[Albion] Premier League 16-20/5/25

[METALMICKY]

Literally everyone looks like a knob there. George dives, Onana nearly gives away a penelty, referee just gives it without knowing, then Chelsea players do their usual tactic by trying to influence the ref looking at the VAR monitor.

Colwill is a horrible prick for them too. Gangly and petulant.

Totally right about Levi. Personality wise he's good downhill badly.

Oh FFS the big haired toss pot has buried a great header!

 

[Machiavelli]

Great goal to be fair.

Don't want to be fair but it was

I've just realised the responsibility for ensuring Spurs finish fourth bottom is now entirely in our hands.

 

[Steve in Japan]

How's Slabhead done tonight? The Forehead seems to be inching forward, like your Grannie's wardrobe

Hurts, doesn't it?

 

[Motogull]

Well these 2 clubs losing is a pretty decent start to the weekend.

 

[Mancgull]

Would prefer United to draw so Chelsea slip out of CL places.

 

[Steve in Japan]

I know it's wrong, but I love seeing certain players clattered. I'll try to be better......

 

[Steve in Japan]

Amorim perfecting his escape plan. Nobody should have to put up with this shite........

If Chelsea finish 7th, 8th is still potentially a Europa League place so a bad result for us. Was looking good at 0-0.

Not entirely. We could lose and them still finish 17th. But we could certainly make it, er, certain.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Villa and Chelsea must be appreciative of being gifted three points in the race for the Champions League, by the sides trying to fluke their way into the Champions League.

Good results tonight. We need the fight for Champions League to be incredibly competitive so Citeh step up and smash Muff.

Would quite like City to step up tomorrow

I fear a Palace super show

 

[pigmanovich]

Great goal to be fair.

Even better assist!

 

[Hugo Rune]

I can't actually contemplate a Palace victory at this point. Too dark.

 

[Weststander]

The worst performing Manure and Spurs teams since the mid 70’s. Yet far and away the most expensive squads in their histories. Some recruiting gurus plus Solskjaer/Ten Hag have royally screwed up on a monumental scale …. for years.

Højlund cost £72m .

Chelsea will finish 7th if they lose to Nottingham Forest (who will need to win at West Ham) and....

Aston Villa draw or win at Manchester United on the final day
Manchester City get a point against either Bournemouth or Fulham

Entirely plausible

Eighth get a Europa spot. In this event, I can't work out if a Conference League spot is awarded at all.

Yes, still possible. If Chelsea had dropped points though it would have looked pretty likely. Other criteria also have to be met but if it comes down to Chelsea finishing 7th and winning UECL then Man City’s Europa League place for winning the FA Cup (here’s hoping) transfers to 8th. There would be no Conference League team.

Anyway, that’s Dale Johnson from ESPN’s take and has survived several rolling updates of his article. I think I just about understand why but ees complicated. Unlike most, he’s usually bang on with the finer details when it comes to UEFA’s impenetrable regulations.

I don't think 8th. gets a Europa (or any other European competition) spot now. The weekend's gone. Roll on the transfer window and lots of rumours!
