troon_villan Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 (edited) Not impossible but extremely unlikely we play any part in Europe now. Brighton will wrap up 6th and deservedly so and I just cant see us bettering Spurs and the PL officials results.

PaulC Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 It's the Liverpool game I'm concerned about. I was hoping leicester might ger something tonight so top 4 would be almost gone for them. Now they will be really up for our game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Keyblade Posted May 15, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 15, 2023 Until we see Brighton put those points on the board against Newcastle and City, I still have hope for 6th. And if they do, fair play to them. 7th it is then. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightoffyour Posted May 15, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted May 15, 2023 (edited) Newcastle will be getting worried now so they need to beat Brighton on Thursday, which would make it slightly more interesting again. Then they'll host a Southampton side with a weight off their shoulders, it's a weight off their shoulders, with players putting themselves in the shop window to get a PL move for next season. City is still City even if it's the 2nd team and the title is won, but hopefully somehow it won't be. And no I don't want to hear that we won't catch Brighton -- we can until we can't.

abdulaziz1 Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 We haven’t lose to Liverpool yet, Brighton didn’t win against Southampton, Tottenham didn’t win against Brentford. Surely it’s likely we’ll lose and Brighton will win, but it’s still not a given. Hopefully the gameweek begin with a Spurs lose so it gives us a space while watching us against Liverpool. Ofcourse Newcastle has to beat Brighton which isn’t a given aswell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srsmithusa Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 So we will finish somewhere between 6 and 11 Not bad considering our Gerrard handicap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top 10 is secured for the first time in 10 years which most said they would be happy to see at the start of the season. It’s been a good season and the feel good factor is back again.

Guest Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 We can’t control the performances of the other teams, but we can still get a point or win at Liverpool and the 3 points against Brighton. Still a lot to play for for the Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top 6 is 100% gone. 7th is there, if Spurs win we need a point at least form Liverpool or it's really over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now they will be really up for our game Well flip side to that is Brighton could be locked in 6th and no chance of 5th or 7th come last game of the season so they would have literally nothing to play for and have had a crazy run of fixtures this month. Nobody would begrudge them to drop a level for the game or for some fringe players to get some game time. For me it's really down to Brentford getting a point from Spurs, we'll lose to Liverpool their home record is immense. It's then down to final day and Leeds at home needing to win to stay up against a Spurs side in terrible form who probably do not want to come 7th and would rather 8th.

Man Utd play Bournmouth and Fulham and so I can't see either dropping top 4 positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Brighton Southampton somewhat of a local derby as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
