They have a run of fixtures now where they could win every one of them and it wouldn't shock me at at all. Villa still have to go to Old Trafford, go to Wolves (local derby), and go to LIverpool. I was kidding if it wasn't clear - I haven't been worried about Villa at any point in time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlazeT44 Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Just now, STM said: Blaming West Hams shite season on Europe is doing Moyes a massive favour, by the way. In the summer they recruited players that didn't suit his system whatsoever and continued to play dullard football. He's been saved by the quality they have in their squad but ultimately their failures have been down to his management as much as the extra workload in Europe. Emery won't make the same mistakes, he knows the pitfalls like the back of his hand and will recruit the correct players. They will finish top 8 again next year and have a good run in Europe. I do agree. But of course European football doesn't help. As I say, when you get European football, it takes major investment to compete across all fronts. If you don't get it right, it can massively backfire. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucasol Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Just did my run-in calculator. Had us winning vs Southampton and Leicester, draws v Arsenal, Brighton, Leeds and Chelsea. Ended up 4th with Liverpool a point behind. They won all their games, including vs Spurs, Villa, Brentford, Fulham and Leicester which do have some capacity for them to at least draw in. Spurs 6th on 64 Brighton 7th on 63 Villa 8th on 58 Brentford 9th on 53 Fulham 10th on 48 Amazing to think during our bad run that Brentford and Fulham got quite close to us. Chelsea ended up 12th on 44 points - a £600m spend for a Steve Bruce season. Leeds, Everton and Southampton relegated. Forest scrape through by a point.

Skeletor Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 I also think Emery will get poached by another club at some point. Maybe even the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miercoles Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 (edited) Six games left and we could win the league and Chelsea could get relegated, imagine saying that in August. Edited April 28, 2023 by Miercoles Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazzy Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Very tempted to put a couple of quid on us to get 2nd spot. 150/1 with SkyBet. Also, interestingly we are 12/1 to win the Premier League next year Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miercoles Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 I mean all that needs to happen is for arsenal and city to lose all their remaining games and us win all of ours. Winnable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 One downside to us getting better is it brings out all the idiots in our fan base contacting the media. Personally wish we’d keep things in general quite low profile but I know it will never happen ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand it's also not that insane to think we could overhaul arsenal the way they are playing. This whole season has been otherworldly so I don't know what to think about anything any more really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was advocating the other day that Leicester should get Martin O’Neil in for his experience, same with Harry Redknapp and Spurs. “Knows the club”, “huge experience” PFM drivel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Assumed when people were saying they were worried about Villa they were concerned their holidays would be affected by the airport strikes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzy Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Two other huge games this Sunday. With Man U vs Villa and Liverpool vs Spurs. If things go our way we could be 10pts clear of 5th by Sunday night. I don't see Spurs getting anything at Anfield but it has happened in the past and Villa could certainly win or draw against Man Utd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 (edited) still on for second place - very long shot but if we win all our games and arsenal implode and only pick up another 5 points....... Edited April 29, 2023 by huss9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeletor Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 (edited) Best case scenario this weekend. Although couldn't bring myself to give Wolves a win at Brighton so went for a draw. Edited April 29, 2023 by Skeletor Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzy Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 First time this season I've done a table predictor. Partly because I'm lazy and there's not many games left now. This is what I ended up with and I was trying to be pessimistic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
