Feeling pretty calm heading into this game. Sure, we should not have been in this situation even if were just a little better in the last 37 games, or the last 5 games for that matter. However, it's all in our hands, and if we are serious about our ambition, just go out there and win this game, do not leave in the hands of the other teams or VAR. Villa has nothing to play for point wise, of course they will put up a good performance in front of their home crowd, but don't think we will see the back to the wall defence for 90 minutes, which is we been failing to negotiate all season. Just play the best 11 and get it done with, next week is next week's problem.

    Truth of the matter is if we don't beat villa and lose against City are we still in transition?.

    There is no doubt in my mind we have the squad(at last) to challenge the best in the world, but still not convinced with TT.

    Kante is out likely, hasn't trained so cant see him being risked

    Means Kova & Jorginho in double pivot and Billy on bench. Eee Aww (KH) & AC fit again which is good news for the 29th.

    On paper Bin dippers & Foxes have easier home games, i'll have all 3 games on (2 tellies & I pad), squeeky bum time on Sunday!

    Facing a Palace side with no Eze and half the squad out of contract/ facing Spurs. Yup I would say very easy.

    I know he did it when he was their manager, but it's too much too hope that Hodgson can stop the Dippers from qualifying for the CL again.

    Epic assist from JFH, and brilliant ball from Joe Cole to Belletti. Another like that from Mount would be very welcome tomorrow.

    Yeah some interesting goals there and combos you often don't see, must be a last match of the season thing and the way Joe Cole battled to get that cross over was impressive.

    Ashley Cole's goal too didn't recall any of those.

    My son has just reminded me that this was the last game of the season, too. Unbelievable goal - his best ever IMO.

     

     

    The goal that won him the Golden Boot as well wasn't it?

    I guess the irony for me going into matchday 38 is that we play away. You would assume that  were we at home and had the fans it would be enough. Ironically, under TT we have never lost away and only ever at home and mutual (Fa cup final). So following the trend I would argue it won't matter too much the home advantage that Liverpool and Leicester have because a good team wins regardless and under TT that's what we have been doing.

    Funny feeling we will draw and so will Leicester - Liverpool win and finish 3rd ..only for the pundits award them 'Team of the Year' and Klopp gets all the praise for pulling them out of the mire to a Champions League......I hope not

    Just hope it doesn't end like this last game of the season. Dodgy penalty too

     

    I was there that day. A great on the pitch at the end of the game and broke the crossbar. Also chased all their fans back into the Holte End as well.

    It’s strange how to narrative has changed throughout the week. The media were saying that we were “one foot in the CL” after tuesdays result...and now, it’s “Chelsea will struggle and have the hardest game”.
