Some potentially good news. Spurs have had their game with chelsea booked in for 2nd may accordingto sky

So that means they have a tough home game vs arsenal then this tough game away to Chelsea then away to liverpool straight after. All those games are even before the away game at Newcastle

Then they still have city to play somewhere in that. I would imagine that would be between the burnley and sheff utd final game

Horrific run for them

They could do with a season ending injury or two for one of their key players, rather than a couple of weeks off and candelit vigils on Fleet St.

It's a great set of fixtures.
After the forest match Sunday I don't think Spurs will win any of Newcastle away  Arsenal home , Chelsea away Liverpool away by the time they play Burnley 11th may be over for them I hope

The thing is you can never predict results at this stage of the season, there are always some batshit games that are completely unexpected, everyone is tired and injuries are taking their toll.

Bayern Munich don't appear to be in great form, okay form but not good enough to win the CL.  I can see Arsenal beating them over the two legs.

Rather encouraged by Spurs' run of games.

So just to simply spurs fixtures

A Newcastle
H ARSENAL
A Chelsea
A Liverpool

Thats a horrific run of games. If they win all four of them they deserve 4th.

Then somewhere in there citeh

We will have wrapped up 4th place long before we play Liverpool at home. Stuff 5th place qualification. I hope spuds miss out and 5th is europa league.

Sounds like a Jam/Weller b-side.

There hopefully won't be any imaginary darts thrown and plenty of injuries for the likes of Son and Leicester stupid haircut.

If we're in the top 4 in April, I'll take this seriously.

From page 1 of this thread. Hi Pete. We all thought the same yet here we are.
Actually.
I started the thread for a reason. It was a true honour.
I hope that in the next eight games, we can all be positive as everyone now believes we are in contention for the Champions League.
Over the course of this thread was a lot of blood, sweat, and tears for me along the way ever since my opening post in November. I had to keep believing and fight our very clubs Villa corner . I was insulted, ridiculed and questioned.

I pushed tirelessly for this thread bumping when it was being overlooked and for when no one considered discussing and there were calls to close it!
I had to wait until more people entered the discussion and bought into the idea of Champions League contention because I could see how amazing Emery was

Looking back there's some pride, that I kept going but also with concern about some of the treatment and sadness it brought me.
It was difficult to grasp because all I wanted to do was try to spark positivity and share joy in discussing how high a level Villa could be achieving .

I always believed it was reasonable what I said and encouraged others who were interested to discuss the same, though others felt required to participate negatively or diminish discussion they just weren't ready.

Well, we are all ready now and rallying behind our men's squad to succeed!

Up the Villa!
