How much did you win?!

No cashing-out back in 1990.

The job remains the same - we have to win all 4 games for CL.  I think that will be enough given Newcastle, Forest and Chelsea have games against each other.

3 wins and a draw probably wouldn't be though.

This boat has sailed. We're playing Bodo Blimps on a Thursday night in -15 degree temperatures.

If it's in the Europa League rather than the Conference League, it will still be a good year.

We're not beating Bournemouth nor Man U away.
Why not, because of yesterday? What about the week before smashing newcastle, or a couple of weeks earlier giving Brighton a pasting, beating Brentford away etc etc.

No because we've been mostly shit when playing away from Villa Park. There are, of course exceptions but in the main we've been slow, passive & created our own downfall more often than not. Yesterday was another example. Obviously I'd be delighted if we won, I just don't think we will.

Hard to argue with our seasons away form, but last three away games in the league, beat Brentford 1-0, beat Brighton 3-0, beat Southampton 3-0, if you include cup games in that, beat Preston 3-0, beat Brugges 3-1, lost to PSG 1-3.

If we can pick ourselves up for the Fulham and beat them, I fancy us to beat Bournemouth, especially if they lose their next match at Arsenal.

AVFC have written to the Premier League to emphatically reject Tottenham’s request to bring forward their fixture at Villa Park next month.

Understand Spurs wanted the game to be played on Thursday, May 15, to allow more time to prepare for a possible Europa League final.

Spurs can do one.

The Prem hasn't helped anybody else. They'd better not start now.

Can Matt Cash send the email to Spurs which tells them to piss off?

I've just done one of those predictor things.  We have to win all four games to have any chance, anything less won't do, so I put that in for us and tried to be a scientific as I could for the others, and I had us finishing 4th.  All we can do it pick wor selves up, dust wor selves down, roll up wor sleeves and try and win them all.

4 wins will almost certainly be enough because Chelsea play Newcastle and Forest; and it's unlikely that all 3 of them will win all of their remaining games.

Of course it's not likely that we'll win all 4 of ours, but it is at least not unthinkable.

I just saw a headline in Facebook that Newcastle have been dealt a season ending injury blow, & then read that it was Matty Targett! 🙄

Haha, beware of clickbait! I nearly got lured in today by something implying Ange had been sacked.
