The reality is, if we don't hit Chmpion's league this season, we are likely to get asset stripped of some of best players, and we'll never be able to break into it. Unfortunately we've lost all form at a time where just one win would have seen us secure Champions league. Spurs have 6 points pretty much gift wrapped for them so they're only 1 point behind us... I think there's every right to be concerned and if you're not concerned based on the football gods historically shitting on us.... I don't see the positivity at this stage, sorry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 (edited) I honestly wouldnt be surprised if we lost the next 2 and still make 4th. Would be amazed if Spurs got anything from city game. But if they some how managed to at least we would know what needs to be done in the next game. It’s a shame how the season is ending but the injuries were always going to catch up with the team eventually.

They didn't lose to a piss poor Brighton side who had been woeful for weeks. They now get to play 2 teams that have pretty much been propping up the league all season.

Wainy316 Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 We just need one of 5 different fixtures to go our way.....surely! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Dogg Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 City aren't throwing away the title with 2 games left, that doesn't bloody happen. This would be a different story if Spurs were playing literally anybody else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see the positivity at this stage, sorry The positivity is that we're 2 games away from the end of the season and we're 4th. 4th! That's f'ing incredible! The football gods historically crap on us? If anything, we've almost had plot armour these past 5 years with what we've been doing: somehow getting some of the best owners in the world as opposed to asset stripping chancers during our darkest moment, the incredible run to get playoff promotion, the Sheffield United non-goal helping to keep us up, Europe on the final day last season. Burnley have lost 2 in 9 and will be fighting for their lives. Hardly 'gift wrapped' points for a Spurs that have looked lost lately. Then they're up against a Man City having their annual unstoppable end of season form. Relax, see what happens. And the permutations are all moot if we grab a single point against an inconsistent Liverpool or a Palace that will probably be on the beach.

Vive_La_Villa Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 2 minutes ago, ben1505 said: and there is a reality where Spurs get something from that game... Of course it’s possibility but so unlikely! I remember once Spurs had to beat United last game of the season for Arsenal to win the league. They took the lead and then embarrassing just rolled over to let United win 2-1. Different situation as I don’t think they had anything to play for but you do wonder if they go a couple of goals down how much fight they will have left and how much fans will even be behind them. Fans would rather finish 5th than Arsenal win league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's it in a nutshell that's why Spurs are currently 16/1 to make fourth, maybe worth a punt even if its to soften the blow if the very unlikely was to happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans don't play the game though...... it doesn't matter what the fans want to happen... 9 times out of 10, this City team beat Spurs but that 1 in 10 chance is the one that often bites Villa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those two games are largely irrelevant though, they still have to get at least a draw from the City game, it’s all on that for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the draw that concerns me... the draw will be enough for them as they'll turn the GD around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
