The Top Five Race 2024-25 (poll added)

[Alfie Budd]

If Spurs, rags or Chelsea win Europa/Conference, does that rule cancel out/replace 5th place for CL football?

Top five will qualify for CL irrespective of what happens in any of the European competitions. Spurs or the rags winning the EL would mean a sixth English team in next season’s CL.

No. It just means six English clubs would be in.

Cheers. On one hand it’d be ridiculous if either got in given how shit they are.

On the other hand it’d be hilarious watching them against quality teams given how shit they are.

24/25 Prem season will be remembered as the battle to qualify for the Champions League.

Play-off between Forest & Chelsea on the final day for 5th place
Rags vs Spurs Europa League Final
Arsenal in the Champions League Final

Going to the wire. Tomorrow is huge.

I also think it would mean that we have a very good chance of getting an English team in the league phase of champions league next year if we get in

None of our rivals are gonna drop any more points

We have to win EVERY game

If we fuck it up 2moro then that’s it, season over

Well Forest and Chelsea and Newcastle and Chelsea have to play each other so some are.

4 wins will be fine. Maybe 3.

No they aren't. No we don't. No it isn't.

Cool story.

Another result that didn't go in any way we wanted. Not a single result went the way we needed in the Villa v Newcastle, Fulham v Chels and Spurs v Forest games.

Huge game tomorrow.

 

[dubblue]

Lucky we beat Everton with those late goals.

Huge game tomorrow.

The good news was our result v Everton went the way we wanted when at 80 mins it didn’t look likely.

A win would be nice tomorrow but I still think 10 points will do it from here this season. Nothing is guaranteed though.

 

[chris85mcfc]

Goal difference could be worth an extra point

Ours is significantly the best and won't be bettered by anyone but Newcastle

 

[Claytop]

Good job we won, not getting any favours from elsewhere.

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Unusually with 5 games to go for each team in positions 2 to 7 , it is all in their own hands.
Any team that wins their remaining matches will qualify for CL.

 

[marco]

after doing the maths ive got us down to finnish 5th above villa on goals and thats with a draw tomorrow night, a win will change everything in favor but the loss and its realy becoming out of reach, 25 games to go for the 5 clubs chasing 3rd,4th and 5th so there are without doubt going to be a few strange results poping up hopfully in our favor

its a dead cert our rivals will drop points as they have to play each other
Forest v Chelsea
New v Chelsea
City v Villa

This is a good point and why - when we face Southampton Away - if we get 2 up we need to keep pressing on

 

[youngbob]

We absolutely have to beat Wolves, Bournemouth, and Southampton.

Think if we can avoid defeats against Villa and Fulham in the other games we should be okay.

11 points puts us on 69 which should be enough.
