AshVilla Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 (edited) Lets face it. With our full strength side we hammer those thugs 3 or 4 nil. When your having to resort to handballs and scrapping on the line to score goals you know your shite. Were levels above.

Popular Post villa4europe Posted March 17 Popular Post Share Posted March 17 2 minutes ago, Mantis said: Good weekend. We moved a point further ahead of Spurs with a +3 swing in GD in our favour from roughly equal difficult fixtures. That's all it needs Forget this we have to win every game nonsense, that just creates unrealistic expectations and pressure We got more points this weekend that spurs and man utd - that's all that matters, do that more weekends than we don't and we will get there 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post duke313 Posted March 17 Popular Post Share Posted March 17 We gained a point on Spurs this weekend. So, while it could have been better, it could have been worse. We’ve two winnable home games now either side of a tough trip to City, hopefully some players back fully fit after IB. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Often we struggle against very physical teams. We got a very good point today. Could have gotten more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Importantly our subs for the 2nd away game in a row have made a massive difference. This bodes well for the run-in. Gives Diaby and Zaniolo some confidence. Ramsey hopefully back after the break too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the suspensions, injuries and schedule that was a solid point. Even if we draw with Wolves it isn't the end of the world. It would mean 4 other wins might be enough.

villan95 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 So based on the current PPG we would need around another 16 points for 4th and just another 8 points for 5th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condimentalist Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Not our best performance but an OK point in the end and, handball goals aside, we looked by far the better side second half. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Such a huge point for us, come the end of the season it was easily one of the moments that goes to decide whether you get UCL or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted March 17 VT Supporter Share Posted March 17 We're at that end of the season now, where it's down to fine margins. Every team that has something to play for is going be scrapping desperately for every point. Injuries and suspensions will start to mount up. It's no longer about stylish play, it's about who has the staying power - and luck - to get over the line. A different kind of test for Unai and the players - time to dig deep. We've come a long way to get to this, just hold on to your hats and let's see what happens. The ghost of Ron Saunders is watching. Do you want to bet against us? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omariqy Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Man U look awful. Not sure if I want them to win tho. Could do with them having a semi final to worry about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 We're in a better position now relative to Spurs than if both we and Spurs had have won, which considering most were presuming Spurs would win, is better than most were expecting at the start of the weekend. We also now have a better goal difference than Spurs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevonIsAPlaceOnEarth Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 That Champions League music is going to sound so sweet when they play it over the tannoy. Today feels like a good step closer to sealing top 5. A win over Wolves and a defeat for United after the international break and I would feel like we are almost there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jareth Posted March 17 Popular Post Share Posted March 17 Last 5 games - Spurs - 9 points Man U - 9 points Villa - 10 points League positions are stable - reasonable to think they will continue this way 12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More annoying would have been if Man U got 4th and we got 5th but because of their absolutely dog turd performance in the champions league 5th wasn't a spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've got Liverpool at home again in three weeks if that helps. If they're going to get anywhere near us they're going to have to win that.

Captain_Townsend Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 I think 3 wins and 2 draws from here, before we play Palace may yet be enough Spurs need 15 points to get to 68. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
