TRon Posted May 18, 2025 Share Posted May 18, 2025 Still in our hands. Just need to blow Everton away next week, and please God Isak be fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSG Posted May 18, 2025 Share Posted May 18, 2025 Am I right in thinking that unless Everton batter us, we’re guaranteed to finish above at least one of Forest or Chelsea, so basically the task is equal villa’s result? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leemond Posted May 18, 2025 Share Posted May 18, 2025 Someone tells you in August 2024, we'll win a trophy and play Everton at home to guarantee Champions League football, you'd snap their hands off! We'll win next week. 3-0. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novocastrian Posted May 18, 2025 Share Posted May 18, 2025 Ok so, if Man United beat Villa we qualify for CL, doesn’t matter about any of the other results. Not sure I want to risk getting beat off Everton though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danh1 Posted May 18, 2025 Share Posted May 18, 2025 (edited) Massive game. Bank holiday, late afternoon kick off, atmosphere needs to be electric like it was at the start of last week. No nonces wearing dinosaur costumes. All about Newcastle United. If we don’t win it then we deserve fuck all. Edited May 18, 2025 by Danh1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the manner of it (early shots, Gordon error) hurts, as does every other AVL/CHE score once again going badly. I dunno, I'm feeling 60/40 that we'll make it. But I don't even think we're one of the country's best five teams tbh. What? We were a stone throw away from being second tonight but you don't think we're better than 5th place?

alexf Posted May 18, 2025 Share Posted May 18, 2025 (edited) I know it's fair to need to win the games you need yourself. But christ, other than maybe that Southampton draw Vs Man City and Leicester getting a draw at Forest, it's felt like all other games that has a baring on us have gone the opposite of what we wanted for weeks now. Fingers crossed for next week. Eddie and the boys deserve CL for the season they have given us and it would be really crushing to fail at the last hurdle.

And tbh if we'd took our chances we would be deserved winners - what's frustrating is we didn't take them and knowing if we had our best player on the pitch we most likely would have won that game. Bar a couple of shots Pope had very little to do - the fact Raya got MOTM says it all. Yeh it was expected. All is going as good as we could’ve reasonably expected imo.

Kanj Posted May 18, 2025 Share Posted May 18, 2025 Our last 10 is 7 wins, 2 losses and 1 draw. The points dropped have been away from home. We haven’t lost at home but 2x in the league this calendar year and when we’ve needed a result at home we’ve gotten it done. Don’t fret too much lads. Focus the energy on backing the team —— in your home, at the pubs, in the stands. Let’s have it next week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 18, 2025 Share Posted May 18, 2025 Win and in at home is a lovely scenario against a team who is now done in the league essentially. Man for man we are better so just go do our job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win = qualify Draw = qualify if Villa don't win, or Forest and Chelsea draw (if Villa do win) Lose = qualify if Villa also lose, as long as it's not a very heavy defeat and Forest beat Chelsea There's also Man City who may factor in, but we'll know more about them on Tuesday night after their match with Bmouth.
