Champions League Contention

[Chris Harte]

Yep,  we'd need ManC to win and then win their Semi, us to win, but most importantly West Ham. I'm counting Liverpool out.

I don't see West Ham winning tomorrow.

[PaulWinch again]

A week tomorrow night, citeh play their next league game, away at Brighton. If Brighton win that, fourth is ours, because arsenal will beat spurs on the Sunday before citeh play forest.

Well we could still do with winning our games.

Me either. We just need to finish 4th. Or above.

[Smirker]

I can see Arsenal crumbling now, and Spuds to beat them in the league.

Arsenal will beat Spurs and Arsenal fans will parade it like a trophy.

So with Bayern beating Arsenal I don't think it now matters about Man City
I don't want them to win anyway but they aren't playing a German team so it doesn't matter does it ?
It's a case of either Real or Man City beating Bayern and PSG beating Dortmunds.

[Drummond]

Every win equals points.

[Footy-Vill]

But it's wins vs German teams that matter most because of the co efficient no?
So if German teams lose to any team they don't get points.
Anyway this is half time on extra time so will see.

[Dave]

But it's wins vs German teams that matter most because of the co efficient no?

It matters most because not only is is English teams getting points, it's German teams not getting points.

But German teams losing to non-English teams is still important and English teams beating non-German teams is still important.

Either way, it's probably dead now anyway.

[IFWaters]

And what do points mean ??

[Chris Harte]

I've said it before, but if we win our next two league games we'll be nine points clear of Spurs, and with the run of games they've got any talk of Man Citeh and Uefa coefficients will effectively be mute. For us, at least.

[Footy-Vill]

It matters most because not only is is English teams getting points, it's German teams not getting points.

But German teams losing to non-English teams is still important and English teams beating non-German teams is still important.

Either way, it's probably dead now anyway.

Ok thanks.  I going to find the points tally they give for a win as seeing that will make sense for me. I  wasn't sure if it was seeded and higher points awarded to higher coefficient teams beater .well I just hope we finish 4th obviously! Thanks

[Lastfootstamper]

Anything can happen now, it's pointless speculating really, but I can't help it.

I just hope we win a few and hope Spurs get battered a few times.

Its exciting though isnt it? I haven't been this nervous about the Villa since that mad run of wins we went on in the Championship.

And those last 3½ games of 19/20 from when Trez ghosted in at the back post. And that run last season post-arsenal when we started to believe again, with those two defeats thrown in in the middle just to keep the blood pressure high.

All this in no way makes up for that near-decade of utter, utter shit, but boy oh boy does that make this taste so much sweeter.

[Chris Harte]

Arse out.
Citeh out.

We can make the Champions League the hard way, if necesary.
In Unai we trust.

If a job's worth doing...

[Somniloquism]

Looking more and more like we might be the last club left in Europe.
