They're only +1 in terms of points gained after 85 minutes. We are +5.

Well if you contrived your predictions to think of almost the worse case scenario, then its really easy to see why we'd be 6th in the next 3 games. As all of a sudden we're apparently awful, so awful a point is the limit of our ambitions from Wolves away and Chelsea at home.

Mentally weak.

You know we're not the players, right? The fans can be as mentally weak as they like if the team's good (cf. all the teams that win things and their shitty fans).

You can be as mentally strong as you like (and I have no doubt you are) but it means fuck all if Watkins tries to control a long ball on his left tibia.

Chelsea have a dificult list of fixtures, we will finish above them.

Sounds selfish but I'd be disappointed if we didn't finish third. We've been there for so long.

Now you come to mention it, I had been wondering why the Villa had not paid me in a while.

Doesn’t sound particularly selfish, I imagine everyone on here wants that.

Even if we finish second? Or first?

The mood music isn't brilliant.

But it looks to me like we're unbeaten in 3 in the league, 5 points from 9. Kind of form that would be comfortably enough to get us home.

We'll be competitive in our big head to heads - we always are - against Chelsea, United, Liverpool, City. There's at least one win in there, if not a couple.

I think we'll do it, but only just.

After last year, and with pretty much our entire midfield currently missing, 'only just' would be good enough.

Just frustrating that barring injuries and one almighty dropped bollock at Old Trafford, we'd be looking at our third consecutive season of CL qualification.
