Just got a goal back from Siggy.
I’m not that bothered who wins but it would marginally better if West Ham would be ground into dust as we can’t do it to Pool

I’d be happy with top 4 again this season. No official home for half a season (minimum), no new signings and a handful of jaded players from the World Cup. We could easily sneak 3rd again but can’t see us realistically challenging Liverpool and Emirates Marketing Project.
Having said that, I don’t believe Chelsea are better than us so I’d be gutted if we finish below them. United are at a similar level to us collectively, if not slightly better but finishing above them isn’t out of the question.
I think this is where our fans quickly need to re-align their expectations. They have improved, have less WC minutes, and look pretty fit and firing. They are 6 points ahead of us already. Would be a big leap of faith to think we could catch and go past them from what we’ve seen so far.
Looks a straight fifth for 4th with Utd to me, and that’s if the Goons don’t improve.
Reports doing the rounds in the last couple days (sure a good few of you have seen them) that Emirates Marketing Project are likely to be banned from the CL next season, which will result in 5th place being enough to qualify for the CL.
Looks like they pretended a 60m cash injection from their owners came from sponsors instead. Not sure how it differs from the whole stitch up job on the etihad deal, but guess they forgot to dot the I's and cross the T's on this particular aspect of their giant forgery machine.
Thoughts? Would mean we're as good as qualified next season but then so would the goons!
Mixed feelings for me.
Or any small club, that spent €1 too much.Won’t happen IMO
They need the big clubs in it and city now carry some weight at the top table
The6 would happily ban a team that didn’t qualify for Europe however

If we came 5th they would probably just include the runners up of the Azerbaijan league instead
The rules state the next best placed team, in the same association of the sanctioned club takes their place.
Reports suggest they are going to be found guilty with a ban very likely.
What they have done amounts to outright fraud and deception.
It wouldn't surprise me if criminal proceedings followed after the ruling. If that happens then our own association will have no choice but to act, which would mean relegation to league 2 looking at the precedents.

Can never assume anything in football but I'm fairly confident Emirates Marketing Project will turn Chelsea over on Saturday or get a point at worst.
Trouble is scum have Huddersfield, Soton and Burnley in the next few games which they will probably amass 9 points and likely double their goal difference. They then go to Liverpool who will hopefully do us a favour and smash them into oblivion.
Make no mistake about it, Leicester and Everton will not be easy games, but still winnable. We also need to smash Burnley and improve our goal difference.

Im confident for leicester game as we should see Jan and Toby at the back and both should be in good shape. Plus change the full backs and one or two others. Also Kane was able to rest for the last 30 mins today, as we surrendered possession to soton at 3-0 up.
Everton will be tough but hopefully we will feel the benefit of wholesale changes against the goon in the league cup a few days earlier, including a long overdue rest for Kane.
