ramirez Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago 20 minutes ago, Novocastrian said: Leicester gave us a scare the last time we were chasing PL. They also got relegated that season. Only a Nick Pope save got us the point we needed. They’re much worse this time though. I’d say that’s a banker. West Ham isn’t a bad fixture either but the others are tricky definitely.

Swap one of them out for another team with two syllables and increase the geographical diversity of the song. Very unlikely Lazio and Roma will be in next season's CL. One might get in, not both Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erikse Posted 9 hours ago Share Posted 9 hours ago (edited) So Arsenal finishing 6th instead of 5th while winning CL will simply remove an english europa league spot for no reason, so that england has less european spots? Why? CL would still be 1-6.. The same if Chelsea win ECL. If we then finish top 5, the conference league spot is simply removed, with no other differences and therefore 1 less spot in total. Also some other confusing things like: If Newcastle finish top 5, Arsenal finish 6th and win the CL (hah!) Champions League: 1-5, Arsenal as UCL winners (6) Europa League: 8, FA Cup winners Conference League: -- Okay, but what about 7th?

The College Dropout Posted 9 hours ago Share Posted 9 hours ago Teams don’t tend to win the game after they win a league title in that season. Almost never happens as far as I remember? Would be happy with a Chelsea draw then. Playing Liverpool the game after they win the league is the luckiest slot they could have gotten and it may get them a CL spot Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Massive that we have about one week between games plus the position we are in. There shouldn’t be a lack of energy or motivation. Cup finals.

southernmag Posted 43 minutes ago Share Posted 43 minutes ago To be fair, we've delivered some dire performances after week long breaks between games in the not too distant past, so I don't put too much weight on that. But 8 days rest is better than half that, and we're in good form. So what could go wrong... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess a lot of titles are decided on the last day, which removes the opportunity, but I think you're right about titles that are won early. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
