They need to be at their best to retain 5th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakers29 Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 On paper, Spurs should get 6 points out of their last three games, giving us the 4th spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully get a few back this week. nice thought. unfortunately injuries have crippled the squad and the ones left are absolutely exhausted, not to mention the small matter of a tough semi final game in 3 days. the fact of the matter is that we need the help of teams like city because winning even just one of our last 2 games isn't going to be easy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post OutByEaster? Posted May 6 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted May 6 It's great this isn't it? Anxiously working out every possible permutation of the race for a Champions league place that we're big favourites for. It's only four years ago that we were 19th with two games to go, four points behind Watford, with a worse goal difference and with Arsenal next up. This particular pressure is truly a privilege. 35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Just heard on a podcast that we’ve played 53 games so far this season. By contrast, Spurs have played 37 games. Not sure if those numbers are accurate but it’s incredible with all our squad injuries that we’ve managed to maintain fourth place for the majority of the season. Truly impressive. We’re going to be a very attractive proposition for potential incoming players if we secure a Champions League spot. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Spurs are likely to beat both Burnley and Sheffield United, but they have to avoid defeat against Manchester City next Tuesday, to have any hope of denying us 4th. Even if we lose our last two, they would need a point against Manchester City and to make up the 9 goal difference advantage, that we have over them. Both of those are possible, but the first is less so. i really can't see them beating Citeh and I would be shocked if they even got a point. Not long to go now until (we are Dick & Mutley by the way): 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marka Ragnos Posted May 6 VT Supporter Share Posted May 6 (edited) The word IF is used 13 times on this page. That's 14 now. Lot of managing and coping with unknowns and hopes and fears and fiddly margins etc. It all feels like trying to pick up a puddle of water with one hand. Totally understand that. I sort of don't get when people feel the need to regulate and have the last word about others' excesses of negativity or positivity instead of just letting people be their bleeping silly and gloriously complicated Villa-fan selves. I guess that's human nature, too? What a funny old time this is though. Seems like one of those watershed moments, where people will one day be like, "Do you remember in May of 2024 when Villa were still this close but not quite there yet???? Would be funny to re-read this thread next year. #UTV Edited May 6 by Marka Ragnos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 I really don't want it to go to the last day. I just know that Palace game is going to go the way this Brighton one went. We'll be gassed, and overwhelmed by the atmosphere at Selhurst Park as we always are. My heart won't be able to take the inevitable goal that goes in at the home end, with the fans bouncing etc. Then looking over to Spurs and seeing they're up 4-0 on Sheffield United.

Zatman Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Would swear Crystal Palace with the 15th best home record in the league were Real Madrid with some of the responses. If we have to worry about going to Palace then can imagine the fear when actual big boys Bayern or PSG come come to town 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Reading through the last pages seems all about if we don't win another game before the end of the season. I think if we need to, we would beat Palace. We would just throw everything at them, not needing to conserve ourselves for another game, there season will already be over, so they won't wanna go in hard and risk injuries, holidays will already be booked. It won't take that though, as I just cannot see Tottenham beating City. I don't think they are even bothered about 4th place, listening to. 'big Ange', as he wants to keep his job, an with CL next season, he will be seriously under pressure. Don't lose sight of Burnley being the one to watch for Tottenham though, last chance saloon for them, they will be fighting for there status, an I wouldn't fancy that game at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much better side with those fit and their new manager as I’m sure they will show tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
