It's not a sitter if you have to beat the goalie. This is a sitter.

No, if Man Utd or Liverpool win Europa and not finish in the top 4, they go into the CL along with the top 4 (i.e. 5 CL spots). But one Europa spot is eliminated to compensate (if they would also qualify for Europa by league). So 8th cannot qualify for Europe. The only way 7th can qualify is if the winner of the FA cup finishes in the top 6.

Correct.

"Don't think I will be renewing my ST next year as don't want to be associated with the way our fans treat our players at the slightest hint of adversity." If they're still in the 4th division next season, I reckon he won't be the only one. Surely the phew's patience must be running low now. I'm beginning to get worried about their cash flow situation. If they don't go up this season, how will they be able to pay their bills?

Pundits both agree it was a blatant penalty, and never a red card. They also thought Tadic's miss was embarrassing, even if it had been on the training ground.

Yes, but neither were wonderful. But it was a wonder that he scored.

We had the last laugh though, another great escape with them getting relegated and us finishing one place above them. Mind you, they did have a better goal difference.

What wonder goal?

True dat.

Bastards.

“It is harder in this league because you play Tuesday, Friday, Saturday, Tuesday, so it has been different to get used to. It is harder for that reason and you need a strong mentality.” Yes, that's certainly a lot harder than playing one day in September, one day in October, one day in November, ....

If Leicester do win it, would it be the greatest achievement in football history? Sporting history maybe? Clough's Forest was amazing, as was Greece winning the European championship, and I'm sure there have been some impressive unexpected league winners around the globe at one time or another. But rock bottom this time last year, one of the favourites to go down at the beginning of this season, Pearson sacked and replaced with a manager who was a disaster with Greece, and 5000-1 to win the league at that time. That's hard to beat.

Reminds me of Glenda's treatment of MLT when England manager, possibly due to MLT rebuffing Glenda's attempt to sign him for Chelsea previously.

Hammers beat Spurs 1-0. Mixed feelings there, as they pull away from us , but they put a dent into the north London yobos' title chances. City getting clobbered by Liverpool, and Stoke win, so we're down to 9th. Arsenal also lose, great night for Leicester.

Good find. I knew a 5th or lower placed winner of the Europa League or CL would give the PL an extra CL place, but now we know it wouldn't help us if we finish 8th!

Runt? I've been called worse. Great thread.

Ok, ignore the hate. But if Liverpool had won there would be one less Europa League spot available. So love him or hate him, logically any Saints fan should have wanted him to miss.

Written by William J Bennett, a right-wing hack.

Also if City finish 5th, the Capital One Cup Euro spot goes to the PL 6th place. Being cup runners-up no longer qualifies for Europe. If City finish in the top 4 and also win the CL there is no extra CL place for the PL, but if they finish 5th and win the CL the top 5 qualify for the CL, with Euro Cup going to 6th and 7th. If on top of that, a top 7 team wins the FA cup, then 8th would qualify for the Euro Cup.

Couldn't have been scripted better. We can add it to this beauty.

Great pass by Milner, but Aguero couldn't finish.

This. What's the purpose of this thread?

Apart from Leicester.
