With nothing better to do I've just been looking at a table predictor putting in all the results between now and the end of the season, and being realistic 8th/9th is looking most likely.

If, however, we say bollocks to that and just assume we're going to win all 11 remaining games then 4th place is still on - Champions League here we come.

We beat Leicester and Forest and we're bang in the race for 4th nevermind 6th-7th looking at the table.

Was going to say, whilst it's very much up the "once in a blue moon" end of probability, we are only 9pts off 3rd right now.


Edit: this should in no way be taken as me thinking there's any possibility of that actually happening, more a comment that the whole of the table up to 3rd is pretty tight...

Leicester is absolutely huge now. Just because they are in the bottom 3 I don't think it will be a given we will win. I expect it to be very hard as they are in the shit now and are at home.

I'd take a 1-0 Barkleyesque game.

Of the teams chasing Europe in 6th-11th positions, very few have our momentum at the minute.

We still have to play the three teams between us and 6th place.
We also have to play Newcastle and Tottenham.

I've said this in previous seasons and it hasn't turned out to be the case but what the hell let's go for it again. This villa squad are the great white shark of the premier league. Spent a lot of time in the murky depths before powering upwards with great force to seize the prize from the unsuspecting fat tourists above. There will be little warning before a 5 game winning run at the end of the season sweeps all before us like prawns wriggling around trying to swim for their lives. All home games the team should now run out to Jaws soundtrack.

If it didn't work when we had Bruce....
Can't you hear it?
Duh duh duh duh
