I'm with The Weakest Link here: would much prefer Europa to be banked. Then we could worry about Sunday next Sunday.

So a better chance of us finishing seventh. Great.

If we finish 7th it’s entirely on us. I prefer to look at as a better chance of being 5th.

I don't think it is a better chance of finishing fifth, as there is now no chance of us finishing fifth if we draw, unless Man City and/or Newcastle collapse. Ah well, it's happened now. Hopefully everyone else is right and I'm wrong. 🙂

The gap between champions league and Europa is so much bigger than between europa and conference. So I’d risk euopa to have better shot at the big one. As it stands I think we should just be focussing on winning, particularly at a ground where our record is so poor.
I assume we want a Man Utd win Wednesday so they are on the piss when we rock up on the Sunday?

I want a Tottenham win so Man U are playing to get the manager sacked on Sunday.

Plus I want us to have an undeniably better season than Man U for the first time in over forty years.

What’s a Tottenham win?

Whichever way you cut it, we have to win next week and hope Chelsea don’t.
Then it’s done and dusted.

I'm going to stick with prioritising the thing that's better for Villa both this season and next, which is a Man Utd win.

After we lost at Cheaty City we were always going to have to win all 4 to get Champions League and hope a few results went our way. We’ve got a 50/50 chance and considering how this season has panned out, I’m happy with that.

Yeah, was probably leaning towards a Forest win over the past few days, but now they have actually won I'm not so sure I was right to as it increases the chances of finishing. 7th.

I'm not going to watch next week's game. 

Got total confidence in the Villa to get the job done but the thought of those spawny shower of bastards getting a dodgy penalty or whatever and that costing us a top 5 finish just makes me feel sick thinking about it.  Going to go on a nice long walk instead.
Yeah I think I might sort my sock drawer out

You can store it all on USB drives, these days.

There is absolutely no chance the manager is getting sacked at the end of this season. He’ll walk before he’s sacked.

Nobody ever walks. He'd be losing about twenty million quid.
