We got all the results we could hope for, yesterday.

It's a shame Qarabag couldn't get the result, but that was always going to be a long shot.

No its separate and means we’d have 6 clubs in it.

Wolves fans think that if England gets the second coefficient spot then 8th will be a UECL spot, so they were cheering on West Ham last night.

They said something to that effect on the TNT coverage last night, is it not the case?

Qarabag really harshly done over by Anthony Taylor. He looked at the pitchside monitor for ages deciding if their defender was the last man denying a goal-scoring opportunity when Leverkusen counter-attacked. There was another defender getting back but Taylor must have decided he was too far away and changed the yellow to a red.

Although the video is really funny. He goes to the player and gestures that he is striking out the yellow card. The player is thrilled, thinks the whole thing has been overturned and goes to high-five Taylor in celebration.

Then Taylor pulls out the red.

Would be a really unlikely set of circumstances for England not to overhaul Germany now.

Arsenal vs Bayern

So that'll probably have quite a big bearing on those points.

Come on your Gunners. Urgh.

Atletico Madrid - Dortmund
Real Madrid - Man City

Atletico should do Dortmund.

I can't get too excited about the coefficients yet, we might end up hoping for all these English teams to do well only for it to be Spurs and Man U who finish 4th and 5th.

But while it feels that we are more likely to finish fifth than fourth I'm quite comfortable rooting for fifth to open up.

If ManYoo go on a sparkling run of form and we carry on with our shitting-the-bed-in-the-league strategy, then I'm happy to move away from that position.

AT this point, 4th is in Spuds hands if they can defeat Chelsea in their game in hand. But 5th is firmly in our hands, and would take both our form being shit for the rest of the season and Man U's being the best it's been all season for us to lose it.

Let’s hope so. It’s going to be a tough game for us with our absences and them having all their key players back.
