Sounds like what the club have done is not compliant with FA rules.

Horse head needs to be decapitated

From Dale Johnson ESPN This is like the earlier scenario relating to eighth and the Europa League, the difference being the European titleholder finishes in the first place outside the European positions. For this to happen a European title winner would need to finish eighth. This cannot happen this season. So, the Conference League winners finish in eighth place -- one below the Conference League spot. Chelsea play in the Europa League as Conference League winners, and the Premier League has eight teams in Europe. Champions League: 1-4 Europa League: 5, 6, UCoL winners (8) Conference League: 7 Now the EPS is applied with fifth in the UCL, and as this creates the plus-1 in all scenarios there are now nine teams in Europe. The European places drop down one, but as Chelsea already have a place in the Europa League, the Conference League spot "jumps" over them and goes to ninth. Champions League: 1-5 Europa League: 6, 7, UCoL winners (8) Conference League: 9 The same EPS logic can be applied to push the allocation down two or three places in the league. It requires multiple European titleholders to be in consecutive places outside the domestic spots, to create two or three "jumps." This is the effect of two teams winning European titles and finishing eighth and ninth -- 10th gets the Conference League spot after the EPS is applied. Champions League: 1-5, UEL winners (9) Europa League: 6, 7, UCoL winners (8) Conference League: 10 Add in the UCL winners finishing in a consecutive place, and 11th gets the Conference League. Champions League: 1-5, UCL winners (8), UEL winners (10) Europa League: 6, 7, UCoL winners (9) Conference League: 11

If English teams win the CL & EL and Palace win thr FA Cup there could be 11 teams in Europe Champions League: 1-5, UCL winners, UEL winners Europa League: 6, FA Cup winners, UCoL winners Conference League: Carabao Cup winners

Hes probably more of a 5 or 6 out of 10 player

Needs to be a priority to bring in a new RW still as Murphy isnt good enough to be starting every week for a top 10 side never mind top 5. Hes a decent option on the bench at most

Race for the CL 3. Man City (64 pts +24 GD) Southampton (A) Bournemouth (H) Fulham (A) 4. Newcastle (63 pts +21 GD) Chelsea (H) Arsenal (A) Everton (H) 5. Chelsea (63 pts +21 GD) Newcastle (A) Man Utd (H) Nottingham Forest (A) -------------------------------------------------- 6. Nottingham Forest (61 pts +12 GD) Leicester (H) West Ham (A) Chelsea (H) 7. Aston Villa (60 pts +6 GD) Bournemouth (A) Tottenham (H) Man Utd (A)

Can see this being a 1-1 draw which is not the result we need Chelsea played well yesterday and are coming into form, probably have a better squad.

Yeah Points GD Goals Scored Head 2 Head What i said in my original post was if we have the same points and GD, potentially it could come down to head to head particularly with us having the more difficult remaining fixtures

We are only ahead of Chelsea on goals scored. If we dont beat Chelsea and we finish level on points and GD, Chelsea would finish above on head to head.

good point this tbf

Gordon ffs that's shit

No contact at all

ffs that's a dive

Need a double or treble sub here

Hendrie was a right c**t of a player too

This is why i don't think Bruno will leave any time soon. Don't think he's good/consistent enough for the top teams, blows hot and cold too much

unlucky Barnes

Looks a FK not a pen

Murphy off for Gordon

Championship MUrphy is back

He doesn't stamp on him

Yeah i agree, think Tonali's rolling around doesn't help.
