Champions League Contention

[Footy-Vill]

2023/24
1    Liverpool        +38 Pts 60
2    Man City         +33 Pts 59
3    Arsenal           +39 Pts 58
4    Aston Villa    +21 Pts 52


I think it's only 4 wins if we beat Spurs.
Given the fact that Spurs have a run of Newcastle, Man City , Chelsea , Arsenal , Liverpool back to back then beat them next week and very positive indeed.

So 5 wins(include spurs) and 3 draws from 12 matches
Could have champions league more or less wrapped up before international break!

Luton Town (a)
Tottenham Hotspur (h)
West Ham United (a) 2pm
Wolverhampton Wanderers (h)
Manchester City (a)
Brentford (h)
Arsenal (a)
Bournemouth (h)
Chelsea (h)
Brighton (a)
Liverpool (h)
Crystal Palace (a)

Apart from Newcastle, we've got to play all those teams too.

6 wins for me, especially if it includes the Tottenham game, and I think we're more or less there. Win these next 2 games and if Spurs and United fail to win today and the gap would start to look insurmountable.

They have to play them back to back major differences.
I always said Spurs concede too many goals to be taken seriously so it's up to Villa really for the wins.
I can see Palace getting something today at Spurs and Man City beating Man Utd .

Wow, just realised we have already equaled the total points we won in 1998-99, the year our title challenge collapsed in January 1999. That season has haunted me. We were flying up to Christmas but we won a grand total of 12 points between February- May 1999.

We have just picked up 12 points from our last 5 games! Some 'slump'! One particularly haunting demon from my teenage years has just been banished. Thank you Mr Emery.

Avoid defeat at all costs. Spurs have a game in hand so if we lose they go above us if they win both games.

If take a draw if offered now

So would I.

Keeps Spurs five points off us and they have as tough a run in as we do imo.

Essentially now we need 5 more wins and the odd draw as I can't see Spurs overhauling us if we finish on 71-72 points.

Not bad with eleven games still to play.

[Bad English]

I will take 3 points and fuck off Spurs thank you very much! A point indeed!

Massive 3 consecutive wins. Was so deflated after the Man Utd game but if we beat spurs now, I think we can do it and not be Villa for a change.

Emery says after the match in sky interview
"We are not contender, we are not contender maybe at game week 33 , 34 if we are still there then yes we are contender "

He also said we cannot still rule out Tottenham, Manchester United even Chelsea and Newcastle.

Even a draw against them would be a good result.

We just cannot lose.
