Superior Acuña Posted April 18, 2025 Share Posted April 18, 2025 I think we’ll do it. But it doesn’t take long to throw away a 5 point gap at the top, where teams win often. Just look at Forest. I’m optimistic, we’re heavy favourites to get in, but it’s not done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams can still move if they lose in a qualifying or play-off round - think the play-off losers from the CL go into the EL League Phease - but in the main competition, no.

Superior Acuña Posted April 18, 2025 Share Posted April 18, 2025 There’s plenty of time for off seasons where we miss out on CL and have a shot at the Europa or Conference League, just like Chelsea etc now. Quite possibly next year when we may drop due to having to cope with CL. There’s no way I’m actively hoping we miss out on CL when we’re on course for it.

If this doesnt put things in perspective for those who want Europa league i dont know what will. Its a huge competition to get into CL, no guarantees we will get back shortly if we miss out now.

huss9 Posted April 19, 2025 Share Posted April 19, 2025 (edited) citeh - villa forest - chelsea so all our rivals cant win all their remaing games. 8 or 9 points for UCL for us then? Edited April 19, 2025 by huss9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's down as -3 but technically game 25 (Brighton at home) was postponed and didn't actually happen until the end of May. We had 62 points with 6 games left to play in that season so we are effectively 3 points behind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted April 19, 2025 Share Posted April 19, 2025 Everyone said they’d be calm with a defeat. Let’s hope so. Hopefully some help from Fulham or Spurs in the next two days, but either way the race is truly on with five to play. We’re still in a very strong position.

The Prophet Posted April 19, 2025 Share Posted April 19, 2025 Doesn't really change too much for us. We look knackered second half though. We really need to beef this squad up in the summer as three games in six days is too much for the same eleven, particularly with the way we play.

Decky Posted April 19, 2025 Share Posted April 19, 2025 I still think winning our remaining home games will be enough but it doesn't half sting losing like this to one of our rivals for the CL spaces. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted April 19, 2025 Share Posted April 19, 2025 (edited) Villa have massive momentum and the squad to deal with it. They will beat City I reckon. City have quite an easy run in otherwise. Edited April 19, 2025 by Ikon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
