Yeah I’ve no real problems with that as should be more balanced on the whole next season. We would be the team from pot four who teams would want to avoid.

Football rankings has us lowest ranked side on projections, ironically highlights that going deep in Europa wouldn’t be bad for coefficient. It feels a very distant second nowadays though.

Pretty sure this is why.

I'm missing the match on sunday and boarding a plane home at 1.50, praying for small delay or better still be 5 up by half time like the spurs game two years ago.

will look good with champions league patch and font I'm sure

I was in aus for all of the Europa run under pardew, getting up early on a Friday to watch Thursday night games was a head fuck all day.

Just realised Arsenal may need result against us to secure champions league, not ideal.

Big point keeps us 4th til next weekend at least unless Chelsea win by 2 here. Psychologically big. Even if Chelsea win here so long as forest don’t if we do the business next week it’s fairly certain we finish above one of them at least.

Not seen the Villa game but all that mattered for them was they won, if they can do it next week then I fully expect them to win the last two as well. Be happy enough matching Chelsea result tomorrow as long as forest don’t win.

I mean Penshaw has only been Sunderland since the 90s or so and is still roughly even but obviously they’ve added it to the new badge. nice of him to have the Tyne bridge on though . . .

Just ignoring Villa and City, if we win on Sunday and Chelsea and Forest don't we only need 2-3 points. If tat situation happens we ensure we finish above Chelsea the week after and it would also take a miracle for Forest or Villa to finish above us.

I was only 9 and went from Keegan taking over in the milburn paddocks every week for the rest of that season, apart from mackems game which I think was all ticket and the one time I stood in the gallowgate. I was able to sit on the concrete barriers quite peacefully in the main but that pompey game, and grimsby away were utter bedlam.

yeah less chance of getting battered of the police in Germany too.

football ranking projecting man u in pot 1 for cl, as we couldn't play any of the other english pot 1 sides (liverpool, arsenal and city) we would then play 2 of 5 from PSG, BAyern, Inter, Real or Barca. Leverkusen would fill in for Man United although not sure what Spurs or possibly Chelseas coefficient is. Obviously a long way to go but Real Madrid (A) and Bayern (H) would be my ideal picks for new opponents.

only if they were the team to finish 6th, not sure if that can happen.
