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

Speaking of which, many hotels are already booked up for the final. I might have to stay in my old hunting ground of Gmund am Tegernsee.

$100 is paying about a grand and a half

$1505 to be exact.
What site and how do you do this bet?


Why not just bet on Spurs for top4? I got 16/1 on that. So 100 becomes 1700

Spurs draw with City? Based on fucking what?

The universe hating us.

That’s your fault for offering your winnings to Acorns. The Universe said, “yes, please”!

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!

I'd stay in Athens, Ads. It's written in the stars they'll be in our CL group next season.

edit - yes still 16-1 on some sites.  But if you can double it with results that have to happen for them to get top 4 anyway, can you increase it further?

11-1 now

That’ll be the thousands of pounds being lumped on by terrified Villa fans

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

We have multi billionaire owners experienced at running multiple sports clubs. I’d be amazed if we aren’t all over this and have been for months. This is a case of the London press trying to kick us because we’ve got the nerve to upset the usual suspects, one of them being Tottenham.

Haha, yep almost certainly! 

I think the thing is for me that, of course, 5th would still be a good season.  The Europa is a better standard than the Conference, but not by much. Given we've been in the  top 4 for most of the season, getting 5th now would be like drawing a game that you really should've won - it feels more like a loss.

Bookies are usually wise to that and don’t permit contingent accas. You can try though

Edit : just tried this on Bet365. It’s not permitted.

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

$100 is paying about a grand and a half
For Spurs to get top 4, don't those two results have to happen anyway?
If those 2 draws do happen then that would mean we’ve secured 4th place.

Hope olympiakos do qualify for Cl i would like to see how they do against a full strength villa. I think it would be a much different result

Aha, you're a casino man? At least, that's what I know Gmünd for

Burnley at home and Sheffield Utd away are both very winnable, and potentially heavily. Doesn’t mean they will win them, but you’d expect them to. So it basically comes down to Citeh at home, which whilst unlikely it’s hardly beyond the realms of possibility that they could win that.

I don’t think they’ll do it, but it’d be nice after 3 and a half poor performances we could just pull something out of the bag and take it out if their hands.
