The race for the title

[Roynie]

remember that 4th still has to play a qualifier though.

Well, with Liverlolls draw we are now guaranteed 3rd, so no qualifier!

 

[Danfunkel]

Guaranteed Champions League football for the second season in a row and I'm still gutted we didn't win the league.

Shows how far we've come and are going!

Unless Man Utd win all remaining games and we lose them all, but even then goal difference gap is huge

 

[Shadydan]

Fantastic achievement!

 

[Armstrong_11]

if man u finishes in the top 4 and win the europa league... how many PL teams will get into the champions league next season?

 

[longtimespur]

the most annoying thing about Friday and even Everton last Sunday, is after hearing that WBA's season still has something to play for on the radio.

if yanited win the Europa, WBA would gain a place in next seasons Europa if they hold onto 8th spot.

only hope is Boro play a game like Palace in hope of staying alive, WBA want that carrot if it becomes available, and will know the night before if it's still alive, and that Chelscum find an upbeat Watford or Sunderland do what Nocastle did to us when it wasn't expected

You'd think wouldn't ya?...

Southampton and Newcastle 2016 say Hi

Difference is that we have Dele, Dembele and Wanyama for our remaining games this season.

 

[matthew.absurdum]

Now Top 3 and CL group stage mathematically guaranteed after man utd defeat

2 points needed to finish 2nd, maybe just 1 with gd in ourfavour.

one point...

one point...

Man city can still get to 78 points. so to be sure 2 points as i said, unless we lose all our games by 2 or 3 goal margin and they win 1 should be enough, so just now. it is still 2 points to be sure

 

[mano-obe]

If United win the Europa will it only be the top 3 to qualify for champions league?

a 15 goal turnaround if we only got 1 more point would take some doing considering the matches we both have left to play, especially as we have only conceded more than 2 goals once in the league 2 seasons.

no, the top 4 and utd would all go into next season's cl.

 

[bubble07]

I belive only 4th place needs a play off. Top 3 and winners of europa go straight into group stages

Mourinho has already said he's concentrating on the EL as it's the only realistic way into CL next year, and they play on Thursday this week. Even the pessimist in me doesn't think ........... err, ............ nope, I'm not going there!
