[Albion] Premier League 6-8/5/23

It’s a shame Spurs we’re against such poor opponents but the Wolves result is a big bonus.

I would have liked this post if it was not for that poor use of an apostrophe , shocking !

Over to Brentford now to make it an even better day of results.

With those results, Brighton will only need 8 more points to achieve Europe. But with Villa's hard fixture list, this may be reduced further.
The win for Spurs means Europa League is still hard to achieve. But Spurs do play away at Villa next.

However, ultimately it is in our own hands.

Whatever happened to Bissouma’s career? I’m guessing returning from injury hence on the bench...

Whatever happened to Cucurella’s career? Long term injury?

1. Injured - fractured ankle
2. Crap (and just did his quad)

It’s autocorrect. It really annoys me when my phone defaults to it.

Villa have Spurs next ( can’t both win, obviously) , then Liverpool, and then us.
If we can be three points above them by the last game we will at least have 7th sewn up.

The Wolves response from last week came to pass. Perfect timing for us that Villa were on the other end of it.

To be honest I think it's more about the game being a derby. I imagine the xG was in Villa's favour.

Wonderful Wolves result. Shame about Spuds. But we can't ask others to do it for us.

Spurs have quite a tough 3 final fixtures (villa will want to bounce back, brentford have had a great season, and Leeds will likely be fighting for final day survival). We have 3 games extra to achieve 2 more points than them what with our superior GD... I believe, and if I do RDZ absolutely believes!

100% would have taken those results those results today - oh look Andy palace lost

I remember us chatting about this last week!

I'm sure you're right on the xG, but of Villa's 16 shots, only 3 were on target.

Wolves only had 6 shots, but 2 were on target. And thankfully just one was needed as it turned out.

Fantastic result win on Monday we are 4 points clear in the European places with 2 games in hand! That means we can lost 3 of our remaining 6 and even if villa win all their matches it won't matter?

If we win Monday, and then we draw 2 and lose 3, we'll be on 60 points. If Villa win their last 3 they'll be on 63. If Spurs win 2 (losing against Villa) they'll be on 63. I think something is up with your maths/logic

I don't know what happened yesterday let alone last week

I'm sure you're right on the xG, but of Villa's 16 shots, only 3 were on target.

I guess we'll never know what caused it, but great result for us either way.

Spurs next week for Villa, then Liverpool away who will still probably be chasing Champions League.

We might have even qualified for Europe before we face them on the final day of the season. Let's hope so!

Either way and regardless of the Spurs result and Liverpool game later, it's a very good day for us.

Not even thinking about finishing above Villa now, that's a done deal in my mind. It's now all about finishing top 6.

Spurs will draw one of their remaining games, so finish on 64. Villa can only get 63 and that's beating Spurs and us.

9 pts and we will finish top 6, then it's whether we can pip Liverpool to 5th.

 

[Triggaaar]

Two wins guarantees seventh?

No.

What is it with the maths on here?

 

[Triggaaar]

And you all laughed when I said Wolves was the game Villa would lose.

So that's the only game they're losing? I don't feel like laughing.

Still have Brentford to come yet...

It’s iPhone autocorrect I reckon - most of my posts make little sense… and that’s before the iPhone has changed them…

 

[Sheebo]

So if Villa don’t beat Spurs and lose at Anfield (or other way around), 3 points from our last 6 games would guarantee European football (unless GD takes an impossible swing!)… you know… that’s huge today… huge
