Kaizero Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 What do Villa have to play for? They're guaranteed 5th/6th = automatic entry into Europe. More money the better position iirc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 I'm still on a 9 because we still have to beat Middlesbrough to climb out of the bottom 3. At least our fate is back in our own hands. Unfortunately for us Fulham and Aston Villa still have something to play for. Middlesbrough's last games don't look as bad on paper. The last fixtures: - http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/fixtures/default.stm how is our fate in our own hands. we cpould win all 3 remaining and still go down ? nope if we win our 3 games we will stay up, unless hull claw back 5 goals on us so it's like i said then ? Realistically it's in our own hands. We win our remaining games, as do Hull and Sunderland and we stay up, unless Hull manage to thrash Bolton and Man U.

Technically, yes. But do you think the Hull fans are saying that their fate is in their own hands? I doubt it. If we win all 3 matches, we're safe. Hull would have win their matches by 8 goals to relegate us on goal difference. That's hardly having fate in your own hands. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost in our own hands then baring Middlesbrough, Hull or West Brom going goal crazy in their last games and/or us conceding a hat full. What do Villa have to play for? They're guaranteed 5th/6th = automatic entry into Europe. Pride? Trouble is Middlesbrough play Aston Villa too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor Swift Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 What do Villa have to play for? They're guaranteed 5th/6th = automatic entry into Europe. More money the better position iirc. £250k/position. Or was it £500k? I don't think it makes that much of a difference, anyway. A more likely reason that O'Neill will play the starters and look to win is because it's their last match of the season - winning is a good way to send the fans into the summer after a pretty successful season.

Have a word man they've done the double over us and looked a well functioning outift since Allardyce took charge. Horrible football but they've won 4 games since our last win Our problem is that we have drawn a lot of games. We have the least number of wins out of all the teams. If we go down that will be one of the main reasons and it would be hard to complain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
