UTA…

 

[Bodian]

6th to 10th - which makes a change from 6th-9th! But probably 7th.

 

[GT49er]

Win would put us 6th. on Tuesday night. 6th. or 7th. after the round of games is completed (8th. mathematically possible, but only if ManU get double figures at Wolves). Unlikely.

Of course, draw or lose, a whole different scenario.

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

6th to 10th - which makes a change from 6th-9th! But probably 7th.

6th to 11th, technically

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

If we win versus Luton there are some tricky fixtures for the teams around us.

 

[Hotchilidog]

Tough game tomorrow night but a win at the very least maintains 7th. Every game is massive from now on.

 

[GT49er]

6th to 11th, technically

6th. to 10th. ManU and Wolves can't both win.

 

[Simster]

6th. to 10th. ManU and Wolves can't both win.

11th technically

(We'd have to lose by at least 12 goals though, as Man Utd would have to lose to Wolves but simultaneously overcome a ten goal swing over us!)

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

6th. to 10th. ManU and Wolves can't both win.

What Simster said. They can't both win, but they can both go above us!

 

[GT49er]

What Simster said. They can't both win, but they can both go above us!

Either of them can. Not both.




Unless you truly believe Luton can win a PL match by a margin of 12 goals or more. I think we can safely rule that out, eh?

Well it depends whether Dunk is starting or not.

Yes, we know.

But the thing is, you argued that "6th - 11th technically" was wrong. It isn't. It is technically possible, even if we all know it's never going to happen.

I don't truly believe that Chelsea can win away at Liverpool either, but I'm including it in the 'technically possible' pot

You great big argumentative fella

I hope that Sheffield United bounce back from their hiding at the weekend.

Sorry I’m sure this is a stupid question I just can’t seem to find the answer online. How many teams will the PL get in Europe this year? Or when will we know?

It's not a stupid question, as we just don't know the exact figure atm.

Definitely 7 minimum (4 CL, 2 EL, 1 ECL).

It could however go to 8, based on our CL co-efficient potentially meaning 5 teams in the Champions League next season - we won't know about that extra place til the end of the season though I believe, as it's partly based on how our sides do in Europe this season. Last I heard, at present we were not doing enough to claim that 5th spot.

I think this is fairly accurate but I'm sure some DULLARD will be along to neaten it up.

Does England get an extra place if that team wins one of the European competitions?

Does a Champions League winner get an extra place?
Do the Europa League winners get an extra place in one of next seasons competitions?
Do the Conference League winners get an extra place in one of next seasons competitions?

Although if a non-PL team wins the FA Cup, could that mean only six PL teams in Europe?
