Champions

We are now as close to 11th as we are to 4th.

These next couple of games are pretty big.

We can't even begin to entertain the idea of 4th place until we are routinely putting away these rubbish sides at home

There’s no real difference between home and away at the moment.

we need to be putting them away regardless of where we’re playing

Top 4 is in our hands. We are 5 points off 4th with 2 games in hand

Well, on that basis, I'm in with a chance of sexual congress with Beyoncé. Despite me being 67, and with a personality that would disgrace a train spotter, she hasn't actually said 'no', yet. Beyoncé is in my hands!!!!!

There's a huge difference in our form between them though

If we won points for giving the ball away, we'd have the title wrapped up already. I know we won tonight, but we really need more composure on the ball if my blood pressure is going to prosper.

@Zatara Slap me with the stats Zat, where are we up to in our hunt for glory after tonight's win?

13 games to play

7 wins needed.

Doesnt matter where they come from but if we can get 7pts from WBA, Chelsea, Burnley then the squad should be pretty positive.

We'd then be on 50pts with 10 to play.

I think if we get 3 wins then we'll be looking very strong for the run in.

I pretty much agree with this.

I was doing some gardening yesterday and allowing my mind to drift and without seeing previous points tally to get 4th ( above ) thought we would need to get 70 points , ie win 10 of the remaining games.

It's only 9 now ! Throw in an odd draw and we should make it.

Going to take a great run and a lot of luck with injuries though.

It’s actually in our own hands now, five match days ago I wouldn’t be saying this and couldn’t see any chance we could do it.

While I agree it doesn’t matter where they come from we can’t lose at Chelsea or West Ham for me and for 7 wins to be enough we probably also need 5 draws. More likely 8 wins and 2 losses the rest draws needed. Will have to get close to that 70 point mark

I’m not convinced your gonna need 70 points I think it’s less. Can’t see West Ham getting 25 points from 12 games that’s 7/8 wins
Chelsea would need 8 wins as well

I’m going for 4th will get 62 points
Not sure Leicester will get 70 points with Barnes and Maddison out

 

[MrGrumpy]

How have Villa got 2 games in hand again?

9 wins from 13 required to beat Martinez first season in charge. Just shows how remarkable that actually was and I'm not a RM fan really. We were unlucky not to have had 4th that season. Going by pts per game for 3rd and 4th currently you're looking at 70-72pts for 3rd and 64-66pts for 4th spot.

Looking at it, Chelsea and West Ham are big games for us.
