Champions League Contention

[Demitri_C]

We really need a manure loss here.if that were to happen it would take a almighty collapse from us - worse than the season under MON

[PaulWinch again]

Such a critical win today. It was also really good that it was the second half where we controlled the game, so we finished strong rather than fading.

[PaulWinch again]

I really hope Antonio is available and Moyes keeps him on when West Ham play Spurs. He makes a massive difference to them.

[Smirker]

We're obviously making the CL. We're not going to fuck it up now.

5th place will almost certainly do it.

But I want 4th.

But either way, we are now firmly in Aston Villa Big 6 era.

It's been a long road back but we're finally here.

We're now better than Chelsea and Man Utd. Two clubs who dominated the previous decade.

It is our time.

I like your youthful enthusiasm, but could you at least wait ill the end of the Yanited game?

[eamonn]

Didn't realise how aerial Brentford are. We can't concede too many corners and free-kicks to them next weekend the way Yanited have tonight, they'll overpower us.

[PaulWinch again]

That equaliser for Brentford hopefully more or less finishes Manure.

Hopefully paul! Im still not going to count my chickens yet. If it was any other club id be thinking same. But this is manure the jammiest shittest club

[Demitri_C]

11 points clear of manure [8 if they win game in hand]

However we have 20 goal difference advantage over them so its more enough 12 or 9 if they win game in hand.

Man it would be a almighty collapse if they finish above us now

[Dave]

If one were to take on the mindset of the sort of neurotic Spurs fan who is posting on the Fighting Chickens or whatever their version of this place is, I imagine our game would have been a bit dispiriting.

Labouring to a stressful late home win against Luton* then seeing us flick Wolves aside without really getting out of third gear, a team that did the double over them this season.

It's the sort of evening that we would use as cast-iron proof of why, had it been the other way around, they had a stronger squad, had a better mentality etc.

*I appreciate our last game against Luton wasn't as easy as it could have been.

This was in an article in The Athletic this evening, not sure if it includes today's games, but it shows the importance of taking the lead.

If we were in their place I'm not sure how hopeful we would be!

This is why I can’t get upset over having the first leg at home in UECL, like seemingly all the podcasters are.
