What do you think of Villa being title contenders. Some fans shouting “we are going to win the league”.

They are in fantastic form (especially at home) but I just don't see them doing it over 38 games?

They must fancy winning the Europa Conference League with Emery in charge too.

I hope they win the ECL, they are doing well.

It is possible in this form the team currently is. 3rd place at the moment, Villa made a good job so far.

I agree.

West Ham won it last season. There are a handful of names people will recognise from previous CL/EL seasons but I expect Aston Villa have the biggest revenues out of all the clubs still in the ECL.

Villa are also the favourites with the betting companies too at the moment.

Union Saint-Gilloise on Thursday evening for the final Europa League group game. We are guaranteed to finish 1st (4 points clear of 2nd) so feels like we should be getting half a dozen debuts out? I don't even want to risk 2nd string players where we can avoid it? Although I suppose a few players could do with some minutes.

Well I have enjoyed Man Utd and Newcastle finishing 4th in their Champions league groups.

While it's never good to lose per say, it was a dead rubber game so the end result was meaningless. We got a number of youngsters to get some real match experience (as the result matters to our opponents) and quite a few squad players got some good minutes into their legs too.

We still finished top of the group, meaning we avoid the knock-out qualifer rounds against the 3rd place CL drop outs.

Now we can forget about the Europa League until March.

Wow Man City drop points again.. What is going on with Pep and Man City this season? They have already dropped 14 point this season and we're not even half way yet.

It might be fatigue. Some of the players looked tired.

I hope Luton’s Lockyer is doing well. Sad to hear that he collapsed during the game.

Liverpool saw it after their quadruple attempt. Man City played a lot of games last season when they won the treble and Pep pushed the core players quite hard.

They dropped points again and now they are about to travel to Saudi Arabia to play in the CWC.

It seems like Guardiola lost his head after Big Ange masterminded a draw at the Etihad with his injury-ravaged Spurs side.

Man City are still second favourites for the title after Arsenal in my opinion.

They've just drawn 3 home games in a row.

Crazy considering they were on a 23 match winning run at home before that.
