Will we qualify for the CL?

[dave.woodhall]

I'd probably put myself down as a VillaTim skeptic, but I find his miseryarsedom more comforting than any "we'll twat everyone" confidence, at the business end of the season. With even brontebilly suddenly dishing out sixes and sevens without a care in the world, VT's posts provide a much needed semblance of calm.

We'll twat everyone.

Would hope that we do qualify, but can't see it.
We've dropped too many points, draws that should have been wins and losses that should have been draws.
Imagine how many points we'd have got, prior to the Jan transfer window, if we'd got the recruits earlier and didn't have the injuries that we had.
I still think we'll get into Europe, just not in the CL!!

If it wasn't for the financial difference of being in the Champions League, I would be quite content with the Europa League or even the Conference League next season. 

The new format makes those two competitions very winnable and there would be less exertion given that we could probably field a weakened side in a lot of the group games.

Being in the Champions League has been special this season though and more than anything, there would be a financial implication to missing out.  It is also unquestionable that the profile of the club has been bigger this season given our involvement in the Champions League.

It's not the miseryarseness, it's the blatantly obviousnessness. I'm down with misery. *insert Bane voice* I was born it, molded by it.

The Spurs game being moved forward could be beneficial in allowing us to get points on the board a put pressure on our rivals.

Should we win of course.

Unless we beat Bournemouth there won't be so much riding on this game .

Always rely on Tim to bring the most depressing slant to the discussion.

He just sees things we can't. A revolutionary.

Like Noel Gallagher? We see things they'll never see

If it goes to the last day…..we’ve told Man Utd we will take Rashford if we qualify for the CL. Let that sink in.

I've taken on kitchen deliveries to reluctant customers. Let that sink in.

They beat us and sell him to Forest or Chelsea instead.

Apologies if this has been covered before.
If we finish 7th we are in the Conference?
If Man City finish in the top5 and win the FA Cup then they will vacate their Europa place which will go the best placed team in the league - us?
Likewise if Chelsea finish in the top 5 and win the Conference then they will vacate their Europa place and that will come to us?

Man City win the cup 7th = Europa
Palace win the cup 7th = Conference

We'll twat everyone.

We shall twat them on the beaches, we shall twat them on the landing grounds, we shall twat them in the fields and in the streets, we shall twat them in the hills; we shall never stop twatting them, the lot of them.

The fucking twats.

Chelsea winning the Conference makes no difference to league placings. There would just be one less English club in there.

[Meanwood Villa]

Yeah Chelsea's Europa place for winning Conference is not passed on. In a strange quirk, I saw somewhere that if they win the Conference so qualify for Europa and finish in the Conference qualifying spot then the Conference spot doesn't pass on either and there just won't be an English team in the Conference next season.

[Meanwood Villa]

Stop saying Conference!
