Villa lose on Monday, Spurs lose on Tuesday, Villa fans can stop crying on Wednesday, and on Thursday, Friday and Saturday and chill on Sunday. Worst Craig David impression ever. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's gonna take a lot more seasons consistently getting into those places to establish itself as Spurs did in 2010s, including few CL qualifications, hopefully first on the way. Of course the revenue gap will likely hold and big 6 will still be hard to catch up, but that's why I said decade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just pointed out thay we did ot last year as well. We will be top 8 again next season I'm sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Made In Aston Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 (edited) 1 hour ago, sharkyvilla said: Unai said to the interviewer the other day that he only wanted to hear positivity. That's what every fan should give between now and the end of the season, otherwise they probably don't deserve to watch CL football. I'll tell Unai to keep the **** away from this thread until the end of the season then! Edited May 11 by Made In Aston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villarule123 Posted May 11 VT Supporter Share Posted May 11 There is absolutely no reason to panic or get stressed yet. If Liverpool beat us and Spurs beat City, then it's time to get nervy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd take it if it meant Champions League qualification. However form would be a major disappointing factor as it's often used as something to build upon in preseason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stratvillan Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 IF Spuds draw against Citeh, and we lose by a couple to Pool, than I'll start getting a little nervous. I think it could go to goal difference. Spurs City 1 - 1 Villa Pool 0-2 Spurs 3 points behind - GD of 6 Spurs beat Sheff U 4 0, we would have to lose by 1. OR Spurs lose to Ciy because Spurs are poor, and we beat Pool with Klopp being red carded. Who knows? I'm more nervous about Tuesday than Monday!

Hoping for the former I know what you’re getting at. Ideally it shouldn’t be the same eight (or X number) of clubs occupying the top places. But I’m looking at them, there’s a certain “yeah…looks about right for the foreseeable” inevitable feel about it. Hopefully Liverpool falter post Klopp, Man City are sent packing to Sunday league football (if the Dog & Duck will agree to face them of course) and Man Utd continue to push the comedic envelope as far as they can to mix things up. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinker Posted May 11 VT Supporter Share Posted May 11 If spurs play like they did against Burnley then there's no fear at all, they looked as flat as we did against Brighton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presently I'm actually disappointed Unai Emery hasn't addressed it this season otherwise we'd be in a European final... But hey injuries and stuff too has killed us too.
