Champions League Contention

[Clampy]

As boring as it sounds, just one game at a time for me.

We are posting on an 'internet forum'; we don't have to worry about what people think if it doesn't happen. Why not let yourself dream a little?

It's not the case of what other people think, I couldn't care less. I just prefer taking each game as it comes.

[Bad English]

Edit. Too pissed to argue.

I get the adage of taking each game as it comes.
But I do want to point out something coming in 3 games time.
The optimistic , planners and dreamers alike take a note of this coming up:

Friday night December 22nd Aston Villa at home to Sheffield United.
Liverpool Vs Arsenal on Saturday 23rd
Man City don't have a fixture because of the club championship

Aston Villa can be in very healthy position after those fixtures.
Feliz Navidad
I wanna wish for an Emery Christmas! From the fortress Villa Park!!

[Risso]

Luiz Navidad, surely?!

[Footy-Vill]

Luiz Navidad, surely?!

So demandante!
Haha very good!

How Villa produced one of the great Premier League wins

[Goldenballs]

They didn't play a 4-1-4-1 did they? Stones was in midfield

El Maestro:
On comparison to Leicester City title winning team:

"It was amazing what they achieved, But it is very, very difficult. We are going to do it our way, we are going to build a team and in our style.

We must be consistent, and the mentality is important, and there is still a lot of work to do. There is another experience we will face against Arsenal.. a big test.

Of course, we have to dream always. I am dreaming and sometimes my dreams are very important for me as an aspiration to get my best.”

At least they have Champions League highlights.BBC TV licence fee will go up next year from an annual £159 to £169.50.

The men's Champions League is to be broadcast on BBC TV from the 2024-25 season.

Highlights will be shown from 22:00 on the Wednesday of match weeks on BBC TV, BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website and app, with clips for online and social media also available.

Well the game is a game of two halves, the first half and the second half.

Every time I allow myself to dream there's this severed demon's head on a silver platter chasing me...

Presently 4/5 odds on to finish top 4.

Presently 4/5 odds on to finish top 4.

71 points has been 4th last two seasons. 22 games to get another 36 points. Still think it's a tall ask. Really hope likes of Moreno and Ramsey can give us a boost over the next number of weeks. Bailey and Tielemans have picked it up a lot.
