Not that easy. Slavia scored 6 goals against Sevilla.
Away leg first could be tricky for them. If Slavia can nick a win at home it could make that return leg very awkward
No, that doesn't happen anymore. Only winners can get a European place or it goes to the league.
So we've got Wolves, Watford, West Ham. Leicester & Everton who can all qualify for the Europa should Man City win the FA Cup then? Is that correct?
If so there's 11 fixtures Man U, Chelsea & Woolwich face against those teams, with us having to play West Ham & Everton as well. All of a sudden those 13 games where it seems they have very little to play for have a fair old amount of meaning if things keep going how they're going and 7th place gets Europa.
7th place will probably get Europa League next season it seems.

you're correct. All of a sudden Wolves, Watford, West Ham, Leicester & Everton have something serious to play for. 13 fixtures against top 4 challengers all of a sudden theirs a different complexionto those games moving forward:
European qualification for UEFA competitions explained
Where these qualifications changes
a) If the FA Cup winners finish in the top five of the Premier League, their UEL group stage place will go to the next-highest ranked team not qualified for UEFA competitions in the Premier League.
b) If the EFL Cup winners finish in the top five of the Premier League (or top six if (a) happens), their UEL third qualifying round place will go to the next-highest ranked team not qualified for UEFA competitions in the Premier League.
Wolves have to play Man U & Woolwich at home
Watford have to play Man U away & Woolwich + Chelsea at home
West Ham have to play Chelsea, Man U & Tottenham away
Leicester have to play Woolwich & Chelsea at home
Everton have to play Woolwich & Man U at home & Tottenham away.
13 games that had a team with nothing to play for against a top 4 challenger a week or so ago, all of a sudden both teams at present have something to play for with 7th getting Europa. That's definitely something to keep an eye on.
2 teams can still win the league, 4 teams can still qualify for top 4, 5 teams can potentially qualify for the Europa League 7th place slot and 8 teams are in a 3 way fight for relegation with Cardiff being 7 points withna game in hand away from Newcastle. Literally every team apart from Bournemouth are in danger of losing something if they don't show up for matches. 19 out of 20 teams all go into games with something to fight for, 18 of you include the dead rubber of Huddersfield. Incredible with only 7-9 league games left.

It will be a multitude of many things rather than one person or one thing to blame.
I still think if we win all our home games and get a result against Bournemouth then top 4 is in the bag, but I also think we will get a result at Anfield!

If Chelsea & Man U lose 1 more game each, mathematically we can lose both games against Liverpool & Man City as long as our GD doesn't take a beating and finish in the top 4.
One more loss each for Chelsea and Man U and unless they hammer their goaldifference in the remaining games we can afford to lose 2 more games and still be ahead of them should we win the rest
Very happy to see the Chelsea result today. Gives us just the tiniest bit of breathing room, especially considering how tough United's run in will be (and they and Chelsea have to play one-another still).
The most galling thing is how nicely this is all set up for Woolwich to get top four and/or finish above us. I cannot describe how much pleasure them fucking it all up would give me. We'll need at least one good result from the Liverpool and City matches to hold them off, I reckon.

The Problem for the scum is away games. They seem to travel worse than a week old fish stew
Well they’re due to play united on the 2/4/19 semi final is the 6,7/4/19 they could take things easy?
Their fans smell as bad too
Watch how many City and Dipper players pick up 'mystery' injuries before the International break, then watch how the same players are miraculously back fit for the run-in ... if the FA don't take action we should pull all our players as well, can't be right that the same teams take the piss over and over again ....
Last game of the season fixtures:
Burnley vs Woolwich
Man U vs Cardiff
We could have a relegation/ top 4 scrap double header. Really we want to see Cardiff and Burnley toe to toe going into that last day of the season. Very juicy

Already happening, shame poch doesn’t do the same but Dier and dele could do with some more game time to improve there match fitness
5 wins or 16 points.
77 enough.
