Shall we close this thread?

If we finish out of the top 4, Conte deserves whatever sack comes his way. The moaning about money, the questionable substitutions, and the lack of adventure in a team that is filled with several of playmakers and one of the best in the league have all contributed to what has been a dire season. Not to mention losing to several teams that should be easy wins, even with our second string team, and continuing to play a false nine system that hasn't been working since September.

 

we are a joke and falling behind our rivals

300m needed just to get close to city not to mention liverpool utd pulling clear too

Is it the case this season that if Arsenal win the Europa League Cup they get the 'forth' Champions League spot and whoever is in forth place in the Premiership goes into The Europa League? Anyone know for sure?

Top 4 get Champions League, if a side wins either the Champs League or Europa League then they are entered as a 5th side from that nation. Not as a replacement for the 4th placed side.

Ah OK. Thanks for that Holmsy.

The numbers are in and this is what English clubs made from CL this season. 

 

If Liverpool win the Champions league and qualify automatically for next season Champions league will the 5th placed team also play in the Champions league?

No, if a CL winning side has already qualified via their league position, the extra place is allocated to another country, I think in this case its the country in UEFAs ranking outside the top 8 or 10, so its either Belgium in 9th or Austria in 11th.

These countries will get an extra place but it would be through the qualifiers only, not automatic.

Well, Spurs drew...

Spurs to have a Spursy end to the season, while we go on a winning run and clinch 4th spot.

Im being too optimistic aren’t I.

It’s a ban-able offence here. Join the rest of us wallowing in despair and misery.  

Had Conte sorted his sh1t out in that West Ham game, we maybe in a shout for the 4th spot heading into the game tomorrow. Realistically, we got no chance even if Spurs drop a couple of games in a row.

Alright. Now I don't need to be worried if Liverpool fail to win the Champions League

Spurs will have to have a really Spursy moment to lose that 4th spot from here.

I believe we play before them next week, if we were to beat Swansea then poch and his grubby little team may find their poopers going a little. If only conte wasn't such a sulky so and so we may of been closer, o'well fa cup for me, trophy's  a trophy!!

It would be so nice to have them thinking, they’re only 2 points behind us... F*ck!!!

All we can do is keep nibbling at them, keep them under pressure. Abit like what they have done to us a few years ago!!

Come on Chelsea please please win the rest of the games! 

We are more likely to catch Liverpool as we can take 3 points off them. If they lose one game against their other two opponents we can overtake them

Will never happen 

We threw the season away with consecutive 3 goal losses to Watford and Bournemouth.

 

If we end up missing the top 4 by a couple of points, it's our own fault. We don't deserve top 4. That said, if Liverpool and/or Spurs choke enough to miraculously hand us a spot in there, I won't be sad about it...

Not gonna happen. Do not think we deserve top 4 to be honest.

The way i see it, you are where you deserve to be. If Tottenham or Liverpool choke and lose that top 4 spot, then they don't deserve top 4. 

Liverpool lose one and we win our next 3 games we would be 2 points behind them when we face them at the Bridge.
