Hopeless the lot of em. #Kloppout Good, this is what the scum 6 wanted all along. Plebs from the league cheering them on like some 2nd team as they do us a favour Has been a bit disgusting Villa fans cheering on Liverpool, City and Arsenal while our big win comes across as an irrelevance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 If we don’t make Champions League it will obviously be disappointing after coming so close but it is what it is. We’ll just have to win the Europa next season instead. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's over then unless Leverkusen **** up No it’s not, if City and us go through and win each competition which we are both favourites it doesn’t matter what Leverkusen do even if they win Europa, we still end up getting the 2nd CL spot. Leverkusen need Dortmund to overcome A.Madrid to have the upper hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Townsend Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Worth making the point, we have been absolutely given rotten luck woth injuries. All the fluidity to our play up to December has been hard to sustain given the disruption to our lineups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean in this kind of season, next week could be anything. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We never really had a squad to compete for top 4 and win a European cup when everyone was fit. The fact we are still doing it with so many key players out and others having to play every minute is amazing. It’s why I said I don’t think we will see many good performances from now until the end of the season. It’s all about grinding results out now. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had Buendia, Ramsay, Kamara and Mings for most of the season things would be quite different. With everyone fit, it's a strong squad. From now until the end of the season is going to be a test of endurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horrid fan base. Always the victims. But back in topic. We should be aiming for 4th and it is still all to play for. If we fall short at the end, so be it. Plenty more twists and turns to come.

We’ll just have to win the Europa next season instead. The most important thing is to keep qualifying for a European competition as it helps in building and maintaining a squad. It would be cracking to qualify for CL but it's not the magic bullet that some feel it is. Hopefully we'll get fourth and all will be good but if we don't then it will still be a major achievement by the boys 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Personally I quite enjoy backing other teams to do well in order that we get UCL, because it’s a result you’ll never lose on, as there’s equal or more joy to be had when the likes of Liverpool get raped at home 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we would be 6-8 points better off with a full squad this season especially Mings, conceded a lot of silly goals 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 (edited) I wouldn't rule Liverpool out of getting to the semis yet. If Atalanta can go to Anfield and get a 3-0 win I am sure Liverpool on their day can go over there and do similar. An earlyish goal for Liverpool next week and it is game on. I think what the results have shown in all three European competitions this week is that at this stage there are no easy games. Only two ties have more than one goal in them and that is Liverpools and West Hams so pretty much every tie is in the balance and could go either way so trying to predict how things will look this time next week is in fairness a waste of time. I also think what results have shown over the week is that getting a win at this stage isn't easy which makes our result last night even more impressive.

Europe is notorious for every couple of years there being some ridiculous comeback so I wouldn't be too surprised.

Arsenal will lose they don't have the bottle. Man City will win at home. Doubt Liverpool will come back, or West Ham. Us I'm hoping for an early goal from or if not then the most boring uneventful match that could be hoped for. I think then will have to pray city and us win. Let's not forget those pestilent vermin Man U being so abysmally shit that we're in this mess in the first place. There's no way they can be allowed 5th.

I'm bored of frigging 'coefficients' trying to get into a contest we'll almost certainly do quite poorly in instead of concentrating on the competition we're doing well in, and could yet win. Let's just be happy for a night! At the rate we get to this stage of European competitions, there are probably dozens reading this who won't get to see the next time. Chin up! I just love maths, OK?!?!!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree about Arsenal, don't think the have the bottle to go to Germany and knock Bayern out, they messed up not winning their home game. City will go through, and probably put Bayern out. The biggest surprise is Liverpool, could have done with them matching Leverkusen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
