I'm a southerner and I always asked my mam "what's for tea!".For most Southerners (sensible people), tea time is mid afternoon when you drink tea and maybe have a bit of cake. There is also the ceremonial/celebration type of afternoon tea with a platter of sandwiches, cakes, pastries, sometimes alcohol.
For people from somewhere in the Midlands upwards tea is dinner, the evening meal. There is also something of a class divide in the naming of the evening meal.
Edit: there is official data
What if City win the CL does it then go to 5th?
I used to just bellow “FOOD!”
Understanding of probability fail
As a lower-middle class kid in Norfolk in the 60s, we were too posh to have tea as our evening meal but not posh enough to have dinner (I never heard that term till I went to London in 1980, everyone I knew had dinner in the middle of the day).For most Southerners (sensible people), tea time is mid afternoon when you drink tea and maybe have a bit of cake.

No. We can have 5 if a team outside the top 4 wins the CL or EL though.
Mam - Northern, Irish, calling your mother M'am like the queen?
Only if City finish 5th, which they won't obvs
It does originate from when working class labourers would have their largest meal during the working day, i.e. dinner, so evening meal was a smaller affair I.e. tea.
We're really not gonna get in the top 4, may as well except it. Newcastle are flying and Utd have 2 games in hand...
....oh!
