Just been reading up. Apparently it changed last year, they used to be in pot 1, now aren’t. I stand corrected.

Plus I don't want any other trophy droughts to be ended this season to take away the spotlight from ours!

Are you sure, cos I would expect Football Rankings to have have factored that into their projection?

I believe they will be, I think Europa League winner gets automatic pot 1.

It has a certain Hunger Games appeal tbh

I haven't watched any of it but I noticed in recent interviews since his sacking he has gone on the offensive this time and is trying to be more outspoken and deflecting from his own failures. Makes me laugh because last time he was out of work he was all over talksport and the like saying he only played a certain way because that's all he could do at Burnley and of someone gave him a chance he could show how much more he had to offer. Then he served up what he did at Everton and did the classic Bruce level negative mentality. Moyes has come in and shown him up massively, and Moyes is hardly the most progressive, attack minded coach.

Man Utd won’t be Pot 1 if Chelsea and Dortmund make CL. Although with Arsenal being the next team in line anyway it probably doesn’t make any difference.

Well as long as you've got your health that's the main thing.

don't want want to see that obnoxious, arrogant prick of a manager Ange win a trophy, he'd be unbearably smug and I hate the thought of MU winning yet another trophy in one of the worst seasons in their history there is no good outcome here

I think Spurs winning is the obvious choice. Pros They might keep Postecoglou Man United are the bigger long-term threat and more likely to splurge - we don't want them in the CL and with more money to spend Man United losing to Spurs of all teams would be really funny and potentially knock their confidence Man United might have to sell some players they don't want to Spurs probably aren't ready for CL next season anyway Man United are more unlikeable During Man United's 'failure' era they've still won 5 trophies, I want them to actually fail Cons Spurs are still unlikeable and it would strengthen their hand Man United can concentrate on their league form Postecoglou gets to say he continued his second season trophy winning thing

Can people stop doing this, please.

Opinions of course but that has no finesse class or quality

£20 double sorted.

Southampton and Leicester took points off Man City and Forest last time out Incredibly though, Spurs and Man Utd are shitter than them, regardless of points tallies

Feels like stage 1 of 'The Project (tm)' is complete. We spent as much as we could and took the side from perennial relegation scrappers to a trophy-winning team that challenges for European & Champions League qualification every year. We've had to tighten our belts for a year because of that initial splurge but feels like we're ready to try and make the next push to try and become a side that wins trophies and gets Champions League every year. And now we're pushing from a position of strength. Don't think we'll go completely ham, and it might depend on CL qualification, but a couple of top quality players and several sensible, solid squad signings, plus a talented youngster or two would be cracking. Just hope we stay on the right side of PSR because once you're ahead of it, it actually provides opportunities. EDIT: Now watch as we just bring in DCL on a free this summer.

I'm not hugely bothered but would lean towards Spurs, Man United would be pot 1 in CL and increase our chance of playing an English side, which would seem a waste, not sure where Spurs would end up. It would definitely seem like a bigger deal spurs winning whereas just another second rate (for them) trophy for Man u.

A couple of colour versions:

dont do it to yourselves there's no chance either of these useless cunts are getting a result for us tonight

Just hope it's a shit spectacle and everyone who goes has an absolutely shit time of it. Not that I'm bitter or anything.

Excellent summation!

Despite Man U being a pale imitation of themselves I still think Amorim needs to and will pull a league from somewhere... blind faith I suppose! The Aussie at Spurs is win or bust for the final so can't see them doing anything in either league game other than losing by two in each or worse

Dunno where 20% chance is coming from for Man U or Spurs. I'd say 99.9% chance of loss. Neither team give a shit about the league and certainly not with both worried about more injuries. We can't cry about it however as we already took 12 points off both of them so we can't begrudge others playing them. I was more annoyed at the likes of Liverpool, Fulhamand Bournemouth who all took loads of points off us yet didn't turn up against Chelsea and Villa. Just need to take care of our own business.

Like picking throwing up or having diarrhoea really

As a fan of the Europa League I'd prefer a Spurs win. As a Newcastle fan I'd prefer a Man Utd win (they'll never go away whilst Spurs might). As a neutral I want to die.
