R.Bear Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 If Spurs are still in it going into the final game, I have zero confidence we'll get a result. That's not to say Spurs will but my faith now rests completely on Man City. I don't expect anything but lacklustre performances (and results) from our last two games. I hope I'm badly wrong but Liverpool being 3-0 up or something in the first half seems almost probable right now. That's what I'm expecting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm taking absolutely nothing from Unai, not a single thing, the man is a legend and I can't believe where we're at this season BUT I think next season might be a lot more difficult, because I'd be amazed if Spurs, Chelsea, United or Newcastle are gonna sit back and watch the Villa Lion roar again. But also, Unai 4eva #loveheart #buildstatue #emerythelegend #heeatspaellahedrinksestrellahelovesthevilla We have roughly the amount of points to finish in the top 4 in pretty much every season. 70 is usually the barometer and we're 3 points off that with 2 games to go. What I'm trying to say is that there are rarely ever 4 teams better than this, so it doesn't matter how supposedly bad some of these teams are. Maybe they're not bad and we're just that good. We're better than United, Chelsea and Spurs. We have a better squad and a better manager. We deserve to be up here, this year or any other year. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post omariqy Posted May 11 Popular Post Share Posted May 11 I’m gonna enjoy it regardless. I’ve been a bit drained by it all but after watching the boys on Thursday give it their all, I’m super proud of them and have belief in them. They need us, no doubt. Even if we get Europa, it’s ok for me. A competition we can actually win. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 26 minutes ago, GlobalVillan said: The Spurs players couldn't give two shits about local rivalry. They are very likely pals with most of the Arsenal players as they certainly all hang out in places like Dubai. As with players of all PL clubs. Fans seriously overestimate how much the players care about such menial things as fan rivalries. They really couldn't care less and it's them that play the game, not the fans. Players don’t care but surely to have any chance of beating a rampant City that has 18 wins in the last 20 games you need the full support of the fans ? Or maybe not.

Popular Post Keyblade Posted May 11 Popular Post Share Posted May 11 Remember the feeling of securing UECL at home last season? Imagine the atmosphere if we're on the brink of UCL qualification against Liverpool. Ollie is on the cusp of 20 goals as well. I can see this team eeking out that last reserve of energy and going all out on Monday. Would be glorious. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bose Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 We need to try and enjoy it. Look where we were a few years ago? Even a couple of years ago under Gerrard? We are a Man City win away over a tired and out of form spurs team from confirming top four. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 We had a great league record against Brighton and still lost. Spurs's record at home against them means nothing. Pep is determined to win the league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What Unai has done is incredible, BUT we're also in a league where Chelsea, United and Spurs have been pap. I'm not cussing us AT ALL. But I am saying next season could be very difficult because those other teams aren't gonna settle for the mighty Villa pipping them to the post. It's a compliment to our current position, with a cautious nod to next season. This is fair points. That’s why the summer transfer activity is so important.

ben1505 Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Why did Spurs have their walk around the pitch applauding fans today… was it because this was their scheduled last home game and the one midweek is a postponed game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly, or I perhaps they realise more fans can stay longer after a saturday afternoon game than a midweek night game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben1505 Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 (edited) With Spurs only beating Burnley by 1 goal, it probably means that they have to beat Man City to overtake us. A draw may not be enough IF we lose both of our games by the odd goal. Of course, getting a draw against Liverpool means Spurs have to get a win v City. I think they could surprise City with a draw but i’d not be confident in backing a victory over them. City have been poor away to Spurs recently but none of these games were this close to the end of the season with the title on the line AND none of those games were managed by a gung-ho manager… Angeball will totally suit Pepball Edited May 12 by ben1505 Error 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actively making noise when they attack or joining in Man C115y songs? Not a chance that's happening. Spurs will lose anyway.

Watching Spurs today Maddison and Kulesevski looked off it , the latter caught on ball numerous times. Without Ricarchlison they lack a focal point and improved when Son was moved wide left late 2nd half.The left side of defence is an issue City will exploit. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben1505 Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Did anyone actually watch the Burnley game? It was on at 2am here so I surprisingly didn't bother... Did the 2-1 flatter Burnley? If not then I don't think an in-form City will struggle against a Spurs side that just sneaked past Burnley.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
