Rest assured, it wasn’t me. I was speaking hypothetically. I always bet on us to lose so if we do I’m too busy counting my winnings to be on here moaning!

Haha, fair play. I put money on us to get relegated once just to jinx it.

Enough to replenish my losses on betting on every combination of results that sees Spurs catch us. Most of those fell at the first hurdle last night. Betting against the Villa isn’t the lucrative pastime it once was. Thanks a lot, Unai!!

Think Olympiacos were around 7/1 or 8/1 to win.

This time next week we'll be in the CL and a European final.
Hopefully this: and Bl*es will be in League 1 (doubt that, though, sadly)!

Something that has long concerned me, our Euro run has shown we will need expensive reinforcements if we get to the CL. And a fair few of them. If we go out in the group stages, that’s a lot of extra wages to carry without the income to balance it out.

Our replacements are fine on the whole. At the tail end of the season it’s the replacements replacements that are awkward.

I have had a £50 bet with one of my Spurs supporting friends about which club will "out-Spurs" Spurs between the two.

If I lose, it means that Villa will be in Champs League & it will be the best £50 that I have ever spent...

The same £50 with Bet365 would return you £600

I had a £50 with a Spurs supporting mate at the start of the season after the Newcastle defeat when they were giving it the big one, winning the league with Ange ball....
I bet that we'd finish above them - Never in doubt!

....and the handover will give me more joy than the actual prize reward!  😊

Emery says:
"Firstly, we have to focus again on the Premier League after we analyse the match we played yesterday. We'll be quick to analyse with the players the match we’re going to face on Sunday against Brighton, with their characteristics of their team and individual players.

We have to recover quickly full energy for Sunday. Our motivation is high because we are now fourth and it's a very important match to try to be closer to our first objective in the Premier League."
