Roids Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Ipswich, Chelsea + one other win more than likely gets the much coveted CL spot. Tough-ish run but all in our hands. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 44 minutes ago, TRon said: I don't see the Brighton or Chelsea games as any different, we could win either or lose either. Chelsea might be at home, but they still have a lot of good players who could hurt us. Brighton probably less so, but I could just as easily see us winning down there as well. Ipswich is the easiest game on paper. We need to win those for confidence. I don’t think there’s a world where we lose at home to Ipswich and then go on to beat Brighton away. Confidence and momentum would be low. If we did it yeh it would effectively be the same but it won’t happen that way imo. Chelsea is a six pointer so is massive. I think the players and staff would snatch your hands off for 10 points. I think they take 9 too. They would target the home games just like us. I do think we’ll need to win that last game to make sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelofTheFourth Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 I think villa, Forest and city have too many fixtures with teams that dont matter. Today's match is really important for villa not to win. As I can personally see them winning the rest. If my theory is correct though it would mean that we should finally beat Brighton. I do worry for the arsenal match though.

That means we need to win four also. Our gd took a hit on Saturday Which is why it's key they don't win tonight - only game I see them dropping points is away to Bournemouth. Spurs /Man U is six points gift wrapped Edited April 22 by duo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tisd09 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Whilst a draw isn't the end of the world I just think for some reason under pressure Man City will perform between now and the end of the season. Villa got a steeper hill to climb to catch us especially if they lose this evening Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best to get rid of one of them rather than keep a cluster close by. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Let's hope we don't need 3 wins, like. Really don't see that happening. Howay Man City Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodneyCisse Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Has everyone forgot how many games we’ve won recently? Villa was purely us being ran dry on the back of some really good form. We can rotate if needed, but one game a week with plenty of time to prepare there’s not an excuse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holloway Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 A Villa win tonight is the next twist in the tightest of run ins. It's ok, that will leave us 4 ahead of Man city when we hump Ipswich Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 (edited) I’m not a betting man but I’m thinking about putting 40-50 quid on a Villa win. I think they will win, but if they don’t then it’s still been worth the money if they drop points. It would be a payout of around 180 quid for a Villa win. Would rather see a City win tbh.

Yeah, after Chelsea beat Fulham I put a bit on the Forest/Villa double. The nightmare weekend that just won't stop Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoot Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Hoping for a City win tonight. A draw after that. Don't want Villa winning. If they lose and we win Saturday, we're 5 points ahead of them with 4 to play. Come on City. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Personally don't think Ipswich will be as easy as initially anticipated. Nerves will be all over the place and reckon we perform much better when we're not expected to do well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Seems like a Villa v. Forest FA Cup Final would be ideal for a distraction and some added fixture congestion. Would also be nice for two non-Big 6 clubs to win both cups. It's only happened once in the PL era. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 2 clear wins with goal difference, essentially no margin for error if we win the 2 home games and essentially done and dusted the weekend after next if we do the business against Brighton Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can’t beat Ipswich Chelsea and Everton at home we don’t deserve to be in the CL. The wriggle room is probably not needing any points against Brighton or Arsenal. We should obviously target at least 1 point considering what we have on the line. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 The maximum Villa can get now is 69 points, 3 wins and a draw, so long as one of them wins is against Chelsea, and we're there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
