Beat Brentford the weekend and Villa would be 10 points clear of them with 6 games to go. Brentford still have to go to Anfield and have Man City to play and surely should be without Toney soon. Brentford aren't really in the equation anymore. The issue is we have to finish ahead of at least one of Brighton, Liverpool or Spurs. We could be 12 points ahead of Brentford in 8th and it wouldn't matter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurs have a horrible next three games, then have to play us! We can finish above them. Liverpool have so much quality but there form is shocking! Brighton have those two games in hand and are hard to beat. I think the best we can finish is 6th but most likely 7th which will be imense considering where that scouse cnut was leading us!

I'm not worried about Brentford. We need the 3pts off them to overtake Spurs etc over time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you factored in Manure ridiculous all comp schedule and only Maguire and Lindelof left as CBs to finish 3rd.

We would need either Newcastle to get no more than 14 points, or Man Utd to get no more than 11 points from their remaining 8 games. 71 points was enough last season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could win every game, but if Newcastle and Man U both get to 72 points, it won't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, unless they manage to get 5th or 6th place, and that would require more than a miracle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick76 Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 I think Top4 now will be Top4 at end of season but I can figure any number of combinations of us, Spurs, Liverpool and Brighton. Just my view anyway. It’s too hard to have a firm view because the points are so close and just one result can make a huge difference and may even be not just one place different but two even three depending how close it is. These same conversations could be still had on the day of the final games, that’s how close it could be and how much one result could make a difference. We still have a fifth of the season left so anything can happen, just look at what we’ve done in the last fifth of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
