Re: If chelsea win champions league...
No.
There will only be four English clubs in the UEFA Champions League 2014-15, regardless of who wins this season's trophy.

Looks like we need a point vs West Ham and a win vs Villa.
Please don't let us come unstuck at Upton Park [-o<
No European football next year would be crrrrrrrrrrap. We'Ve been fixtures in Europe for ages now.

Re: The Race for Europe/6th Place
Yes, 4pts nails EL for sure. Dreaming slightly, 6pts would give us a long shot at 5th. I'm hoping Southampton have got a little boost from yesterdays win and make life very tough for United on the last day. We might even only need 2pts, also I dont think United will have an easy ride v Sunderland at OT, as proved recently by their visits to CIty and Chelsea

Re: The Race for Europe/6th Place
Table after yesterday:
4 Arsenal 35 21 7 7 62 41 21 70
5 Everton 36 20 9 7 57 36 21 69
6 Tottenham 36 20 6 10 52 49 3 66
7 Man Utd 35 18 6 11 60 40 20 60
Remaining fixtures:
Arsenal
Saudi Sportswashing Machine (H)
West Brom (H)
Norwich (A)
Can't really see them dropping points
Everton
Emirates Marketing Project (H)
Hull (A)
Tough fixtures for Everton, 4 points would be an excellent result for them
Us
West Ham (A)
Aston Villa (H)
West Ham's form has collapsed after their mini run, but they're always up for the fight against us at Upton Park, but you would have to say anything less than 6 points from those two fixtures
Man Utd
Sunderland (H)
Hull (H)
Southampton (A)
I think Sunderland will be a lot tougher than it is on paper as they seem to have done very well against the tougher teams lately, but I'd expect the Giggs/new broom factor to carry them over the line in the two home games, but Southampton away is a very tough final fixture.
I think its a strong possibility that the standings don't change at all from now till the end of the season, but I think the strongest possibility of movement is us overtaking Everton.

Re: The Race for Europe/6th Place
We could have done with Everton having a tougher away match for that last fixture, think Hull will have their minds on the Cup final to take any points off them.
Arsenal will secure St Totts Day tomorrow, 4th next weekend before sending Norwich down on the last day

Re: The Race for Europe/6th Place
Arsenal will probably win all of their games, Norwich might give them a match depending on whether they're still in the fight.
Everton's season may well just peter out now.
City still have a shout on the title, if results go badly for them today at Palace they might have to even fight Arsenal for 3rd.
Us. 4 points will do. Spam away will be tough as usual, win would be nice, but a draw will do. Should beat Villa, I'm going so it would be nice to have something to play for.
Utd - Beat Sunderland and Hull, 5-5 draw at Southampton.

Re: The Race for Europe/6th Place
I think Everton will get 4 points to be honest as will we. So we are likely to finish 6th on GD even if Everton only manage to get a point from Hull and lose to City. I don't see us winning both our fixtures but you never know.
On a side note, Villa are really in trouble. The way they play and the need for points will play into our hands on the final day. The only reason they will survive is purely because Cardiff are done and with Norwich likely to get nothing else this season it relies on Fulham who have an awful GD so they have to win both games and Villa have to lose both to go down. It could happen but I think Villa will just about survive.

The CL alternates between Tuesday and Wednesday so sometimes you'll have an extra day. Playing on Sundays means you'll always be playing catch up to the other teams and Sunday games are always horrible for atmosphere which doesn't help either.

Re: The Race for Europe/6th Place
The space between my brain cells tells me Chelsea, Arsenal, Man Utd played on Saturday after Wednesday 3 times and City 2 where as we played 14 times after the shorter break, which in my humble opinion does have an effect on the players.

Re: The Race for Europe/6th Place
Was dying for Torres to get the ball back from Willian on the line for a tap in just to **** off the scousers even more! Advantage City!
willian was outstanding in this game. one can imagine if avb had the players he wanted - willian, moutinho. conceicao, hulk...

Re: The Race for Europe/6th Place
Being on the EL is fine if you play it properly. Second string and youth only in group stages is the answer, with the amount of players no one should be playing Thursday then Sunday, in the group stage at least. The problem with that is you lose out on match day revenue as no one wants to go to a reserve game for £30.
