Will we qualify for the CL?

[TheToffnar]

Ironically if  Man Utd win the Europa and qualify for the CL, with their last 2 games being Chelsea away and us at Old Trafford, they could eliminate us or Chelsea from the CL despite being an absolute rabble all season...

You can just see it can't you...

Or both of us.

....and probably in stoppage time

I think we’re quite fortunate to have to play both of the likely Europa League finalists as, given their league positions, the league is not going to be a priority for either of them.
However, this is Villa we’re talking about so, expect Spurs to win one of their few games this season and Manure to revive the spirit of Fergie!!

They don't even need that, they can channel the spirit of Ten Hag and still beat us.

But we're not at all scarred.

I've got a big one from my knee op.

Do we have a list of who's likely to qualify for next season's Champions League? I want to see who we'll be playing in it.

They both know a point will do it, they play out a draw as obvious as the Disgrace of Gijon. The FA docks them both 3 points, they both miss out. No CL money sends Chelsea into irreversible decline and relegation. Forest go back to being a lower league side.

There's a quantum reality somewhere in the universe where this happens, and I want to go there.

The 2025/26 Champions League page on Wikipedia is as good a place as any for confirmed entrants. The rankings bloke on Twitter and Bluesky is good for speculation.

This his latest prediction, obviously not including Villa. I think our coefficient is about 47 so if we qualified we'd probably be in pot three now. Not that pots really matter any more.

Man Utd in Pot One!

[Somniloquism]

With 6 in, I believe same country fixtures are not blocked for that country in the league phase.

[cdbearsfan]

It would be impossible to arrange so that the the top seeds from the same country didn't play each other, as there aren't enough non-English top seeds to go round. Would hope that English pot three/four teams could still avoid playing other Premier League teams, though.

Yes, I know. My post was more about injecting some positivity in the thread.
