Marka Ragnos Posted April 29 VT Supporter Share Posted April 29 (edited) Blah blah blah blah if this or if that that or if the other ... We simply must beat Brighton, Pool, and Palace, and I think we can. Won't be easy, but when, tell me, has being a Villa fan ever been that?

Indigo Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Getting the league season over and done with ASAP feels especially important given the squad is being pushed to its limit now in terms of availability. It's a great time to play Brighton though and hopefully Spurs can do half the job by struggling in their tougher games. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 1 hour ago, Pinebro said: Spurs game against Chelsea will be massive If they lose that they allow us to have a free hit Yeah they lose that is huge. Liverpool at home will play for their fans and want to give a performance. They are very very hard to beat at Anfield. Then City going for the title it's hard to see Spurs getting a win in that. So if Chelsea beat Spurs on Thursday we can say Spurs at best 8 points from their final 4 games and we need 2 points to guarantee. If they manage to get 10 we need 4.

Spurs have 15 points available and we are 8 ahead with the goal difference. If we win and Spurs lose one more game we are 11 ahead and spurs have to win their last four games in a row.... including City, who need a win to get the title.....

Draw at Brighton, beat Liverpool and it's all over for sure. Couldn't care less what happens at Palace then as it'll be all about resting players for the final.

Yep. if Spurs lost their two games this week, which isn't THAT crazy a suggestion, then I doubt we need another point 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nepal_villan Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 (edited) Only once under Emery have we gone 3 matches without a victory. That was last year against Leicester, at Man City and Arsenal. If we can't manage 1 victory in our next 3 matches against arguably a weaker grouping of teams, it will be almost an unprecedented run under Emery and a monumental collapse on our part.

rubberman Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 4 hours ago, Tubby said: PPG form table still sees us fourth. It doesn't weight for most recent form, but reaffirms that we are a solid top 8 team despite the injuries, suspensions and game volume. I kind of get when you say 'barely a top 6 team' (previous post) and 'solid top 8 team', but we are still actually 4th by both of those metrics.

foreveryoung Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 (edited) Like has been said, we have Brightons number, that as good as 3 points. Unfortunately for us, no matter how shite Liverpool are, they have ours. Palace will hopefully be on the beach, as we will be knackered. Oh, an I'm hoping Tottenham won't be trying too hard at Man City. If they win that, Arsenal may win the the title, an they won't want that.

You're not wrong. WE are fourth, but we are competing with teams that are as good as us. We are in a group of teams that could finish 4th - 8th based on current performance. We won't this season, but it is an indicator that we need to improve (or stay fit!), to be able to compete next season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Are we ready for Champions league?.....missing out on the Europa, is a huge step up. Don't get me wrong, I want to achieve it, but I wonder, if we are actually ready for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
