The battle for 4th place

[Andouble]

Great result for Newcastle, puts more pressure on Norwich and Sunderland, Arsenals next two opponents.

Those pesky scousers certainly showed us how it's done today.

Lets hope they don't win the Europa and take that 4th place CL spot.

That would be bad.

Europa winners don't take 4th spot.

No they do. Jrb posted it a couple of pages back.

I'll be disappointed if we don't finish third.

Yes me too. Arsenal are shite. Fancy us for 9 points to be honest.

Has nothing to do with Liverpool winning EL

For fucks sake. Yes it does.

 

[mancity1]

One win two draws will probably do it.

Liverpool are gone now too many games in too few days.

This leaves West Ham and Manure who play each other so a draw would be what we need which would mean the best Manure could finish on is 69 points and West Ham 66 points.

We won't lose 4th to Liverpool
Maximum of five
• No more than five clubs can enter the UEFA Champions League from one national association (this was an increase on the previous maximum of four).

How it impacts associations' allocations
• It is now theoretically possible for a country with a potential three UEFA Champions League places (currently Italy, Portugal or France) to up this number to five, a country with two places (e.g. Ukraine) to increase to four, or a country with one place to up it to three. This can only happen if the association in question has two clubs who win both major European club competitions but that also do not qualify via their own league.*

How many fucking times do people need telling????

I literally want to scream.

 

[Cobwebcat]

The only way 4th doesn't qualify is if us and dippers finish outside top 4 and both of us win CL and EL. Max of 5 teams now.

Talk sport getting this wrong for weeks mainly from the guy from Corals who is clueless.

Also shows how many mouth breathers take tabloid radio as gospel.

I'm thinking sarcasm?

He's on at 8.20 Monday to Friday and I'm ashamed to say I shout at the radio as Alan Brazil believes him. I suppose if you didn't know you would believe it. Lazy journalism.

Indeed. Must try posting like that about Arsenal.

Cannot see Arsenal dropping another point.... :)

And, yep, Liverpool have been watching how we usually handle 2-0 HT leads. Happily. Those lost 2 points make this a very good day for City and put them all but out of the race now. As in we only need 3 more points now to keep ahead of them if they win the rest and if we cannot do better than 3 points from 3 games someone else will catch us anyway.

It looks like 4 into 2 now.
