Champions League Contention

[Somniloquism]

I think the country protection is in place until the R16 or qtr finals.

Thanks for clarifying AV82

There’s probably a 238 page UEFA competition document with the relevant detail but tbh I’ve got a life.

Ha ha. Sorry to piss on your chips. 😜

ManUtd are closer to Spurs, than Spurs are to us. See also Chelsea and Newcastle.

Burnley and Luton are closer to Forest and nobody gives them a car in shell's chance.

Spurs are more Spursy than Villa are Villa-like, they've lost 4 in a row.

Whilst letting in 13 goals. They'll be facing Citeh next week, who've scored 24 in their last 6 league games. Doesn't augur well for Spurs.

For me it comes down to the Spurs v City game. I don't see us getting anything from Liverpool or Palace. If Spurs don't lose v Man City they'll get 4th.

That's my belief

I'm confused, so in the unlikely event that Spurs get a point off City and we don't get a point in the last two games Spurs are going to go on a goal fest their last two games and win on goal average. I always look to the bookies odds to see what they believe, you will get enormous odds if you want to waste your money.

We are currently 7 points ahead with +9 better goal difference having scored 4 more goals then Spurs:

Spurs 2 Burnley 0, Villa 0 Liverpool 2, Spurs 2 City 2, Palace 2 Villa 0, Sheff 0 - Spurs 3


That set of results puts us level on points and GD but gives Spurs a better goals scored and 4th place. Any of those results are likely... of course they ALL have to happen which dramatically increases the odds but they could still happen realistically.

Anybody that doesn't think we will get anything from Liverpool or Palace is probably not a Villa fan.
Or form of late has been uneven, but we will strike soon.

I hope I don’t jinx us , but I cannot an Emery team losing three on the bounce in the league ( and 4 if we lose Thursday )

Quite the contrary, I've been a Villa fan for over 45 years... the team is running on empty... Liverpool and Palace just put 4 goals away each... I don't think seeing 0 points v Liverpool or Palace, in their and our current state, is any measure of whether I am a fan or not?

You're probably more likely a previously banned poster than a Nose.

[Ben1505p]

Neither.... just been around long enough to know that things don't always pan out the way the odds say they are going to... it wasn't too long ago that the 5th place in Champions League was nailed on going to the premier league.

I'd be over the moon if we can get anything from either of the games left this season; I just can't see it after that abject performance against Brighton. That's just my opinion, happy for it to proved wrong.

I think Burnley can take a point from Spurs. Their form last month wasn't bad. Only lost one of 5...
