In last 10 games only Luton and Shef U have taken less points that Brighton .They are one of the easiest teams on paper we could play currently ,they have scored one goal all of April as well.

And taking too much notice of stats and going in thinking this will be a pushover is exactly how teams get mugged.

I think if we bring our A game then even threadbare as we are now we will win. But we must bring our A game

Betfair have us 1/5 to finish top 4. So 80% chance.

I doubt there's a person on the planet that would be prefer to in the position Spurs are and have their remaining fixtures compared to us.

Bizarrely, Wolves are 14/5 according to Oddschecker.

Well yes, once they get all their injured players back it's on.

Love on X how every Villa 'guru' states how every next game is "f**king massive".

Apparently 9 is now the magic number!

Any combination of Villa gaining points and Spurs losing points to the value of 9 gives us European Cup qualification!

From a Spurs forum.

"Are the current Spurs squad better than the Villa squad? I think yes. Outside of McGinn and Watkins who else would you want from Villa?"

I know all fans are deluded to a point, but that's a shocker.
