Would anyone suggesting 4th round exit like to revise their FA Cup predictions considering form of Spurs?

No, mate. Because 67 years.

Sounds like an Ange Postecoglou quote!
Fair enough.

Emery has me believing we do great things every season and until we go out I'll stand by my prediction we'll win the cup.

Ha, I'd like to pretend I'd done that on purpose but I'd be fooling nobody.

With the new signings creating much excitement and enthusiasm how are people seeing
League, FA Cup and Champions League?
Any revisions by those who forecasted.
And by others too!

I still think 4th/5th league
FA Cup win
And Champions League Semi Finals.

Up The Villa!

I was going to start a new thread before realising this was here.

So, 24 games in, 14 left. We're 8th in the table on 37 points, 4 points from a highly likely Champions League spot, 6 points from a definite one, 10 points from 3rd and a whopping 19 points from the top of the table.

We've made some great signings and raised the quality and depth of the squad.

Over the past five seasons the following totals got 4th and 5th place respectively.

         4th      5th
23/24 68 and 66 Points
22/23 71 and 67
21/22 71 and 69
20/21 67 and 66
19/20 66 and 62
18/19 71 and 70
17/18 75 and 70
16/17 76 and 75
15/16 66 and 66
14/15 70 and 64

So will we make it? 2 points a game from here would get us to 65, which would have been enough for 4th on no occasions in the past 10 years and 5th only twice. The average for 5th over that 10 years is 67.5 points and for 4th it's 70.1. To get to the former we'd need 2.18 points per game and latter we'd need 2.36ppg. We have to balance that the Premier League is tougher this season and potentially a lower points total will be enough for 4th and 5th but there are teams in good form.

We're 8th in the Champions League, and play Dortmund, Bruges, Sporting or Atalanta in the last 16 and projected for the winners of the Liverpool or Barcelona teams in the last 8.

We're at home v Spurs in the 4th round of the FA Cup on Sunday and likely to be drawn away against ManU in the 5th Round.
