Villa on there even after making £100m on Grealish, using the free market well and only being back in the PL for 4 years. :lol:

 

Actually, that can't be new, we'd surely be in there now and Chelsea much higher.

Does Man City’s win last night guarantee the extra champions league spot next season for English clubs ? Remember a lot of talk about it being top 5 to qualify from next season, not sure if last night confirms it ?

Between West Ham winning the ECL and Citeh winning the UCL, it must be good for the coefficient. Apologies for The Scum link but some useful stuff in here:

Has it ever been only champions in it ? Would be a pretty small number of teams wouldn’t it ?

Would be like the Europa Conference now if you did that. I think the 3 competitions are far better now.

Yes...used to be straight knockout completion with only the champions of the leagues playing.

 

First extended when we got 2nd under Dalglish, and still had to do a qualifying round...recall that Ketsbaia got the goal to get us in

worst let down for an atmosphere ever.

people complaining of not being able to see because other fans were standing and singing - straight from kick off.

England and Italy are the top two for this season. I don’t think yesterday’s game mattered either way.

 

But the reporting on this has been very weird and I feel like there’s confusion about which season’s results count towards the extra spots. I actually think it’s the 2023/24 country coefficients which will determine it, which is odd because you could have a scenario where teams are battling for 4th/5th in the league and not know how many positions qualify for the CL. But UEFA uses the language “previous season” and I think they mean previous to the subsequent CL.
