Really hoping they can turn it around tonight, was so confident when they both got through a couple of weeks ago but now it looks a far tougher task.

After the team they put out last Sunday let alone performance against Spurs I begrudgingly want Forest to go through. Not their biggest fan either apart from Clough era but what Villa did was very disrespectful especially towards Westham.

Agree 100%, Villa were a disgrace against Spurs, many changes and never even tried.
Decent game so far - brilliant atmosphere
1-0 Watkins
I really don't like John McGinn - but I really wished we had a battling midfielder like him

I think we could have had him off Hibs if we'd have upped our offer by half a million.
Super little player.
Prince William v excited as Villa go 2-1 up on aggregate with a penalty
Villa are all over them.
Quote from: Coastwalker on May 07, 2026, 09:27:12 PMVilla are all over them.
Their energy levels have been incredible tonight
All over now - McGinn makes it 3-0 on the night
4-0 Pesky McGinn again

He's the type of Captain you need in your team.
Coastwalker - are you and I the only two watching this demolition?

Yes.😅
Can we be this lively and competitive on Saturday ? I hope so given what is at stake
Forest should have rested some players at weekend :slap:
Well deserved win for Villa. They were much better for full 90 minutes.
This keeps our (slim) chances of CL football alive. We'd need to finish 6th and we'd need Villa to finish in the 5th place + win EL.
Amazing Villa performance.
Quote from: john dempsey on May 08, 2026, 08:42:16 AMAmazing Villa performance.
Shame they didn't even try against Spurs.

They were absolute rubbish against spurs
that is for sure.
Spurs/ West Ham not bothered which
of them goes down.
If Villa win, do the Europa and Conference qualification places drop down one slot?

I know that if they win and finish 5th, top 6 go to CL, and I believe 7th goes to EL with 8 going to Conference League.

And then if City win the FA Cup is there an extra EL place? So 9th gets conference.

I don't think so. If anything, I think that if City loses, it takes away one spot from the league,but don't quote me on it.
If Arsenal, City and Palace all win in Europe what does that mean for next seasons European qualification?

Yeah I'm not sure you're right, I think if they win the spot drops down one: https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/13534068/premier-league-qualification-for-champions-league-europa-league-and-conference-league-permutations-as-run-in-heats-up#:~:text=If%20Man%20City%20win%20the,in%20addition%20to%20the%20above.
