Champions League Contention

[Malandro]

The Times article stating that we might have a problem complying with the UEFA financial rules is also a worry.

I'd be surprised if our club fiance experts aren't onto this.

I think we should relinguish our top 4 to a "big 6" team who have already cheated to gain the advatage... we don't derserve to disrupt the cock-gobbling media

[Demitri_C]

Yeah I've spelt City wrong, apologies.

Can you learn how to use spell checker please

Even more reason to get Champions League. It's essential really.

There's 3 games to wrap this up within a week.

Burnley beat Spurs (draw will do if we can draw v Liverpool)
We beat Liverpool
City beat Spurs

If Spurs are within 3 points going into the last week of the season then they'll get 4th... I don't think we'll beat an in form Palace..

To do that they will also have to turn the goal difference around by 10 goals.

Honestly, Liverpool could definitely batter us, and Spurs could definitely batter one of Burnley and (oh dear God) Sheffield United, so that really isn't outwith the realms.

I'd still rather be in our position than theirs, but I do think we need to temper this triumphalism a bit. This week is somewhat perfectly set up for the nightmare scenario.

IF we lose two and they win 2 draw 1, then 10 goals isn't a huge ask, particularly as they play Sheffield who ship 4 for fun.

Personally I think Man City will beat Spurs, but it will be a huge game if the results go as expected this weekend.

$100 is paying about a grand and a half

$1505 to be exact.

I'm betting on a Spurs top 4 multi with a Spurs Draw/Win v Burnley and Liverpool Draw/Win v Villa.

For Spurs to get top 4, don't those two results have to happen anyway?

Likewise, this magnification of Spurs’ chance of going unbeaten in the next 3 games could do with being tempered too.

The likelihood is that we are going to do it with our current points total. I don’t think going into the next 2 weeks fretting over Spurs’ beating Man City is helpful to anyone.

Temper the triumphalism? Fucking hell, half of the site has been moping around like it's a wake for the past few weeks.

The other half is already buying their tickets to Milan though. Wouldn't advise either!

What site and how do you do this bet?

Strange behaviour when we've got Bayern Munich away first.

Neither are really my sort of city to be honest. Especially when Bologna's also on the list.
