I’m sure whether we finished 2nd, 3rd or 4th (5th if Man City Ban holds up) then we will be straight in the group stages and a very low seed, but I’d love a Spanish giant home & away

As I’m already going to be in Salou
HighPeakFox Posted 8 July 2020 Posted 8 July 2020 For the nth time, there would be no pre-qualifying for the CL whether we finish 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th (assuming the ban is upheld)

Les-TA-Jon Posted 8 July 2020 Posted 8 July 2020 After Wolves losing 64 points is more and more looking like the magic number folks
Corky Posted 8 July 2020 Posted 8 July 2020 Depending on whether fifth qualifies, six points guarantees it as Wolves can reach 64, Sheffield United and Tottenham 63 but we play the latter two so that could be reduced.
Stevosevic Posted 8 July 2020 Posted 8 July 2020 We shouldn't blow top 5 from here. 7 point lead with 4 games left. Over to you CAS....

I'm just hoping we forget points required and go on a bit of a winning streak to finish the season off.

lcfcfoz Posted 8 July 2020 Posted 8 July 2020 huge weekend and 1 game tomorrow night, if spurs fail to beat both bournemouth tomorrow and arsenal on sunday, if sheff u fail to beat chelsea saturday, and if wolves fail to beat everton on sunday, which are all games before we play, then 3 points against bouremouth would all but guarantee 5th place, barring goal difference, huge incentive as 5th could then be confirmed come monday to be enough! so monday we could be confirmed as playing in next seasons champions league! For official confirmation we would need wolves to lose to everton, as goal difference could still theoretically be caught.
st albans fox Posted 8 July 2020 Posted 8 July 2020 If CAS find against Man City, then surely they will appeal to the Swiss high court or the European court ?? If CAS reduce the ban to one year then perhaps Man City will accept that

If CAS reduce the ban to one year then perhaps Man City will accept that Believe CAS is the final option. Because any court proceedings would take place after competition has begun. So be a case of compensation rather than inclusion to the tournament. In the latest case with a big club, CAS found AC Milan guilty but the punishment of a ban was considered excessive. Yet UEFA still insisted on the ban and was a part of negotiations. (As you’ve pointed out in the second sentence)

Aus Fox Posted 8 July 2020 Author Posted 8 July 2020 Everyone’s maximum points with 4 games to go (Utd and Spurs have 5). 2 wins makes certain of 5th place and ensures 4th place goes to the last game of the season at least. Chelsea 72 Leicester 71 Man Utd 70 Wolves 64 Sheff Utd 63 Spurs 63 Arsenal 62 Burnley 61
urban fox Posted 8 July 2020 Posted 8 July 2020 Looking at the fixtures remaining I think Chelsea are probably the most nervous of dropping out of top 4. Could easily them getting only one more win and possibly a couple of draws, which if we win our next two leaves them unable to catch us due to our superior GD. This is pretty much in our own hands here to push for 3rd.

This is pretty much in our own hands here to push for 3rd. I mean I get the point you are making, but 'in our own hands' is pretty binary - it either is or it isn't. And in the case of us getting 3rd it isn't in our own hands. We need Chelsea to drop points - that's the very definition of not in our own hands.
Pliskin Posted 8 July 2020 Posted 8 July 2020 We have the beauty of a four point gap. If we can win our next two it will put us in an amazing position with two games to go.... and I’m not wholly convinced United will win all of them. Plus they have a cup game to distract them. They will drop lints between now and when we play them. Personally I think they will drop points to Southampton, if they do, we might just need to win our next two, and we’re safe. Chelsea on the other hand have the same issue as united, with the cup and they’ve got to play Sheffield United, I really wouldn’t be looking at that as a given if I was Chelsea, not with their ropey back four.
Gerard Posted 8 July 2020 Posted 8 July 2020 I wouldn't bother with any of this until Monday and when we know whether top four or top five is good enough. Play Bournemouth like only a win will do and see how the land lies 24 hours later.
Chrysalis Posted 8 July 2020 Posted 8 July 2020 if man city ban is upheld, suddenly things look a little more positive with wolves losing 2 in a row.
Vardinio'sCat Posted 8 July 2020 Posted 8 July 2020 The extra FA cup game for the others will help us, I do love a bit of extra time.
