Let's look at the facts.

We will have around 65% possession, we have much better players, they will not attempt a low block, they have lost 5 games at home, our away GD is +25, their home is +13, and deep down they won't run that extra yard. For sure they will run around a little, and maybe have the odd attack, but we will be at it and they will quickly crumble.

Minimum 2-0 to City.

Think things will be much clearer by 10pm tonight. Should Villa win at home, all chance of Spuds making Champions League is gone. They'd still only need 1 Point from Sheffield United away to ensure 5th spot. Less to play for, me thinks for them. Come on Villa.

Really don't think it makes any difference whatsoever.
 
The media this morning saying that spurs will lay down if villa win tonight is massively disrespectful to us tbh, yeah it might make it easier if spurs arent quite at it tomorrow, but to suggest that the the winners of the last 3 leagues and treble winners can only win at spurs if spurs dont give their all is hugely disrespectful to city and once again trying to downplay our achievements, nowhere is it suggested that united with half a team didnt really try against arsenal it is only the narrative that arsenal have learned to win ugly and arent going anywhere thats being played out.

Now we might win or we might not but the disrespect is appalling. Just remember for the last few weeks we were going to struggle at brighton because thats a tough place to do, we were going to struggle at forest because they were battling relegation, we were going to struggle against wolves because they had beat us once already this year and the way they played was our achilles heel and then just this weekend it was going to be a struggle against fulham because they dont concede many at home etc etc and now the narrative is that all those teams lay down for us and we need spurs to do the same, they will do anything, anything at all to downplay our achievements.

Spot on.

But you see that here too, however. Sometimes it is as if we have no say in the game and depend entirely on what Spurs fancy.

And that my friend I suspect will be our biggest motivation of all. Pep will be saying "immortality beckons guys. ...and you fucking deserve it!"
 
How anyone can be confident in a one off game on the final day I don't know. One red card, one mistake, a refereeing/VAR feck up and we could be on the receiving end. But even if it's one final day that goes against us at least it's not a boring flat end to the season and we still have the FA cup final. We want to be in these situations year on year. We might win a high percentage of leagues and writers will call it boring but Villa/QPR are immense games. Also when you look at winning on goal difference, breaking 100 points, scoring all these goals, and the winning runs we put together it's all simply amazing stuff. Whoever beats this side to a league well done, I mean that. But it ain't ever going to be easy.
