If we don't make top 4, which is quite likely to happen, it would be funny if Man U did win the CL, just **** off the bin dippers.
Would also keep Moyes in a job, and hopefully give us first dibs on a top draw manager/coach.
I wouldn't cry if the dippers had EL next season and we didn't..[/QUOTE]
I have a feeling we will be in the EL no matter what, unless we finish 8th.
We will know more I suppose after Sunday, but the odds are that City will beat Sunderland on Sunday meaning 5th and 6th place will qualify for next seasons EL, but, there is a possibility we could have a really early start to next season.
There is a strong chance that two of Arsenal,CIty and Everton could contest the FA Cup final meaning even if we fell away and finished 7th we would still qualify, and could end up in the 3rd qualifying round, rather than the 4th, and have to play matches on 31st July and Aug 7th.
Its a lot of ifs, but it does look like we're stuck with the EL for next season.
I know a lot of fans dont like to see our rivals doing well in Europe, but the downside of these current results could have a big knock-on effect to England's coefficient points in a few seasons time.
CL Arsenal and City on the verge of going out in the Last 16, United now behind
EL Wigan out, Swansea not favourites to progress, while we still have a lot to do
Could be just Chelsea flying the flag, and thats not a gimme either. Might not even have any reps in the next round of either competiton.
First task is for one of us to actually score a goal. 4 1/2 matches completed and no English club has scored a goal in this round.
