The day I’m glad we got 5 Champions League places is the day you can call me a self-entitled, self-satisfied, living-in-the-past, low-expectation plastic who thinks that 5th best team in England qualifies my team for anything other than the right to play in the same division next year. Does it reduce the number of Europa and Conference places we get, or will a top-half finish be enough?
Still, when you qualify as Champions for the Champions League, and you stay Champions of your domestic league, and win the Champions League in the same season, everything else looks a little bit smaller.
