Aidan Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 Right, just for Mike.. Yes it is as the 4 teams left in are all guaranteed to qualify for either CL or Europa via their league position. Utd won the old League cup so that means 6th is guaranteed Europa, if Milwall don't win the FA Cup (and they wont) then whoever out of Arsenal, Utd/Chelsea, Man City and Spurs (if they win today) win the FA Cup then that place will also go to the league. In short, we get 4 CL places and 3 Europa. 1-4 go to CL and 5th, winner of FA Cup and winner of the old league cup go into EuropaIf the winner of these have already qualified via finishing between 1st and 5th or 1st and 6th in this case as the league cup place has already gone to 6th then the place for the FA Cup goes to 7th. Clear as mud eh. Knowing our luck Milwall will lift the cup! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddock Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 Knowing our luck Milwall will lift the cup! More chance of Carly Baker knocking on my front door in lacy underwear, a suitcase full of money and asking me to marry her than them winning it mate. Tottenham will twat them today.

Clear as mud eh. one more iteration. United wins Europa. we would have 5 CL spots and only 2 Europa (they take one away in this instance). We'd still be in Europa though because that second spot would drop to us (first would be 5th).

Newty82 Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 I think we should just make it easier and finish 4th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted March 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 I think we should just make it easier and finish 4th. id love that newts. Rooting for anyone who plays against the top 6 like they are Everton Fixtures Arsenal - west brom, Man City, west ham, palace, boro man united - chelsea, boro, west brom, everton, sunderland red shite - burnley, Man city, everton, bournemouth They Derby and United matches are going to be massive. Not to mention our last match of the season is Arsenal and I could see it coming down to that. Let's just hope and pray the relegation battle teams nick some points of the likes of the above.

Paddock Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 So just to clarify, does this mean we have europa? Although you're messing, in all seriousness, we still need to finish 7th yet. We lose to Utd and Shite and WBA win both those games it's 1 point between us. That's assuming we beat Hull even. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right in that we can't take seventh for granted just yet but West Brom's next two games are Arse and ManU so hopefully we can stretch the seven point gap v Hull and that shower of shit who got lucky today.

Mdidn't realise they had those next. If we beat Hull and they lose we are 10 points ahead. I think that SHOULD be enough to see us home in 7th. I doubt very much we'll overhaul anyone above us but you never know. We really are due a win against the shite ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a slightly different note...how desperate are we for a win against the shite?! I think we'll all agree...we really are so overdue a win!

Palfy Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 They have good players in the middle if you stand off and let them play, but they lack steel and bite if we get stuck in and press there fold, this is a great opportunity for us if we can get the derby passion and fight into our players to give em a beating.

Aidan Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 I'm confident we will finish 7th or above. More quality, better manager and better form than West Bromwich. Big games to come though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big games to come though! I feel we've got the quality to go head to head with united, arsenal, and the RS. Not scared at all, I think we are capable of winning them all. Dead serious too. nutmegwolf203 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 If we finish 7th do we start qualifying really early against white teams from no where? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted March 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 Depends. If united win Europa we get the second Europa spot so less matches. If united don't win we get 3rd spot and have more matches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 My worry is our performance against Spurs. One match where we could have really made a statement... and let's face it, we were outclassed. I'm hoping that was just an off day in what has been a really good run of form.

AlbanyNYToffee Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 Fixtures before RS/ManU 'doubleheader': 66 pts Chelsea: A Stoke 56 pts Spurs: H Southampton 56 pts City: H Liverpool 55 pts The Shite: A City 50 pts Arsenal: A West Brom 49 pts Utd: A Boro 47 pts Everton: H Hull 7 points and 18 goal difference clear of 8th.

MikeO Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 If we finish 7th do we start qualifying really early against white teams from no where? Not really early but the first game (3rd qualifying round) would be before the league season starts, end July/early August, assuming the calendar is the same as last year. Then we'd have the play-off round to get into the group stage after the season has started towards the end of August. I'm not sure what the ramifications of United winning the thing this year would be but MJB may well be right. Also I don't think we're guaranteed to play against white teams .
