Champions of Europe now 4-1 down...

Champions of Europe now 3-1 down...

Make that 4-1...

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Leeds are finished

United do the business at home.

Villa's last 4 games - Wolves (A), Tottenham (H), Liverpool (A), Brighton (H).

Can't see them getting any more than 7 points from those which would leave them on 61 points with an inferior GD.

Great results today all round

Absolutely, only slight pity was Newcastle turning it around but could never see us catching them anyway. Hopefully a draw in the Liverpool Spurs game later on

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Liv v Tot any result suits us really but a draw would be ideal. Failing that I'd lean towards a Liverpool win.

Such a shame Forest couldn't hold on for at least a point yesterday. Leeds are dire but still need two of Forest, Leicester, and Everton, to step up and send them down

Only if Spurs don't win

 

[Sheebo]

Same. I think Liverpool will win too.

 

[HalfaSeatOn]

Based on the run in of both teams, tempted for Liverpool win. Think we’ll only jump one of them.

 

[Triggaaar]

And as the FA Cup will be won by a top 4 team and as the league cup was won by a top 4 team it becomes:

1st-4th Champions League
5th-6th Europa League
7th Conference League

And what if West Sham win the Conference?

 

[Bodian]

If Spurs don't win today - then when we win on Thursday we'll jump up above both Villa & Spurs

 

[jcdenton08]

I watched Leeds for a laugh. f*** me they are absolutely useless. I tell yer, honestly, I would lovv it if they go down, lovv it.

And what if West Sham win the Conference?

"Seven teams can qualify for Europe from the Premier League, but victory for West Ham in the Europe Conference League this term would give England eight continental representatives in 2023-24.

While fifth place is the only guaranteed Europa League spot in the top flight, the FA Cup final between Manchester rivals City and United means an extra place will be granted via the league - unless Erik ten Hag's team drop out of the top five."

Wolves = 3 points, they could easily get 3 against us to get them European football on the last day. Tottenham at home isn't exactly difficult at the moment either.

 

[Muzzman]

Nice. Let’s thank Utd on Thursday by embarrassing them on the telly.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Liverpool have, on paper pretty, a easy run in so I don't think them losing today really helps us. As long as Spurs don't beat them it's a good result for us.

I think Liverpool will get 5th and we're in a race with Villa and Spurs for 6th and 7th. And I fancy us to finish top of that little threesome...

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

And what if West Sham win the Conference?

I think that will get them back into league 2...












It will just mean a third English club in the Europa League, giving the prem a total of 8 teams. I think

As the poster said - 7 points. That's 61 points. When we beat Man United, Everton & Southampton, we'll also have 61 points - and likely still a better goal difference. Sorted!
