Champions League Contention

[Ads]

I dont really bet, but the one I have made the last year was Man City, Liverpool and us to all win the European competitions we're in.

I took that too. Got 45-1. Tenner on. Current cash out is a meagre £35!

I don't bet but that one really tempted me as well.

My mate who bets on football a lot asked me for a few suggestions about Villa this year so I gave that and one for us to win 20 games and score more than 70 goals which is looking pretty good, not sure what odds he got on it but I think it was pretty decent.

I am a pessimist by nature but i think some perspective is required by myself and others

2019 / 2020 - stayed in premier league by a single point
2020 / 2021 - finished 11th
2021 /2022 - finished 14th
2022 / 2023 - finished 7th (even with the hindarence of Stevie Me)
4.5 years on and we have almost maintained a top 4 place for majority of season and its not over yet
We are in a European qtr final to boot with a squad that is now threadbare and in some cases running on fumes

Lets get behind them to the end  - they deserve it for a monumental season and there will be plenty of twists and turns left

Ooh, the 70 goals one is a very good shout. See if you can find out what the odds were.

The last time I had a bet was on a MON team away at Chelsea. That looks a decent punt at those odds though.

He's in Norway so it's not the same markets as over here but he got 30-1 on it.

I just don't want us to do a Leicester, ie stay in the top 4 for the majority of the season, but then stuff it up right at the end. I think the only games where we've put two good halves together in 2024 in the league were Fulham and Sheffield United. The defence has largely been awful this calendar year, we're averaging nearly two goals against since January. It makes it very difficult to win games when you do that.

It's funny being a football fan if Villa where you have to root on Arsenal this evening, hoping for a positive outcome but perhaps several non-life-threatening injury to some of their players,  because they play us on Sunday and will be opposite to backing such players today.  It then will full circle again against Bayern next week and then even more cheering for them against Spurs!

[dorsetvillian]

You just know City and Arsenal will fuck up tonight.

[Brazilian Villain]

Well then, we'll just dust ourselves down and make sure we finish 4th and win the Conference League.

[Yeltzer]

You just know City and Arsenal will fuck up tonight.

They’re doing a pretty good job so far 🤦‍♂️

[PaulWinch again]

Going very badly.

[AV82EC]

After tonight’s results coefficient points now level between England Germany. 16.5pts each.
