How can you get 97 points and still not win the title?! The other team accumulated more points. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avfc1982am Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 I think we'll have a much harder 2nd half of the season tbh with some tough away games and being unable to sustain the incredible home form. I also think we are still 3 top players away for having the depth to sustain the top 4 challenge. Another RB, CDM & CF. If we do however manage to stay in the pack for the distance, then Emery will have produced a miracle. He already has to be fair to him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DakotaVilla Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 I don’t think there is a single Villa fan in the world who genuinely thinks we are going to win the league. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aston Villa winning the league is more likely, so I'm sure a lot of fans thinks we are going to do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To get top 5, we will need to finish above 2 of Newcastle, Man United and Spurs. We need those 3 to lose their games whenever possible. Man City are alllowed to play in our league with their own financial doping rules and will win the league comfortably. Easily 5 to 10 points clear. And again next year. And the year after that. They are playing with a fixed deck and that will be the difference when the business end of the season comes around and they can play 2 sets of billion pound starting 11's whilst everyone else has to follow the rules and suffer injuries, fatigue and suspensions. Its disgusting but thats the way it is. After that, Liverpool and Arsenal are likely to battle it out for 2nd and 3rd. We are only ever a Luiz, Kamara, McGinn injury away from looking very fragile as the last 3 games have shown. I hope that we can fix that one day, but it wont be this season. After the top 3, its wide open but Spurs and Villa could complete the top 5. We need to keep Newcastle and Man United as far back as possible as they are teams we could finish above. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet here we are, joint top going into the new year, having had a couple of disappointing results and hit by injuries & suspensions. I'm still on the believe train. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Liverpool will beat Newcastle. However their next three after are Bournemouth and Arsenal away and Chelsea at home. They aren't winning all three without Salah. So I do think we will have another chance this season to win a game and go top which will be pretty cool. Let's hope we step up on the night if that happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This season we have been presented the opportunity to go top numerous of times, and each time we have failed to capitalise on the opportunity. If Newcastle beat Liverpool 7-0 and Arsenal fails to win against Fulham, we will go top for two weeks, without any possibility that we can mess it up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
