Champions League Contention

I said at the beginning that 8 teams could be an issue. Man U and Newcastle lasting a bit longer would have been a massive help.

Indeed. I really regret laughing so much at their hilarious ‘campaigns’ now. A round or two in the Europa League and we’d be looking at a virtually guaranteed CL place by now.

Newcastle away, Arsenal, Chelsea away and Liverpool away, with Man City to be squeezed in somewhere before a final pair of gimmies. That's a bit tricky for Spurs. Blown it? Nah.

Yes but we need to win games too which is a bigger issue if we were winning games esp at home then we wouldnt have to worry what spurs are doing.

Definitely missing kamara for me as defensively we have look horrific  at times

You watch Sheff Utd once relegation is confirmed play sexy football without any pressure on them. That won’t be a walk in the park if Spurs actually need something at Bramall Lane.

I still think these rounds will be the ones that confirm it as Bayern are bottlers at the moment and Arsenal look surprisingly strong (which is probably not good for our next league match). However we should be glad West Ham did win the Conference last year as their 20 odd points and beating Freiberg three out of four times have kept England higher.

Is this 5th place permanent or does it change each year with the Co-efficient?

Changes each year with the coefficient.

[PeterWithesShin]

As far as I know the extra spot is annual based. Way it's going half the PL could be in Europe soon.

[Drummond]

It's all to play for. I hope the players don't give up the way some are. I'll bet Emery certainly won't.

We've seen weird results galore recently. Spurs were hammered by Fulham. We had a 10 minute brain fart and scraped a draw against Brentford, who in turn hammered ManU 1-1 last week.

It's the business end of the season, we're inexperienced at it. Spurs have a reputation to uphold! ManU are just inconsistent and anyone could beat them.

I’m pretty confident that it will be a lot more clear cut by the 18th. And I don’t think West Ham winning the cup last year has any bearing.

I meant because it dropped them in the Europa league this year where they have added the 20 points to the co-efficient to off-set the exit of the other teams. Yes that also added 8 teams but being as they have earned so many, it has actually been beneficial. Take off their points, probably add some to the Germans and divide by 7 instead of 8 and we would be worse off.

Without looking ahead too far i hope we don't become West Ham next season, or Newcastle. Or Yanited come to think of it

Appointing Moyes as manager*? Splashing all our cash on a player who gets banned for the season two months for betting? Or buying loads and loads of deadwood players?

*TBF, compared to last season Spam have done quite decent being one point behind Manure and having a decent Europa run.

[PeterWithesShin]

Considering they have the Moyes drag factor West Ham are having another very good season. A 3rd consecutive European QF certainly isn't to be sniffed at.

[VillaTim]

West Ham are having a good season again yes , but I find them dreadful to watch , the home games reminds me of Athletics on Grandstand . The manager is turgid so is the football.

After selling their best midfielder too.
