Just had a look and brest even if they win tomorrow their last game is vs real madrid.

Inter is monco at home you wxpect them to win that

The other side is ac milan  is girona and kiev so thats abit annoying as i expect them to win that

Barcelona have qualified now so they wont care against atlanta which is annoying. One point would have been massive today ffs

Almost too many fixtures to focus on. We've got to win first off and hope for the best.

Think the Barcelona win is good for us, so long as they don't rest the entire team and get at least a draw against Atalanta.

I think those Barca and Atletico goals have cooked us. Barca can play the kids versus Atalanta. There's no tangible benefit from where you finish in the top eight, so that open position is gone. Both Leverkusen and Atletico will finish above us now, whilst the draw would've kept Atletico below. When Bayern and Milan win tomorrow we'll be down to tenth, eleventh if Brest beat Shakthar. Two/three place gain is slim odds with the fixtures on the last day.

Think we can overtake Brest and Atalanta on the last day and I think we will need to overtake Leverkusens 1 goal lead on goal difference to get 8th now.

Results have gone pretty bloody well in the 8pm kick offs. I reckon we are back to win and in.

We need tomorrow to go just as well. Look at the last round of fixtures. Almost everyone around us has a gimme. Starting ninth we might get away with. Anything lower I think we're done.

Yeah, I was just looking at everyone's fixtures and there are loads of easy ones about. I'm not confident at all.

Atalanta will win next week as Barca have comfortably qualified.

Going to be tough now, a few of the teams ahead are playing the bottom, poorer teams, and there aren’t enough fixtures between teams above us to take points off each other.

It’s hard to work out but it looks like we are unlikely to get in top 8 even if we beat Celtic.

We need Barca to show up against Atalanta.  Of course we also need to beat Celtic.

It sounded like Uni thinks we have missed out on top 8 given the post match interview. Tyrone appeared almost shell shocked and distraught.

We probably need one result to go our way tomorrow to have a chance of a win and in. Otherwise it would be win and need help.

Well it isn't in our hands anymore but the lowest we could be tomorrow is 11th. As long as someone in the top 8 is still on 13 points, then we need  to beat Celtic by several goals. We will know more tomorrow whether 16 is enough or not then.
