Mind you, a couple of weeks ago they were also showing a >70% likelihood of England getting the extra CL spot.

What I like is that this is now the almost perfect scenario for my hedge betting. Straightforward bets on Spurs to keep winning, us to lose and Denise Coates buys herself a new set of gold taps at my expense. Win, win.

The hedge I did on all the German teams winning and Villa losing tonight is on the brink of paying me £400 from a £20 bet. Or, to be more accurate, its on the brink of not paying me £400. I hope

One thing I’d say - that performance tonight is why 5th place being CL football would have been nice. We can really lurch from good to bad, and Bournemouth is going to be fucking hard after the physical and mental exertion of that.

Perfect example of why those % things are a load of bollocks. They just assume the favourites win all the time.

We don’t have many options left, Carlos in for Cash ?  Luiz still out, Moreno out , Zaniolo hopefully available, thebench is back up players and youngsters that are making up the numbers.
So I can’t see a host of changes.

Maybe not all the time, but the majority of the time they do, hence why they are the favourites, and why you don't see many poor bookmakers.

I saw Zaniolo sort of running up behind the rest of the team when they were celebrating, so hopefully he's not too badly hurt. He's not the first name on a team sheet by any means but the more options we have the better.

Only Villa winning the next three UECL games can make the fifth place Champions League spot possible now. Which is tough, but at least it should make it simple enough for the people who haven’t up to now been able to work out that they should be hoping for the best results for Villa.

Plus the three German sides losing all of their games I think.
