Only 5 teams from one country can enter the champions league, so 4th place would miss out if City and Liverpool won their respective European trophies and neither qualified in top four of EPL.

And good news if you're a fan of the Premier league is that because of the poor performance of Italian teams in Europe this season, the co-efficient has meant that 4 English clubs will continue to qualify for the Champion's league for next 2 years.

Yes they did, they just failed to make it out of the qualifying round.


Hahahahahahahaha!

The year Liverpool won it UEFA made a special exception to allow Liverpool to defend the title even though they'd finished 5th. I think it was a one off.

Some interesting fixtures this Saturday. Arsenal visit Everton who, though brittle at the back should be on a high after FA cup victory over Chelsea.

I don't think Arsenal can afford to drop any points in this one.

Leicester face a tricky tie at Palace, the only team in England who have not won a league match this year, so I believe. I think that could change as they are also on a high after FA cup victory.

Tottenham face an inform Bournemouth.

An interesting stat:

Leicester gained 20 points from the teams they play in their remaining fixtures.

Spurs gained 10 from the teams they have to play in the run in.

I think Palace are due a win. Having said that the number of times I've predicted a Leicester loss this season hasn't helped my Predictor scores one iota but I've gone 2-1 Palace. Probably the kiss of death for them.


Spurs have by far the tougher run in and being five points behind Leicester is a very tough ask. Obviously I want Spurs to win the title but if Leicester do pull it off it will surely go down in history as one of the greatest achievements in football league history.

That match was a tribute to the influence of Victor Wanyama who came on at half time. Apparently Liverpool were controlling the midfield first half.

    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant. 
    • Still, I guess it could be a lot worse than water being thrown at you by these numpty youths during these warmer times? thankfully it wasn't the more dangerous mugging type youths that crossed your path waving knifes and guns in your face!  just a thought? hopefully these muppets will get sorted by plod soon, but don't hold your breath.
