Will we qualify for the CL?

[Dave]

I still think we'll get into Europe, just not in the CL!!

It would be a spectacular collapse if we didn't get into Europe. It would require us winning no more matches for the rest of the season AND Palace beating Man City in the FA Cup final.

If we get the 3 wins it would be incredible bad luck to not get 5th and impossible to finish below 6th.

Chelsea and Newcastle are important ones though, playing each other and then with games against Forest and Arsenal there's a lot of points to be dropped there.

Arsenal.

FFS, how many times?

[Archbishop Herbert Cockthrottle]

I must admit that I've been fretting about this dilemma. I've tried the permutations, read through the expert analysis and submerged myself in Opta statistics but to no avail. So this evening, I turned to my trusty old Magic 8 Ball and asked the question, will we qualify for the Champions League?

[Smithy]

Would hope that we do qualify, but can't see it.
We've dropped too many points, draws that should have been wins and losses that should have been draws.
Imagine how many points we'd have got, prior to the Jan transfer window, if we'd got the recruits earlier and didn't have the injuries that we had.

Yeah, I'm slowly starting to feel that way.  If we win the last three (still entirely possible), that would be 9 wins out of 10 to end our season.  That's title-winning form, not just CL qualifying form!  We've just had too much ground to make up, so we're relying on at least two other teams dropping enough points, and that looks less likely as each round of matches passes.

The Spurs game being moved forward could be beneficial in allowing us to get points on the board a put pressure on our rivals.

Should we win of course.

Unless we beat Bournemouth there won't be so much riding on this game .

Always rely on Tim to bring the most depressing slant to the discussion.

He just sees things we can't. A revolutionary.

One cup final at a time . Beat Bournemouth and the Spurs Friday night game becomes massive . UTV .

Shit... really?!

[cdbearsfan]

I'd probably put myself down as a VillaTim skeptic, but I find his miseryarsedom more comforting than any "we'll twat everyone" confidence, at the business end of the season. With even brontebilly suddenly dishing out sixes and sevens without a care in the world, VT's posts provide a much needed semblance of calm.

[PeterWithesShin]

We'll twat Bournemouth 8-0, Spurs 8-0 and sort out the GD.

[Villa Lew]

We'll twat Bournemouth 8-0, Spurs 8-0 and sort out the GD.

That's what I like positive thinking.
