I used it to reason why he was the best player in the league, not the most creative. I said he was the most creative because he was literally the most creative. That's fact and not debatable.

Nine Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 If Villa can maintain their consistency at home they should stay within touching distance of top 4 all season, as always though the common denominator will be down to luck with fitness and injuries.

We'll be out of the CL tomorrow so he go hell for leather then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have one of the best managers in the league, have made Villa Park and absolute fortress, and a place they will barely drop points at. They have a huge amount of depth, and only have to deal with the Conference League. While it's not definite, they 100% can get in this season.

I've been impressed with villa so far this season, and see no reason why they can't keep it up much like we did last season. I'd say pound for pound, they have a slightly better squad than us also.

The Prophet Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Even going into the World Cup sitting in third, I still didn't think we'd finish top four. It was only after we'd overcome a rough patch and won three games in a week, including one v our direct rivals that I knew we could do it it. Perhaps that's just me being too cautious. That's why I think it's too early to be ruling Villa in for fourth. There's a reason only two teams have cracked the big six's domination of it in twenty years, it's a long old season and a rough spell will come. It's all about how they manage and overcome that. Personally, if fourth is beyond us, I hope they do it though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Villa look a waaaay better side than Man Utd. I look at Man Utds top 4 push the same way I looked at the Spurs title push. They've had a few good results but ultimately they just aren't at that level. Man Us performances have been awful for ages and performances absolutely do count. They are the indicator for what to expect in the future. Out of Villa, Newcastle and Man U, which do you think are more likely to win home games against other top 6 sides? I'd back us and Villa any day over Man U. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odds will fluctuate massively anyway. If Villa were to their next game and we were to beat you at the weekend we would be favourites over them for top four.

Hanshithispantz Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Villa will have had top 4 form for about a year now I'd imagine, I'm sure @brummie will have the stats. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still half asleep and convinced you're trolling lol, but I'll bite, you obviously must see that suggesting Villa has a 5% chance of getting top 4 whilst being priced at 2/1 wildly doesn't add up? And yeah future results will have an effect on these odds, I agree Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 3rd since Emery came in I think. Very similar to us, only a few points between us. Good to know that both of the managers we looked at are both excellent like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any team that finishes 4th-5th will have spells like that though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
