Will we qualify for the CL?

I'm not even sure Liverpool will win against us, nevermind the CL.

What the Hell is happening here? You're the one poster I can usually rely on for no jinxy nonsense.

Further confirmed here. Villa or Liverpool finish fifth and win Champions/Europa League, sixth gets Champions League.  Villa and Liverpool finish fifth and sixth (in either order) and both win their respective continental competitions, seventh gets Champions League.

I'm sure I was saying this about six months ago and NOBODY BELIEVED ME. I'm not even going to pretend not to be hurt.

I also have always known this was the case. I'm sure I have read it in previous years that if the team who finished 5th won then the place was passed down, but didn't if they were in the top 4. I don't think it's new for this season or anything, unless I'm misremembering.

It isn't new. It was mentioned at length a few years ago when there was a possibility of Atalanta winning the Europa League and finishing fifth (they eventually won it and finished fourth so the place didn't pass down).

Ahh yes, that's right. I knew there must have been some reason why I was aware of it.

I stand corrected. I asked copilot on a busy working afternoon recently. I do hope the superintendent got my report on Maccabi Tel Aviv in all the confusion.
