chrisvilla4 Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 No surprise, thankfully gd not really affected. 4th is ours, may be over Monday or midweek It's been an incredible but exhausting season for me as well as the players. UTV. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one_ian_taylor Posted May 11 VT Supporter Share Posted May 11 5 minutes ago, VillaChris said: Yeah I do think this thread has become incredibly entitled. After we lost 4-0 to Spurs in March we weren't favourites for 4th at all as they had a better GD, were two points off us and had a game in hand. Even going into the Arsenal game they were playing Newcastle first and would've gone three clear of us with a win. But they didn't and we've done really well to work a commanding lead with a far better GD. We've put the hard yards in and that should just be about enough to see them off so I'd rather focus on that than constantly moan we haven't secured CL yet. It's a bit like posters claiming we should be 20 points clear of Man. United or something. We are still a long way off the level of getting 75-80 points in this league, our squad depth says it all. Lots to like in this post, but... still mathematically possible for us to be over 20 points clear of Man U by next weekend 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven't lost two premier league games on the bounce in over a year and despite the injuries I don't see that happening on Monday. We couldn't write a better way to secure Champions League football than under the lights at a rocking Villa Park. Id like to think I'm positive, we will get CL But that in bold ain't gonna happen VP will be doom and gloom Monday night, too jittery, too many nerves, flatter than a witches tit after about 3 minutes (which will then be blamed on the players) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they win with Skipp at left back or whatever, then fair play to them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 (edited) Wild to me how some people are investing so much time into arguing that Spurs will get points against City whilst dismissing the possibility of that we won’t pick up any. Baffling. Edited May 11 by The_Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven't played City in March April or May and it's a different ball game. We beat City earlier this season ourselves, but we wouldn't beat them if we played them now.

Mic09 Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 (edited) I think that of we look at the overall picture, it's a pretty safe bet we get top four, I'd say 95% chance. The reason I think people are worried is that if you break it down into individual games the outook becomes less certain. Spurs win against forest by a good margin (very likely) and maybe win/draw against city (weirder things have happened). We look on our last legs, and we have one of the best teams to play (plop) and a high flying palace. Not easy games at all. I'm not worried, I think we will do it (and I think we'll do it on Monday), but it's not a certainty, it's not even that crazy to assume Tottenham will make it across the line.

It’s not impossible we miss out: Anything is possible no matter how unlikely. I think it’s the loser talk of some fans saying they think we will miss out that winds people up. I get everyone entitled to their opinion but at this moment in time there’s no real basis to thinking that way apart from having a negative loser lack of belief mentality.

Popular Post useless Posted May 11 Popular Post Share Posted May 11 Would be brilliant if we could secure Champions League qualification, seventy points, and for Watkins to become the first Villa player to score twenty league goals in a season since Peter Withe, all in one night against Liverpool this Monday 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a very good record in the last five years and the atmosphere usually matches that and gees the players on. They'll be a hangover from going out of Europe though and early Liverpool goal will get the less confident moaning. Regardless of that I don't think we have the personnel to contain them unless Tielemans is out there as then we will be playing three centrally and so can get tighter to likes of MacAlister.
