That's right. To finish 7th we'd need; Villa win/draw Forest win Newcastle lose by at least 4 goals eg. Forest 2-1 Chelsea, Newcastle 0-4 Everton would (I think) have Chelsea in 6th above us on goal difference (+19 to +18)

🤞🏻

There can be only one: Bryan!

Only if we let the lunatics take over the asylum I'm on a pure buzz for Sunday In 2021 I couldn't stand the sight of the hollowed out shell of what used to be my football club In early 2022 we were staring down the barrel of relegation Now it's 2025 we have a trophy in the bag, Europe in the bag and a very strong chance of ending the season with our second CL qualification in 3 years And I'll be there. Making a racket. With a positive attitude. Doing my little bit to give the lads the backing they need to get the job done

Yes

What makes people think a club would pay £80m for Gordon?

We’re 100% a pick like. Sky will lap up the celebrations or (God forbid) the alternative if that happens.

This thread and the match thread are going to be anxiety ridden all week arn't they?

Didn’t realise it was bank holiday the day after

I mean, aye, it would be better if they had absolutely zero motivation in terms of league finish, but I’m not sure how much motivation it is to a group of players whether they finish 13th or 14th?

I'm generally optimistic but I dreamt that we lost this 12-1. I was awoken from this torment by my lass telling me I was talking in my sleep. Only the dream Gods know what I was going through.

Think that will take care of itself with adding more quality to the side.

Yep.

Need more clinical goal threats other than Isak

Had a scroll back a couple of pages but can’t seen an answer - Are we Europa League place minimum now aside from a goal difference overhaul?

I never said there was 🤷

Next season we need to improve our away record against top half teams. It's shite frankly. P9 W1 D1 L7 and no clean sheets. If you include current teams at 11-13 it's still only one win. That's two thirds of the league. We lose too easily away at the top teams. I'm sure Howe will be onto this already.

I reckon us, Liverpool and Forest games, slight worry they could go with Man U - Villa though or Man City. I can't go sunday so really hope we are picked.

It's why I think if we can get £70-80m for Gordon we'll take it. There's a bracket of players like Cunha, Semenyo, Eze, etc in the £50-60m bracket where you get a very good replacement and money for wages/fees elsewhere. Trying to do similar for Bruno, Tonali, Isak would be a helluva lot harder.

Great to see you too matey and likewise!

Almost certainly.

The inevitable Kerkez to Liverpool advancing.

This. And the goal difference is in our favour. We are in a very privileged position

We are willing to sell Longstaff for £10-£12m this summer according to Ronny Gill as in final year of contract

Imagine Villa are hosting Everton final day and we have to go to Old Trafford. No thanks.
