We need to be relentless for the next dozen games if we're to secure top 4. Takes only a loss or two to drop right back down. It is pretty annoying how no matter how long this run as gone, the gap to the teams below us just doesn't seem to be getting big enough for my liking.

Karjala Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago Beat Bournemouth and we are very close to guaranteeing Europe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEEJ Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago Yeah, Bournemouth is the chance to start to really open up a gap. If we win that I'm all aboard the train to Europe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Bournemouth will be the toughest game out of the last 9 imo, they're a really good well drilled side, that press hard and will cause us problems if we're not switched on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Pleased to remember that it's another home game, though. Time to break another duck this Saturday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought Villa were further behind. It's only 3 points ffs Villa are actually doing very well considering they have the demands of Europe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superior Acuña Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago The good thing is we've opened up a really nice gap on Tottenham and ManU - we weren't far off them that long ago, and they both seemed like teams that could turn it around eventually. Even with improved form they shouldn't be catching us now. Bournemouth got to hope don't have the depth to last the season. I think I'm quite confident of top 7 now but top 4/5 will require maintaining some proper good form. Hopefully Forest eventually (!) start to falter enough at least for us to catch them. Chelsea seem more fallible than before. But Man City could always turn it back on, and Villa impressive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given his history I'm not sure I expect him to finish the season without a stretch out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mondonewc Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Imagine winning our next three league games and getting past Arsenal in the Cup, highly possible, then having City away, Forest home, Liverpool away and a cup final to come, amazing! Dream the impossible dream that we somehow win our next 6 in the league, we'd then have a genuine sweat to win the league ffs, and it's not even that unthinkable with how we are performing, not saying its going to happen, I'm not nearly as pissed as they other day (iykyk lol) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Villa are doing well to keep collecting points but their performances haven’t been nearly as good as last season in the league. They’ll play a minimum of 4 CL games this year. I fancy them to go deep Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the table stands it's still relatively tight in terms of the current top 8. Makes Saturdays game even more important not to lose win and we stretch 7 points clear of Bournemouth Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jack j Posted 14 minutes ago Share Posted 14 minutes ago Looking at their team and they've got no real standouts?. A midfield of cook Christie and Adams shouldn't be enough to get me worried but they're obviously doing something right to be 7th top! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
