I've just realised they are 3 points above us. Even if we beat them, they will probably still be above us. Then we go to Anfield. We won't finish as high as 7th. It's just too much to ask. Think we can hold on to 8th tho. Just enjoy the last three games. We’ll get 8th but in three games, anything can happen re the places ago, we have the ability to beat both Spurs and Brighton at home. Can we? Will we? That is yet to be seen. Nobody thought Brighton would lose to Everton, a few Villa fans don’t expect much from us now above 8th. It’s all a bonus now, I’m looking forward to tomo and the game. I think we beat them tomo, if we do then it’s still game on. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though we will likely lose at Liverpool, are you certain Spurs will beat Brentford that same weekend? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, they've only lost 6-1 to Newcastle and 4-1 to Leicester since January. Not to mention losing 2-0 to us when they were at home. But we absolutely won't beat them by 3 goals at home. And they will definitely beat Brentford and we definitely won't beat Liverpool. You're speaking like the games have already been played, 8 days before they happen. And the results are scripted. Despite VAR & PGMOL'S best efforts, football doesn't work like that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe that we will beat Spurs by 3 or more goals, after the recent performances and not beating them at home for 15 years. What a crazy thought that must be.

Not sure anything from our last 15 years is relevant in the context of this game. How many historic records has Emery already broken? Living in the past there.

Ok it's not valid to ever mention recent form against another team and its not reasonable to suspect we WON'T hammer Spurs. Gotcha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotcha. Wow. You'll see I said you can think that. But you were saying we will lose, and even that we have already lost to Liverpool. That's quite different. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted May 12, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted May 12, 2023 We’ll need the footballing gods to be smiling down on us on more than occasion over the coming weeks. But it’s not impossible, Spurs failing to beat a tricky Brentford and an admittedly poor Leeds side who quite possibly need to throw the kitchen sink at them on the final day. That game I think is potentially fascinating. Brighton’s fixtures I’ve said enough on. We stand a much better chance of Europe if we win our games, and both the weekend and this place is generally more enjoyable when we do win. So hopefully we win tomorrow and what happens elsewhere doesn’t dampen what would be a good win regardless of the impact it has on our final league position. A balance of managing expectations but daring to dream a little bit. As it normally is. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
