Champions League Contention

[curiousorange]

If it was aimed specifically at Risso i'd have quoted him. Plenty seem stressed. Plenty also don't seem to be overly enjoying it. It's our best season for over a quarter of a century, matches matter for a good reason rather than hoping they help us stay up. It's great and hopefully it will be like this each season for a while.

As the Villa Podcast astutely noted, it's never fun supporting a football team. I am stressed because I want something good to happen to Villa for once. For once. Missing out on CL and ending up in the Europa League will not be something good, when we've been in the top 4 pretty much all season.

What is also stressful is that it's pretty clear this team is done, they have nothing left, so we are relying totally on Man City beating Spurs.

I felt this was the case anyway. It's in our hands, but that game's the safety net, so I was never worried about our games. I'm still not, really.

Our final game at Villa Park will be a thriller and a final in and of itself!
Wherever each and and all of us thought Villa were to finish, this was a game that we wanted to win because it was the season's final game, and wouldn't it be just amazing to confirm champions league football with an elite winning performance at Villa Park.

Beat Arsenal, Manchester City, and fingers crossed  Liverpool at home that's a fitting way as we are beating all of the top 3 and a deserving Champions League spot!
It's also a warning for them for next season we're coming for the share of trophies!
We are contenders to stay !

Up the Villa!

I must say, Captain: I've got to admire your balls.

Our last 3 and a half performances have been pretty horrible. Injuries are obviously a massive issue, but that being said I don’t see how we get another point if some of those injured players don’t return. In which case we are relying on Spurs to fail, so hopefully they will.

i predict that we will lose both games, Spurs will beat Burnley and Sheff Utd leaving them only needing a draw agst Man City to go fourth on goal difference.

Spurs draw with City? Based on fucking what?

We'll get 1 point, Spurs will get 4. Job done.

If Arsenal don't win, Man City can win the title at Spurs.

The universe hating us.

Finally, a post of yours I agree with 100%.

I can't see us getting another point.

Vincent Kompany has been kidding everyone this season that Burnley are somehow good, but they are anything but...

So, we need Man City to beat Spurs and I think we also need Arsenal to beat Man Utd as well before that. 

If Man City win at Fulham and Arsenal fail to win, then we know, and Man City know that they will beat Spam at home in the last game, so there is a risk that they may lose some focus in the game with Spurs.
