Champions League Contention

[Demitri_C]

Dortmund winning 2-0 now. We're going to have to make sure we get 4th spot.

Yeah it looks like 5th isnt getting CL now. Liverpool have absolutely fucked Spurs.

Spurs need a miracle now as cant see arsenal winning now

Fixed

Love it 😘

We massively need athletico madrid to win. Theybhave a very slender lead agajnst dortmund. Veey tough place to go

We need to beat Bournemouth and Chelsea more, in my opinion. Beat them pair and we'll be nine points clear of Spurs before they kick another ball. Imagine that.

If we win our next two games, we'll be 9 points clear of Tottenham.

The whole 9 yards!
I could see Newcastle catching Spurs!

[Footy-Vill]

PSG !! Mbappe . Could this be their year ?
Newcastle beat them 4-1 in group stages and look at them now!

[Brazilian Villain]

PSG !! Mbappe . Could this be their year ?

Let's hope not.

Let's hope not!

So PSG V Dortmond means PSG to win for co efficient.

4th place it’s probably going to have to be.

[Drummond]

4th place it’s probably going to have to be.

It's really all about Arse v Bayern and West Ham v Leverkusen.

[Footy-Vill]

And no reason not to support Real Madrid against Man City. It would be most delightful to see Man City go out.

Well the latter have no chance.

I'd rather they go through in the event we finish 5th.

[Olneythelonely]

Pretty crass.

Agreed.

I’ve edited it. Apologies.

What a shit night. Lets hope arsenal do us a favour. They owe us one after bottling teh final vs blose all those years ago

[AV84]

What I dont understand is the the PL is the bestest league in the world - so how can we not get 1 of 2 the additional spots?

because Newcastle and Man Utd were fucking shit, basic competence from the 2 of them and we'd be as clear as Italy are.

I think there was also something about "us" having more teams in Europe this season so everything is divided by 8 instead of 6/7 or whatever the number is.

[PeterWithesShin]

I was saying about it months ago, must admit back then I wasn't convinced we'd be in the mix come April.

The only time in the last 7 seasons when England didn't finish top 2, which is what's needed for a 5th spot, was the last time 8 English teams were in Europe as it means every win by an English club will be worth slightly less to the coefficient score because it's an average of eight clubs rather than seven.

And when two of those eight clubs shit the bed in the Group stages it makes it doubly difficult. That said the other 6 have done some heavy lifting and having 5 clubs in the quarters is still some going.
