Champions League Contention

[Monty]

We have some tough games left but I’ve just reached the “disappointed with no champions league football” stage.

Frankly I'm still in the disbelief stage. If we at least draw with Spurs next week then I'll be quite firmly in the camp of believers.

[The Man With A Stick]

Does 5th have to go into a play-off/qualifiying round or is it straight into this new-fangled group stage?

[PaulWinch again]

It’s straight in I think, but I might be wrong. So Manure have to win 4 more matches than us, that absolutely shouldn’t happen.

I feel strangely confident.  Need to snap out of this mentality but it just doesn't sit right at all!

Opta gives us a 96% chance of finishing at least 5th. More likely to finish 3rd than 6th.

Straight into group stage

Lies, damned lies and ...

[Dave P]

I think 4 wins from here will be enough to finish 5th as I can’t see Man U winning 7 of their last 11 games.
I also think if we win on Sunday, another 4 wins after that will be enough to finish 4th.

What a truly remarkable turnaround in, what, a season and a bit?

Averaging 2 points a game since he came here. That's phenomenal, just phenomenal.

I fucking love the way he sweats, loves and celebrates every single point as well.

Unai doesn't sweat, he inspires the air temperature around him to suit his preference.

I'm quietly confident we'll finish top four. I've not given up on third place yet either. I'll be chuffed to bits that we overtook spurs to get there too.

[lovejoy]

5th place for champions league isn’t guaranteed, we need to (start) support the English teams in Europe for the coefficient points.

[TelfordVilla]

No we don't. We need to finish 4th or 3rd

[Lastfootstamper]

No, we don't. I assume I'll feel differently nearer the time, but right now I'd feel a bit unclean if sp*rs got champions league because we won the Conference.

[Brazilian Villain]

When we finish top 4 which pot will we be in for the Champions League draw? Will it depend on our coefficient, and performances in the UECL this season?
