tinker Posted March 20 VT Supporter Share Posted March 20 Sheffield will beat Spurs, Archer will score the winner and we will get 4th, this is the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayls Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 I’m still not seeing how some people are comfortable with how things stand as far as United are concerned. What am I missing? I get the 9 points clear (they have a game in hand) and the sizeable GD which acts as a point, but, if they end up being 6 behind, with our run and current form, it is almost theirs to lose… talk of a crazy turn around in results from our part and their part isn’t actually that far off… Very nervous. Wish I had the confidence that some of y'all have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By almost every metric, except for a small snapshot in January, we have been better than United at every turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are massively overrating United. They will also probably put it all into winning the cup now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish I had the confidence that some of y'all have. Mainly because there is only 10 games to make it right and we are 9 (10) points ahead. They need 3/4 wins more than us. If we win 4 then they need to win 7 or 8 out of 10. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get being nervous but the bit in bold is ridiculous. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also beat us twice in the space of a few weeks. They may not be the United they once were but they can still pull wins out their ass. Winning is a little harder for us to come by in the league since the start of the new year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

United fans believe they will do it. How about you believe Villa can do it? Edited March 20 by Vive_La_Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winning is a little harder for us to come by in the league since the start of the new year. And we have more points in the last 5. Better goal difference, better rolling point average, better xG, equal or maybe slightly worse xGA. And they have to overtake a 9 point gap (their game in hand is Chelsea). It’s the least likely of the possibilities to keep us out of UCL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villarule123 Posted March 20 VT Supporter Share Posted March 20 It would be fantastic if we could get even further ahead of United in the next couple of weeks and that 5th is guaranteed a CL spot so we could rest players in the league and have a proper crack at winning the UCL. If only it was that easy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 14 hours ago, colhint said: Don't think there are that many mid table teams this year. There's 8 European spots if the coefficients work well that takes us down to Bournemouth in 13th 7 points behind current 8 th place. Then maybe palace are not quite clear of relegation on 29 points so maybe them. Everybody else is in the relegation scrap. Bournemouth will be mid table when we play them in a few weeks. See how Brighton get on in next month but they might be out of euro contention by start of May and we always beat them regardless. With all these points deductions Palace probably only need 5-6 more points to be safe by the final day. 7 points from those teams and we're well on our way to securing 4th. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaJ100 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Man U are a concern but it's in our hands. If we get 5 more wins we'll be on 71. If Man U win every game they can only get 77. If they pull out that sort of form then they probably deserve it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
