Spuds fans are also saying they want to lose vs City to help them win the league. They are not as bothered  as us, seem to be more bothered that Arsenal being champions

On that note. https://twitter.com/paddypower/status/1784858403128438800

Thats so cringe and not funny from PP. Some of their recent stuff has been so lame

I'm struggling to think of anything funny from them. I'm sure there's been the occasional gem, though.


Too much bantz type, lads on tour, innit bullshit

They know their audience, and if you’re the sort of person who might bet on football with Paddy Power, then you probably thought it was brilliant…

I've made a mental note to stay well away from them!

2 losses for Spurs and a win at Brighton and I think we're in!

So being a Villa fan, I've had a bet on them to win both matches and us to lose at at Brighton.

Same here - 40-1
Also had the same bet with a Villa draw - 50-1

That's the beauty of it. Spurs are 7 points behind with 2 games in hand. They need wins, not draws. Even if we lose to Brighton they'd be a minimum of 3 points behind (with a win and a draw) with one game in hand and (probably) worse goal difference. That game in hand is Man City. We'd probably need a win against either Liverpool or Palace but it would still be a great position.

Sorry, Emi is out, the midfield is threadbare, not to mention this is the Villa. We will get two points max, go out in the semis and lose the Champions league place because of the dodgy VAR points Spurs got against Liverpool. Plus Blues will beat Norwich. It’s just how it goes. Because, going from relegation danger to Europa League in a season is just the kind of shit that we have to put up with.

I think a lot of what they do is pretty funny.  That one is a pretty old, but it was funny the first time they did it.  They mostly just take the piss and I'm ok with that.

I didn't think BV was their audience, he's far too bright for their baloney, Irish-links or not.

if youve bet on brighton and we draw and Spurs win both they are within 2 with a game in hand (still having to play Sheff Utd) and you've lost your bet. lose, lose.

Just you know, in case, TNT lose their exclusivity next season for CL games, it’ll be on Amazon Prime and for the first time in years the BBC will have a highlights show.

I know there's other factors involved but Kane being the one to stop Spurs getting CL football would be delicious.

We're 1/6 to finish in the top four. Spurs are 9/2.

If spurs beat chelsea you will see those odds slash drastically

4 points is very small when you consider they would get 6 from burnley amd sheff utd. We will need to win at least one more game to make sure we do it

Cant see us beating liverpool as we havent beaten them at villa paek since that 7-2 with no fans. Its been a while since we beat them with fans at villa park.

That leaves brighton and palace one win out of those two and i think we should be good for CL
