Top 4? 2020/2021

[Spursidol]

We are still in the mix for top 4 after Chelsea draw - we are 6 points off 4th with 2 games in hand - with both .Leicester and ManU just a point ahead of Chelsea (albeit we only have one game in hand against both).

With 11 games to go there could still be a few swings and roundabouts as the table is still pretty close from 2nd down to mid-table, although further down the table to the middle the 'gap' gets to an almost unrealistic size to bridge,

If Manc win the CL is it top five for CL qualification next season

If Manc win the CL is it top five for CL qualification next season

But if both CL and EL are won by English clubs its still 5 CL places.....but two are taken by EL and CL winners leaving 3 places to be won by league position.

You’d need Woolwich to win EL AND Chelsea/Liverpool to win UCL for any chance of this to kick us out of UCL if we finish 4th.

Did something change because it’s never been this way before.

Since Chelsea won kicking us out of CL despite 4th place, after that it changed

No, that only applies if the CL winner finishes outside top 4... the top 4 still qualify.

If man city wins UCL and finishes 1st and us 5th, only 4 qualify (assuming none win Europa).

Since when did that rule come in? Why have they done that?

If ManU won EL and Liverpool /Chelsea won CL , still a possible problem for us if we finished 5th for example.

A lot of permutations to consider atm.

That’s what I thought. Extra place only comes into play if say Liverpool won the CL this season. They get it in that instance.

 

[JIMINHO]

Well the teams ahead of us are doing their best to get us in the top 4. It’s really in our hands with the games we have left. I reckon 7 wins, 2 draws and a loss will get us in the top 4 but that’s quite the run of results. I think a lot depends on the league final. If we can win that, I think all our players will get a huge boost to finish the season strong.

It won’t matter if we finish 5th because 5th doesn’t get CL unless something changed this season.

Let's just win the EL and not have to worry about it

 

[bonaspur23]

Here are the rules that have been in place since Chelsea won UCL :

Top 4 qualify in league.

If team wins UCL and finishes outside top 4, UCL winner + top 4 qualify = 5

If teams outside top 4 win both UCL and Europa, both qualify + top 3 in league = 5

If we finish 5th, the only permutation to consider is next years Europa league (unless we win this years).

OMG.
Liverpool win ECL, Woolwich win EL we finish 4th....gulp...

 

[Gmspurs]

OMG.
Liverpool win ECL, Woolwich win EL we finish 4th....gulp...

Don't go there.......... Just don't.....

 

[Zomb]

Fucks sake, it’s gonna happen again isn’t it

 

[hiatus]

4th place and beating Woolwich in the Europa League final, thus denying Chelsea, West Ham, Liverpool and Woolwich places in the Champions League next season?

 

[Gmspurs]

OMG.
Liverpool win ECL, Woolwich win EL we finish 4th....gulp...

Or........

Liverpool win ECL.......

WE win EL.......

Chelsea 4th


Revenge after all these years will be sooooo sweet...... This has to happen now.
