Champions League Contention

[Beard82]

Amazing result - and end to a perfect weekend from a Villa perspective.   Its a shootout between us and Spurs now - both had our toughest games (argueably this was our toughest out of the remaining). 

We have two home league games before they play - if we could be 7 or even 9 points clear - I wouldnt be able to see them catch us.

That win kills off manure for me. I think 5th is minimum for us which is a fucking remarkable achievement with europe

If and its a big if, we beat Bournemouth  we go 6 points clear of spurs and bettee GD so 7 points really with spurs having such tough games

Spurs remaining fixtures, potential for a lot of dropped points, especially as they've only won 2 of the last 5.

Villa 70% chance of finishing 4th.

If we can win our next 2 home games - I think we'll nearly be there.

Plus one win for the rest and I think that will be enough - assuming we have the better goal difference still.

Because they've got so much else left to play for.

70 points will get 4th, I've felt that for last two months and still do. I don't care how we get there and how quick. 4th will get very good players wanting to join us, and move us into the best of the rest tier, all good for the future of the club.

Have Sky noticed we’re still fourth? Or is it still between Spurs and Man Utd?

[OCD]

With their fixtures, 2 more wins will be hard to overturn.

God, imagine H&V had a reference to fighting cocks in its name...

[PaulWinch again]

Must, must, must hit this level again and beat Bournemouth. That would put unbelievable pressure on Spurs.

The only concern is Citeh May have the title won by the time they play them.
If not I think 2 more wins and a draw gets us 4th.
