Displayname Posted April 21, 2025 Share Posted April 21, 2025 Villa loss would mean that we can afford to lose against Arsenal and draw against Chelsea. Assuming Chelsea dont win the rest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfcastle Posted April 21, 2025 Share Posted April 21, 2025 Yeah, of the school of thought that a draw keeps both ticking over nicely in what's probably each's hardest remaining game, so wouldn't be as good with it as normal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLvOR Posted April 21, 2025 Share Posted April 21, 2025 I think a Villa loss just to halt their momentum would be good Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted April 21, 2025 Share Posted April 21, 2025 It's also a potential dress rehearsal for the FA Cup final too. Can see Emery maybe keeping something up his sleeve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewel Posted April 21, 2025 Share Posted April 21, 2025 I'm not worried. It is still in our hands. We win all our games, and CL football is guaranteed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted April 21, 2025 Share Posted April 21, 2025 I think a lot of the pessimism is rooted in wanting this to be handled comfortably. We just had a worst case scenario weekend (after a brilliant week) and we're still 4th. Our next game is at home against one of the worst teams in the league and we play once a week for the rest of the season. The reason the betting odds still like us and why so many predictors come out in our favor is we're still in a very strong spot, but that includes all the permutations where we qualify on the final day by a point or by GD. It might be a little torturous but I'm still very confident. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if we miss out on the CL it's not the end of the world, as the Europa League would represent a good opportunity to win another trophy. Sure we may lose a purple or two, but so be it. It will just take us a bit longer to get to where we want to go, but I'm confident we will get there. More than anything, I'm just really enjoying the journey and seeing what we can achieve.

We’re still in an incredible position and should do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngelofTheFourth Posted April 21, 2025 Share Posted April 21, 2025 I'm no longer going to watch any of the UCL contender games unless they are facing each other. It took spurs 30mins and going down 2-0 to realise they could actually win the game as Forest are crap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erikse Posted April 21, 2025 Share Posted April 21, 2025 (edited) 57 minutes ago, Displayname said: I really dont see why their January results should be so much more relevant than their December results. Whether you count the games from March, February, December or the start of the season they will all show that they won half of their games. Its only when you start from January they will have good stats. Its you I would say that are focusing too much on that particular period. Feeling bad about this run in for us, as we did lose quite a bit of games 6 months ago. We're out of form. Edited April 21, 2025 by Erikse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't rely on other teams as their seasons are over when it comes to the league. It's been an awful prem season. the only thing making it entertaining in the ucl challenge. the league is over for the other 15 teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are arguing against yourself since you are relying on results from January to make City look they are in such a good form. Over the last couple of months they havent looked like a team that are dominating their games, and the results show the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tisd09 Posted April 21, 2025 Share Posted April 21, 2025 Pretty sure there will be a few twists and turns yet. Probably could do with Man City winning tomorrow. Hopefully Everton do something for us Saturday and we should beat Ipswich things could look a little different Saturday evening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
