UEFA Europa Conference League - Alkmaar, Legia and Zrinjski

[Footy-Vill]

1981: Aston Villa seal their first league title for 71 years despite losing their final game of the season 2–0 to Arsenal as Ipswich Town lose 2–1 to Middlesbrough, their third League defeat in four matches.

That was destiny.

And so this season can be....

I'm crossing my fingers that we can get European football this season I think we can.

Just need Brighton to slip up at the weekend and lose to Man City and it is still all to play for.  Even if they draw at the weekend and lose to Man City, then even if we lose on Saturday then we will only be two points behind them going into the last game.

I really hope it goes to the last day as the atmosphere at VP will be special.

I really hope so but seems unlikely that Brighton won't beat the one of the worst premier legaue teams around for some time. Brighton getting to 61 points, with their goal difference would probably be too much to overcome imo

Yeah, this was always the problem. Them having Southampton left meant I didn't have much hope on that front, I think they'll flatten them. Although that can all change if we beat Liverpool (and the officials).

All hinges on Man City turning up against them, and us claiming 6 pts from our 2 remaining games. Do that, we have Europa, as Spurs will lose to Brentford and draw with Leeds.

My boss is a West Ham fan and he is cock-a-hoop this morning, and he said all their fans are, that they have made the conference final.  I think it would still be a brilliant springboard for us to re-enter European competition, so I'm all for it if that's where we end up.

I still find it hard to reconcile some Villa fans not wanting what West Ham have had the last 3 years in terms of Europe.

As a Belgian mate of mine told me once ... you don't remember getting a draw in a difficult 3rd round tie - lifting the trophy is the bit you remember.  It doesn't matter if the team you play in the final was shit.

I hope they win it. They've respected the competition all the way through despite their league position. I'll expect us to do the same.

That's a fair shout. I don't like West Ham but they are a proper club and it will mean a lot to them, which is how it should be.

Absolutely. Two great runs they've had.

My (Spurs) brother in law reckons that if City or Spam win their finals it creates extra places for English teams next year.
He's talking shite, right?
