Champions League Contention

[PaulWinch again]

Not worried about Newcastle at all really. We’re at the stage of the season where you start to see mad swings in results as teams struggle with fatigue and injury. They’re just as likely to lose their next 3.

At start of today, Newcastle beating Spuds is what we wanted, now they have done that, some are worried about Newcastle!

They are 10 behind, with 6 to play, so over 1.5 points per match to make up the gap.

If Newcastle catch us we don't deserve anything nice ever.

While some are worried about our form, the much easier run Spurs have has so far resulted in 7 points from 5 games. Laboured wins at home to Luton and Forest, a draw at West Ham and being twatted by Fulham and Newcastle. And Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool next.

It's amazing that a result other than a barn storming win by Villa can not be enjoyed by some of our fans as they start worrying about doom and gloom in the fog. If Newcastle finish above us I will drink my own piss in front of you all.

If you were really sure you’d be offering to drink Heineken.

[PeterWithesShin]

We play 3 league games (plus Lille) before Spurs play again. We could really pile the pressure on them before their game against Arsenal.

Why have Spurs got 2 weeks off?!

Why have Spurs got 2 weeks off?!

FA cup Semi finals next week and out of respect they don't play on that weekend.

There really is a limit as to what a man should stick down his throat and Heineken is a big no.

Assuming they were due to play one of the semi-finalists.

I'm not keen on Heineken, but it's not my biggest no-no.

Screenshot saved.

I sincerely hope this doesn't come to pass, for our sake as much as yours.

[London Villan]

Newcastle do have a relatively easy run of games…

[SamTheMouse]

Once tomorrow's out of the way, I reckon all our remaining games are winnable. We won't win them all, of course, but we can go into every one with a realistic expectation of picking up points.

It's going to be tighter than a ferret's ringpiece.
