Will we qualify for the CL?

[Meanwood Villa]

Uh oh, not the best players that have won one league game since February.

Exactly, this lot are fucking wank

[itbrvilla]

I can't help but shake the feeling the Man City loss will cost us big. Can't see Chelsea loosing tonight, and Forest have been shit since we beat them.

[Steve67]

We need to take care of our own business tonight and against Man Yew and hope, cross everything that Forest somehow come good Lazarus stylee against Chelsea.  I guess Chelsea will also have to do a bit of protecting their squad because they also have a Euro final to play.  I think they are firm favourites to win the 5th spot though.

I read this morning that there is some suggestion of a 6th ECL spot, I presume it is clickbait nonsense.

There will be six Premier League teams in the Champions League next year.

[Somniloquism]

Yes, 5 in the league and one of the twats next week.

[cdbearsfan]

Not via the league though. Top five only (in case Steve was thinking it could advantage us, it can't).

Dogtanian, where the heck have you been? This place has both gone to the dogs and gone dogging without you.

If anyone has gone dogging, rest assured, I was there in spirit! 

[Dogtanian]

So from Dogtanian's analysis...win our last 2 games and there's a 99% chance of Champions League football?

Well, my analysis is merely looking at every possible permutation of all matches and then looking at how many of those result in us getting top 5. But it doesn't look at the likelihood of any possible permutation.

So in other words, every game has a 1 in 3 chance of being a win, loss, or draw for a given side, but we all know that it's rarely that simple.

Obviously, the more permutations in your favour the better!

Just back from a trip in my time machine and brought this back with me.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Is there any way we can get us and Forest in and the moneyed clubs (Man City & Chelsea) miss out?

[Dogtanian]

I have two problems with Forest getting in the Champions League, plus another one;

1. Their owner.
2. It cheapens our achievement if any old tat can do it.
3. They literally cheated and overspent and have pretty much got away with it scot free.

[PaulWinch again]

I don’t think we make it if Chelsea do.

[cdbearsfan]

Is there any way we can get us and Forest in and the moneyed clubs (Man City & Chelsea) miss out?

Yep. Villa and Forest both win their remaining games, Man City fail to win either of theirs. We could also both finish above Newcastle in the unlikely event they fail to take more than a point from their final two matches.

[Steve67]

Not via the league though. Top five only (in case Steve was thinking it could advantage us, it can't).

I’m a silly old bugger because I’d forgotten about the Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United cup final. It does seem ridiculous though doesn’t it? Two teams who are 17th and 16th in the league table can end up in the Champions League. What an absolute farce, they should be embarrassed with themselves.
