Will we qualify for the CL?

[Toronto Villa]

The latest rankings, but tbh I'm not convinced by some of the percentages.

a 25% gap between us and Chelsea is funny enough but a 66% gap to Man City, a point ahead of us is laughable. The Newcastle one is the only realistic one giventheir games in hand.

So long as we qualify and neither Man U nor Tottenham do, I'll be happy enough.

Hear hear - and we have to hope and pray (if that is your thing) that the footballing masters see sense and fuck Man Shitty into oblivion for their cheating.

If the media then continue to suck up the "top 6" when they are no where near it - then we know the game is a rigged deck

Opta on Sky had us at 28(?) before Chelsea and Man City drew, so I'd take it with a pinch of salt.

Forest at 83.5% seems about right (maybe even a little low) but having Citeh ahead of them on 85% seems well off.

Except they have to play us

On Chelsea's form:

On December 8, Chelsea beat Spurs 4-3 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

In eight Premier League away games combined since that nonsense they’ve cobbled together exactly the same number of points and scored fewer goals.

I’ve read today that is any of the English teams win in Europe this week, 5th place is guaranteed a Champions League Spot.

I think if any of Inter, Lazio or Fiorentina fail to win that's also enough.

I think Italy need to win all three trophies, with their teams winning every leg on the way. If any English side gets at least a draw, this week, that’ll be enough to guarantee a 5th spot in the CL. In other words, it’s nailed on for five places.

I think they need to face Spanish teams in all 3 finals as well.

I think it needs to be one more defeat (or an Italian draw coupled with an English draw). Hopefully it won't be confirmed until after our game has finished.

I think the Spanish league could also secure the extra spot this week, which is bad news on the basis I like Bologna but good news on the basis that I also have a soft spot for Bilbao.
