The battle for 4th place

I say we come out all guns blazing against Arsenal, get an early goal, play dirty if we have to, show our mental strength is still there to rest of the league. I say we beat Arsenal... Westham draw with United, then we will probably draw with Swansea and finish 4th. Also even if Liverpool win Europa, 4th place still Guarantee's us a chance at qualifying for the CL.

Had a pint earlier with a senior Swansea personnel member. We will beat Swansea, or if we dont there is no hope. They have packed up for the summer

I really don't give a shit about CL qualification. Let Pep start from scratch.

Unfortunately Sheikh Mansour and the Chinese consortium do not agree with that. C/L qualification is the minimum level of their expectations. By missing out, Pep will have a harder and more expensive job in attracting players to City. It is also possible that our premium players such as Kun, Silva and KDB seek moves to other C/L qualifiers rather than find themselves in a minor European Thursday night competition playing no-marks clubs who we may never have heard of. The only positive I can see here is that Yaya may be the most likely to be wanting away.

If we win both of our last 2 games we're top 4 whatever happens with the Rags and West Ham. If our players can't pull that off then they can all fuck off!

If we win our last 2 games we will finish 3rd on goal difference ( Arsenal play Villa ),we need just 3 more pts and we will finish 4th,rags and West ham will pick no more than 7pts up.

Does anyone know what happens to the number of CL spots if we win the CL and Liverpool win the EL?

If United are fourth, nothing.

If we are fourth then EUFA will change the rules so that Liverpool take our slot and we will be asked to compete instead in the newly invented Outer Mongolia challenge where we play Ghengis Khan Killers in a qualifier on Friday night before our first premiere league game away to Middlesbrough is chosen by Sky as the 12.45 kick off the following day.

We are deducted 30 points for being stuck in Singapore Airport at the time of kick off.

It's more the surrender for 6th than the battle for 4th.

If there was a way to finish lower than 6th we would find it.

Thankfully even Yaya cannot rewrite the laws of mathematics - though I expect his agent has told him that if he demands this as part of his new contract someone will do it for him.

If we finish 4th we are not certain of a Champions League place. Should Liverpool go on and win the Europa League they will be come the 4th team in the Champions League, and 4th place will go into the Europa league. To be certain of a place in the Champions League we have to win our last 2 games against Arsenal and Swansea. Otherwise we will be playing Thursday night football in the Europa League

Should have gone to Brainsavers. How many fucking times do people have to be told?

So tempting. Go on then.

Told what now?

Told that if Liverpool win the Europa they get a place in the CL along with Leicester (champions), Bury (record score in a cup final), Arsenal cos they'll moan like fuck if they don't get it and Leicester Tigers cos they come from the same place as Leicester City.
And if we complain they'll take two English spots and give them to the Milan clubs as that's where the final is this year.

Excellent. Understand your meaning.
 
If Grimsby overturn Braintree's one goal advantage will that mean Bury will be pushed back into The Europa League? Is the Intertoto cup still an option? Blimey this is confusing!

Grimsby is a tricky one. I've been trawling (Hah! Trawling FFS - see wot I did there?) the regulations and it seems their black and white stripes means they swap places with Newcastle if they get past Braintree, but only if Notts County and Juve also swap.
And as a grounddhopper I want Grimsby back in the Football League as I've been to their ground as few times.
And we don't have to worry too much if Bury end up in the Intertototototo as a stand named after their most famous player will witness European football anyway.
 
I'll happily take Chumps league birth next season and we regroup over the summer while we lick our wounds.

Feel very positive about next season. Need to win out now, with a satisfying 3 points against Arsenal
