UEFA Europa Conference League - Alkmaar, Legia and Zrinjski

[SoccerHQ]

It's on like Donkey Kong. Brentford have helped dent Spurs goal difference roo. But the Bees are on our tail now too!

Brentford could beat a mix and match Man. City 40-0 next weekend and it dosen't matter if we beat Brighton so that's a pretty simple formula regardless of what we do today.

More complicated with Spurs but way they reacted as soon as they went 1-2 down I can't see them doing much at fired up Leeds if they go behind.

Brighton also secure 6th now if we lose and they beat Southampton so given their endless fixtures over last month they won't be going full pelt v us.

All in all the prospects look very good for us now compared to two hours back so that's a little reward for all the hard work we've put in last three months.

For the sake of simplicity, I would like all the teams currently occupying 16th to 19th places to have matching results this weekend. We need leeds to believe they still have a chance.

Whatever happens now we are still in with a chance on the last game of the season.  If you had said that to me at the point of Gerrard leaving I would have thought you were raving bonkers!

We only need a point against Brighton to have European football providing we win this now v Liverpool.

You may have hexxed it.  You win fuck all at half time.

Not really, I predicted a win in the pre-match thread and stood by it when I saw the line-up in the match thread before kick-off today, knowing Emery's plans and tactics and hoping the players would follow instructions. Of course, just because I thought Villa would win doesn't mean anything. I can't be responsible and given any credit nor receive criticism.
I can keep my faith in my convictions.

I haven't taken my passport back out of the drawer but I have ordered an Atlas of Europe on Amazon.

We might well have to win next week, who knows, but it’s in our hands.

[IFWaters]

win and we are guaranteed europe of some kind. up to Brighton now to gt their Europa League place before they play us. watch out for brentford. but win and european football guaranteed,

[Drummond]

So, presuming Brighton win against Southampton, we need a win to be sure of conference and the Europa is gone.

Shame we couldn't hang on for the win.

[Footy-Vill]

Win next week and yes Villa will be in Europe next season

[OCD]

We just need to equal whatever Tottenham do. Leeds away won't be easy in their predicament.

Brighton may have already secured Europe before we play them and not be up for it as much as we will.

I'm not discounting Southampton winning 15-0 tomorrow to move us up to 6th.
