. But 4th and a semi final. What a season!

Grealish winner for City vs Spurs please As I said earlier, it’s FAR more likely than it was yesterday after today’s results. People are acting like the results today made it closer. It didn’t. Every game that passes without Spurs getting closer puts it more in our favour. As shit as our game was today, today‘S results made it MORE likely that we’ll get top 4. Not less 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone needs to relax I agree, I think it will be over following the Spurs - City game. People should relax a little more. They won’t. I’d love to know what this place would be like if both Villa and Spurs had won today. How fraught people would have been seeing Spurs drag us back to just a 7 point lead.

From my research the majority prefer losing to ensure Arsenal don’t win. I know Spurs fans who are convinced the seasons over and hope that Ange plays U21s against Man City, lol.
