I think I could read that post for a month and still have absolutely no idea what point is being made.

IN YOUR OPINION

The Lord knows two things. 1. 8th doesn't get you into Europe in any season, ever 2. Whenever this point is mentioned someone brings up the season we qualified for Europe under Strachan. When we finished 8th. The Lord is sick of people referencing point 2, and that's why we're on the brink of Nuclear War. I hope you're all satisfied.

Well done FA (and the other federations like Poland and France). Weak as piss from FIFA.

Who do we need to win to guarantee our Europa League place?

That yank has got a CV that just screams next Saints manager. Red Bull Salzberg, links with Rangnick, bit of time with Leipzig. Probably does pressing or something. Also, critically, currently out of work. In another universe he's a candidate for SFC all day long.

I'm absolutely delighted that such a massive, massive club have delivered such a breathtaking result.

That's why he needs to shoot

Shane Long has come on so that means goals goals goals

Let Adam Armstrong have a go

Game over

Jesus wept.

I can't believe you people are giving the Russians all this critical info on a plate for them.

The League starting 11 needs more 16 year olds.

Agree - Burnley are built for this stuff. And they've been grinding out points before tonight. If they stay up, which they can, someone's got to go down. (hopefully not Brentford).

Just noticed the last game of the season. Ooooof.

Newcastle going down at the expense of Burnley would be plenty for me.

Watford, on the other hand....

I get the feeling that the Everton/Newcastle/Leeds all going down thing isn't actually going to happen, lads.

Rhian Brewster cost about £25m from memory.

I agree. I can't stand those characters that just recycle the same stock phrases over and over again.

Exactly - if you look at Spain from last year, Villareal finished 7th and would have been in the Conference League this season. But they're not because they won the Europa. So they are in the Champions League. As a result no one from Spain qualified for the Conference League through La Liga. It did not go down to eighth place. Literally a real life example. No theories/permutations required. It's a forum tradition to go on about this and at least it's good that we're talking about this not relegation.

Fair enough, I'll make it easy. 8th doesn't get Europe in any scenario. If non top 4 team wins the CL it just eats into the CL places for league finishes - eg 4th ends up in the Europa.

take us through those eventualities please, clever stats man.

Absolutely shocking complacency.
