VillaChris Posted Monday at 09:28 Share Posted Monday at 09:28 6 hours ago, TheAuthority said: I think you’ve forgotten that Olsen was in goal for that game so United got a 4 goal head start. Chambers at CB aswell just gifted them one with a terrible pass along the backline IIRC. I was going to say we're much stronger now but you can see Carlos gifting them a goal in that manner so we need Cash fit for that game I think and keep Diego well away from the pitch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted Monday at 09:42 Share Posted Monday at 09:42 1 hour ago, alreadyexists said: It’s just because people are betting on others to win it so our odds lengthen, nothing really to do with the likelihood getting more or less likely It’s this… but the reasoning will be that we lost at home to Arsenal (title contender in this instance) who then drew with Man City (so they both gain a point on us). Strangely, versus the same games - or equivalent - last season, we’re 1 point worse off at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted Monday at 13:24 Share Posted Monday at 13:24 Realistically, to be in with a serious chance of winning the league, we probably need 90 points. If you split the league into 'thirds' of 13, 13 and 12 games, then to be on track we need 6 wins from the next 8 fixtures: Ipswich (A) Man U (H) Fulham (A) Bournemouth (H) Spurs (A) Liverpool (A) Palace (H) Chelsea (A) We'd also probably need it to not be both the Liverpool and Chelsea games that we lose, as those are our most likely rivals. I don't see it personally, but that's the level we need to be scoring at. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see it personally, but that's the level we need to be scoring at. Take it game at a time and let’s see where it takes us. Each week we look at opponents games with a view of Title/CL/Europe. So cheer for what helps getting us to whichever from those. For now I’m only thinking about Wycombe, how will we play, who’ll get chances, winning the game and getting the best draw after that. While how to maximize the benefits from the players who played and help us rotating more. Once we finish this I will bother thinking of Ipswich. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wont even think about PL title until we go on a crazy 10 wins in a row type run, as that is the form you would need to secure the top spot. Around 70pts pretty much guarantees Champions League, so as I see it we need 58 more points. 70 is the new 40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have been lucky with injuries. There an injury to Saliba or Saka away from finishing 3rd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAuthority Posted Tuesday at 04:38 VT Supporter Share Posted Tuesday at 04:38 115 now have Rodri out and potentially a severe points reduction. Plop we’re always going to have an adjustment period. Arsenal are, well, Arsenal. Lego Pep is just a little bit too much of a weirdo and didn’t really win much as a player compared to his man crush Guardiola. I still think they’ll choke. Its our to lose. Put your house on it. Sure there’ll be bumps but I see us as champions come next May. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted Tuesday at 06:23 Share Posted Tuesday at 06:23 Despite being the 4th best team since Emery joined, and despite finishing 4th last year and sitting 3rd currently, Villa are 7th favourite to win the league according to SkyBet. 80/1 odds. For some reason, Manchester Red Sox are only 66/1 and Spuds 50/1! We are constantly overlooked as serious contenders while the world obsesses with Big Six mentality. Keep sleeping on Emery guys, it suits us just fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
