Aston Villa (A) | Pre-Match Thread

I think you're missing the point sorry mate. I'm not saying it's not a big game and I'm far from relaxed (I'll be shitting bricks on Wednesday like I do for every game), but if we lose we can still afford to draw and lose another match and that's assuming the rags win all their games including Liverpool, Leeds away and Wolves away, hence it's simply not a must win.

Yeah true, point taken bud. And I think the Dippers will beat them to be fair. Think I'm just getting too twitchy!

Basically the point is I'm a pedantic bastard :) but we'll be reet blue

That’s true. But for me, especially this year, if it’s a trade off, I’m ok with giving it 100% to try and win something we’ve never achieved before - even if for example we could have say a 60% chance of winning the Carabao vs 20% of the CL, I’d still rather go full on for the CL, I’d be happy with that gamble, because the rewards - in so so many different senses of the word - would be so much greater for us. Let’s be absolutely candid here, what would another Carabao Cup win change?

For me it'd just be the consistency of winning trophies especially winning it 4 times in a row , but winning the champions league like you say would be a big game changer for us.

Too true. More important than the Spurs match a slip up here and this thing is alive again.
