That's changed for next season too. The national coefficient element is just a minimum now rather than added to our score. So Burnley still get the 20% of the English coefficient as normal to make sure they're seeded ahead of some part-timers from the Faroe Islands who've previously won a couple of qualifiers, but it doesn't affect our coefficient or give us an advantage compared to e.g. Celtic or a disadvantage compared to e.g. Atletico Madrid.

Wish we were playing these last 4 games at white hart lane. Instead of this shit overrated wank stain of a ground. The gaff gives me no confidence. I know weve had good results there this season but its dragged on too long for me.
Come on boys, lets bring the quality into these last games and secure that champs league footie to take into our new home.

I think (hope) now we will see just what our performance pay structure is all about. I'm certain that it will include a "top four" incentive but also hoping it works along the lines of significant reward for each place gained in the league. In contrast to Utd. Liverpool and Chelsea these clubs just pay their players big salaries (I'm sure there are bonuses for trophy wins, if so that's where their attention will lie).
the nauseating press reports. how they are well placed for the title blah blah blah. Lawrenson claimed on the Beeb the other day that Liverpool are playing football unlike anything he's ever seen before, all that shite.
be funny as hell, what with Salah having the season of his life, 75 million on Van Dick, and they end up worse off than before
unlikely though..they get 4th at worst, IMO
It could do but that’s a lot of what if’s......
In the meantime they are closing the gap to Spurs though?
When you look at the current table we are just above them.
All well and good talking about points we can win. Fact is we have dropped points at “home” this season to lower half teams. And our form has dipped (with the return of Harry).
So I can’t really blame the media for being factual.
All this Skysports bullshit.. ‘Could Chelsea spring a surprise and beat Spurs to a top 4 place?’
We are more likely to finish 3rd than 5th! We have 2 games in hand over Liverpool, plus the play Chelsea next weekend.
Liverpool’s +18 goal difference over Chelsea makes it difficult for it to happen. I think it’ll be Spurs in 3rd and Liverpool in 4th.

Thanks for the Info
So judging on how becoming proxy City supporters last month panned out I assume none of us are kidding ourselves into thinking that Liverpool will do us a huge solid and beat Chelsea this weekend?
I’m pretty nervous about West Brom. They’re on great form and still have something to play for. We’re in stuttering form and need a win and a draw to guarantee top 4.
I really don’t want to go into the last 2 games still needing results. And I certainly don’t want it going down to the last day.
This weekend could wrap it all up...but we all know that it’s never that simple with Spurs.

Nazis v Dippers is great .... will be happy whatever .....
Nazis lose it's EL time for them ....
Dippers lose and we're even more nailed on for 3rd ....
Draw and they're both losers ....

We’re 67/1 to finish outside the top4.
I’m a massive fucking pessimist, so that’s worth £20 quid any day of the week.

Quietly confident of third place
Listened to Talkshite last night (I know, Adrian Durham is a cunt but he’s doing his job)
They were having a go about our ‘project’ coming off the rails
Clearly not aware that 3/4 years ago Poch stated that in 3 years (.not quite sure of exact dates) we would be on the cusp of moving into a new stadium and challenging for top four
Well here we are 3 years later moving into a new stadium next season, been in top four last two seasons and again this season
Ok no trophies but Poch has massively overachieved given his resources
They then went on saying we should make more signings like Moura if we’re going to get anywhere
Really?
Not what he said when we signed him
Then apparently Moura’s signing showed our lack of ambition!!!
Make your fucking mind up you ginger Gooner maggot!!

Where did you get those odds? It's 25/1 on Bet365.
Sky bet
Edit - looks like they’re having technical issues and their site is now down.
Them odds must’ve broke the system.
My dipper supporting mate at work has raised this exact scenario as how he see's there season ending.....with that level of pessimism he should have been Spurs fan!
4th and no cup for all their holler is poor.
Whilst it will make me nervous, them losing the final is best for us as it will mean they concentrate less on the league
He also said that Alli is unappreciated at Spurs and he needs to move if he wants to get the plaudits he deserves.
It's fucking professional troll cunts like him in the media that are continually putting the boot into Alli, he's appreciated by our supporters (mostly).

It does grate how the media have been ass licking the dippers as its feels like the have superseded us as "media darlings" in the second half of the season.
To be fair though, i am happy with the team being out of the limelight because it means the transfer target stories have calmed a little.
Our players are probably all leaving now because we are shit, rather than because the players are attracting attention by how well they are playing.
If that even makes sense.
dont matter. its in our hands. win our remaining games and we finish above them.
Win our remaining 3 games and we got 3rd regardless!
